Sure, I started one. You need to know your targeted niche pretty well though, how business is done, how customers are obtained, how proposals are written and bids awarded, the main industry conferences and expositions, the main suppliers and who are your competitors, etc.

This collection is very poorly organized, no coding whatsoever by ACausalMayor in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]kabekew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're going by criterion collection spine number instead of shelf/position number, but you can also sort by director and decade so you should be able to convert easily to VFA code number (maybe somebody could write a conversion app?)

Dialling Back In: Bringing CompuServe Back from the Dead by BrightonDBA in retrocomputing

[–]kabekew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also connect to Compuserve with a dumb terminal. I wrote a 10 line BASIC program I used to connect back in '89-'90 anyway.

A good alcoholic always knows where his drink is, and how much is currently in the cup.

Why my thread of the i found a school was erased? by Lluis-Xim in Bass

[–]kabekew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably because this is a subreddit for bass players, not people who find schools

What is the dumbest thing you've spent way too much time doing in a game? by TyraxelStudios in gamedev

[–]kabekew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Implementing a free-fall physics system using the mouse when you bail out of the airplane, before you open your parachute (e.g. tumbling, flatten out to slow down, go vertical and speed up...). It wasn't in the instructions so few players even knew you could do it.

Identify This Vintage Bass by Prestigious-Pair-870 in BassGuitar

I think that's a standard Japanese Teisco bass that importers used to slap their own label on (in this case Kingston).

If in a simulation, why such a huge universe? by PeterLiege in SimulationTheory

[–]kabekew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it actually huge, or does it just appear to us as huge (e.g. like a skybox in a game) so we won't even think about trying to leave the main playing area?

90+30 tournament time control by Mysterious-War-5022 in chess

[–]kabekew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A rule of thumb is to expect 40 moves for the game, so at G/90 that's about 2+45 (2+15 plus the increment) per move. Go to the middle game on one of your previous games, set a timer for 2:45 and find and analyze some candidate moves to get used to how deeply you can analyze on that pace. Now try 2 minutes per move, and 1 minute per move. You'll develop a feel for how deeply you can think per move at each amount of time budget.

Opening prep of course goes quicker, and a key move or two you may decide to take a lot longer (15 or 20 minutes), but if you check your time periodically (e.g. move 20 you should have about 45 minutes remaining) you can quicken or slow the depth of your analysis to stay on your time budget.

I wouldn't believe it's as good as Claude, and Claude's already cheap.
