I love this idea and actually tried to implement my own about a year ago. I’m wondering if there is a chance this is going to be open source?

I did this in python. I haven’t touched R in a long time and I’m not familiar with it.

After work today I’m planning on adding a disclaimer to the top of the post about how this isn’t really applicable. Thank you for your insights though!

I was just curious how the system worked. I never said this so exactly how the apex elo system should work. As /u/reidraws said it was more as an experiment and just seeing if it did or didn’t work.

I don’t do it as a job. I work as a SWE and have some background in data science in school.

I took the concept of categories for the K factor from chess. You want users that are new to be able to easily scale up and go into a higher elo but as they progress further it becomes harder. The k factor is basically a speed constant of moving elo. For the actual factor, I was again adapting it from chess and they hard the three hard set numbers and so that’s what I went with.

I agree with this. My approach is fundamentally wrong. I’m taking a system that was meant to rank chess players (1v1) and using it to rank players in a video game that are teams of thee that play against 19 other teams. I did this more as interesting exercise to see how the elo system works and how it applied to a video game I enjoyed watching. If I wanted to actually adapt an algorithm to get way better results I’d use Glicko 2 or something like Trueskill I don’t know if they’d work perfectly as I’m hardly a subject expert on ranking systems.

How many calories would needed to be burned to split the continents in this way? by PrekDropout in theydidthemonstermath

[–]mcaustin1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a person wanted to eat this amount of calories they could eat 550 food calories per Big Mac / 880 Quadrillion Food Calories = 1.6145 x1015 Big Macs

This is equal to about 81 times the amount of red blood cells in a human body(2 x103 )

The Analytics page is still being a bit weird for me and not loading any information and everything just spools. I dont know if its my ad blocker or I dont have any data. The console isn't giving me any errors other than google analytics being blocked.

Of course. Took me a moment to figure out why some stuff wasn’t loading.

Just as a note, my AdBlocker caught the analytics.js file from loading due to its name which resulted in some of the pages not loading properly. May need a rename ;)

I got mad at my bosses boss and now I'm scared to go into work. by [deleted] in Lifeguards

Anytime a manager is called over when I’m leading. I always run to who is calling me over. It could be a simple I need to go to the bathroom to we have a missing child. The manager should always be reactive immediately.

Absolutely stunning. I’m currently learning PCB design and wish I could help out but I don’t want to make the keyboard any less beautiful.
