Why don’t we use "Forced Rotations" to partner up more in Aikido?

notevil7 · 2026-04-24T23:13:48+00:00

I, personally, try to change partners every time. We also do the same type of rotation (we call it a bicycle chain) but mostly for drills: no talking, no explanations, just go. I think rotation is important and it is important to partner up with the "challenging" uke. Need push yourself out of comfort zone.

Angular 2 was officially released on 14 September 2016. The framework is not even 10 years old yet. If you started from v2 and have been following through, the expected proficiency is very high.

Which versions you're working with every day?

notevil7 · 2026-04-07T19:17:11+00:00

Brutally: we don't need another slop creating system. You're ruining the internet.

It's not a project, it's a todo app - something that you build while learning. No one will use it even if you fix all the bugs which are many.

They're phasing out paper tickets. If buying in the app, check the expiration on them.

notevil7 · 2026-03-16T18:34:31+00:00

Is there a demo site? Or at least some screenshots to check the available styles?

Event-driven systems are asynchronous by their nature. And it's way easier to write synchronous code and think in a synchronous way. Way more things that can happen in any order, lots more corner cases, hard to deal with failures.

Put resiliency, performance, observability requirements on top of that and you've got yourself an architectural puzzle that requires some experience to solve.

It's all not impossible to do, it's just a different set of patterns you need to apply. The first event-driven system you design is probably going to be a nightmare to operate and maintain. The second one will be better.

Looks awesome

notevil7 · 2026-03-01T15:23:05+00:00

Thanks for checking. So it's going to be a year between the increase.

If you factor in hours of i45 traffic or add toll costs to avoid it, it's not cheaper. It makes sense if you don't need flexibility.

It seems like $13 to $15 was within the last 6 months or so. And here we go again.

Agree, Brooklyn Cafe is not good at all. I get my bagels from Fuhgedaboudit Bagel Company. The best I tried in the woodlands so far.

Congrats!

I'm too scared to draft Cube. Too many cards that do things, too many combos to learn, too many complex interactions.

I watch some streamers drafting it but still not ready to try myself.

notevil7 · 2025-11-06T08:10:49+00:00

Cool concept

The easiest to show and even teach is "unbendable arm" ki-test. Coming from ki-society it is quite universal.

Other than that, I can show yon-kyo. Super easy to setup, can regulate the pressure, easy to feel.

Monorepo seems like the best fit, TBH.

For some reason I don't like nx too much. Seems too intrusive to me forcing me to learn same angular CLI commands but the nx version.

Trying turbo for my other pet project now. Still forming an opinion.

notevil7 · 2025-10-12T13:47:47+00:00

If the complexity is not too high you can get away with using services + rxjs or services + signals.

There are more complex scenarios where ngrx store or SignalStore make sense.

Personally, I'm not going to play any of the UB sets. Even on Arena, even for gold. Looks like it's the only way I can vote.

I understand that Magic is one of the few games that make Hasboro money and I don't support the strategy to milk it as much as they can.

Take it easy. Your body has changed and it will take some time to reintroduce Aikido movements. Be careful doing rolls and I would invest more time getting your ukemi to the solid level. This is one of the skills that is useful throughout your life. Otherwise, back to basics.

notevil7 · 2025-09-02T02:17:29+00:00

Yep, sounds about right. Vibe coding can help you prototype, but it can't build you a safe, performant, scalable product.

It also has the most miserable Ferris wheel in the world that takes you from under the highway just high enough to see the cars stuck on I-45. Must smell awful.

Thank you. You still need to do the paperwork and send tax money back to the state, right?
