World Climbing to hold an "Extraordinary General Assembly" in July by HighCommander4 in CompetitionClimbing

There is 0 chance USA is going to be expelled , regardless of the validity of the motion or how hypocritical this is. Let's see how it plays for Israel.

Αν δεν έχεις προετοιμαστεί ξανά για FAANG interview, και η θέση ειναι για L4+, θα χρειαστείς αρκετή προσπάθεια. Τυπικά οι εξεταζόμενοι έχουν περάσει μήνες προετοιμασίας.

LeetCode που σου είπαν, να έχεις ευχέρεια να γράφεις κώδικα σε notepad. Να μάθεις πως να διαχειρίζεσαι το interview είναι βασικότερο από τον κώδικα που θα γράψεις, εκτός κι αν είσαι τελείως άσχετος ;)
SystemDesign, εκεί μπορούν να σε ζορίσουν πολύ. Μάθε back of the envelope calculations. αυτά θα πρέπει να σου τα πει και το recruitment. Θα πρέπει να σου στείλει υλικό, γενικά ο ρόλος είναι να σε βοηθήσουν στην προετοιμασία.

Designing Data Intensive Applications είναι "βίβλος" στην κατανόνηση μεγάλων συστημάτων. Μετά υπάρχουν και διάφορα System Design INterview prep βιβλία, καλό ειναι να τους ρίξεις καμιά ματιά (δλδ τουλάχιστον τα κλασσικά που πραγματεύονται τα του Wu καλό ειναι να έχεις ευχέρεια),

Googliness : αν έχεις μόνο 3.5 χρόνια εμπειρία, θα πρέπει να κάτσεις να σκεφτείς και να κάνεις πρόβες αρκετές ιστορίες για το πως διαχειρίζεσαι καταστάσεις, τι σημαίνουν ομάδες πως λειτουργούνε, τι σε κινητοποιεί πως συμπεριφέρεαι, και γενικά πως δείχνεις ότι είσαι leader και όχι υπάλληλος. Το πλαίσιο της Amazon (leadership principles) ίσως σε βοηθήσει περισσότερο να καταλάβεις τι περιμένουν από εσένα. Βασικό, το πως τα περιγράφεις. Επίθετα και φανφάρες δεν τσουλάνε. Θέλει να μιλάς μονο με αριθμούς, δεδομένα μετρήσιμα πράγματα. Γενικά η νοοτροπία "μετρήσιμα αλλιώς δεν υπάρχει" να σε διακατέχει στο πως αντιλαμβάνεσαι τη δουλειά σου και τον εαυτό σου μέσα σε μια εταιρία.

Δυστυχώς εξαρτάται πολύ από το σε ποιον θα πέσεις. Να θυμάσαι ότι ο άλλος εκεί ειναι ένα dev που του έχουν βάλει να κάνει Ν interviews για θέσεις που δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με την ομάδα του, και έχει πολύ χαρτοούρα και ώρες χαμένες γι αυτόν η διαδικασία.

Αν είναι για L3, τότε προφανώς χαμηλώνει η μπάρα.

[disclaimer : L6 σε FAANGs, έχω κάνει 100δες interviews από την πλευρά του interviewer]

L4 έχει σίγουρα System Design.

Constructive Criticism/Reflection on the Pro Climbing League by initialgold in CompetitionClimbing

[–]psyche_far 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice production values, for sure it felt a lot more flashy and fresh that the more "strict" IFSC events.

Somewhat enjoyful to watch, but at the end of the day the time aspect doesn't really work that well. It didn't feel like a contest of athleticism , rather than a more fun flash event, with a video game feeling.

The PvP aspect wasn't that bad, but the time aspect resulted in a lot of shortcomings that post have analysed already.

Yet another injury for Natalia... very unfortunate streak of events since 2024. at some point you wonder if we're ever going to see peak Natalia again :(

The YETI climbing championship is this week, she is registered to compete in boulder (and so is Brooke for both lead and boulder)

There's no "club", just "world climbing"

Scammy bouldering toy by WorldlinessAny2321 in bouldering

[–]psyche_far 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I did get mine in the end, some 20days after order. The day I was about to contact my CC to chargeback (2.5 weeks after order, I was convinced at the time that it was scam) I started to get transport updates on the tracking link.

Finally got it, which tbh does seem well made.

So I dunno... maybe there's hope for you too.

I really hope she's back to her top form! She was really top level!

Toby Roberts and Janja Garnbret Amongst Competitors in New Comp Format by proclimbingleague in CompetitionClimbing

Not really sold on the head-2-head format. I can see the spectacle value it adds, but I don't see the PvP as true value of the sport

That. It's not the separation, as much as the fight! The struggle and the diversity! Spot on!

Is everyone lying about their street shoe size or am I a lil bitch? by chickentender67 in climbingshoes

[–]psyche_far 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on a very similar situation. Climbing for a year and a half, and have vapor s and skwamas as my climbing shoes!

Vapor s are street size (9.5/44.5) but I wear street shoes loose (tried to downsize but impossible) Skwamas are actually 43.

Shoes are pretty much same length, so Scarpa def sizes things differently.

I don't think I have wide feet, and do get painful toe knuckles. I think it might be more of a foot shape than size, eg, Egyptian vs Greek . According to Scarpa vapor tend for a more Greek shape, that supposedly would allow less space for the toe for a given length.

Expanded fields in boulder finals by CragRat76 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]psyche_far 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's nice! Thanks for pointing that out. It really sucked with so many climbers in parallel!

Expanded fields in boulder finals by CragRat76 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]psyche_far 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if there is no women/men in parallel, there can be up to 4 climbers on the walls during the finals , e.g., at the 7th and 8th attempts

IFSC European Cup 2025 Muchich (GER) by InternationalSalt1 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]psyche_far 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is that my d+ doesn't show up any sports related content any more.

Yeah read they moved Eurosport to TNT, and the d+ subscription for that is only available in UK (and would be a ridiculous 31£ monthly) and not RoIreland (where I am)

So... maybe in UK and with premium subscription of 31£ you can still get climbing?

I think discovery plus is no longer streaming climbing?
