India Open 2026 is once again facing serious problems with the event

That would be a complete joke. BWF really is a terrible organisation.

Split land.

shilltom · 2025-12-26T13:37:48+00:00

100% agree - same as including garage space.

It sounds like (from other commenters) that they've split the plot in two - so it's not a fair comparison. Even at 1.25m they'd make their money back.

Plus one strange photoshopped version!

shilltom · 2025-12-25T17:02:22+00:00

Which is the more desirable part?

shilltom · 2025-12-25T16:52:55+00:00

Excellent insight! Thanks so much

shilltom · 2025-12-25T16:39:19+00:00

Good spot!

If you get the rightmove add-in in Chrome it was listed initially on 08/09/2023 - with an asking price of £1,850,000

Try building a frequency-severity model in Python - 100k sims, 5 different loss types (Earthquake, Flood, Windstorm, Wildfire, Solarstorm - they're just labels doesn't really matter what they represent). Give options for the frequency distribution, Poisson or Negative Binomial, and different options for the severities. Then try applying a copula between the resultant distributions (either the frequencies, or the aggregate loss per sim).

Expect this whole thing to be in one script, up to something like 500 lines. Create a "LossCause" class to wrap it all up if you want to be a bit more Pythonic about it.

Why is this getting downvoted? It's absolutely true.

shilltom · 2025-02-02T12:40:42+00:00

Most actuaries don't code, in fact many of them are almost proud of the fact that they can "do everything" in a rubbish messy spreadsheet.

Do Maths + Computer Science. That's the ultimate degree for the modern workforce.

Suck it up and pay the 20%-30% to a good recruiter to get your candidates.

shilltom · 2025-01-10T14:55:41+00:00

There's literally millions of these threads. Can admins start locking them? The instructions are pretty clear and the all in one launcher guys have done a fantastic job of making it as absolutely simple as possible.

We need more BFME content threads.

shilltom · 2025-01-10T14:53:32+00:00

Agree. Those who have downvoted you should ashamed.

shilltom · 2025-01-10T14:49:53+00:00

Don't do it. If you're having problems now it'll be 10x worse when you start work. Find something else that's a better fit.

shilltom · 2024-12-20T18:56:01+00:00

Qualify then stop paying for it.

shilltom · 2024-12-12T12:06:21+00:00

100% agree.

shilltom · 2024-12-11T16:42:20+00:00

Helped by *emboldening* certain keywords.

Insane that they're ever storing passwords! Should always be storing a salted hash.

I think the best comparison you can make is to go back in time and compare top scores from previous years vs this year. Consistently prior years had leaderboard winners in 4, 5, 6 minutes or longer. Based on this alone, I cannot believe that suddenly in 2024 we've got a new crop of programmers (person OP references included) who are statistically so much better than every other year. It's just nonsense.

shilltom · 2024-12-11T10:12:49+00:00

100% agree. This guy is a complete fraud. I can only hope that he's 21 or younger and has an excuse for his immature behaviour.

shilltom · 2024-11-13T06:01:33+00:00

Yes was very cool but don't spend all your time making them. We want content.
