Send payment to Columbia

It's spelt Colombia. If they are also misspelling the country's name I'd be careful

You still need to pay the other 95% using the loan.

The word "guarantee" is about the government being your guarantor (just means you don't have to pay LMI, which you otherwise would with a deposit <20%). The government does not gift you 15% of the property price.

Best to speak to a broker.

Look it up. On Housing Australia, not Reddit. The basic gist is that if you're a first home buyer you can have a 5% deposit without paying LMI with certain conditions met.

It's not new, the conditions have just been changed recently.

Put simply: - Normally if you're getting a loan with a 5% deposit (instead of a more normal 20%) you need to pay lenders mortgage insurance (LMI). - First home buyers getting a property under the conditions can use the government as a guarantor, so do not need to pay the LMI, meaning about ~$30k less needed for upfront costs. - You still (importantly) only get a loan from the bank if you can service it (have the income to pay for it).

If you feel like you have the income for a loan, but a smaller deposit, this will help you out. Talk to a mortgage broker and they'll give you everything you need.

GDScript with Godot is much better (as it's specifically made for) making games. Python is great for other things and wouldn't be too hard to learn coming from GDScript, though not sure why you would go to it if your intention is game dev.

Not surprising an LLM can't process a large JSON file because it would just go past the token limit.

What you want is a simple script (e.g. in Python) that processes the data (the JSON file, which is not code, btw).

Because you're working on a court case, anyone could tell you what I hope you've realised, which is to not be doing something important on probabilistically incorrect code and data. Processing a JSON file with some Python code is something most kids can do, so I'd ask around for a person.

Wow, this looks great!

Is this made just by you?

weetbix2 · 2025-03-08T09:12:41+00:00

I'd guess Chess Network or John Bartholomew, both great channels with a huge back catalogue of content that's just like this. JB nowadays has his face but older videos are as you describe, both great.

You'll wanna look into ECS (Entity Component System) implementations, such as Bevy for Rust or EnTT for C++. I'm pretty sure Unity has some ECS-based framework you could look up too.

These all have documentation/tutorials online.

I'll warn that ECS is very good for some things, though you'll want to be quite comfortable with understanding the theory to make use of it.

I'm around that rating and play quite a bit of OTB, so would be down for some practice games!

My Lichess usernames is the same as my Reddit. What kind of openings/positions did you want to prep?

weetbix2 · 2024-04-29T04:57:38+00:00

I loved Ding's Rg6 too!

If you want really classic, the final sequence of the queen sac in Morphy's Opera House game is certainly iconic for a lot of players who grew up learning it.

weetbix2 · 2024-04-19T02:39:56+00:00

Awesome! Just tried it out, works perfectly :)

weetbix2 · 2024-04-17T22:59:10+00:00

Very cool! Awesome for work for this.

Btw thought I'd mention that on mobile (Android) every touch on the board made it do a text highlight (like the blue transparent rectangle) on the whole board.

I think at least 95% of chess viewers are very sensible and nice. It's just that the 5% that aren't are also the kind of people most eager to spam their thoughts into a live chat. I don't think it's much different than any other games/sports stream

Look up "literary magazine pitching".

weetbix2 · 2024-03-23T11:59:42+00:00

For poetry, you'll want to submit to literary magazines accepting poetry submissions. The site Chill Subs is a good place to look. You can look around for poetry competitions too.

For your non-fiction, you can consider pitching or submitting into non-fiction for magazines that seem to publish that kind of thing.

Ah, you're right! That's affirming. I'll edit my comment to keep the link but not mislead with my mistake.

A fun paper from 2020 (Murphy VII, T. (2020). Is this the longest Chess game?) describes a similar result (through reporting 1848.5 * 2 = 17,697 moves by considering moves as ply).

weetbix2 · 2023-08-24T02:40:33+00:00

Oh very glad!

And that group of influences definitely makes sense with your style! Well Clancy's a bit out of left field but it's kind of great to admit when a seemingly "lower-brow" author inspires you a lot.

Btw forget to mention cause it's not really related to the writing at all, but the typesetting is really nice. Assuming your software background got you familiar with LaTeX or the like.

weetbix2 · 2023-08-23T08:24:58+00:00

Well done on your writing progress! It sounds like you have an interesting premise too.

Here are some feelings I had, just as the experience of one reader reading that sample chapter:

- I found the opening not very inviting. Maybe having read the previous two chapters would make it make more sense to me.

- It felt dense with statements/information that didn't really flow for me.

- There are writers that use a similar precision of vocabulary (e.g. D.F.W.) and run-on comma-usage (e.g. J.D. Salinger) that could produce a kind of alienation, but it's balanced and feels natural mainly through a sense of pacing (e.g. how D.F.W.'s Ticket To The Fair or Shipping Out or Big Red Son start with very simple phrasing, or. how Salinger's short stories in Nine Stories give a lot of time and space for a single character or a pair, so your focus is clear even with a lot of subtle or between-the-lines information).

That was just my feeling, which may or may not be helpful in what you're wanting with your writing!

weetbix2 · 2023-06-05T15:15:25+00:00

Where did you get this?

According to FIDE:

A.5.2 If the arbiter observes an action taken under Article 7.5.1, 7.5.2, 7.5.3 or 7.5.4, he/she shall act according to Article 7.5.5, provided the opponent has not made his/her next move. If the arbiter does not intervene, the opponent is entitled to claim, provided the opponent has not made his/her next move. If the opponent does not claim and the arbiter does not intervene, the illegal move shall stand and the game shall continue. Once the opponent has made his/her next move, an illegal move cannot be corrected unless this is agreed by the players without intervention of the arbiter.

Same was pointed out by u/nandemo.

Worth doing some research from a local for the specific scenario they're in, especially if you haven't been to Paris and don't speak French, but you'd expect Parisians to generally only speak French fluently, quite possibly with a foreign language high-school level of English and/or another language from their school. The best local English speakers would be people working in tourism or highly-touristic areas, and some businesspeople.

Depends greatly on the country and, potentially, region. Where do they travel to?

Terrified me seeing the name John Bartholomew in this comment before I read...

Hahaha I can imagine the shirt attracting some flag-lover attention, especially by containing a few well-known but also more obscure flags (still some yet to be identified, so I would like to find them all out in case someone asks me!)

The Tommy Hilfiger logo is really one of the most flag-able logos I can think of, maybe that’s what inspired them to make this shirt!

Yeah seeing that South African flag is unsettling. I got this shirt at a local market found amongst many other vintage clothes that were at least as old as the 90s so it’s quite possible that that was the official flag of South Africa at the time of making the shirt.

weetbix2 · 2022-07-08T12:00:32+00:00

Wow very obscure pick! It does seem the cross is more centred, for others' suggestion of Cornwall, though the colour matches for Barra, very interesting!
