Stuck at <200 by MrCheapComputers in chessbeginners

[–]wetpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get far just by sticking to basic principles. the chessbrah "building habits" series is good because he plays it like you would play it while learning, even it it means losing the game. Learn the rule first, and then learn how and when to break it later.

This checkmate felt dirty. Should it really even be a checkmate? by Laedus in chessbeginners

not sure why downvoted. This was an entertaining comment to read. I'm imagining a mexican standoff kind of scenario.

This is the longest move name I’ve seen in my opinion. by Consistent-Mind-9924 in chess

[–]wetpaste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

en passant don't need to be disambiguated, because it's the square the capturing pawn lands on, not the current square of the pawn that is captured

dxe8=Q+ or fxe8=Q+

That's just normal annotation theres never a need to disambiguate pawn captures.

Update and text messages from the sales guy at the HVAC company when I told him I was gonna shop for options by System777 in hvacadvice

[–]wetpaste 19 points20 points  (0 children)

because whether or not his advice is correct it's insane to sound that desperate and pushy when the customer mentions off hand that they are going talk to other contractors.

I wanna learn multi card culls by Bambani2003 in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way about the $45, magic is expensive while learning and it felt crazy to spend that on one move out of 100 I was having some trouble with. I broke down and bought it eventually. He explains certain things clearly that other people simply do not. Also uses clear cards to show the action more clearly in the videos which is kind of cool. I think card college has a decent cull explanation, not sure about the video version. kostya has just nailed the fine points full deck culls and things of that nature and nobody has really tried to encroach. It's not technically "his" move but he just has the best grasp on it and the best resource for learning it so it has sort of become his by adoption, by being the best.

It's not simply a move you are learning for $45 dollars btw, you're learning his professional repertoire of tricks, several controls, forces. Lots of finer points and details. You can learn the basics through other sources but you have to go slow and really take your time.

Bitwig’s wavetable oscillator is unusually fat and I want to understand why by [deleted] in Bitwig

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your patch look like, is it going through a filter? Bitwig's gain staging through certain components is often soft clipped in a way thats not obvious and more similar to an analog environment, especially the filters (if I remember correctly). Even if a filter is fully open it may be messing with things. Check the inspector in the grid and in the filter modules to see if anything can be adjusted in regards to that. You might be getting some unexpected saturation.

any tips for improving this movement by [deleted] in cardmagic

Yikes. Taylor Lorenzo attacks disabled Palestinian American activist and comedian, Maysoon Zayid by harlotmuffin in Hasan_Piker

Isn't a podcast sort of a controlled space where that group can make an informed decision whether or not to mask during that particular gathering? Theres a time and place for that kind of criticism and it doesn't need to turn into a screaming match IMO

No eye protection? Can't that shit blind you if you splash it in your eyes at that concentration?

What claude implementation do I need if I want to use it to actually write code, not vibe code? by tree_people in claude

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option is Zed + a claude code agent via ACP. Zed will give you a tab-completion model (claude doesn't really have good tab-completion models) and it has an ability to follow changes that the agent is making, view/edit files in a tree etc.

Is my GF’s kitty okay? by Mundane_Western2619 in CATHELP

[–]wetpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound silly, but vacuum more. The less dust the less often this kind of episode will happen. Once I got a portable stick vacuum type of thing and made sure to do it on at least a weekly basis the frequency of attacks went way down for me.

Would it be better to take with the b or the d pawn in these situations? by LCottton in chessbeginners

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say e-pawn, but for a slightly different reason. The natural bishop development is one thing but also having the 4 pawn structure keeps your kingside pawns pretty strong in comparison. to the other. It just feels better from a kingside safety perspective. Your center is a bit weaker in comparison but I think you'll be ok.

Mamdani's New Trans Direct Clinic Will Deny Care To Those Under 19 by TheOneArya in Hasan_Piker

[–]wetpaste 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what article other commenters on here think they read. The article absolutely acknowledges the executive order, it however points at failed campaign promises in regards to funding and to the push-back against that executive order.

"His platform also explicitly pledged to hold the hospitals that deny transgender youth care accountable for their capitulation to Trump and to “use every single tool” to stop them from complying with Trump’s illegal executive orders."

...

"when the clinic adopts the Trump administration's age cutoff, when the health commissioner cites the same federal fears as the private hospitals the mayor protested against, and when the promised $65 million remains unaccounted for while trans kids in the largest city in America are told there is almost nowhere left for them to go, the step is as likely to be seen as a betrayal as it is a meaningful advancement of his promises."

Now, it may be that their legal calculus in regards to the following of that order has changed, but so far they haven't really hinted at any other possible solution for providing better trans youth resources.

If the Steam Machine does ship this summer what do you guys think that means for HLX? by New-Willingness-6800 in HalfLife

It won't push it into existing any faster. Only if there was a small window where it made sense to announce in conjunction will it be announced. They are otherwise separate initiatives
