codegladiator··on Zoom corrects usage numbers: says it has 300M daily meeting participants
> Quality being bad, people not understanding the interface

Honestly hearing this complain about zoom for the first time. I have never seen anyone complain about quality of meet or the interface (more than a 100 people from different teams).

codegladiator··on My Love and Hate Relationship with Hackathons
His points in "What I don’t like about Hackathons" are frankly why I like hackathons (time constraint, a lot of people in same mindset, a lot of socializing)

I really miss the yahoo openhack.

codegladiator··on Shell Productivity Tips and Tricks
You can use ctrl+r for commands which are similar (say ssh to n number of servers, so the up/down would still take some amount of browsing the options)

Just tag commands with a # at the end

> $ complex command here # tagHere

Later use the tag with ctrl+r

I do this all the time

> ssh 127.0.0.1 # master

That's a nice explanation.

Tennis would also have some part of mind games right ? The more I think about it, obviously it definitely is a matter of body excellence, but if you can always predict where your opponent going to hit, wouldn't that be a sure win (considering the players equal in matter of body)?

I don't see any "reaction time" available in RPS (considering equal in matter of body), and no way to predict the choice of the other one (as you stated) so similar to coin toss (you can't influence the choice of the opponent).

Poker also gives you some amount of time to "react" to what others did. So I am still seeing RPS heavily biased towards luck.

Oh wow that's news to me, I had no idea there was a world competition for this ! Guess i'll have to edit my other comment now :-/

edit: wait something looks odd at http://www.worldrps.com/ , is it really an internationally recognized competition ?

codegladiator··on 500K bet on rock paper scissors ruled invalid by Quebec court
I can insist that there is skill in coin toss too.

I think what we want to look at is how much luck/skill percent is there. If tennis was luck overpowering skill, it wouldn't be an international sport in my opinion.

So rock paper scissors is 90% luck + 10% skill. A kid can potentially beat a professional rock player. Same is not the case for tennis.

> the sense of observation or the putting in place of a strategic sequence

The court can ask him to defeat 10 other people in that game consistently to prove that ? But then he could argue the others were also skilled ?

codegladiator··on R 4.0
Frankly my reply was just rhetoric, and I don't like the suggestion of explaining the base of things in release notes. If someone is interested enough they would care to look it up. Those who are not interested would skip the notes anyways.

Release notes are usually for people who are already using it.

> For example here's a release announcement I wrote recently: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-February/msg....

Request to please start release announcements by saying what really a "Network Block Device (NBD) server" is. Don't assume that people are familiar with every possible piece of software already.

> most people don't learn with time

I think this is correct. The curve flattens with age (in my opinion).

> you saw a few exception

I think the seniors you met (the knowledgeable ones) /were/ the exceptions. Most seniors I have seen have convinced themselves that they know all there is to know.

> You need to set it ahead, not behind

Yeah I actually realized that mistake some 30 mins after posting that I think but then left it like just wondering who will notice that :p

codegladiator··on Kick the Shit Out of Procrastination
Not sure what you are trying to say here. Do you mean "because we don't know why people are getting late so dismissing a solution which I know doesn't work seems wrong" ? But you do being the reply with "sure" so was that an agreement ?
codegladiator··on Kick the Shit Out of Procrastination
Its like the advice "set your watch 10 mins behind" so you always reach on time. No shit I know its 10 mins behind every time I see the watch.

edit: wasn't this a "reverse geocoding api" 5 days ago, and something else 6 days ago ?
