TL;DR I used Monte-Carlo simulations + Elo-based win probability estimation to find the probability of Hikaru and other top players scoring very long win streaks (e.g. 55+ consecut…

I love Bevy, but I feel like it's still more of a Game Development Library rather than an engine. Godot, on the other hand, looks very nice in terms of user experience: great edito…

Yeah, I've seen those and I'm happy Godot moves in this direction, but using these tools would steer me away from the "default" and "primary" behavior, I'd potentially face more bu…

Godot is just AWESOME, I am very impressed with the progress the team makes and the overall direction of the project. I was always excited about Game Dev (even started learning Com…

I collected a large number of awesome resources for myself: https://github.com/kirillbobyrev/computer-science-resources

> Latex is "typesetting-complete". This language is not, so it's not a replacement. Based the documentation (and the title), it isn't meant to be _a replacement_, but rather _an al…

This looks cool! I understand that, just like any tool that has sufficiently many users, (La)TeX grew exponentially in terms of the number of features it has. I like the its core, …

That would be 3 trillion, which is really hard to envision.

I worked in Germany for a while and one of such unions was built at my company. I can't think of a single good thing they did and I remember plenty of ways they made the life of em…

This is exciting! I see a lot of familiar pieces here that propagated from Google's Code Search and I know few people from Code Search went to GitHub, probably specifically to work…

I've seen this before and there are great courses, but most of them cover the basics. What I tried to find for myself is a bunch of in-depth courses that cover the areas where I'm …

The problem is that there is nowhere near as many SWE jobs in other states as in Bay Area. I just moved to the Bay from Munich and I miss Germany a lot, but the career opportunitie…

Fair enough, but IMO one of the selling points of Helix is sensible defaults (kind of what Neovim was to Vim), so I'm quite torn on on that: modifying (Neo)Vim config all the time …

I’m really impressed by Helix and would love to use it, but re-wiring Vim muscle memory developed over a decade or using it feels such a pain. The problem is also not even that if …

Where _would_ you encourage people to go for similar purpose with higher quality? Are there any particular bootcamps/online schools you think are good? Some of my friends and famil…

I love Rust, but being the most favorite language and being an essential language to know in some sense (read, write, understand) are two different things. C is primitive and painf…

Failing to come up with any statement while making awkward allegations in this manner is hardly cool, I think. Especially in the position Magnus is in.

Thanks a lot for posting it! I wanted to blog for quite a while but am too lazy to finish some basic blog setup with my "own theme". Bear looked great and I was upset none of the H…

Yes, I was doing that at some point. But then the problem is that - I work (or rather workED until a month ago) on LSP implementation for C++ (clangd) and I frequently need updates…

After almost 10 years of tinkering with Vim and fixing it every time a random extension updates and breaks my whole setup, that would be exactly something I want.

Not saying that there isn't room for improvement but I wouldn't call the Python error messages "cryptic". C++, on the other hand...

I've spent so much time on configuring my (Neo)vim over the years I wouldn't even be able to estimate it (here it is if you're curious: https://github.com/kirillbobyrev/dotfiles/tr…

Are you saying that the employers won't give 170k+ if the disclosed max range is 170k? I highly doubt that, the only change here is that the range that was previously only visible …

Oh, is there any new information regarding that? The one ~9 months ago was a speculation that was later denied by the developers ( https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/p…
