Worth noting that Lethwei is still done with cheuk so ONE using these smaller gloves isn't strictly departing from the norm... Not that Lethwei is the golden exemplary sport for preventing head trauma...

I find UFC a bit crass and I've definitely lost interest in it over the years. I prefer ONE which feels a bit more pure. I like how they promote mutual respect between contestants and some of the highlight reels celebrate restraint (lo

The old way was very slow. You don't rock the boat in rd 1 or 2 and the winner is known by rd 5 and the "victor" takes the foot off the pedal to assert dominance. Then there is a somewhat mutual respect and understanding betw

TIL pankration had striking... But they distinguished between that and stand up striking aka pugilism? Though the latter is a Latin word hmm I'd be very uninterested by non head striking martial arts. Martial Arts is a search for truth

Jeez I can kind of overlook PEDs insofar as you're still kind of the one doing the training and the race but sticking a motor into your bike - like what even is the point anymore. Why not bring a gun to an MMA fight while they're

It's inspiring. When I consider how Naoya Inoue fought 11 rounds with a broken orbital socket I am profoundly inspired by the heart he demonstrated and his will to win - his focus and his skill to change strategy mid fight. It's e

It's really hard to call - see how much push back you also get from fighters when the ref calls it too early and so much stakes are on the line. Some extra awareness will hopefully help

Ha I train with Lumpinee winners! Point taken they do hit plenty hard and traditionally were pretty scrawny. I would argue though that their power is attained in spite of their weight and strength disadvantage. Panpayak comes to mind as a c

Compare Anthony Joshua to Tyson Fury and also Usyk. I'm pretty sure the entrenched interests (like Under Armor) were furious when Usyk and before him Ruiz took out AJ. Only one of the three aforementioned boxers are "built like He

I think everyone is made up different. (and our predispositions themselves can change over time) I am at my best when I am at a calorie deficit. I have such clearer focus. It's annoying because I actually want to put on weight (and als

Good answers already one thing to add is that a runner build wouldn't prepare you for kicking power. Technique goes a long way but at the top level every tiny difference adds up and so not only are footballers doing a tonne of sprints,

But wasn't the example in question for a tutorial repl setup for you getting up and running with no config? That seems like a nice user experience for someone who wants to get up and running by just copy pasting a one liner... What pro

What do you hate about it? You can run a project with a library in a repl with a one liner - seems handy. Don't even need to create a file

I'm comparing it to all the other touch keyboards of the time. Sure they were slow to implement swiping which is why I specified early day but the iPhone came out when a lot of touch phones when LG were still trotting out resistive scr

Something I've always reluctantly admired about Apple (as an anti-fan) is their love of details and the work they pour into so many details that people will never notice. My personal favourite is how good the iOS keyboard was ahead of

a) they didn't want to move off RDS b) this is a pretty big hand wave over migrating your persistence store on a moving product and moving engineering teams The coordination alone usually takes months

I couldn't get the context of this response - is this application you read unrelated to the featured article? I just read the article and from what I can tell the Figma team made a somewhat reasonable sounding decision
560.
by djtango 3y ago
So I just read the article - they were on RDS so Citus wasn't an option. They also stated it was too risky to migrate data stores on the timeline they were working within Those all seem like measured engineering decisions AFAICT

I don't have a read on this - do we know that Figma isn't doing difficult stuff that warrants proprietary solutions?

I agree. As a researcher you may have to learn how to carefully dig up skulls, raise rats, handle lasers, remember not to accidentally syringe yourself with viruses etc. Getting cut by Excel seems like part of the job and at least is hopefu

There was this great chart that I wish I could find which kind of explained it well for me. Things we consume have gotten cheaper - flights, electronics. Things related to wealth - assets but also things like education have all gotten more

I'm not that abreast of all the developments in the AI space. What specific class of AI startups do you have in mind here? AI-aaS startups who provide the "infra"?

Thanks for providing your perspective - Why don't we hear about these as often? Is there tech to avoid these air pockets? Was there some kind of negligence involved or should I be more cautious on planes about leaving my loose belongin

I imagine A&E probably can feel like a warzone at times. No doubt there are also other high stakes jobs (being a firefighter?) whom we all rely on so we can enjoy the privilege of not leading such stressful lives. Just like with space e

I recently came back from a road trip in New Zealand - a lot of their countryside has little to no cell coverage. Combined with roaming (which seems to add an additional layer of slowness) and boy did it suck to try to use a lot of the web
