@gressli Det viser seg at Magnus vinner omtrent så ofte som ratingen tilsier. Hvem skulle ha trodd!

Kritikerne av Magnus Carlsen sier at han bare beholder ratingen sin fordi han ikke spiller. Og så stiller han i en turnering og går opp 1 poeng. Blir morsomt med Norway Chess på hjemmebane i Oslo om to uker med en Carlsen som har spilt seg varm i Sverige!

Trying to remember the last time Carlsen played a classical (OTB) tournament in Oslo (team games excluded). I think we have to go back to 2003, unless we consider the playoff for the title of Norwegian Champion in 2006. (CC @gressli)

@OlaWikander I’m quite partial to Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation «Bro!» myself.

@torbae Blir det avgjort på kvalitet ved poenglikhet, eller omspill?

Siste runde i NM langsjakk starter kl 10. Kvaløy jakter ny kongepokal og kvalik til VM i romjula. Hammer ligger best an med noe enklere motstand i siste runde.

i just learned that people who play the london have no inner monologue and are not really human in a technical sense, or even alive

@shadowcat_mst My least favourite part of Python by far is the naming and binding model. Also, it’s hilarious how «explicit is better than implicit» also has implicit variable declarations of all things.
English
I think perl's greatest achievement is that 'my' was pretty directly copied into JS as 'let' - block scoping + explicit declaration + decent closures ftw.
I still can't write python comfortably because its coarse grained and horrifically implicit scoping model hurts my brain.
Ben Tilly@BenTilly4
@shadowcat_mst In its favor, Perl was the language that set the standard for what features future scripting languages would have. Scalars, arrays, and hashes (aka dictionaries). With regular expressions available. But context wasn't a good idea. It was used very inconsistently.

@ChristinGorman Another thing I think is good about the Norwegian system is that there are no out of order elections: if a government falls to a vote of no confidence, you’re still stuck with the same parliament, so the no confidence majority is then basically stuck with forming a new one.
English
I love the Norwegian political system more and more. 8 parties in congress. Coalition government. We have a popular opportunistic right wing party as well. But we also have parties with pretty similar economic policies, just without the racism, climate denial and so on.

the problem is that Norway Chess are Doing Stuff and this must be aggressively opposed by the people who Do Nothing
Women's Chess Coverage@OnTheQueenside
To all the people complaining about Norway Chess not being a mixed event, cut it out. We need more mixed events, but we also need better women's tournaments. Norway did more with their super-tournament in 1 try than FIDE has ever done in 15 years w/ theirs. #chess #womeninchess

@fasterthanlime Unrelated, but I am reminded of my all time favourite Smalltalk method, Object>>become: which lets you in place replace all references to an object with some other random object. If you did it on a small int on the old ST I learned it in the interpreter would SEGV. Good times.

@ChristinGorman Another similarity with the act of programming itself is that they’re both practical skills. You can read yourself better at the practical parts, you have to go out and actually do it (and fail lots) to improve.

I've played way too much chess lately.
Haven't bothered with lessons or watching pros play, I just play the game. So my progress is slower than it could be. But playing - and losing - is necessary to get better.
And a link to software development just came to me.

@krikkert Når jeg jobba med BL snakka vi om at vi egentlig hadde en port fra programmeringsspråket «norsk juss» til Smalltalk av (~halve) straffeprosessloven og noen andre lover.

Klarspråk er viktig, men balansegangen mellom klarspråk og entydighet er aldri lett.

the main consequence for cheating at chess is that people will, in the future, think you are still cheating
this is easily avoided by “not cheating” and people should learn this as young as possible

Weird idea but if it turns out to be economically viable I don't see why not.

@DoremusSchafer Det kan man nok si, men jeg mistenker at denne typen opplegg er mye, mye vanligere enn man kunne tro. Ressurssituasjonen i både politiet og kriminalomsorgen er nok så stram at denne type en til en tiltak har utrolig høy terskel.

@forsberg Spør du ikke får du ikke, er det vel noe som heter. Men jeg hadde vel ikke vurdert det som enormt sannsynlig at de får det som de vil, sånn i utgangspunktet? Handler vel uansett mest om å markere standpunkt før det uunngåelige resultatet.
