• I want to create IMDB for Open source projects

  I'm not sure how much value making something "not fugly" really matters. Design should be based on functionality, not anti-fugliness. In my experience, design considerations should come after building a successful growth "feedback loop." (Or whatever you want to call it.) At that point, you may decide making your website look "polished" isn't even necessary. IMDB was certainly quite ugly for a long time.... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• For a few times I’ve seen comments that this fanbase is small. How/why?

  On Archive Of Our Own , the theme for International Fanworks Day 2021 was fandoms/relationships that aren't well represented on the site. Based on an idea I'd had going back to 1992, I picked Mariah Carey and wrote this story. There are only 11 stories/works) about or involving Mariah on the site.

• So bad at chess that it’s genuinely upsetting at this point, I need some hope

  If you want to improve make it your goal to play the best chess you can, not increase an arbitrary number. Watch YouTube series like John Bartholomew's "Climb the Rating Ladder" for some general insight into what you might be doing wrong. Read Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess: Move By Move" to see the thinking process of high level players. Do lots of puzzles (I like lichess.org for puzzles). And always analyze... Source: 6 months ago

• Humans vs. Stockfish’s eval function

  The easiest way to play against Stockfish is perhaps on https://lichess.org/, but it's not the only chess engine that evaluates positions with a neural network. Source: 6 months ago
