"Unbeatable Poker" Review: Worst Poker Book of 2019?

QRCode

Most poker books are outdated in a solver-era of poker, so I was curious to check out Red Chip Poker coach Ross Glover's "Unbeatable Poker," one of the only books that heavily incorporates GTO poker analysis. However, I was disappointed to find that Glover's approach was more noise than strategy. This video explains why Glover's work is a dead-end rabbit hole, using PIOsolver proofs and detailed strategy discussion that you won't find anywhere else.

The video I quote in the beginning can be found here. Uri is an insanely bright grandmaster of many games.

You’re probably using the wrong dictionary « the jsomers.net blog

QRCode

John McPhee -- almost peerless as a prose stylist -- wrote an essay for the New Yorker about his process called "Draft #4." For him, #4 is the draft after the painstaking labor of creation is done, when all that's left is to punch up the language, to replace shopworn words and phrases with stuff that sings.

The way you do it, is "you draw a box not only around any word that does not seem quite right but also around words that fulfill their assignment but seem to present an opportunity." You go looking for le mot juste.

But somehow for McPhee, the dictionary -- the dictionary! -- was the fount of fine prose, the first place he'd go to filch a phrase, to steal fire from the gods.

Take a simple word, like "flash." In all the dictionaries I've ever known, I would have never looked up that word. I'd've had no reason to -- I already knew what it meant. But go look up "flash" in Webster's (the edition I'm using is the 1913).

The Best Teeth Whitening Kits, According to Dentists

QRCode

Zoom NiteWhite Kit, Set of 3

Nearly all of the dentists we consulted said that getting custom whitening trays—which are often made of hard plastic and molded to the shape of your teeth—from your dentist is the way to go.

Just fill your tray with gel from the syringe and wear it for up to four hours a day. Philips promises results in two weeks.

Font style matcher

QRCode

If you're using a web font, you're bound to see a flash of unstyled text (or FOUC), between the initial render of your websafe font and the webfont that you've chosen. This usually results in a jarring shift in layout, due to sizing discrepancies between the two fonts. To minimize this discrepancy, you can try to match the fallback font and the intended webfont’s x-heights and widths [1]. This tool helps you do exactly that.

Card cheating in texas hold 'em (2p2 COTW)

QRCode

If you'd like to hire me as an emcee or a magician, visit http://www.nick.com.sg

Hi everyone, this video was created with 2p2 in mind. I was glad to be part of the Concept of the week and I'm honoured to head this discussion for the forum that has helped me so much. I'm just glad to return the favour.

This video contains card cheating methods and ways to avoid being cheated in card games. Don't bother trying any of the methods as you will be caught, I promise. It's a lot more difficult that it looks :p

My apologies if the video gets cut off right at the end. 'The Deal' section states that you should always listen for bottom and 2nd deals, use a propor poker table and always be vigilant. Enjoy!

Router Edge Guide: 6 Tips for Perfect Edges| Family Handyman

QRCode

Modern router bits with carbide cutters and guide bearings make forming wood edges almost foolproof. Try this router edge guide for tips.

  • Router bits spin clockwise as you look down on the router, so moving the router counterclockwise tends to pull the pilot bearing tight against the wood and allows easy control of the router. When you’re routing the outside perimeter of a board, move the router counterclockwise. However, when you’re routing the inside of something like a picture frame, move the router in a clockwise direction.

  • Secure Small Work With Hot-Melt Glue

  • Make Moldings With Your Edge Router

Hold Chopsticks like a Pen - Marcosticks

Countless chopstick wrappers advice learners to "hold chopsticks like a pen". Here we explore the correlation between pen grips and chopstick grips.

The book showed two closely-related variants of the tripod grip. For reasons that will be explained later, we will call the above left posture the Caswellian Grip, and the above right posture the Spencerian Grip.

  • We will call it the Lateral Grip here. *

Losing the imitation game

QRCode

AI cannot develop software for you, but that's not going to stop people from trying to make it happen anyway. And that is going to turn all of the easy software development problems into hard problems.

  • A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision.

Programming as Theory Building

Non-trivial software changes over time. The requirements evolve, flaws need to be corrected, the world itself changes and violates assumptions we made in the past, or it just takes longer than one working session to finish. And all the while, that software is running in the real world. All of the design choices taken and not taken throughout development; all of the tradeoffs; all of the assumptions; all of the expected and unexpected situations the software encounters form a hugely complex system that includes both the software itself and the people building it. And that system is continuously changing.

To circle back to AI like ChatGPT, recall what it actually does and doesn't do. It doesn't know things. It doesn't learn, or understand, or reason about things. What it does is probabilistically generate text in response to a prompt.

How to take control of Flexbox

QRCode
  • Flex children are just that: display: block or display: inline don't have any affect once display: flex is defined on the parent.

  • Flexbox is controlled inside --> out: The size of the children affect the size of the parent. Grid is outside --> in: the size of the parent is specified and the children fit inside.

  • Defaults: flexbox by default uses the 'best' size for the children. It doesn't expand them, but it will shrink them if necessary.
    flex-shrink: 1;
    flex-grow: 0;

  • If you have multiple rows and columns, and you want them consistent, grid is the better choice

  • width is the same as flex-basis IF you are using columns

CSS for printing to paper

At work, one of the things I do pretty often is write print generators in HTML to recreate and replace forms that the company has traditionally done handwritten on paper or in Excel. This allows the company to move into new web-based tools where the form is autofilled by URL parameters from our database, while getting the same physical output everyone's familiar with.

This article explains some of the CSS basics that control how your webpages look when printed, and a couple of tips and tricks I've learned that might help you out.

Carl Angel 5 Pencil Sharpener - helical blade

QRCode

Made in Japan with point adjustment:
https://carl-officeproducts.com/products/a-5-royal-pencil-sharpener/

Remove the helical blade from rotor, if you can, by unscrewing the rod that holds it in place. Wear a thick leather glove on one hand. Place 300-400 grit sandpaper strip on hard flat horizontal surface in front of you. Hold one helical blade(cylinder) with long screw through it from the ends between your thumb and middle finger so that blade rotates freely. Lay the helical blade against the sandpaper while holding it. Place two or three fingers of your gloved hand on top of blade to push down against the helical blade. Now pull on helical blade so that it rotates while being pressed down against sandpaper. The blade will bite into the glove and cause it to rotate. Repeat until the blade has rotated a few times. Replace helical blade. I'm sure there are other ways, but that's how I do it.

There is a youtube video of an older man putting the helical blade against a sanding belt. Takes too much metal off.
