Most friction will be from the sides of the blade rubbing against the kerf. I believe it's just about concentrating force onto those teeth (which are essentially knives on crosscut saws, alongside chip clearing teeth).
This way the weight of the saw and therefore the cutting force will always be concentrated on a small number if teeth, which are able to slice deeper thanks to the extra force. Remember that when crosscutting you need to slice wood fibers. Rather than shear them as you do when ripping.
Thanks. To clarify, my server would have to do this? I don't run my own server, I just joined a fairly small one (I didn't know it would matter).
If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn't have edits wipe out the original data. It's certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.
I'd probably chuck them into the drill press and take a rasp to them. You could get it consistent by using a consistent technique, and checking them against a gauge (e.g. cut a profile in a piece of cardboard).
As for 1. I'm told they're getting rid of websockets in the next release, which should mean this annoying behavior goes away as well.
Well at your level you just need to be learning movements naturally. I.e. keep going climbing. Climb as often as you can while still recovering properly between sessions. My advice for learning basic technique is to watch better climbers climb, ask them to show you how THEY do a boulder that's at the top end of your ability, and try to mimic them. Work on making your V2s feel effortless. Don't just move on and forget a boulder after you top it the first time.
When you DO finish a V3 you're going to be sitting at that grade for probably a lot longer than you sat at V2s, and longer still when you're at V4, so... uh... get used to that is my advice. How quickly you can progress depends a lot on your body composition coming into the sport as well as how often you train (with proper recovery). Stop focusing so much on reaching the next grade, start practicing the basics, and the grades will come naturally. You MIGHT be able to get away with sending the odd juggy V3, but you're never getting anywhere without basic technique, which only comes from a lots of practice.
Edit -- by the way. Usually when people talk about plateauing at a grade... they mean they've been stuck there for years, not weeks. Yes, beginner gains are much faster but a few weeks is nothing, your body is just starting to think about maybe making muscle and tendon adaptations for climbing... with the all-important tendons being much slower to adapt than muscles.
Holy shit, that's terrifying. Caught at really the last possible moment.
There's tons of resources on YouTube discussing it, check out Hooper's Beta and Lattice videos on the subject.
My condensed takeaway for you would be something like: absolutely DO start hangboarding, but take it easy to start and build slowly rather than trying for big gains from day one.
Warm up gently, and when you're getting started, don't go past what feels like 80% max. Build to 100% over several sessions and only then start pushing your max. Personally I've been training about as long as you and I do hangboard, but I have already given myself a minor injury (lumbrical sprain) by going too hard in a relatively untrained grip (3 finger drag) without sufficient warmup.
Another thing you hear is to do your max hang sessions when you're fresh, and start out with relatively few sessions per week -- maybe 2 sessions, on days that you're feeling good, BEFORE you hit the climbing gym.
I'd imagine your best bet is reading through the w3c spec if you want protocol details. I think reading it directly is probably approachable enough for a CS student and should be a good exercise.
I agree with you. Golang is a useful symbol for things like a community ID, but the human readable name is "Go Programming Language".
