I've got a half marathon on week 8 which I plan to race close to all-out, which will help me re-calibrate my marathon goal pace. Week 8 is supposed to include a 32 km long run, which I understand is one of the most important sessions.

My current plan is to switch the Thursday LT session into a GA session, and then tack on additional kms after the race to get up to 32 km on the day. Seeking advice on whether this plan is sensible, or if there are other adjustments that should be made?

I'm currently following Hal Higdon's Advanced 5k training plan (https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/5k-training/advanced-5k/) which is scheduled to finish end of October for a 5k race.

My next race will be moving up to the 10k distance for a race mid February, and I had been planning on following Hal Higdon's 8-week 10k advanced plan leading up to this event (meaning this plan would begin at the end of January).

My question: what is the best way to bridge the 3-month gap between my 5k race at the end of October and the start of this training plan, in order to maintain or even build finish before starting the plan? Would I benefit from a longer 10k plan given the amount of time I ha

Stockfish says it leaves the pawn undefended, but isn't it M1 if black takes the bait?

I'm going for the platinum in 2k23 (ridiculous, I know). The two trophies in the title are online and I don't have any friends who play this game, and W Online is dead AF. Anyone else going for these trophies?

Big disclaimer: I'm absolute hot dog water at this game

My PC has been shutting off while gaming. I determined that this is due to CPU hitting temperatures > 105c. I installed HWMonitor to check the fans and pump are all operating correctly, and it all looks good I think. Could this be an issue with the liquid cooler?

Is there a concert or something? I would have guessed everything is cancelled

I’ve looked into a number of different AWS services that can massively distribute parts of a large data set to many machines for computation. So far I have looked into Lambdas, Elastic MapReduce, and just managing EC2 instanced on my own.

Managing my own instances is not appealing as I do not want to incur the development costs of handling faulty instances, retrying, etc. Lambdas initially appeared promising but the size of my problem is too large, so that’s a no-go. EMR looks like the way to go, but I’ve heard mixed things about Hadoop MapReduce (main criticisms being its slow and hard to program).

I want to understand what the industry standard service is for my use case. For context, I

I'm home in my apartment on Seymour and hearing ridiculously loud cheering, sounds like it's from Granville. Is there some kind of event tonight? It doesn't bother me but like, what gives.

Background: I work at a private investment management firm on a quantitative equity team. One of the firm's private capital affiliates posted a job opening today for a (non-finance) related position that is perfectly suited for my wife, and she agrees. I know nepotism is usually frowned upon, however there are married couples working at this firm (some even on close teams).

What is the best way to introduce the recruiter to my wife? I am considering sending an email to HR and cc'ing her personal email with CV attached. Are there any drawbacks to doing this? Better ways to go about it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm a sinner. Moved to Vancouver a few months ago for a job, and with hockey season starting up again I'd like to find some decent pubs that will be broadcasting Leafs games. Anyone know of any spots?

Asking because I'm finishing my last term of undergrad now, and will be starting my career right away (earlier than I had originally planned). As such, it would make much more sense to delay my level 1 exam until December.
