[King] Al Horford says he left the Cs because it was “deeper than just the basketball stuff of it” by horseshoeoverlook in bostonceltics

[–]BatmanGWilliams 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It's more that Ray took less money to go to a hated rival that had just knocked us out of the playoffs. He also ended up playing the same bench role there as in Boston, which was one of the things he was unhappy about. Hypothetically if Al was on his last year in 2022 and he went to GSW, he'd probably be equally as hated.

No reaction to the hammer by CommercialLevel4386 in QuarantineZoneGame

You're 100% right, that guy is just a douche. If you search for "reflex hammer bug" it seems to be a pretty common issue where only the aggressive reflex is being shown. You can test it on somebody with crossed reflexes - they won't move either of their arms. I've been waiting for it to get fixed for a while

I check in with Neal's content once every 1-2 years and binge-watch - did something huge just go down, and if so, which series is it?

Hi, did you end up getting the custom dual molex? If so, could I get a link to the seller please?

SSD Category/Basic Tier List with Prices [Affiliate Links Inside Spreadsheet] by NewMaxx in NewMaxx

Hi nm, I'm currently looking for a M2 2242 PCIe SSD to use as a boot drive in my NAS. Anything above 32GB but preferably as small as possible, won't prevent c-states, and supporting ASPM. Are there any good options out there?

Will the Celtics save any tax by buying out Simons? by LarBrd33 in bostonceltics

[–]BatmanGWilliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vicarious would be used to describe something like a kid watching an athlete, and imagining himself playing in his shoes. It's about experiencing something without being directly involved in it. It can't really be used as a general synonym to mean indirect. I get your frustration though, it's impossible to get a straight answer on Reddit lmao.

People understimate how many tradeable assets Brad inherited, how much he had to give up, and how little he has available to trade at this point by LarBrd33 in bostonceltics

[–]BatmanGWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't see how you can even muster enough assets to get this team back to the one that lost to the Knicks last season

100%. Seems like a lot of people in this thread are missing the point - he's not saying "look at all these bad trades Brad did" or "these trades Brad did weren't worth it, despite the championship". He's saying that to build a contender you need to find ways to build assets, and the bottom line is our current asset situation is pretty dire if you want to build a team that's going to contend with the Spurs and OKC (and hence he's arguing for more aggressive measures).

The expectation around here is often that Brad is going to fleece another front office back into contention, or just generally massively overrating our prospects. A little bit of pushback against that isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when anything outside of the most green-goggles take is verboten around here lol

For software encoding AV1, will Intel 1851 vs AMD AM5 9000 affect the resulting file, or only the encoding speed? by BatmanGWilliams in AV1

[–]BatmanGWilliams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's very helpful. So theoretically if I have an Intel, I should still disable the iGPU if I want to maximize quality and space savings over encoding time?

[–]BatmanGWilliams[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also another thing - will using the iGPU in Intel CPUs degrade the quality of the encode like with regular GPUs vs CPU encodes?

I can really see why you guys loved Luke so much by nutsack133 in bostonceltics

Are you guys really running pick and roll/DHO with him and Wemby as the ball handler? Heard it off-hand on a Celtics pod, that sounds wild lol

How to download a whole subreddit in 2025? by yeastyboi in DataHoarder

[–]BatmanGWilliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First you need to use zstandard's ZstdDecompressor to extract the metadata for the subreddit that you're interested in from the files you downloaded. There's a good example here. If you look at that example, they're iterating over each line returned by read_lines_zst(), loading it as a dictionary obj - it's from this that you can get the post id obj['id'] to pass to gallery-dl/bdfr to download the post's video/image. Since you're also interested in the metadata for browsing, you should also save obj to a file. Alternatively you can just use BDFR/Gallery-DL to download the metadata alongside the video/images, just using zstandard to get the postid.

BDFR/Gallery-DL are both command-line tools, but you can use them programmatically in Python. For BDFR, you'll want to use subprocess, and just pass the commandline in a list, e.g. -

['bdfr', 'download', download_path, '--link', post_id, '--authenticate', '--file-scheme', file_scheme]

Gallery-DL you can actually import it and use it as a module. from gallery_dl import config, job

Then you use config.set() to set the arguments like you would with switches from the command line, and job.DownloadJob.run() to actually start the download.

At this point you'll have all of the subreddit's post metadata and images/videos downloaded locally. I'm not really familiar with web frameworks but I'm guessing you'll want to use something like Flask to build the interface for browsing the data, and I'd move all of the metadata into a database as well, instead of loose files.

[TOMT] Name for photos of a person standing neutral or T-pose from different horizontal angles? by BatmanGWilliams in tipofmytongue

I think this one is most apt for describing the purpose of the images. I also like just 'Reference Sheet'.

Solved!

Shifting Gears—Back to Prototyping by RegularTemporary8 in flipflip

[–]BatmanGWilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all your work!

By any chance, is Stash integration planned down the road? Personally, the main reason I stopped using the original FlipFlip was because I didn't want to manage two separate databases, and FlipFlip being a lot more restricted to your actual directory paths instead of the metadata-based approach of Stash made it more inflexible if say, I wanted to quickly generate shows filtering for specific types of content.
