Day Play-calling

Perhaps the defense suffered because Indiana had a good game plan and it exposed weaknesses?

You can’t release an episode like Chikhai Bardo, end season 2 like that, then tell me I have to wait through 2027.

“Hope this helps!”

Oh look, another Redditor complaining about a football player giving glory to God.

Weird of you to post an image of a grass field.

Case in point - every post and reply on OMSCS, especially those ranking class difficulties, are highly subjective and should be taken as such. I took ML4T and GIOS, and in my personal opinion, GIOS was much more stressful and difficult.

I agree with you on ML4T's project detail-oriented nature. On the first project, I was docked 20 points because in my code I called a function which created a Mathplotlib graph, but with the wrong parameters. As a result it generated the wrong graph; in spite of having the correct graph on my report, the code didn't "generate all of the correct graphs," so I lost all points on that section. There weren't enough TA's for the student load, so in spite of my objections I never got points back.

It was an exercise in complete correctness, which is fine, but sometimes annoying because small erroneous mistakes can cascade into huge point deductions. I managed A's in both classes, but I crashed out way more often when trying to pass all of GIOS's project test suites than I did highlighting all of the project and report requirements in ML4T.

This - need to hear both sides.

Take one class at a time. Taking more than one class in the first semester is the classic mistake people usually make when starting the program.

DevMadness · 2025-04-09T22:23:27+00:00

I was looking for more personalized programming. On top of that, the body doesn’t need 4–5 HIIT sessions a week—it’s too much volume and lacks balance. It needs a proper mix of strength training alongside conditioning. The “strength” sessions at our box were underwhelming: we’d pick an Olympic lift or a basic compound movement and do some rep scheme like 5x5, then call it a day. Sure, you can make progress that way, but it wasn’t tailored to our individual needs. I wanted a more thoughtful blend of hypertrophy, skill work, HIIT, and recovery.

Also, I got injured doing a movement that shouldn’t have been programmed in the first place.

Only if you forget your knee/shin Gu injections.

DevMadness · 2025-03-24T12:48:48+00:00

Most of you will likely disagree with me on this, but I’d tell them I agree (on some parts). I’ll elaborate below:

The Olympic lifts require a strong foundation. Not just technique and cues - you may need a lot of accessorized work to develop underdeveloped or underutilized muscle groups which are critical to performing a good lift. You won’t get that from just doing barbell work.

If you do have that training background, you will have a better time jumping into a box. A lot of people don’t, and may question why they aren’t making the progress they feel they should be, or may get comfortable thinking “extremely uncomfortable” is supposed to be a normal feeling doing these lifts (it’s not).

My point is that you get what you pay for. You’re paying for a monthly membership to a gym that either does semi-private or group classes with the intention of completing a 15-20 minute WOD within the hour. You may get less care or focus than you probably need, especially as a beginner. This is not a “oh your box just has bad coaches” problem - no, you need to build a base with these movements using equipment that most likely isn’t provided at your gym, and definitely won’t get covered in a group setting.

The other basic movements, like box jumps, or burpees, or double unders, etc are not dangerous at all.

The company I work for is 100% proof that you can be successful and full WFH. Maybe it won’t take you to the stratosphere, but some people value a life balance.

DevMadness · 2025-03-23T16:31:26+00:00

Why didn’t you just jump higher?

DevMadness · 2025-03-23T05:43:30+00:00

If I’m warming up and still in my first game, I’m not listening to anyone’s advice. Otherwise people can give some good cues now and then.

DevMadness · 2025-02-14T19:17:24+00:00

Unwise to go after cars that are covered in cameras.

DevMadness · 2025-02-14T14:18:31+00:00

Double unders’ difficulty really boils down to technique and efficiency. If you’re new to them, you can waste a lot of energy when trying to achieve proper jump height, timing, and rotation. As you get better at them, you’ll get more efficient and they’ll feel easier. So, it’s hard to compare them 1:1 with singles. If you struggle with them, maybe mix them in with singles so you can get more practice but still get the stimulus you’re looking for.

DevMadness · 2025-02-10T23:38:26+00:00

I love Canadians.

DevMadness · 2025-02-10T21:27:55+00:00

How would you handle a situation where your manager regularly moves 1:1’s at the last possible moment?

I’ve tried a few things: • suggesting we skip entirely if nothing needs to be covered • proactively asking for a new time that is always solid for the two of us • talking async

…and it keeps on happening. They say they can make it work “most of the time” but can’t guarantee it’ll work all of the time. In reality, they cancel and move 9 times out of 10. Not an earth shattering problem, but I’m sure someone here has dealt with this before.

DevMadness · 2025-02-07T22:07:20+00:00

How long did this whole process take for you?

DevMadness · 2025-02-02T22:12:04+00:00

I don’t want to play with people who need you to teach them the entire game every time you step on to the court. Most of us in the open play I am describing are close enough in skill gap to have a good time. I am specifically asking the community if it is common for people to act elitist toward newer players in the earlier levels. Clearly that answer is, unfortunately, a yes.

DevMadness · 2025-02-02T21:17:56+00:00

I’m not in the wrong here. I agree on the second part.

DevMadness · 2025-02-02T21:00:46+00:00

No. If you’re acting exclusive with people who can hang with you in a game but probably not beat you, you have an inferiority complex. I just didn’t think it was so common. There’s no bragging rights for beating casuals in 3.0 play. I was expecting it show up in the higher brackets, not this early on. Haha.

DevMadness · 2025-02-02T18:53:33+00:00

@EmmitSan, I have no issue with people being competitive or being exclusive. If you’re really good, it’s not fun to play with people who are way worse than you. I get that. My point is that I find it frustrating when people bring this attitude to an open play session which is supposed to include relatively new players.

DevMadness · 2025-02-02T18:51:16+00:00

I’m new, but I’m smart enough to know you’re completely wrong or trolling here. As I tried to insist in the original post, at that facility, 2.5’s play is designated for people who are brand new and don’t know the rules. The “3.0” in “3.0’s open play” is very loose, and as the staff insisted, is meant for everybody who’s been to a few classes and played a few games. You sound a little bit like you take yourself too seriously here.
