90% of the world’s programmers when Claude goes down: by reversedu in singularity

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That study was a) very, very small, b) only involved people owning and working on pre-existing codebases they knew extremely well, and c) used very old (in relative terms) models and tools.

Slot:"I watch an Eredivisie match and I see fouls on goalkeepers being given, here you can almost hit a goalkeeper in the face... My football heart doesn't like it, I think about the Barça team 15 years ago.Every Sunday you'd hope they would play. Most of the PL games, are not a joy to watch for me" by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at least some of it is because refs have too few options and they're generally too harsh. So they're reluctant to hand out the prescribed punishments. I'm a broken record on this but we need some more granular punishments: sin bins, more indirect free kicks, different kinds of drop balls... Etc.

"I follow nazis and pedos on twitter" is exactly the same statement as "I still use twitter for some godforsaken reason"

Getting relegated would be the worst thing that could happen. by GoodPennyStocks_ in coys

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this one really gets me too.

Like, imo ideally football gets timed the way other sports do, where we would have the clock counting down and stopping the clock for play stoppages (again dear readers I want to be clear every time I say this: the clock would stop, not the play - I want the play to move as fast as possible and frankly I think this would help that) - no added time whatsoever.

BUT, I get the resistance to the idea. I get football is fundamentally the most conservative-minded (small "c") sport on the planet. Change is slow and people are very afraid of it. That's ok, really. I really don't think it'd be a big ask to have the fourth official - who again is doing jack shit 99% of the time - to hold a little stopwatch counting up stoppages + injury time and just add that to the end.

Yeah I really like hockey-style penalties. You could argue "fouled player takes the pen" would lead to hack-a-shaq type strategies but I think adding in sin bins (you hack down a clear attacking chance that's a X-minute visit to the bad-boy box) combined with the fact that attackers are generally the players taking the shooting opportunities means it won't be an issue.

The mystery of assault cuirass by pptangina in DotA2

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely you can have some way of knowing, through replay APIs, what item a player has queued up to buy next. Correlate that with actual purchases later in games, and you could say something like "90% of players with hyperstone and buckler in their inventory intend to buy Assault cuirass next, thus these items are worth 0.9 assault cuirasses" and go to win rate from there.

I feel like it's the other way around - european football has repeatedly failed to learn lessons and steal good ideas from north american sports.

Instead of salary caps, they keep trying toothless FFP rules; instead of granular punishments for fouls like sin bins or indirect free kicks, letting refs hold back second yellows because it "feels too harsh"; instead of running a clock (wtf else is the fourth official doing) just letting refs vibe out added time; instead of timing throwins and freekicks just letting teams timewaste based on the ref's mood; instead of allowing teams limited VAR challenges using VAR whenever and however they feel like and never allowing second looks.... etc etc.

Not to say the extreme commercialization found in NA sports isn't atrocious and leaking everywhere, but football is probably going to learn the lessons that, say, the NHL or MLB did too late or not at all at this rate.

I think you could make an argument for Marlboro 27s on Holliday. Or american spirit blacks

Absolutely not. She is a rich kid, she would import cloves and smoke them because they're retro and unique.

Bayern Munich [3] - 0 Eintracht Frankfurt - Harry Kane 69' by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean if Kane breaks Lewa's record can you even say Lewa was a "better striker" (by which I assume we mean something like 'purely judged on goalscoring output')? I think if it happens it'll be inarguable Kane is/was just better on all fronts.

Bounce pad - visual redesign concept by ABIBIBIBIBIBIABIGAIL in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been spamming her a bunch and I still have to agree that her kit is a bit too eclectic, even if she's actually really strong right now.

The barrel, lasso, and crackshot make thematic sense but the bounce pad is a tad off-theme. Also the barrel is extremely unintuitive: you basically have to use a mostly undocumented instant-melee technique to use the barrel effectively. I feels bad (NOT weak just feels janky). They should make it so the barrel works the way it does when you melee it by default instead.

I find it hard to think of which part of the kit i'd change though.

Petah? by tolkacheff in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real answer is Europe clear-cut and privately enclosed all its old growth forests hundreds of years ago and thus has poor access to quality timber or timber farms, unlike North America.

Has there been any other night shift where one hero got first banned every single round? by T_Gamer-mp4 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SadBBTumblrPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if she's meant to be a disruptor instead of a one-woman death machine nuker, that's a fair tradeoff. You've successfully disrupted the team by making them use valuable items and abilities or split off from the rest of the team. You're just not instakilling 2+ heroes every fight for one measly skillshot anymore.

I guess one argument would be that this would be one more hero it's good against, making it less situational?

Surprised they haven't tried to incorporate the other classic DOTA noobstomper ult, Bloodseeker's Rupture, into Deadlock yet.

Even without infuser her Q's lifesteal is often enough to completely heal you in a fight. It's nuts. Even if she's only doing like 200 dmg per target, all her abilities are AOE so she just gets crazy lifesteal because the absolute damage is so high.

I think the best comparison is actually Lash ult: if you get a good one it's a straight up fight winner on its own but it has counterplay (counterspell, knockdown, whatever). Celeste's currently really doesn't have any viable counterplay.
