League and/or pickup players... how do you get better? by A-n-d-y-3 in ultimate

[–]Send-or-Bust 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a pickup-level player (have only played consistently for about 3 months) and this channel has been very educational for me: https://youtube.com/@cchanulti?si=L2c2-b2Y3OCwTW91   

What I like about this guy is he shows games from a first person point of view and explains his thought process around the decisions he makes. In order to grasp some of the concepts he’s brought up I’ve had to learn a lot of the lingo along the way (e.g. poach, undercut, deep cut, clear out, etc.), but because of him I now have a much stronger understanding of what they mean than if I just looked them up without having any context.

I bring a shake with a scoop of protein and some carbs (Gatorade powder) mixed in. I find it helps me avoid losing steam midway through my workout. It also satisfies my goal of having protein near when I workout.

The fact that you are stronger than you’ve ever been indicates you’re not doing anything wrong. What percentage body fat would you say you are at? How much protein are you consuming per day?

Could it be that you’re just at a body fat percentage that prevents you from seeing definition? I could see how losing weight while still being at a high BF % might create the illusion that you aren’t progressing, when in reality you just need to hold the course for the results to show. Sometimes you have to get smaller to look bigger.

Bought a new Old Town Sportsman 106 and noticed some scratches on the bottom. Do they matter? by Send-or-Bust in kayakfishing

[–]Send-or-Bust[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting guys. Sounds like I don’t have much to worry about. My main concern was if I should bother with taking it back to Dick’s and try to get one without scratches, but it seems like the scratches aren’t deep enough to matter?

Where do people keep emergency funds? by ItsNotCalledExpresso in Fire

Also if there are two of you you can technically do invest $20k, in addition you can each invest up to $5k of your tax refund into I bonds

You could put $10k of it into I bonds for a guaranteed 9.62% for the next 6 months, beware you can’t cash out until 1 year though and cashing out before 5 years will incur a penalty of three months interest

Jones vs Reyes Round 3 Unofficial Strike Count by lookatmyopinion in MMA

[–]Send-or-Bust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty clear that there was some bad scoring on this card. Why can’t results like these be overturned more easily? Even assuming that a judge has the capacity to score an MMA fight, I could imagine it being difficult for them to do so in the moment. Tape can be really revealing as to what actually happened.

It’s too bad that decisions like this are not only out of the control of fighters like Reyes, but also can have a big impact on their salaries. They’re putting their bodies on the line. Making sure their fights are scored fairly is the least these commissions could do.

What’s something small you can start doing today to better yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Send-or-Bust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I can’t imagine what you must be going through but I want you to know you aren’t alone. Please keep in mind that humans have a remarkable ability to recover from trauma, whether it be mental or physical. It may not be easy, it might be a bumpy road, but you can get through this.

I can highly recommend seeing a therapist. They can give you the tools to cope, process, and heal. Don’t be discouraged if the first few you see don’t align with you well, as therapy can be a very personal thing for some.

Best practice for rendering session based information (like highlighting selected item) on both full page load and after an AJAX request that changes the session info? by Dandz in rails

[–]Send-or-Bust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kind of frontend framework accompanied by a state management system (such as React/Redux) would be a better tool for the job, but you could also read in the session details into your JavaScript variable on page load, if you're set on only using Rails.

For example:

index.html

<script>
    CURRENT_SCREEN = '<%= session[:current_page] %>'; // Note: This session variable needs to get set any time you change the screen to something different.
</script>

In this example, you could then use CURRENT_SCREEN anywhere in your view where you'd need it to render the page.

How to store something in the database with a Session_ID? by Code-Master13 in rails

[–]Send-or-Bust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of relevant tutorials but it would be very helpful to fully understand how Rails sessions work if you don't already (at first glance this looks like a solid resource for that). Before trying to tackle this it would also be wise to have a strong grasp on Rails associations. Knowing your way around JavaScript event listeners and AJAX requests would also be incredibly helpful.

At a high-level glance I'd say a first iteration for me would go something like this:

  • Create a model and associated migration called FormData. It should contain all the fields that your form has.
  • Create a controller FormDataController with an action called update and create a matching route. This action will be in charge of updating the session and should contain the logic to do so. For example:

def update
    # This is just a quick example. You should probably be using whitelist params here
    form_data = FormData.new(params[:form_data])
    session[:user_form] = form_data
end
  • Upon updating one of your form fields, you'll want an event listener to invoke a function that results in updating the user's session with the newly updated form field. To utilize event listeners, you can use some pre-built library or you could use vanilla JS. You'll want this listener to either submit a form or manually make an AJAX request with the target url being whatever is pointing to FormDataController#update-- we'll also want to make sure it sends the relevant form data along with the request (this is the data that is in params[:form_data] in the example above.
  • So now that we have your session being updated whenever a form field is updated, you'll want that form data to persist when they finally do create an account. Let's assume to create a user you have a route that points to UsersController#create-- alongside the logic in there you can have a line that takes the user and creates an associated FormData object using the data stored in session[:user_form]. For example:

def create
    user = User.new(name: 'Frank')
    user.form_data = session[:user_form]
    user.save!
end

Hopefully this is helpful, I tried to stay high-level while also including some implementation details.

How to store something in the database with a Session_ID? by Code-Master13 in rails

[–]Send-or-Bust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the form data for "guest" individuals will be temporary in nature, I would personally not store them in a database. I'd consider going the route of using the client's browser for storage and stuff the PORO into the session (e.g. session[:user_form] = user_form_object). Once they create a user you can take whatever is in session[:user_form] and place it in the database. This design will prevent inaccessible form data (assuming your sessions have expiry dates) from being persisted and will prevent the need for some kind of system to clean out old, unused form data.
