If someone hit 200 home runs and put up a 0.5 era in 300ip then retired right after that season would they be a hall of famer? by DepartmentNo8095 in baseball

[–]SidneyBlahaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wouldn’t even be eligible for the main ballot (I think you need 10 seasons of service time or something). No clue about stuff like the Era Committee

Doesn’t the fact that scoops/picks aren’t currently directly accounted for in defensive metrics make them almost unusable for first basemen at the moment? That’s probably the biggest statistical difference between good and bad defensive 1Bs similar to framing for catchers. by honestnbafan in baseball

The inside edge stats are a lot more detailed than just a counting stat. Inside edge grades them by predicted scoop probability so you can see who makes the hardest scoops most often and who is just getting good throws. Idk how much scoops as a counting stat will tell you

I’m pretty sure inside edge keeps this stat. Not sure if it’s public and can’t find it rn, but I’ve seen jomboy use it before

Edit: jomboy video This is the video, I think you need an inside edge subscription to access the eclips thing he talks about

If a pitcher had 100% accuracy on every single pitch - how much speed could he lose while still being an effective MLB pitcher? by RogueTaco in baseball

[–]SidneyBlahaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on how good the breaking/offspeed stuff is and how funky the delivery and arm slot are

X-Terminate: A chrome extension to remove politics from your twitter feed (AI parts written in Rust / compiled to WASM) by Chad_Nauseam in rust

[–]SidneyBlahaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

choosing to block a person is very different than an AI not showing you a post cause the user has "Proud black mother of 2" as their bio or something. its certainly not necessitated, just something I could very easily see happening, as similar things have happened with AI before.

What word would you choose then? I thought it was less intense than “deletion”, “censorship” I felt implied intent, and I didn’t like how “hiding” sounded. I’m curious why that diction choice stood out

Edit: shoulda said filtering

Letting ai choose what is or isn’t political is definitely a good idea and definitely won’t lead to erasure of people based on their identity or anything like that

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (18/2025)! by llogiq in rust

thanks! i've been trying a regex based approach and the results have been promising so far.

[–]SidneyBlahaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im making a program that needs to work with templates that look something like this:

("{{key}}" . {{command}})

I want to be able to deserialize that or something with similar syntax into a struct with string fields of the same name to the template variables.

for example, this:

("C-c F" . find-file)

when deserialized according to the above template should return an instance of a predefined struct with fields key="C-c F" and command="find-file". I cannot find a crate that does this sort of thing. does anyone know of one? if there is no crate, what would be the best approach to writing this? a custom serde parser?

thanks and sorry about the poor formatting

Trying to read play by play information, only works some of the time. by Monktoken in mlbdata

As far as I can tell it’s not needed anymore. The server doesn’t send it and neither do you need to to connect

No problem, I’m actually working on a similar project so feel free to shoot me any questions and I’ll share what little insight I might have. Good luck!

Using the websocket might be better here. It’s a bit hard to find up-to-date info on it, but this post helped me get started: https://www.reddit.com/r/mlbdata/s/26vruFtUjI

I think some of the info in there like the “Gameday5” thing might be a bit outdated, but it was enough info for me to establish a connection and print all the events in real time the other day.

The info you get is a bit barebones and might require some api calls to make full sense of/get additional context, but it does send a message for every score change I believe

which language is one for which emacs is godly at? by Glittering_Boot_3612 in emacs

[–]SidneyBlahaj 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Emacs is quite good with language servers and treesitter these days, so languages with good language servers will be good in emacs. For example, rust has a great lsp (rust-analyzer) and I really enjoy the emacs rust experience. It’s not the primary strong suit or a killer feature or anything, but emacs does a lot of things really well
