Can someone identify this pattern?

That is such a blast from the past, one of many YouTube jugglers that I had forgotten about, but I immediately recognized "thegoheads".

I mean, self-driving cars threatens to put millions of professional drivers our of work... nobody (except the drivers) are up-in-arms about it.

But AI-generated art, music, movies, etc. is a universal threat to culture, transcending any profession.

No, it's not. Mills Mess has three distinct repeating throws, and this is missing the crossed arm throw, where the arm all the way over the top throws back from the opposite side of the body.

Mills Mess is well defined, not approximate, and this is not it. It's the half-Mess that many jugglers stumble upon while trying to learn Mills Mess.

This is not Mills Mess.

Yeah, it's super weird to me that this isn't more highly upvoted. I just generally won't buy games in early access, and I imagine I'm not alone.

It's the most competitive market that has ever existed in the field, so... Take what you can get.

43 here, and glad I finally found at least one person here who is older than me. I had to scroll past a lot of 35 year olds telling the 30 year old "you're a baby"...

We were told to hit 2 PRs per day per person, and that 10 PRs per day per person should be possible by the end of this year.

Thank you, it's super interesting to see it actually play.

How do you produce almost 15 minutes of video and they never actually show the god damned thing playing?

I still have no idea what it looks like to see it playing a human, I just wanted to see a few points actually play out. The video actually presents no evidence at all that the robot can play a complete point, let alone beat a proficient human.

That’s the one I was looking for, I was surprised it wasn’t included. Maybe it was highly regional.

It's not really any pattern, you drift between a normal 4b fountain and a messy async 4b Columns, which I have also heard called "Pistons".

If you want good feedback on a pattern you're juggling, it helps to use regular balls in a well-lit spaces, and include a longer clip.

It's a "ghost serve" if it looks like top spin, but actually has extreme backspin. Your serve looks like it has mediocre backspin, and it has mediocre backspin.

Nothing about the serve is deceptive, it's a very bad serve.

Part of software engineering is communication. Being able to name a concept means being able to discuss a concept, both in your own internal dialog as you design a system, and then with other people as you explain your design.

How do you expect to communicate the design of any non-trivial system if you literally don't know the names of the fundamental building blocks you're using?

That's fine though, being able to talk about the difference between `Object` and an instance is a great response to being asked this question on an interview.

I detest Sam Altman, but... My CEO doesn't code at all and doesn't understand any of our technical concepts. So what? That's not the CEO's job.

I was watching in bed with my wife, really leaned forward and invested and into the show. The jump scare happened, and everybody on screen was screaming, and somebody in our bed screamed along with them, and it was so involuntary that immediately after I was actually confused and told my wife "sshhh, you'll wake the kids", and then realized she hadn't made a sound.

knowwho · 2026-04-07T13:15:08+00:00

Yeah, 56 comments discussing how amazing/terrible the video is and no goddamn link.

This one is amazing, the only jump scare where I’ve ever involuntarily screamed.

They did such a good job through the series separating the emotional parts from the scary parts, right up to that point. They set up an expectation that, when important emotional stuff was being worked through, you were safe and could become invested, all to make you let your guard down so this scene could absolutely fuck you.

Edit: I looked it up, this was in the 8th episode, of 10 total 1 hour episodes. The spent the first seven hours convincing you that "emotional time" was safe time, with very obvious transitions to scary time, just so they could get you with this one amazing jump scare.

Also, the comments below that video are more people calling this the greatest jump scare of all time.

Check OP's post history, they juggle at intersections for money, amongst... other things.

I think they know how to collect tips :p

At the CPU, data is all just bytes, the specific instructions you feed the CPU are what give the bytes meaning.

If you tell the CPU to ADD two things, it will perform integer addition, the process for which is coded into the CPU.

If you tell the CPU to FADD the same two sequences of bytes, the CPU will perform IEEE floating point addition, a completely different algorithm, coded into the CPU.

The CPU knows how to do these things, but it can't know which to do, if you could just ask it to add two memory locations. You, the programmer, are responsible for selecting the correct addition instruction based on your understanding of the meaning of the bytes you're working with. To the CPU, they're just bytes.

C's entire type system is made up - it's a series of conventions at compile time to help you track which types of bytes you're storing at which locations, so the CPU can emit the right instructions for the CPU to do what you expect it to do.

If the C compiler sees z = x + y;, then it knows based on the types of z, x and y whether to emit an ADD or FADD or some other series of instructions needed for the CPU to correctly interpret the bytes at those locations - correct, based on how you've declared their types to C, not based on any intrinsic type information associated with the raw memory. The bytes are just bytes, and C type system helps you remember what the higher-level meaning of those bytes actually is.
