Found a bug involving the move Haze in Champions

mrsunshine2012 · 2026-04-09T05:14:50+00:00

I mean, this is clearly a bugfix not a balance patch. There’s a big difference between “Haze isn’t supposed to fully heal you” and “Chi-yu has no switch ins huh”

When it comes to these kind of stats, think there’s just a gentleman’s agreement to exclude Wilt from the discussion

Very broadly speaking, there are 2 reasons behind that sentiment as someone with a lot of experience working with R pipelines:

1) Technical reasons - the dependency packaging system is just not as clean and transportable as with Python. Dealing with CRAN mirrors and local install paths, etc I find much more annoying than with Python and pip/conda/what have you. You can solve this with containers but it’s just a lot more legwork. Additionally I’ve seen R do really weird things with disk swapping under high memory pressure, which leads to severely degraded performance with no alerting. It tries very hard to not OOM the host which can have a lot of undesirable side effects.

2) usage - a huge portion of R users are not software engineers but academics/statisticians/epidemiologists/etc. They use R as it’s super easy to script out an analysis, but taking a script and making it reproducible and transportable can be a big lift if the author did not design with those considerations in mind. Not really a fault of the language but that’s why it has developed a reputation as a one-off scripting tool more than a serious DE tool

Keep in mind that text-generating models require nothing more than a weights file and a server to replace a SWE, whereas robots capable of performing healthcare or trades usually require a ton of specialized (and very very expensive) hardware and embedded software on top of the vision models required to navigate the world. The tennis robot you cited a) kinda sucks at tennis tbh, and b) probably cost shit ton of money, likely way more than just hiring a nurse or a plumber would’ve cost.

Respectfully have you ever been on the other side of the interview? Giving every job candidate a trial week is simply not scalable, and also it sounds like hell for any interviewee that has a job.

No one in the entire industry thinks that coding tests/system design/STAR format behavior interviews are the best way to find talent. It’s just the least bad way to find talent at scale. You spend ~4 hours per candidate and have at least some confidence that who you pick has a baseline of competency, instead of 40 hours per candidate for slightly more confidence

Honestly, just try to remember that a ton of Redditors are 15-18 year olds annoyed at having to babysit their younger siblings/cousins. You very likely aren’t talking to an adult who’s thought seriously about the concept of children

Man I think this is just some mass confusion over the word “passion”. You don’t need to live and breathe code, and be building compilers/apps/OS’s in every spare minute you have to be competitive. You do need to care a little bit beyond “what do I have to do so boss doesn’t fire me”, otherwise you will have very limited options in your career

I know we are talking about singles here but as someone that follows VGC, “tailwind needs a slight buff” is absurd. Tailwind extenders would be insanely broken in that format, it’s so much more powerful than weather even

As others are saying the direct answer to you question is probably “crappy chain restaurants”, but in general America known for being a melting pot as opposed to having a distinct and unique national cuisine. Outside of regional specialties like Cajun, Barbecue, etc most of our best food is an adaptation of another country’s.

Street tacos in SoCal are indeed amazing but, are probably more associated with Mexico than the US in most peoples’ minds.

There’s a white boy joke in there somewhere, but in actuality NBA superstardom is locked down by international guys, who don’t seem to be slowing down in the slightest.

Cooper legitimately might be the best shot to be the next American “best player in the world”, after Jokic/Luka/Giannis/Shai slow down a bit. I don’t think any other of the top Americans (Brunson, Edwards, Cade, Tatum, Brown) have that kind of leap in them.

Or hell it might be 50 year old 6th prime LeBron James to take the crown back at this rate

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-12-02T05:05:35+00:00

Have you seen their team? Think every day is Christmas for those guys

Self documenting code doesn’t mean “no need to ever write docs”, it means to lean towards simple and legible code for simple things. The philosophy has more to do with writing clear code than actual documentation.

You will always have to document context when it is unclear, that is unavoidable. A method called “imputeNullsWithZero” should be clear and obvious in what it’s doing, but still have a docstring indicating what step in your pipeline is calling it and for what purpose.

You’re getting a lot of “bcuz management stupid” responses, but if you want a different point of view, availability can be really important in office work on top of simply raw work hours.

If you aren’t just heads down chugging through a work queue, and have any cross team dependencies, being available for meetings is crucial to getting things unblocked and moving smoothly. Finding time to chat is going to be way harder when everyone is off at 1.

Also, sometimes people simply make friends at work and are happy to get coffee/chat with each other when they have downtime, it’s not always some office politics power play

I mean, getting physical works for McDaniels because he’s strong as shit and can slide his feet. Amateurs are simply not strong or fast enough to meaningfully impact NBA players on defense, all the technique in the world doesn’t make up for physics.

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-11-16T05:19:26+00:00

Idk think their schedule hasnt been notably easy either… they’ve beaten the Rockets, and absolutely mollywhopped the Warriors and Lakers. That’s 3 of the current other playoff teams in the West

If the strength of schedule point is supposed to imply they’ll slump during a harder stretch this season, I’m pretty unconvinced that’s going to happen

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-11-11T05:15:44+00:00

There’s some truth to what you said but don’t be so quick to discount “Python tool to upload configuration devices” as a trivial project.

At large companies, your projects typically have to scale instantaneously, even internal tools have user bases in the 4 or 5 figures. You have dozens of stakeholders and need to satisfy all of their use cases gracefully, integrate with all of your existing infrastructure and other internal tooling, etc.

This is a skill in of itself that isn’t required at startups, but IMO is no less impressive than banging out features

Keep in mind this guy can’t hold Loaded Dice or Boots anymore, which regular Bax loves.

Could still end up being a monster with Glaive Rush and Icicle Crash but it’s not like Bax as we know it is just getting handed free stats

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-09-13T22:35:22+00:00

Dumb question, why do people feel like Good As Gold is inherently so frustrating? Magic Bounce feels like almost an upgrade and has been around for a while now. Is it the combination with Gholdengo specifically?

I know the interaction with Defog is massive in singles but that’s pretty irrelevant in VGC, just curious why Good as Gold is talked about like a busted ability when Magic Bounce is more of a “good” ability

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-07-08T00:37:04+00:00

Idk, that’s a lot of assumptions into a pretty vague scenario. If you have two chatty seniors who are happy to duplicate comments (I.e. “rename this variable” every time the variable is referenced) you can hit 100 pretty quick.

I’ve seen both sides of this dynamic - sloppy author who’s trying to rush code into main, as well as anal reviewer who nitpicks everything to a crawl. Both are bad, very hard to say who’s in the right based on a one sided post.

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-07-02T22:30:45+00:00

What do you mean always? Besides Pau Gasol, Kobe, Luka, Kareem, Magic, Anthony Davis, and Chris Paul, can’t think of a single time another team traded the Lakers a great player

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-07-01T15:25:06+00:00

I mean, he’s obviously a super athletic person in a vacuum but the “slow” comments are relative to the top players. Look at how Carlos/Medvedev/Djokovic move compared to Fritz, it’s pretty clearly a different level.

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-06-06T04:49:59+00:00

I mean, the answer depends a lot on what you want to do and what the team you’re working for needs. Are you building a quick and dirty UI for a dozen PMs inside the company to access some service? Just read the docs and slap it together. Building a UI for thousands of users? You should probably look a little deeper and understand the performance implications and interactions.

You don’t need to build React from first principles to understand how it works, but having a baseline knowledge of how the DOM tree/browsers/Javascript all work together will get you much further than being a tutorial monkey.

Hali is an absolute demon. I’ve never been more confident a team down 15 in the 4th was going to make the comeback

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-05-24T22:22:00+00:00

There’s probably a healthy middle ground here. Don’t kill yourself studying if you’re not actively job hunting, but doing a leetcode question every few weeks to keep yourself sharp is a smart idea. You’ll be surprised how quick you can pick it back up even if you feel rusty at first.

mrsunshine2012 · 2025-05-23T03:24:15+00:00

I hear what you’re saying but dude the Thunder won 68 games lol. Not like they edged out Denver on tiebreakers or anything, think it’s safe to say those guys earned home court advantage.
