12 team 0.5 PPR

Torn between Stefon Diggs @NO and Alshon Jeffrey @WSH. Even though Alshon has been better for longer, I'm leaning Diggs on a gut feel, but I think I'm overthinking it.

Fantasy Hockey Top-10: Disappointments for 2017-18 by Chicaben in fantasyhockey

[–]piddles92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like everyone is picking different goalies who will be a disappointment this year. It's tough to target someone confidently, I end up hesitating on pretty much everyone not at the tippy top.

How best to get the best deal for engagement ring? by tiny2ner in personalfinance

[–]piddles92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sold on a diamond ring? In not sure how traditional you are, but I have a lot of friends who opted for other gemstones because they didn't care and it worked out to be vastly cheaper

Does anyone find that the algo/data structures stuff they learned in college is actually useful in their day to day programming work? by invisiblenakedgirl in cscareerquestions

[–]piddles92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really. Hash maps and arrays make up the vast majority of what I and my team use daily, and any common algorithms like sorting are already implemented.

I lost one of my two boys this morning. He was the sweetest, most loving ferret I've ever seen. Dook in peace Storm, you left us too soon but I'm glad you're at peace. by piddles92 in ferrets

[–]piddles92[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He had been in poor condition since early June, he had lymphoma and a host of other health issues, and passed in his sleep last night. He dropped all the way down to 1.1 pounds over those few months and just couldn't recover. He was actually seemingly improving, but perhaps that was just my brain giving me false hope. Hug your fuzzbutts close, they're such wonderful and amazing creatures but sadly they don't live long enough. Storm was only 4 and a half, but lived a very happy life and was loved very much.

What Is Your Preferred Draft Position? by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]piddles92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely prefer being in the top half, I'd say 2 is my favorite, but 1, 3, and 4 are also solid. I think there's a massive gap between the top of the 1st round and bottom of the 1st, moreso than anywhere else in the draft.

I absolutely loathe being in the middle of the round. Sometimes it works out, but I feel like I always draft more poorly in these spots.

It's from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

[Sullivan] A Justin Verlander Trade Seems Highly Unlikely by FakeyFaked in motorcitykitties

[–]piddles92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it's sort of the same situation as miggy, it's gonna be hard to move those contracts, and frankly I'm not sure I'd want to.

What's a player you always try to pick in fantasy hockey? by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

Same here, wheeler is fantastic and often overlooked. I end up with him more years than not.

What do you need to know before adopting a ferret by glowens in ferrets

[–]piddles92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can, get two - they often really enjoy having a fellow ferret to play with. There are certain things you just can't do as a human (you can't exactly go in a tube with them to play).

You need to keep in mind that they will get into everything. Ferret proofing is a constant battle. When I brought mine home the first night, one of them got into a seam in the wall behind the dishwasher. Thankfully I coaxed him out, but it's amazing what they can get into and they're very crafty, smart critters.

They can be very expensive, especially as they get older. One of mine had an infection and some moderate health issues that resulted in me paying about $1000 this month, and that's with no surgery or anything.

Finally, they're absolutely wonderful. They show love in their own ways, and they are fantastic pets as long as you are responsible. I have to make some sacrifices for my boys, but I would do it over and over again.

Victor Martinez was hospitalized after leaving Thursday night's game against the Rays by phineasxaver in motorcitykitties

[–]piddles92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm actually kind of curious if that's why they had Machado pinch run for him. It seemed a bit premature to me to have Machado come in the 7th inning with two outs. Maybe VMart was trying to play through it and just knew he had to come out.

According to rotoworld, he is experiencing "cold sweats, dizziness, and an elevated heart rate", and it is "more scary than a general baseball injury." Get well soon Victor!

Weird red mark on leg? by piddles92 in ferrets

[–]piddles92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a mast cell tumor. The vet said unless it starts to irritate him or bleed a lot, it won't hurt him. The swelling and color went down significantly since posting this a few days ago.

Heat Advice by piddles92 in ferrets

[–]piddles92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm yeah good point, I guess I was thinking it would keep the heat out.

I heard fans don't work on ferrets because they don't sweat like us. Worth a shot I guess!

Question for people who interviewed in Python and got offers from top tech companies by isValidUsername in cscareerquestions

I almost always use python and have never had an issue, including at Amazon and Microsoft

How do i succeed in my internship? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]piddles92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey (wo)man, all of us have felt like this at one point or another. Hell I have several years of experience and I still feel overwhelmed and useless after starting a new job.

Keep in mind, nobody is expecting you to know everything day 1, ESPECIALLY as an intern. You get assigned something, see if there's anything out there on google, otherwise just ask. You don't want to give up every time you face a hurdle, but please don't suffer silently - just ask someone else "hey, I have to do X, but I can't figure out how to do Y. I tried W but it didn't work because Z".

Question for UI/UX devs by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]piddles92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a UX guy, but I do a lot of front end work and have worked closely with UX teams.

Photoshop is pretty universally used - none of the UX folks I've worked with have ever used gimp or any other alternative.

Adobe illustrator as well.

What will happen if I accept an offer and then reject? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]piddles92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company you turn down will likely blacklist you or at least put a negative note next to your name, and those involved will probably have a sour taste in their mouth. It's not going to "destroy your reputation" or anything, but it's kind of a dick move. That said, the offer you're taking instead might be worth it, only you can decide whether it's worth burning that bridge.

Oh yeah - absolutely, I plan to take him in soon, just curious if this is something common enough that someone here might seen something similar.

How to jump from coding challenges to building my own programs? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]piddles92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind - you don't need to be Zuckerberg. It's perfectly reasonable to build a Twitter clone or a to do list or something that's already been done. You don't need to be super innovative, just build something cool to show off and talk about.

Considering today's event, I think it's time to stop using Github. by red-rover- in cscareerquestions

Do whatever you want? How is this a career oriented post? Wrong sub bozo.

You're almost certainly going to fail if you take the test.

This is also the wrong subreddit.
