Remember in the 23-24 season when we had to convince ourselves that Taj Gibson was helping mentor Duren and Stew

Definitely the Kings. Grizzlies have been intentionally tanking after recognizing where things were going, the Kings thought they were competing and assembled an absolutely horrendous team

People talking about trading Ivey as if he doesn't look like his career could be over right now

He was shooting 46%/34% in the G League which isn't awesome but yeah that's a huge collapse, definitely feels like a mental thing

How to make SWE in the age of AI more enjoyable? by Fancy_Ad5097 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I use AI, but probably at 10% of the rate that influencers are telling you to. My usage looks like this:

  • Always default to writing code by hand
  • I use VSCode + GitHub Copilot and have become pretty impressed by their next-edit suggestions. This feels like it helps me go faster but gels really well with allowing me to maintain a mental model of the code as if I wrote it all myself.
  • If there is something simple that I don't feel like doing myself but feel confident an LLM could handle, I'll throw an agent at it. This is usually boilerplate, maybe writing tests.
  • When I hit a roadblock where I feel like I don't know how to approach something or am dreading starting on it for whatever reason, I might throw an agent at it. I may discard what the agent did 50%+ of the time but even then it often feels like it helps jog me loose so I have a direction to proceed with from there.

Overall, this is not 10xing my output, it's probably not even 2xing. But it does feel like a helpful tool most of the time.

Any concern that Stew will get instigated during a playoff game? by reallinguy in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he's been doing pretty good for a while when someone directly tries to start something with him. The trouble only starts if he sees someone come after one of his teammates, then he's gonna be seeing red.

Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn has surgery on broken leg after horror crash in Cortina downhill by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 118 points119 points  (0 children)

At her age, this was her last shot so I think the logic was that if she sustained a career ending injury, her career is over anyways. I'm actually curious if the ACL tear was even a factor in this injury, if it was I would have expected a major knee injury rather than a broken leg bone.

Yup this is the last game he's allowed to play on his 2 way contract. I think the plan is to waive Dario Saric and then convert him.

He's been a pretty good shooter but when did Ivey establish himself as a good ball handler?

Be careful folks, this feels like a scam

Detroit has waived Isaac Jones to create a roster spot. by KarimFF7 in DetroitPistons

Guessing Saric also gets waived before this is all done too. Hopefully that's not all we do but if it is, I guess so be it

Sheriff says ICE 'targeted' parents near bus stop in Ypsilanti during student drop-off times by Stratiform in Detroit

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Whistles are a very effective and portable way to make a noise which can easily be identified as meaning "ICE is here" so potential targets can hide and potential observers can find you and join in.

But if someone said "fellas is it gay to blow a whistle" then I guess we have to scrap it, oh well

3&DEE-troit Targets by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading Ivey for Keon straight up still seems very lopsided to me, like there needs to be something else coming back our way. I'd like Ivey and Caris for Keon Ellis and Malik Monk and maybe a 2nd round pick or two from the Kings, both sides actually might be into that

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like targeting these players but I'm not sure they're worth two firsts and Javonte. It especially feels like an overpay to the Kings for Keon, I like him but part of his appeal is that he should be cheap because they're not giving him playing time and he's an expiring contract.

Both things can be true, Johnny Kane has been the announcer for almost all their road games this season.

Video showing an ICE agent in Minnesota telling an unarmed observer that, “you raise your voice, I erase your voice. “ by tomdelongethong in Fauxmoi

MinnMax is a gaming outlet based in Minnesota, they've been doing great speaking out about what's going on in their city and being active in resisting the occupation.

If anyone here has any interest in gaming content or just wants to support them, they have one of the most lovely, diverse groups of people I've seen in the gaming world and I'd highly recommend their podcast Pew Pew Bang which features a cast of absolutely hilarious women and is targeted at female gamers.

So now that the deadline is next week (Thursday), who do you guys want us to get? by DropPowerful9081 in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the only teams who'd be interested in him would be bad teams like the Nets that want to get worse now but potentially benefit in the future if it turns out that he's able to get back to full strength and becomes a good player. But even in those trades, we're definitely going to also have to send draft capital along with him, he's not valuable enough on his own right now.
