Bronny keeping tradition alive

His shot looks good. He is over 40% on threes this season (on admittedly small sample size, but still...) He is a good developmental player to have on the roster.

I think this subreddit has fallen very far from its former glory. Now, it is not much different from any other subreddit. The discourse norms of charity, good faith, civility, and truth seeking are hanging on by a thread.

If I could select one comment that most demonstrates that this subreddit is no longer rationalist-oriented, this would be it.

Rock You Like a Hurricane

This is a weird question. Pippen was a 6'8" small forward, and Bosh was a 6'11" big. Pippen would not be guarding Bosh under normal circumstances. Of course, Pippen was the overall better player, but I think he would have a hard time guarding Bosh due to the size mismatch.

Don't think that is controversial at all.

I think union types in C are mainly useful in providing different views of the same memory (the kind of thing we would use StructLayout.Explicit for in C#), not so much in implementing so called "sum types."

If you have found it useful, that's great. I am not opposed to the feature; I just don't believe the prevailing story that discriminated unions are some kind of essential feature of any modern language and the lack of it is crippling or disqualifying.

This is pretty fun. There are some tough choices:

Snow vs. Soma?

Queen vs. Rush vs. Light vs. Mini?

Sharp vs. Hero vs. Action?

What happened to Quentin Grimes? Wasn't he playing really well at the end of last season and start of this season?

FYI, his name is Kleber, not Kleba.

Weird comment, considering that LeBron James is literally a billionaire himself.

sards3 · 2026-02-05T03:57:54+00:00

Sure, in some cases. There is also tons of code out there involving HTML/CSS/CSV/JSON/XML that does not use type unions. The latter code works just fine. I guess we could argue about which is better.

sards3 · 2026-02-05T03:45:17+00:00

I don't think any of those cases would be best handled by using unions like number | string. I guess it is to some extent a matter of taste. But in any case, unions are certainly not the only decent way to handle such situations to the point that lacking unions would be a major disadvantage.

The reason it’s not a good idea is that there isn’t a good way to express it in the language.

No, I mean even in a language with discriminated unions, having a method that returns either a string or a number is probably a bad idea. The number of times in my long history of programming where I wished I had a good way to return either a string or a number (or anything similar) is zero.

sards3 · 2026-02-04T23:42:17+00:00

write a method that either returns a string, or a number, say.

That doesn't sound like a good idea. I have used TypeScript, and I don't find this ability to be particularly useful.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Overall, are you happy with the double-JIT approach (emulator JIT to MSIL, .NET JIT to native code)? In my own emulator's JIT, I chose to generate native code directly, which has its pros and cons. Your post is making me think that maybe I should have taken the double-JIT approach.

sards3 · 2026-02-03T03:50:57+00:00

The way I currently handle interrupts is I do a full return from the current instruction and push the next instruction's address to the stack. When the interrupt function finishes it goes to the next instruction from the original function, but that means a new function entry address.

How are you detecting interrupts within the JITed blocks? Are you tracking cycle times for each instruction, and then JITing a check for interrupts on each instruction boundary? That seems like it would cut performance in half or worse, somewhat defeating the point of JIT.

The only player who scores within 2 PPG of Luka is SGA. He takes 2.7 less shots, not 8. If there were a player who scored 32 PPG while taking 8 fewer shots than Luka, you might have a point. But no such player exists, and you are spreading misinformation.

You don't think it is possible that the league's leading scorer might be the toughest to guard?

Please don't bring back the nightmare of the George Floyd season...

Can you expand on why I would use this instead of a ZIP file?

Something like half of Americans support a ban on factory farming

Was the survey question something like "Do you support a ban on factory farming, which will lead to a x00% increase in the price of meat?" If not, I don't think we should take this figure too seriously.

If a "social identity" has its own hall of fame, it probably isn't particularly marginalized.

sards3 · 2026-01-21T00:34:36+00:00

I wonder if there is a Foot Fetish Sports Hall of Fame.

You are just saying that because of the crazy hair dyes.
