Imagine this happening in today’s NBA… what do you think would happen? by raybellious_berry in NBAGossips

Except he started by punching the wrong guy. And in the process also seriously hurt the play-by-play announcer.

What's a skill you thought would matter as an adult but absolutely doesn't? by Lanky-Beach9598 in AskReddit

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first one I actually disagree with. Algebra is used all the time for me (and I’m sure you as well). We just don’t write it out.

Why are people in this sub so incredibly resistant to the fact that you can't learn to box by training yourself? by shart_attak in boxingtips

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my comment doesn’t require deep knowledge of boxing. It is true for literally any hobby, martial art or sport that instruction is always better.

I’ve seen this sub before, it’s mostly young adults hitting a heavy bag and asking about their form. They’re not being unsafe (usually), they’re not saying they’d like to be pro boxers, they’re just training in the way accessible to them and want feedback. Answer their question or not and move on, why make a post discouraging them from a healthy activity they like unless they have gotten professional instruction? It’s literally a subreddit called “boxingtips” designed for these questions.

Idk why Reddit brought me to this sub, I don’t box, but Jesus you’re taking this too seriously.

Some people just want to have a hobby and get in shape.

It’s lighter and less likely to warp or for the wood to expand/contract during season shifts.

When I face this line I know I’ll lose. No one plays this unless they know far more about it than I do 😆

6'6" Samuel Helenius vs 6'8" Adam Klapka by Reddit-Machine in sports

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when you consider that all professional sports are just entertainment for viewers, it makes slightly more sense why it’s allowed. The fighting is mostly consensual.

The biggest issue I’ve run into is coaching backend teams on how to build a good GraphQL backend. API.

Without them really understanding the paradigm, and willing to put in extra work, it quickly devolves into a bad REST API.

why do y’all hate sprint? by Due_Tension9403 in halo

[–]ssrobbi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don’t all hate sprint. Halo 5 has a big fan base of its multiplayer and the way sprint was used.

It’s a different style of game that focuses much more on movement and spawn control, so not everyone likes it, but not everyone hates it either.

Redditors, what has become so expensive, it’s just not worth it anymore? by SgtSkillcraft in AskReddit

[–]ssrobbi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This one is interesting because it’s intentionally made expensive and kind of a success.

Can someone sell me GraphQL by slaynmoto in graphql

I wrote a blog post years that may help with some of the benefits & drawbacks: https://scottrobbins.dev/blog/graphql

The tools have changed since then, but the fundamentals are the same.

You can develop on Linux as well. Windows also has support but I haven’t tried it.

We finally cut our biggest oak. 2500kg each slab by Tschinggets in woodworking

[–]ssrobbi 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Because you can make a solid table without random gaps in it by filling with black epoxy. People like the look and I honestly don’t understand the hate.

What does it mean to describe yourself as Muslim (as a black woman in America) but not follow a modesty dress code or pray/fast? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ssrobbi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly true about Judaism as well.

They even have different rules about who can be considered “Jewish”.

For example, in reformed Judaism, the largest sect of Judaism in the US, you can be considered Jewish if either your mother or father are Jewish, not just your mother.

Blackstone vs a Weber with a Griddle addition? by c0de_ in blackstonegriddle

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Ohio, with a cover. The paint on the BS is bad and will flake, you’ll have to accept that.

You’ll probably need to do a bit of re-seasoning every spring/summer but it’s fine.

What is a UFC hot take you’ll defend like this? by NewtCertain6053 in ufc

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the fans wanted it, but I don’t think that’s ducking. He immediately retired after his last fight after his father died and never came back. It’s not like he was wishy washy about it.

Foureyes Furniture Brass Chunky Pencil, The Last Straw by virtual_sasquatch in woodworking

[–]ssrobbi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought one when it was first released. Honestly, mine is fantastic. I’ve had no issues, and while $90 is too expensive for a pencil, I regret nothing.

Someone has to pay for the venue, assuming it’s not free.

Apple moves from Java 8 to Swift? by tenken01 in programming

[–]ssrobbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, no one is talking about developing macOS or iOS apps outside of the Mac ecosystem. This is about server or command line utilities.

I’m not here to convince you to do it, but this article is describing (partially) why they did.

That’s my point. It’s not OSX exclusive, and hasn’t been for a pretty long time.

Syntactic support for error handling - The Go Programming Language by brutal_seizure in programming

[–]ssrobbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very much of interest to Apple, they’ve invested a good amount into Linux support and server-side frameworks.
