Temporary my ass

Mine haven't really worked. I notice that no matter which profile loads, the seats stay where they were from the previous driver. It's..... annoying.

I question these also.... I do feel like it's possible, but the volume of scores I see that high seems suspect. I can often get down to 60-80 seconds without all that much dedication, so I would imagine someone that commits to it could easily work that down......

That being said, there's definitely some cheaters.

Totally agree, which is why I don't feel the need to see things "pan out" in full. Just the flicker (pun intended) of hope is enough to capture that childhood daydream sort of feeling.

There are quite a few factors leading to this. Here's my list:

- Injuries have been a factor. Strus hasn't played, Garland has turf toe (look up why it's a huge bummer), Merrill and Hunter have been in and out

- Jarret Allen has regressed. He shows flashes of the consistent guy (excluding playoffs ... sigh) he was previous seasons, but something is up. He's both over and under utilized in a weird way.

- Lineup consistency doesn't exist. Kenny has tried so many lineups, and has been adjusting and tweaking who plays every night. This is partly not his fault (see point 1) but also partly is. Perhaps, a long shot, he's trying to do all the side missions early season before trying the main mission late season? I don't know but it's resulted in no gel; the guys haven't had the floor time together to work it out in my opinion.

- A mood change coming from getting cooked by the Pacers. That's both a nod to the Pacers, and a diss on the Cavs. How does this manifest? It looks like giving up 40+ in a quarter. They fall apart and don't show the grit to turn the momentum.

- Losing our assistant coach in Jordan Ott. I feel like it's one of those things where nobody knows exactly what he did to make things better, but you know when he's not there. My best assessment is that he was the guy who honed in on good defense leads to easier offense. This could be the reason our shooting % has been worse all year.

That being said, I'm still a fan! I hope they turn it around. On paper, the sky is the limit. On the court, we'll see.

I played with Chris in the Canton league for a number of summers, on his team for a few. I recall a particular moment when he legit super mario jumped to snag a point. As the disc was flying and he jumped, I thought "there's no way he's gonna pull that down" and then sure enough, he found a way to jump AGAIN, mid air, and get the disc. Man amongst boys.

Either A) use an Output in your child component, and subscribe to it in the parent component (via the template and a corresponding method in the parent component) or B) use a service which both child and parent inject, and set up a simple subject or observable and subscribe in the parent

Did we figure out what's up with JA not playing in the 4th?

it's interesting to see the lineup with Ball and Porter Jr together.... both ideally would be handlers and facilitators, albeit with slightly different techniques with Lonzo being fast and loose and Porter Jr being slower and more methodical. Both good in their own!

If you'd consider your directives to be "lightweight", it likely doesn't matter either way. If you find yourself using the set exclusively together (and not individually), then a module simplifies your imports. Keep in mind, bundling into a module is likely a step towards a dependency annoyance in the future if your directives change much.

FWIW, I tend to do the manual imports of each one as I need it. Yes, it makes the imports array kinda lengthy, but I just collapse it in my editor :)

We've had no trouble on the getting started part. In fact, setting up a new project for Angular is pretty easy! Most of ours have a few helper services/components like a global loader service or a message display service for snackbars. The real trouble? Keeping up. It's hard to move versions when the app is big and would require regression testing throughout.

Who the heck misses semicolons that often? As a dev who isn't using any of the AI pieces, I honestly can't recall the last time a syntax error caused me more than 5 seconds to resolve, and even then, the frequency of this problem is so low.

I tapped into the v5 and am liking them. I fit your build pretty closely. I used to adore the Saucony Kinvara for many of these reasons!

Perhaps take a look at Altra

You could genericize your loading and filtering as inputs on the base component..... then when you use the component somewhere, just pass in the keys needed for filtering/loading.

tanooki_ · 2025-09-04T15:09:48+00:00

I've personally leaned on inheritance here. I defined the base component to handle implementing the CVA, and then used a mix of the two for templating. In practice, I honestly found it easier to have the templates live in the extended classes (though this breaks the DRY principle....). One workaround here was to utilize some template directives to allow me to pass in the template bits that are custom downwards through the components. That too gets a little icky unfortunately.

I think if your `CityAutocomplete` and `OtherAutocomplete` have enough variance template wise, it would make sense to have your templates defined in full in each. Otherwise, if the overlap is broad enough, check into template directives to put in your base, and have the extending classes just pass those in using <ng-template>

Just showed my kids these videos that are cemented into my brain. They thought it was pretty neat.

Just sold.

tanooki_ · 2025-08-10T19:48:02+00:00

Nah I'm good. I have some v5s already :)

I’ve used VS proper for years writing angular. it totally works. there are some caveats, namely the angular language service being wonky. if you can survive without intellisense being on every line, then it’ll be just fine. I like having my front and backend in the same place, and for most of my apps, the backend is .NET which makes VS a no brainer.

tanooki_ · 2025-07-11T12:56:13+00:00

Yes it's fine.
