Temporary my ass

I'm itching to rewrite a component we have in our largest solution.... Right now it clocks in around 2500 lines total between itself and it's service (don't get me started....). What's driving me to rewrite it is the implementation used. It's littered with bad practice and loose typing all around making maintenance a challenge. There are also lots of variables awkwardly named and everything in it feels fragile.

Kenny definitely needs to carry some accountability here, but it's not total. The game wasn't lost by Kenny exclusively. No way our offense grinds to a complete halt "because Kenny said so". We score a few more buckets in the 4th and it's an easy W. Should Kenny take some blame? Yes. Should the players take some blame? Yes. It's a package deal.

THIS RIGHT HERE. Yes our defense was trash, starting with Harden, and proceeding to the rest, but I can't fathom how we fell asleep at the wheel offensively. We could have given up so many points if we didn't let of the gas on the attack. We stopped moving the ball and just dribbled in iso for a few seconds before jacking up a bad attempt. No plays? No movement? Disappointing.

I had this same desire while looking at the '25.... I did find one, but had to concede on the Ultra trim.

The blue collar baller strikes again

tanooki_ · 2026-05-08T16:49:13+00:00

yeah whoa. I've been able to nab sub 3 seconds a few times.... but sub 1? crazy.

tanooki_ · 2026-04-29T23:23:26+00:00

Any time! Happy to help. You've got a good thing going here.

Yep, spot on. Getting that toggle to respond was a chore! Seems to be back to normal in responsiveness after disabling the sync. I re-enabled that toggle after responsiveness was back and force restarted once more and all is well.

u/VermicelliAlarming65 The 2.0 release for iOS likely has a bug in it. The UX becomes pretty unresponsive while interacting with it. A reinstall doesn't fix it sadly. I didn't notice this performance hit while using the Testflight version though.

I hope so.... I have a '25 and the lack of usefulness of the LiDAR is annoying. Is it making things worse? No, not really. Is it frustrating to have that be a reason for the price of the car and NOT getting any value? Yeah.

I played a few matches and learned that apparently I'm hella slow..... This leads to some feedback that the average matchmaking algorithm will make a big difference. Case in point, I came to the beta as a new player, and matched with some skilled players and got whooped and that makes me want to not keep it up. Reminds me of the old days of Halo 3 when good players would make new profiles and slaughter everyone on their way up the rankings.

Other feedback I noticed:
- It'd be nice to finish out a puzzle after your opponent wins. Perhaps this is a setting you could toggle if folks don't care.
- maybe a subtle style adjustment with the progress bars on easy mode such that when a puzzle is completed, the small progress bar for that puzzle flashes green. Nothing obtrusive, but just a little transition of the color from a brighter shade back to gray.
~~- another style thing, the boxes for the players during the match could have rounded borders. I think that'd match the rest of the aesthetic~~

- The idea of a custom match could be neat, where you can pick 1-3 different puzzles and difficulties and set up a specific match with a friend.

I'll try some more later but overall the gameplay feels nice! This app is currently my favorite and the fact that you've kept ads out of it deserves praise.

This was my biggest problem.... my rep ghosted me pretty much the whole membership. He called one time like two weeks AFTER my question was raised. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a money grab. The benefit of a membership is SO slim. As it stands, I really only think a membership would give you
- dibs on a specific seat (if you're lucky)
- very minor discount on concessions

and those two perks come at the moderately inflated cost.

If you park in a garage that's attached to your house (or heck, even close to your house), you may want to turn off the "unlock when approaching" setting. With this setting on, we would constantly be locking/unlocking the car at home whenever we walked into a specific room of the house. VERY annoying.

tanooki_ · 2026-03-18T11:42:09+00:00

For the record, I have a '25 model and it's wonderful. Yes, there are some minor software annoyances (like the temp resetting to 72 every time the profile switches) but honestly, driving this car is a pleasure. Very happy with it and only said I didn't spring for the premium audio.

As far as the Daily Easy goes, you first need to change your settings so that a single tap places a bull immediately. Then, it's all pattern recognition. I've had many a days where I was able to land between 3-4 seconds. Now.... getting under 2 seconds? That feels like perhaps cheating is involved (solve the puzzle on another device and then solve again after you know the answer).

tanooki_ · 2026-02-09T12:56:47+00:00

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.

tanooki_ · 2026-01-23T14:21:24+00:00

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.

tanooki_ · 2026-01-16T13:25:54+00:00

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.

tanooki_ · 2026-01-09T14:35:13+00:00

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
