@myockey I was a junk ball pitcher since I maxed out in the low 80's so I just took it as a compliment that I was even able to fool the umpire on a pitch.

@myockey Some of the umpires in college were very honest. They just don't want to be shown up. So if they called a ball on a close pitch and you don't argue, they know they missed the call and would even let you know. I heard "I'll get you one back" many times.

Is this a lot? How many called balls and strikes have there been so far?

@myockey When I played in college in one game we had umpires that resigned during the 1999 umpire strike and they were trying to get back into the MLB, so there were pro umpires watching and grading them. Not going to lie they were some of the worst umpires we had that year.

@myockey If umpires have enough overturned calls I think they should get relegated to AAA, then AA, then A. No reason they shouldn't have to improve just like the players.

@myockey Also I think it will force umpires to adjust their strike zone and force them to be more consistent. There are a few umpires in the MLB that are notoriously bad and everyone knows they are bad, but the umpires have a union and they are protected.

@myockey Just proves it is really hard to have millimeter accuracy on a ball moving over 90mph while moving on multiple axes. As someone who pitched in college, you don't care as much about accuracy of the zone as consistency of the zone.

@natedenlinger I would say that a ~1% miss rate in calling balls and strikes is pretty significant!

@myockey They actually have an umpire scorecard now. It isn't just how many missed calls but how much of an impact it made. For example bases loaded 2 outs 3-2 count, calls a strike a ball so a run is scored and then 2 more. Huge Impact. Much better measure.

@myockey 30 teams, most teams had played 3 games by the time of that tweet. Approximately 300 pitches per game but some wouldn't be called (swinging strikes, fouls, hits). So 15 x 3 x ~250 (pitches per game) = 11,250. So less than 1% error rate.

@natedenlinger Yeah, I do know that. I want to know if this represents closer to 0.0001% or 1% of all called balls and strikes. Everyone wants to criticize umpires. What does the data say?

@MilesCraftDev Might be worth looking into an escrow service.

Freelancers/agency owners: what’s your exact line when a client says "We can’t do a deposit, but we’ll pay immediately after delivery"? I’m collecting real scripts that protect you without sounding combative.

@rywalker @pmarca Marling Baits?

@pmarca i watch a ton of random youtube stuff now too - guy testing/making fishing lures, people digging ponds, rewilding projects in england, old videos of people cutting and installing slate cladding or making charcoal - what a time to be alive!

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

I have been building a new app and it is officially launched: clairvio.dev It allows your support/dev team see what users of your web app see and gives you other debugging info (console, network requests, etc...). Here is a quick demo video: youtube.com/watch?v=IVEQPX…

@jackmcdade I would guess 99% of them unfortunately are very insecure wordpress sites with a "church" template running on PHP 5.

Anyone know of any really nice, simple, local church websites? Not looking for megachurch kind of stuff, just down-to-earth people-first kind of churches with great sites.

@flybayer Also might want to look to see how Wails automatically creates Typescript interfaces from the Go side. wails.io

@flybayer Might want to look to see how gin does it. They also use the same validator package and have some nice util functions like ShouldBindJSON() gin-gonic.com/en/docs/exampl…

So far the hardest problem with having Typescript frontend and Go backend is that there is no Zod for Go. And we are heavily using Zod for our new pipeline and module configs. We're currently using go-playground/validator and encoding/json with a ton of custom code on top. And tons and tons of json fixtures that we run against TS and Go 🤨

@wailsapp New version pushed. It now can pull exploits from GitHub Advisory Database. I updated the exploit list stored in the repo to represent that. I now searches for over 5566 known npm vulnerabilities. github.com/advisories?que…

With the frequency of npm supply chain attacks being discovered I made a simple desktop app with @wailsapp that searches your computer for known exploited package and version combinations. github.com/pitchinnate/np…

This could be a bad one: #key-observations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">stepsecurity.io/blog/supply-ch… Here is a powershell script to help search if you have any bad versions installed somewhere. gist.github.com/pitchinnate/99…

@flybayer We have moved as much as we possibly can to Go. Works really well with typescript frontends. Really stable and performance is excellent.

Who has switched their backends from Typescript to Go? Was it worth it?
