@INTERGAL4CTUS wait, he does?
guess it’s time to re-read
English
i read the book and literally the reason why rocky had so much extra fuel was because eridians didnt know about relativistic physics. they thought time and distance worked normally (using the newtonian physics) so they calculated the trip all wrong. at near light speed, time slows down and distance actually gets shorter, so rocky ended up using way less fuel than expected. rocky's entire mission was based on wrong science and somehow that mistake is exactly what saves grace. #projecthailmary
lara@silqco
one of the most powerful scenes in #projecthailmary for me is probably the scene where grace kept saying he made peace with it (dying in space) and rocky hearing about it and refusing to accept that, then giving him a solution to go home. sacrificing 6 years of time just so grace won't ever have to die like his crew. what's 6 years of time to lose when you've been in there for more than 40 years? then we see grace's barrier breaks because he never really made peace with it. it's fucking scary. he never chose it in the first place and he had to live with that. then rocky gave him that choice (to go home) and he finally had hope. yet in the end, between choosing to go home to resume the life he had. he chose rocky and built a new life with them. man i'm gonna be thinking about this film for a long time.

@silqco The book explanation is solid and well explained. But in the movie they gloss over the relativity explanation. It's mentioned but it's vague enough that my wife assumed that Rocky was planning to go slower, taking an extra 6 years, conserve fuel, and give the extra to Grace

As much as I bashed Biden, this one physically hurts.

@e_v_a_n_stewart @BeatinTheBookie Yeah, you're wrong. Dead heat only applies to players who didn't *cleanly* place within. Anyone at -3 would be dead heated and anyone with a better score is a full payout
English
@BeatinTheBookie It doesn’t matter. 20 players are all in the top ten. The odds are based on if 10 players made the top ten. A casino is not going to give you an arbitrage opportunity
English
BAD BUSINESS 🚨🚨
A client had Horschel R1 T10 +750. He’s T4 right now at -4. Next place is 7th at -3. So he’s clearly inside Top 10, no dead heat. Hard Rock Bet dead heat him, even though it doesn’t apply…their response to him? Even worse! Unbelievable! Stealing money!!

@PiggyBankBet Even in the same state diff ppl can have diff SGP odds, don’t get how it works
English
I know other books have done this, but FanDuel offering PA customers +6279 for this 2 leg SGP but Colorado +7487
Same exact bet
I thought FanDuel SGP odds were the same in each state?

@roiguy123 You would be a productive engineer, but your peers would question a lot of your decisions

If someone who doesn’t really have any programming knowledge was transported back in time 5 years, and they had access to Claude Code but nobody else did.
What is the most they could do with it?
Could they be a successful developer? Make millions creating apps?
How big of an advantage would you have on the public simply by being the only one with access to this tool?

@AdamSchiavone @brownsonjacob2 You argued with me, homie, not the other way around.
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 ...... as already stated I'm well aware of this and didn't need you to explain it to me
I'm also not arguing otherwise
You're having a fight with yourself
English
Random thought of the day. It doesn’t sit right with me that you don’t get an RBI if the runner scores from 3rd on a double play with no outs.
You still batted them in.
English
@AdamSchiavone @brownsonjacob2 But it is the point. The batter doesn't get credit for an RBI because the defense happily traded the runner in third scoring for two outs.
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 Not the point but this is boring
English
@Buttafingazz_ @brownsonjacob2 Expected runs aren't mythical. They're based on real data and are predictive of how an inning/situation is going to go. Of course you need to convert, but turning a situation where past teams scored 1.76 runs into 1.09 runs is suboptimal.
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 If you can’t understand that it doesn’t matter how many good positions you get yourself into in a game, you still need to capitalize and score the runs, I don’t know how to help you. Runs scored > expected runs. “Dude look how many runs we should have scored! We’re the best!”
English
@Buttafingazz_ @brownsonjacob2 If you can't understand how expected runs translates to winning or losing I don't know how to help you.
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 Ahh yes. I love when my team wins the game on expected runs. Oh wait…
English
@AdamSchiavone @brownsonjacob2 I said "essentially" did I not? Is 1.09 less than 1.76?
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 This would be different than zero, would it not
English
@tadstone @brownsonjacob2 This is not accurate, as you’re asserting that your run expectancy for the remainder of the inning afyer this happens is 0
English
@InquiringBob @BullHairTrader @javarevisited The same way that every web site on the Internet works, you hash the password on creation and only store the hash
English
@BullHairTrader @javarevisited Nah. You don’t know the passwords. That’s the point.
How can you hash a value you damn well better not know?
English
Technical interview question:
You have 500 million passwords.
You need to check if any two users share the same password (without storing passwords in plain text).
How would you approach this securely?

@yankeesfan1213 @legob68 @JohnWick2FN @TDCorral08 @Skunkii_Plays He's saying in the event that any player bet stands, regardless of starting or not
English
@legob68 @JohnWick2FN @TDCorral08 @Skunkii_Plays No it wouldn’t it would still be void. It specifically says player must be in the STARTING LINEUP
English
So FanDuel don’t count pinch hits now😑
