  • Honestly feels like the Rockets massively overpaid for FVV… Blazers overpaid for Jerami Grant. We all knew Draymond wasn’t getting a max but 4/100 is definitely lower than the sum I was thinking of - the Warriors got off great in this deal. Bruce Brown deservedly so got the bag. Good for him.









  • Besides the obvious picks (Westbrook, Draymond), I’d avoid Kyrie and Harden because they’re definitely not worth the price they’re asking and definitely will butcher a team’s cap space while either not playing or underdelivering.

    As for role players, Will Barton is completely washed at this point. Considering all that has happened this past season, I really wouldn’t try my chances with Dillon Brooks. I don’t think Kendrick Nunn will ever be his old self at this point.

    Even though I’ve seen a lot of people back on Reddit hate on D’Angelo Russell, I’d say if you can get him for a reasonable amount, do it, because he really did contribute on the Lakers for the small stretch prior to the playoffs.



  • We’d usually gather in the living room and watch movies together as a family, and Lord of the Rings trilogy quickly became a fan favourite. (still rewatching it annually!)

    After that I played Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Battle For Middle Earth 2, although I’m not sure which one I played first.

    We also had the Lord of the Rings animated cartoon on a CD, which was unfinished IIRC.

    Only years later have I finally read the Hobbit (found a great annotated version in the library), but I’ve yet to read the LOTR.



  • It’s due to the way getchar() and console input work. When you enter “abcdCTRL+D” on the keyboard, here’s what happens:

    • abcd characters are added to the stdin buffer and consumed by getchar()
    • CTRL+D (or EOF on Unix, CTRL+Z on Windows) is left in the input buffer (it’s not yet consumed by getchar()!))
    • The console is waiting for more input, and the next time you press ENTER or CTRL+D the previous one will be consumed by getchar()

    Think about this scenario: What happens if you only enter “abcd” and not press anything else? The program will still be waiting for more input. It needs to receive a signal telling it to stop with the input and proceed with the code execution. But if you press enter, it won’t automatically add a new line to the string, because the new line character is still in the input buffer.
