Easy, bowl 2 overs from each end
broadcasters would not allow this. I agree with your general sentiment, but advertiser usually sneak in 30-40 s of ads in this time, and if we do not change ends for 2 overs, then essentially total break time would be halved. there still would be some small window where bowler will collect their items from umpire, and next bowler comes, so not halved, but more like 30% dip in breaks, and that is 30% dip in ad revenue.
I’m very pro bowling
My man. Game currently is way too much in batters court. Recent ind vs eng match basically was a display of very ipl esque batting and flat pitches. I did not expect a full time bowler, who has bowled atleast 10 overs to have a economy over 6; especially a fast bowler.
Deliberate short run: I like it.
will ask the fielding team to decide which batter they want on strike.
This seems a tad too powerful. Especially, becausee decision that a short run was deliberate or not is still largely subjective (how far do you have to be from the crease line for it to be deliberate or just accidentally short. and if the batter is not looking vs looking at his bat/feet as they approach the crease line)
Now refering to linked article
Also, can we please nearly get rid of umpires call. I kinda hate it. Especially, wickets hitting being less than 50%. If the trajectory known is not precise, then there should be changes done to predict trajectory better. In last 10 years, the measurement has approved, with better/cheaper cameras, which now record at even higher rates (hence, we would have more precise and larger amount of data), but the 50% has been the same. 50% should at least be decreased to something like 10%. Practically, if there is no contact involved with body, bails get removed with any reasonable amount of impact, so even 10% touching would dislodge the bails.
So if there is an appeal for an lbw as well as a run out, the TV umpire would now first take up the leg-before review as that occurred first. In case the batter is out, then the ball would be declared dead.
Thank you, it had to be done.
The injury will need to be evident and visible to the match officials before they allow a full-time replacement. This would not apply for players suffering hamstring pulls or niggles.
this “not applies to hamstring/ niggles” is bad imo, because these are one of the most common form of injuries one can get. I get the idea that these are also easy to fake, but maybe icc officials can allow one (or both) team physios to check the player, and verify if the injury is sub worthy or not. In recent memory, tim david (some ipl match I do not remeber exactly, but towards the end of season) got a hamstring pull. Most fast bowlers keep getting niggles because that is the demand of fast bowling on the body.
yes. And since there was almost no activity on this post, that hints that this community did not really have a active user base, so there would not be huge loss. maybe any posts intended for this community will be going to /c/physics
I am not a drummer, but I did learn something closer to piano.
My 2 cents - Just go and teach. I would have loved if I were taught drums. The children who lost their last teacher also lost some of their recreational activties, and regaining that would be great. Also, DRUMS ARE FUN!.
Do not be afraid. If you think you are not going to do well, maybe try to teach it to some relative or friend or neighbours’ kids first, and make sure it is a good experience for them.
might as well take a safety factor of 2, so I can use τ, which requires less tie to write than π (I am a engineer)
yes, there are “characters” from linux universe (like bsd puffer fish, or krita female something, goat (fsf) and more))
what exactly are you looking for? there are many guides for switching to linux, for example, arch wiki; has enough details for anybody. similarly, there are other distro wikis (fedora/debian/mint/…). But none of them are specifically for switching from windows (10). Most of them do mention that backup your stuff, or mount windows partitions for moving stuff.
If you need something to switch specifically from windows, that is hard. because the way people use windows changes a lot with people. My personal recommendation would be to just search “switch to linux” on youtube, find suitable videos (in prefered languages or target audiences, which are also suitabbly licensed(most linux youtubers release their stuff under some variation of cc, and youtube by default has also some cc license for all videos. you can check about licenses in youtube description.)). Video demos for people today or more approachable, and can also help navigate any issues that might occur during the move. Once they have some distro installed, they can look up distro wikis to build upon.
no (ish), what I meant there was i can manually click through all links in yacy’s index (a bit of a hyperbole). But as I had hinted, I have offline backup for a lot of pages (so it is not a index really, but it is searchable and i can just open pages). I have nearly 0.5 million articles. 90+% is wiki, then arch and programming books/docs, and hopefully more to come. And all of this requires less than 60 GiBs, and searching is really fast (my typing speed is the limiting factor)
I’d be curious to know what your native tongue is
I would not give you a specific language, but country is India
Orientation refers to the same thing as attraction
this is new to me. In my post I used orientation for what I assumed to be gender, but I had no idea it was also related to attraction.
I do understand both points of finding similar folks or possibly finding partners
does your language assume that gay people do not exist?
pretty much. Many old folks consider it as a disease or mental illness.
Do you use the exact same word for a man who likes women (eg a straight man) as you would for a woman who likes women (eg a lesbian)?
That was not a thing, and hence it never had a word/s. basically someone born with a male reproductive part was male, other is female, and that is about it. A male was (is) expected to marry a female (love or arranged(where family finds “suitable” partners, and the bride/groom have little idea of other)).
Things have changed a lot for better in past 2 decades, but much of the “older ways” still remain as “traditions”.
I never confused sex and gender, as you describe them, as I said these do not exist as separate concepts in my natiive tounge. I used different words for them, which while not ideal, do convey the meaning. My questions were mostly regarding gendered pronouns, and having terms for different sexes (as in lgb of lgbt) or genders (t of lgbt), and why do even need terms for these, or why would one like to share it with others.
I also did use yacy for some time, but problem is - index is too small. I could within weeks visit each and every page indexed by yacy, and that is not a good thing
no, libreddit ( a privacy frontend for reddit, third party) was renamed to redlib.
We all got our own shit and the world would be a better place if people could just not be assholes to each other about the little things
If only everyone would get that. Thanks!
old reddit or libreddit (now redlib). If you browse without accout, that should be enough. If you have a account, I would still enable js only for old reddit and not reddit as whole.
No, it is unnecessary, and it would break many auto updating websites, for example, if you use mail in web, then your mail provider has web sockets to get notifications from server to fetch you mail.
I generally would recommend to disable javascript , and have a whitelist for websites you trust (easily achievable by ublock, or no script). If they do not have js, most attack vectors are neutralised. If you can trust a website to run js, you can trust it to run web sockets.
I think giving any terms create a divide (someone in rainbow club, and someone not). If everyone is in the club, then why even call it a club, that is like whole earth. I generally would prefer if we move away from any terms at all, and just stop asking about gender and sex
I did not know that. Thanks!
that was not the part of chain i wanted to refer to. Essentially, my native tongue (or culture in which I was raised), there is (was) no difference between sex and gender, as in, there were not separate concepts. What you guys would call a gender (and this is also partly based on interaction in this chain, where I even ask what does being a male even mean) - users preference of pronoun, or attire, etc is what I called orientation in my op (again, I also said in op that I do not know if that is correct term for it, and it was not).
the paragraph you have highlighted was the only part where I refered sex as sex (the one associated with your partner/s). Other than that paragraph, I mostly (I am guessing here, again, for me concept of gender is new and still fuzzy) meant gender.
I would apologise again for mmy lack of knowledge on this stuff, and this post has helped me understand gender better.
I played super tux kart (or any kind of cart racing game for that matter) and had a great time
I have a script which fetches bib entries for pdfs, and then renames it to my prefered format (names of author (no more than 2) - name of paper).
in case you are interested
#!/usr/bin/env sh newnamefn(){ bib="$(pdf2bib "$1")" name="$(echo "$bib" | grep "title = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1 )" authors=$(echo "$bib" | grep "author = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1 | sed -z 's/\ and\ /\n/g' | head -n 2 | tr '\n' ' ') echo "$authors-$name" | detox --inline } for i in "$@" ; do newname="$(newnamefn "$i")" mv "$i" "${i%/*}/$newname".pdf done
detox --inline is just a utility which makes the file names shell friendly (removes special characters and spaces), but that is optional. Also, technically the
newnamefn
is what does all of the job, and below is just a loop to iterate on all files that are given as input likescript file1 "file2" file3
, where file2 had some special characters, so enclosed in""
quotes. you can also translate it to python, then you would not even require sed and grep (you can just get output in json-esque format). I have a small keybinding in my file manager, which renames all selected files, so I do not have to spend any amount of my mindyou can make it work in any os (maybe use some llm for it), you just have to install
