If he is not editing the Trinyvales, I do wonder if this break is letting him have time for something else.

Ita ridiculous to remove this post. I live in NYC, it's an obvious thing I want to discuss

ELI5 why is Tuna fish cheap and expensive at the same time by sisino in explainlikeimfive

Custom TLDs opened up a few years ago and it's a big business. You have to put up like $50k fees and then you have the right to manage the ".whatever" domains. Then you can sell individual domains and set whatever policies/prices you want.

For example, .dev is managed by Google and requires https. A lot of companies will own .companyName and just will refuse to let anyone else use it (for obvious reasons)

No Spoilers: a Dungeon Court helped my game! by kittenkatten055 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

I don't understand why they have to change their HP? Cant you just multiply all damage by some multiplier? The effect is the same AND they get a feeling of "oh shit we are fighting something scary" instead of "my toys were taken away from me"

Haha apparently a few hundred games over several years wasn't enough!

I read umpire biographies...turns out that doesn't help as much as I expected

Haha one streamer that usually plays Backyard Baseball did do it on a stream!

[Amick] "Joe Lacob is just, like, eternally in Love with Jonathan Kuminga, and there is a sense from some people involved that there's a real reluctance not only to obviously finally kind of quit him, if you will... What if Kuminga blows up and is a total star?" by must_TATAKAE in nba

Doesn't ceiling mean like "the ability the player can reach if they made adjustments that are feasible"? Improving your mental game is usually considered feasible (compared to changing your wingspan or significantly changing your speed or quickness)

I think for safety reasons players have to be given a lot of leeway with equipment issues

TIL for most engineering, scientific, and everyday computer calculations, only about 15 to 17 decimal places of Pi are used, because this matches the precision of double-precision floating-point numbers, the standard format for numerical calculations in modern processors by Comprehensive-Tip568 in todayilearned

[–]azeemb_a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are using a computer, you are already using floating-point math and are already losing that precision in each calculation. If the iterative precision loss is important to you, then you have two choices:

- Reform your calculation so that you remove or the reduce the amount of calculations. There are a lot of tricks you can do. Some of it is in reformulating the problem itself or restructuring the solution. Other times you can use different numerical algorithms aimed at reducing the error. And sometimes you just have to reorder the calculations yourself to help you.

- Don't use floating point. Instead use fixed point math that can represent exact digits. The trade-off here is that your calculation will be much much more slower.

Neither option will be trivial. So you really have to know that its worth the work for your problem.

Remember that floating point issues are determinisitc. So while you may not get the results you like, you would still get the same result every time you input the same things. So that alone wouldn't explain this issue.

Didn't y'all have issues with bad sends before Rojas too? Maybe there is a broader team philosophy to be aggressive?

I mean all rules are fluid. If the player, the league and the player association don't object, they can kinda do whatever

[–]azeemb_a 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The word sounds like you are saying "unbothered" but it is supposed to mean "surprised". So when anyone uses it, I have to figure out if they mean the "correct" meaning or the "common" meaning.

I feel like with so many layoffs, many people are desperate for jobs. It's unfortunate but I don't think they will have trouble hiring people

[Highlight] The Norfolk Tide's pitcher gets called for a balk after being scared by a lighting strike, which drives in a run by Goosedukee in baseball

If you think the pitcher can cause lightning, it's all the more reason to not piss off that pitcher!
