They do the oil thing because that's one thing that doesn't require a change in rules. But strikes should happen less than 10% of the time for the sport to be enjoyable to watch. It's way more interesting to see a professional bowler strike 2 pins than 10.
There have been rule changes to equipment at different levels to help counteract some of the issues with two handed bowlers, and modern bowling balls.
(Note: I bowl in leagues in the UK, so definitely not at a competitive level).
Back in August 2020 balance holes were banned by the USBC (and therefore applied internationally), which would have a greater impact on two handed bowlers - as they don't insert a thumb in the ball, it gave them the potential for two balance holes instead of one. Currently every hole drilled into the ball must be used during the release of the ball.
More recently certain competitions (PBA mostly) are restricting the use of urethane balls to ban any balls which don't meet a minimum level of hardness. This hasn't been applied at a wider level yet, although it may have an impact over time.
less than 10% of the time? Different pins and a very short pattern maybe could achieve that, but I strongly disagree.
I think that would decrease even further the popularity of bowling as a spectator sport. It would just be confusing to a casual player why the pros are getting similar scores to a player who bowls once a year.
However, if you think you’d like that, maybe look into candlepin bowling. I think their strike rate is above that, but not far above it. An interesting game, id like to try it. I’ve got a few duckpin lanes near me, but candlepin seems like it is specific to a few locations.
Sony ZV-1, Elgato Cam Link 4K, and a few other minor accessories (eg. lighting).
A huge amount of time is spent on video calls these days, and although there are more advanced webcams out there these days - a camera which is geared towards video (the ZV-1 is aimed at vlogging) will produce significantly better video for any calls you're on.
Spending a little bit of time optimising your setup so that you're the one in the call with good quality video/audio is worth it. Get a decent camera, get a good microphone, improve your background lighting.
I have the same setup and find that I can’t use my cam link through my Caldigit element hub as the video freezes. Do you connect the cam link directly to your computer? It seems the cam link needs an entire bus bandwidth to function. :(
Technically CloudFront requests to the origin server are IPv4 only, so there's still IPv4 in the stack even if the distribution has IPv6 enabled.
Personally this is one area I'd like AWS to focus on, along with load balancers listening on IPv6 only (currently it's dual stack). Every load balancer we deploy takes up at least 3 IP addresses - I'd quite happily switch them to being IPv6 only if CloudFront could access them over IPv6.
As someone learning stenography (but with a different keyboard) - try it and see, however your ability might be hindered without the right keyboard, key switches and keycaps.
I bought an ortholinear keyboard with DSA keycaps to get started, which is absolutely fine when you're chording fairly simple words, however once I reached a point where words involved chording multiple keys from the top and bottom rows - it started to become a little bit painful. After switching to F10 keycaps [1], it made a huge difference in the enjoyment of chording more advanced words.
Same here - a price increase makes you reconsider the relationship you've got with the service you're using. Companies should strongly consider leaving existing customers alone with legacy plans rather than aiming to extract as much revenue as possible.
For me Dropbox didn't do that, so instead of happily leaving our existing business account for most team members - we re-evaluated our usage of it, limited it to just a few accounts with the aim of getting rid of it entirely.
At that point it's not something you'd consider recommending it in passing to other people.
Or you do nothing wrong on your server, but another user using your mail server ends up with a compromised password, or reuses the same username/password from elsewhere as their mail login. You wake up and see thousands of outgoing emails in your mail queue, all from the spammer, followed by other users who can't send outgoing emails.
You could attempt to limit the outgoing emails per account per hour, however if that's set too low then you end up with other users who can't send out emails to their "mailing lists" consisting of hundreds of contacts, instead of using a real mailing list to manage it.
The correlation could also be the fact that you've blocked the attack, they can see that their previous attack is no longer working by testing it themselves - so they'll switch anyway, regardless of a status page update.
Is it that difficult to setup, or are people biased against it when something they've got works, and something new doesn't?
When IPv6 doesn't work, it's easy to blame it, turn it off and stick with IPv4 because it works. When IPv4 doesn't work it's a problem that has to be fixed to access the vast majority of services online.
If your DNS can't resolve A records, you'd immediately complain and get it fixed.
There needs to be more promotion of this, as this is the first time I've heard about the version specific classifiers.
I'd have to agree with simonlebo - it's getting harder to find packages compatible with the latest version. Some of these are just slow at updating, but will eventually get around to it at some point. However given how old Django is now, there's going to be plenty of old projects which clutter up search results for packages which are no longer maintained.
Maybe djangopackages.com could add support/filtering to hide outdated Django projects. Or perhaps the encouragement could come in a more official way with a Django Package Index - a site which uses PyPI data, but with filtering biased towards the current released version of Django to encourage people who maintain those packages to get a new version out with support for the latest version.
However the professional bowlers will have the skill, experience and equipment to deal with all the different oil patterns.
