    Forget Bolf, Let's Talk Frolf: The Disc Golf Thread

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    That's not my experience, nor is it Max Power's, nor bankshot's, nor a few other people in this thread. Granted I'm not doing video editing on this machine, but I am a lot more of a power user than most people are and do run a database server, web server, application server, software development...

    Just started to see ads here today

    @AlNipper49 is the only one who has anything to do with ads, but in the past when this has happened it's been because Google ads has altered some default setting or some rogue ad is in play and he has to figure out how to get it to turn off.

    Which accomplishment would you value more?

    The NCAA tournament is also an event that draws in casual non-fans due to office brackets and the like. Between that and the rabid fanbase, the NCAA Finals and even some earlier Final Four games often rival NBA finals games for viewership, and quite often outdraw things like World Series games...

    Robo strikezone: Not as simple as you think -- Baseball Prospectus

    Writeup over here, but they definitely have different zones. There are multiple options for how to set those zones that they're playing with: the Hawk-Eye system includes skeletal tracking to follow a player's height and crouch in real time. They can use that data to set a zone based on the...
