Win, lose, or draw: trends in English football match results

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 14:23:55

Is the game getting more exciting? Football (soccer) fans like to see exciting matches. Draws are boring but wins or losses are interesting; fans want to see teams give their all on the pitch. Which begs the question, is the game getting more or less thrilling over time? One way to answer this question is to look at fraction of matches in a league that end in a draw. The most boring extreme is every game is a draw (draw fraction = 1). The most engaging extreme is that every game ends in a win/l

ZDNET's key takeaways The Ridge Bolt Pen's starting price of $59 is less than when I bought it, but it's still a fantastic gift for the writer in your life. It features a grippy design that makes handling a breeze, and the ink moves smoothly across paper. Of course, the one and only caveat with the pen is its price, but I've found it to be well worth it.

Don't plug these 7 appliances (including AC units) into extension cords - here's why

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-08-01 18:23:00

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Extension cords are generally a safe solution for running power to electronics that are too far from the nearest wall outlet. But the operative word here is "electronics," which is not as all-encompassing as some people might think. Appliances (like refrigerators and toaster ovens) are obviously electronic devices, but they're in a different class from most electronics because of the amperage demands they need to function. Why you shouldn't plug everything into an extension c

A Recession Could Be Hiding in Plain Sight. Here’s the Best Advice to Prepare

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-01 16:00:00

Recession risks are down, but keep your guard up. Getty Images/Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET In April, recession fears surged after President Trump began his chaotic tariff campaign. Forecasts for a severe economic downturn hit 66%, according to Polymarket. As Trump deferred some of his most aggressive trade proposals, those forecasts leveled out, but the contours of a potential recession are hard to ignore. Growth in the first quarter of 2025? Down. Jobless claims? Sharply higher. Consumer sentiment

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-01 18:15:02

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

When Sigterm Does Nothing: A Postgres Mystery

In my opinion, the worst bugs are the ones you decide not to look further into. Maybe the problem only manifests 2% of the time, or when you run the code on a particular brand of toaster. Maybe the customer doesn't supply enough information to begin narrowing down the cause. Maybe you just don't have enough time to track the issue down fully. And everyone eventually moves on.

Typical DEWLine Stations There were two types of stations, Main and Auxiliary. The sites were placed approximately 100 miles (160 KM) apart, along the 69th parallel about 200 miles inside the Arctic circle. Originally, there was a third type of station called an Intermediate site (I-Site), located midway between each of the Main and Aux sites, and would have been home for about 5-people. The 28 I-Sites proved ineffective and were abandoned in 1963.
