This exactly. Aus have really given us a lesson therein over the last few days.

And I’d love to believe that there would be some great fight back. I believe England could do that *in england*. Aus is not a forgiving venue for such, however.

Yeah. I have two streaks of cricket support: England-centric (I want to win the ashes back, kthx) and the neutral (I want a close-fought contest; absolute trouncings are like marshmallows: tasty, fun, but ultimately unfulfilling).

Both have been disappointed so far this ashes.

Ugh I’d missed this news. That sucks, I’m sorry 😞

Yeah… reminds me of the 06-07 Ashes in terms of how predictable the disappointment has become.

I can’t really blame the bowlers when they’ve barely had any rest. That was just a proper test match innings, and to blame the balls will be to take away from Travis Head’s achievement.

I’d bet it’s a codegen thing — I suspect there’s some schema or something being used to generate the crate code and its output is somewhat… eccentric.

The way that the error types are knotty and nested is another thing that drives me bananas.

The below comment is about the Microsoft Sales Team, but I imagine everything at Microsoft is like this right now.
