Max on submission date doesn't return the corresponding order ID from that row, aggregations are applied separately. That's a classic pitfall that comes up all the time.

I think the intent is fine, it's an interesting problem to want to find the question or set of questions that is the best predictor of the other questions. But I'd have thought there must be heuristics to help narrow the search. F

Indeed it's not a bad thing at all. I remember in the early days of wikipedia it seemed like every single Pokemon had their own article while actually notable real life topics had scant information. Migrating all that cruft to a separa

A reasonable article outlining why sometimes it's worth paying for software and going into detail about what exactly is wrong with the free alternatives. But it's a long article, so I guess I should have just reacted to the headli

I think you've changed what you're meaning by entropy, it isn't really a meaningful measure of "randomness". Afterall, how can U(0,1) be considered to be "less random" than U(0,1000) when U(0,1000) = 1000*

So make that the expectation. Expectation management is a huge driver of quality of life. Knowing how to carve out your niche and not be expected to delvier feature after feature without a break is part of "managing upwards", whic

> a function drawing from a normal distribution is less random than one drawing from a uniform distribution That's some mathematical nonsense. A normal distribution is continuous from negative infinity to positive infinity, so even

Fantastic! I've been working on a project to benchmark different data structures such as this, I'll have to have a go at implementing this to see how it fares.

Yeah Blaster is one of the few worms I've ever (knowingly) been infected with. As you say, it was literally less than a minute or two between connecting an unpatched box and getting it.

But the people they poached included the management which was perhaps the worst decision that T2 made when they created Intercept Games. Furthermore, looking at the demos presented in 2019, it's not clear that much progress was made

It might not use literal code (although it might), but there's definitely signs that some things like the terrain system were cribbed from KSP1, complete with the limitations of that system. Which means they've ended up in an awfu

Indeed, which is I suspect why fandom still ranked so highly above poewiki for many searches for far too long, and initially even appending poewiki would often return no results or just the fandom result. Thankfully there's been a nota

English has "Paternal grandmother" and "Maternal grandmother" for example, it's just not often used and isn't turned into a compound word.

This isn't feasible. Riot tried this with League of Legends and the result was that you'd get players jumping up celebrating 30 seconds before the audience saw the nexus falling, which was incredibly anti-climactic. Imagine if you

Unless you scored 0 or 1, then you might not be "way worse than random", or at least, there is a lack evidence that you are "way worse than random": 2/10 has a p-value of p = .057. Or put another way, the 95% confid

They're trolling, surely. No-one thinks Russia has a more stable government than the UK. They had a failed coup not even a month ago!

They don't, because they have a name (that also happens to be a hash). They lack a convenient name. You can go to any commit and "turn it into" a branch if you so wish by "promoting" it to a branch. My point is that
