Does anyone know of an online translator that can convert something (like this: \177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\220%\0\0004\0\0\0) to ASCII?
When I try to install java 8 update 11 on my 10.9.5 Macbook Air, it fails and gives me the message "The Installer Encountered an Error that caused the installation to fail."
It should also be noted that I deleted every single folder in the java versions folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM....
There is a lot of dispute among some people as to which one is actually better, and for all my research, I haven't come to any conclusions.
Assuming 50 STR and 50 DEX, +10 with no imbuing, which one is better and why?
So far almost everything has gone wrong with one particular nation. Is there any hope? I trade and have religious influence with all of their cities.
By almost everything I mean:
I built wonders that they coveted
I asked them not to spy on me (after catching them numerous times)
They covet lan...
If you edit another user's message in chat, it removes the reply arrow from that message, so you can no longer reply to it (although you can with the drop down from the left side, but who wants to click twice?). If that user then re-edits his message, the reply arrow comes back.
Interestingly, i...
@Unionhawk There is a fundamental tension in mod abuse between wanting to grasp the immediacy and attention of newlines, while wanting to wait out the timer to avoid reversal. It's part of the art that separates truly great mods from mere pretenders.
Which is to say: Room is too active, so I probably wouldn't have done that unless something was starred a lot.
Star button also breaks. Flag Button too. Basically, the whole control element over on the right hand side breaks. You can still do all of these things from the pop-up frame that comes from clicking on the left hand side of the message. — LessPop_MoreFizz1 min ago
> The Erisian week consists of five days: Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-Prickle, and Setting Orange. The days of the week are named after the five basic Discordian elements: Sweet, Boom, Pungent, Prickle, and Orange.
The main thing is to give some kind of answer and show your thought process. Even if you don't come up with the optimal answer or make a few small mistakes, the other things are more important.
Anyway no amount of me talking about it is going to make you any less nervous, and I'm sure you're preparing and stuff. Just try to relax and do your best :)
There are some people who probably do that kind of analysis but they're really looking for your general problem-solving and coding ability on the interview. If you're not good at stats but you're still smart they'll just put you on a team that doesn't need stats knowledge.
hmm. Just wondering how far an answer like "Stats really isn't my comfort zone. I'm currently taking a machine learning course to try and develop intuition for reasoning about stats questions through a different frame besides 'here are some stats equations, memorize them' " could take me if I got that kind of interviewer.
@GnomeSlice It was kind of hazy to me. I remembered you were mentioning you were moving out, and then you were mentioning that you were with your parents.
My boss-to-be basically within 30 seconds launched into telling me about the job rather than asking me questions about it. It was like she went into it knowing she was going to hire me.
As an interviewer at my last company, the number of times the recruiter told me that a person was amazing and a sure hire and then wound up being unbelievably horrible was unnerving.
I had to be moved out by Friday. Had a phone interview on Monday, actual interview on Wednesday. I left the interview and signed a lease at the first apartment complex that had space.
It was a very stressful week.
Luckily they just needed someone who knew how to use a computer.
I had a kinda weird Microsoft interview. It probably puzzled the interviewer. I was prepping for algorithms-related questions, and then the question he wound up asking me was to write unit tests for a particular situation
@LessPop_MoreFizz Heh, if they will always be coding and coming up with solutions to problems under the extreme pressure most people feel during interviews, then it probably isn't a good position ;)
Interviews are particularly stressful because you are going there to be judged by people you've probably never had any interactions with before
and it completely threw me off. I wrote a function that took someone else's function and an input, ran the function on the input and verified the result based on what it should have been by computing the result myself. But...then he said "how would you verify it without allocating that extra space for computing the result?"
No, I didn't do that. I should have done that. Instead I just basically wrote my own implementation of the function to test their implementation of the function.
My interview experience with Microsoft was dumb. They came to my college for like quick 30-minute sessions to see who was worth doing a full interview for. I was contacted shortly thereafter and they wanted to fly me to Seattle for a full interview. I said "Great, sign me up!" Then I never heard from them again.
Since it was a unit test, I could have tested the function instead with inputs that had nice properties that allowed me to verify the result efficiently. That was the solution he was trying to guide me towards, and even when he basically told me it, I was in such a different mentality("I need to write an algorithm for this") that it still didn't really click.
