Were these cheaters? On Counterstrike high skill players were routinely accused of cheating (even myself). Although if there's a speed hack or something else silly then it is very obvious.
I never moved beyond CS 1.6, read about CS:GO was some kind of social media and my PC was too slow for it, so I didn't bought it and have not played a game online since..
It doesn't matter.
Starting a PvP game as a new player and being in competition with high skill players or cheaters has the same result. You die early and often, give up and move on to a more enjoyable game. There needs to be a ban on good players, so people who want to enjoy the game can do so. Maybe give them an overachieving_bastard_server option so they can play in a different box.

R^2 is not the same thing as statistical significance. SS is the probability you would get that level of result with the null hypothesis being true. R^2 is the measure of the relationship.
It makes no stupid claims. The report only weak association (e.g. r = 0.15 for one of them).
Meanwhile the journalist Shannon Donohue wrote "Do you prefer your morning joe sans cream and sugar? A new study says you're probably a psychopath with sadistic tendencies.". Shannon Donohue is another bad journalist who's first impulse on reading a paper is to lie about it in an article.
A "single cell battery" is a cell. You only call it a battery because you associate "battery" with one of the metal tubes with an anode and cathode that you put in your electronics to power it. A 9V alkaline battery is a battery because it had multiple cells within. A 1.5V AA alkaline battery is misnamed and is a 1.5V alkaline cell. It's not complicated.
I assume that they don't teach kids these things in US schools.
One day you'll be fifty years old, and you won't be doing technology for funsies. At that point, you'll be looking for the "stablest" environment that requires the least amount of technical apochrypha necessary to accomplish your basic tasks. I have seen so many old technologists move to Apple products for that reason.
I'll be 50 years old before Christmas happens. I'm a principal engineer at a large semiconductor company and I've done techy things in a variety of techy discipines. I use an Apple laptop because it's decent hardware with a unix like environment under the hood. I can bring up a bash shell and write in a variety of languages using Vim and compile my latex all on the command line. My servers run Fedora usually. I have a new desktop (technically subdesk - I build the PC and water cooling loop into the desk to keep it quiet and out of the way) running Ubuntu.
I still do technology for funsies - Messing with my Apple ][, building high tech guitar electronics, writing programs for fun. Then I go to work and get to work on bleeding edge technical problems, designing circuits, analyzing data, scouring research papers generally pretending to be smarter than I feel I am.
I wrote a book in latex, with lots of python code generating data and gnuplot and matplotlib generating pictures. This worked well (try doing a 426 page mathy book in word) and it was all text files, so source control and offsite backup via git worked well.
Would you recommend Jupyter for that kind of thing. Would the output always look like a paper - or could you make it work for technical book writing to eliminate some of the scripting and hand integration done with raw latex?
My experiments were not encouraging, but it's entirely possible I was just clueless when trying.
Jaywalking is not a crime in most countries. Pedestrians typically have right of way over cars. That may sound odd to Americans who haven't traveled, but most countries don't have a word for jaywalking because it is just walking.
So tolerance of jaywalking comes from it being fine in most places.

I don't like anime, but when you do like a few Japanese bands, the algorithm has only one mapping in its hash table. Japanese --> anime.
At least Steam lets you ignore things properly. Even to the point of marking it as such in case you forgot.
Don't keep pushing what your users don't want.
I still haven't worked out how to stop it bringing up early access crap.
US, China, Taiwan, Korea. These places will maintain a position in semi manufacturing because it is strategically wise to do so.
Europe should be there too, but they aren't good at providing under-the-table support for a local tech industry, so they lose out.
The ROG phone looks promising.
Headphone jack, nice screen, a case you can hold and looks cheap while being expensive for added street cred.
Parallel tracks for some of us.

My opinion of journalists is entirely based on my experiences with them. I used to think they were good people.
I was referring to this sequence...

Comparing the p value to R^2. Not the same thing.
I just thought it was all those years of crappy university coffee made me like assembler.
I started with M68k assembler; it was beautiful. Even with only 16MB.
Then x86 Assembler, it's like "WTF are these 4k pages!??"
X86-64 is nice.
I've been doing PIC assembler for the last few years; I miss having memory, lol. :)
I started with 6502 assembler. 68K assembler was indeed a beautiful thing.
I take like 80% milk.
No, you take your milk with 20% coffee.
I take my coffee with heavy cream. Milk is for victims of low fat dogma.
R^2 is not the same thing as statistical significance. SS is the probability you would get that level of result with the null hypothesis being true. R^2 is the measure of the relationship.
This kind of BS discredits the entire scientific community.
Go read the paper http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp...

I was trying to work out if Elon is becoming Trump or just unduly influenced by him.
No. It's the journalists. They are lying. if they were writing about you, you would know they are lying too.
A battery is a collection of cells.

You are wrong. The person you corrected is right.
Bad and good people calling the news fake doesn't imply that journalists are honest tellers of the truth.
>Aside from maybe military combat equipment
Military combat equipment doesn't need a safety margin. It's supposed to be unsafe.
Kids went to college.
Ego Schmeego. That's for psych types.

In my personal experience, the UK (I'm British, living in the USA), France, Malaysia, Holland, Belgium and a few others.
To switch to Ubuntu from what? Fedora, Centos? It would be the right move, even if IBM didn't acquire RedHat
Fedora mostly. Not because it's better. Just because I've been using it daily for 15 years and inertia is a thing.
And I would have to move to Suse. Otherwise I will not get support for the EDA software.
My day job is designing chips, so I use Suse at work all day.
Running the same distro at home as at work is poor form.

I'm going to have to switch to Ubuntu.
