Yes it does answer the question. The course and the test come as one. You don't get to 'just sign up for the course'. You could skip the exam but you'd be taking an F and Fs look bad.
The meaning of standard deviation is something you learn on a basic statistics course.
We don't ask biochemists to change their terms because the electron transport chain is complicated. We don't ask cryptographers to change their terms because the difference between extra entropy and multiplicative prediction resistance is not obvious.
We should not ask statisticians to change their terms because people are too stupid to understand them.
Read 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' By Gary Taubes. That book runs through all the historical health data and modern research findings and shows that a Western diet promotes cancer.
This hypothesis (that cancer is inevitable, just masked by other diseases that get you first) is wrong.
There are populations where recorded cancer rates are essentially 0. Some pacific islanders, African populations before westernization of their diets (I.E. eating grain) etc. This simple fact undermines the above hypothesis.
There is also evidence that people get cancer all the time and the body deals with it.
The medical research on cancer is primarily focused on identifying the mutations and chemical pathways that cause cancer to occur and then developing chemicals to block those pathways.
So a productive approach may be to find what it is that is causing people's bodies to fail to continue to detect and correct cancers in the body. Unfortunately, that has more to do with diet than drugs and so there isn't a strong profit motive to take that vector seriously.
I have my apple//e with a CFFA3000, so I can use a USB stick as a virtual floppy disk. I'm going to try my hand at assembling the PoP files and see if I can get it running.
Specifically we needed an undecorated one of decent fabric and about the right size, because getting the fabric involved driving to the other side of town and we would have had to buy more than we needed. It was to be lined with custom ornate tatting, only possible/financially feasible because a family member is an expert in tatting. If she started then she'd be done by the time the baby finished gestating, which is how it turned out.
Maybe you're so bitter because no one made a museum quality tatted handkerchief for you when you were born.
Nordstrom sold us a rather fancy linen handkerchief for a bizarrely low price last year. The item wasn't labeled. We asked the price. They looked on the computer and it was 10% of what we and the guy behind the counter were expecting. He called a manger. They agreed it was on the computer so they had to bite it and sell it to us at that price. He suggested we buy the other one as well, since they were that cheap but we only needed one so declined.
Some places understand that biting it is better in the long run. It doesn't give people another reason to hate them and avoid shopping there.

What can they not afford? Losing the staff or paying them to stay? If the answer is both then they must be making a loss.

I bet they didn't write much code.
Insourcing, not outsourcing.
Since when was I required to do code reading as an exercise? I've never heard of such a thing.
Can people stop inventing stupid new things I must do to be the perfect programmer?
Do not invite me to your code reading club. I'll decline the invitation.

So it's basically the fiber form of DSL.
Confectionery Disaggregation.

Ah, but this is a pre-push buffer.

It's the same thing we've been doing in computers since, erm... the Manchester MU5 days.
There, fixed that for you.
My school CS course wasn't crappy at all. YMMV.
Maybe that it wasn't in a post NCLB US school was a factor in its non crappiness.

>that could cause a shortage of supplicants?
Don't bring 802.1X into this.
>Almost no colleges offer credit for taking AP tests regardless of score so high schoolers have absolutely no reason whatsoever to take those tests.
Perhaps they want to learn stuff. College credit isn't the only reason for doing things.
"The tracer's internal binary log format can be converted into JSON for use with other tools as well."
Can we have it in a useful format as well? Something compatible with grep and awk maybe.

That's a bit passive aggressive. Becoming a mathematics genius Just so you can solve Millenium problems and then refuse the prize money.
Skipping over inconvenient details like the immune system, which is quite ineffective against tigers and lions, but is extremely relevant to cancer.

Not if the different threads are clocked from different PLLs.

Some of us grew up on Sun BSD you insensitive clod.
sysv init scripts are a new fangled mess.

I keep getting shot by the aliens in Oo-Topos.
That's why they charge you for food, water, bags and farting after you've paid for the ticket. Anything except the ticket will be charged extra for.
