Citing removed web pages.

Suppose an article is written and cites few web pages to make a conclusion. Years later, those web pages are no longer accesible, not even via waybackmachine.

In these conditions, does the conclusion hold any scientific value? Because now the presumptions from those web pages can no longer be verified (since those pages are inaccesible).

And as a last question, if the web pages aren't accesbile via waybackmachine, but screenshots of those pages exist, along with the content referenced in the article, does the conclusion have a scientific value? What if those screenshots are fake?

Engineers in r/matlab not different than redditors

While not the best example, this still illustrates Reddit's behaviour.

Context: The one wasting OP's time is upvoted, the one calling they out for wasting both's time and other behaviours is the mean one, while the waster of time behaviours are not re-evaluated. The mysterious down voting is in the third image.

And if I broke a rule, all I can write is these rules cannot be viewed on mobile, no matter what I press.

Printing a hexadecimal value prefixed with 0x

I have to print in hexadecimal with big letters value variable of type uint8. I am using fprintf(1, '%#X', value), but the 0x prefix is in upper case, while I want it to be lowercase. How do I achieve that?

I know I can write instead fprintf(1, '0x%X', value), but I want to do it by only modifying the formatting operators. And using fprintf(1, '%#x', value) doesn't print value in uppercase.

Writing to the wrong file

I have the following Matlab program:

syms t positive;

Z=laplace(exp(A*t))

ccode(Z,'file','cCodeTest.c')

I want to write the Z function to cCodeTest.c. The problem is that code is written to ccodetest.c, created before.

How to write Z to the cCodeTest.c and not ccodetest.c?

Finally SWOT's 4 description no longer lies

https://preview.redd.it/tnfoa6akt3ih1.png?width=698&format=png&auto=webp&s=d94f851a38520223e5afe268984b6a9a912c27dc

Before SWOT taunted enemies even when Temporal Eclipse is active; which when you read the description, it shouldn't happen. Now SWOT only taunts if 4 is used when Temporal Eclipse is active.

To be fair, for those who knew how to read this class descriptions, there was nothing contradictory. In short, I would describe it as "what is before Temporal Eclipse makes part of the skill which name is before /; what is after Temporal Eclipse makes part of the skill which name is after /". So of course Focus wasn't part of either Silhouette, nor Shadow Warp, and it will apply regardless of Temporal Eclipse presence. You can deduce this rule when you read the other class descriptions. I may be dumb, but for new players to the class, that description was a lie when it came to when Focus is applied.

But I can not help but to notice that AE doesn't call this bad writing (for those new to the class at least). They call it a bug.

And they needed a year to fix it since my report (which they never replied to).

How do I make Dependency Analyser report where an overloaded operator is used?

I have a class with 2 operators, which one of operators (O1) uses the other operator (O2).

I generate a dependency report via Dependency Analyser, but the report doesn't tell that O1 uses O2 (in Impacted Files O1 references itself; same with O2).

How do I make Dependency Analyser report that O1 uses O2?

"Input argument to validator must be a constant value" error

In MATLAB R2020a I have a class with

properties

property (1,1) logical {mustBeMember(property, true)} = true

end

In MATLAB's editor it notifies me about "Input argument validator must be a constant value" error. When I try to construct an instance of that class, I am given the error "Validator arguments must be either 'property' or constant literal values."

How do I fix this error? It doesn't work if instead of true I write [true] or {true}.

Is the Coyle animation Blood Drive task completable only if the secondary objective is not completed?

I had someone in a party trying to complete it. He has done all of the requirements, but still didn't got it. My theory is that the task didn't register as complete, because he donated the third of his sample when the secondary objective was already completed.

This doesn't apply to solo, since there you need to donate 2 times, so the third donation is already after the secondary objective is completed. But playing in co-op changes the rules apparently.

Is there a way to know if an imposter who doesn't fall when triggers a blind mine used Stim or the game bugged in his favour?

Such case happened in the season 6, when sometimes an imposter could step on a Blind mine and not fall. And back then there wasn't a Stim.

In season 7 this also happens, but I don't know if it is because the imposter used Știm or the game bugged on Imposter's favour.

Conversion failed!

In Matlab R2020a, I want to convert 0xffffffff00000000 to uint64. When I wrote it in Command Window the value alone, it is already an uint64, but when I write it uint64(value), I simply get Conversion failed! error, with no additional text.

Don't press random buttons in Win the Truth

Sometimes I play Win the Truth in a group, someone has chosen their room to search for, they go there, they go to introuce the number, as like they found their number; spoiler alert, they didn't.

If you don't know or aren't sure on what a number (for a symbol) is, don't press anything. We can somewhat tell if you introduce a number at random, and the ones who find numbers see that for a room a number was introduced, they assume that number is correct, press the button to finish the round, then worry what is wrong. I don't know about others, but I don't remember the numbers I introduced for other rooms; so if such thing happen to me, I need to do the whole round again.

In conclusion, don't press random buttons there. You aren't at school or university to tell the professor everything you know when you don't know the response to the specific question. You will not get partial grades for it. If you don't know the answer, don't provide an answer. Otherwise you mislead the team and the team is penalized of no fault of their own.

Should I change the highschool?

I am at highschool and recently I have discovered something that makes me uncomfortable and makes me think to change the highschool.

I have a class colleague which is a loser in its true form. He doesn't talk to anyone, doesn't know what McDonalds and KFC are, not he can pronounce them (his excuse is that in his hometown there aren't such things; sure buddy), doesn't have enough money to go swimming pool or to eat in city, he tells the professors when someone copies in examns, is introverted, is bullied (no tears for him), etc. He is socially isolated by the class.

Last year, we wanted to go to McDonalds. He asked if he can go, and we, from mercy, agreed to him. I had a fear of who will pay for his meal, but I hoped he had money that day. We arrived, we commanded our meals, but shortly after he, out of nowhere, just got up and left. No word, no excuses for his behaviour, no nothing.

This year he was the only one who didn't have any classmate to be of school's service, so his colleague for that day was someone from another class. Before a classmate told him that he will be left out if he doesn't chose a classmate for that day, and he agresivelly said "perfect". A month after, his colleague came to our class, and our loser just stared at him with malice, so he left. He never returned.

Sometime ago, I asked him if someone arrived. He responded, but with his gesture he also transmitted something along the lines of "don't talk to me". Like what? He is the loser, I am not, and he should be gratefull someone gave him attention in any form.

In some day, he was bullied again, some classmate stole his thing and run away to school halls, the loser didn't catch him (then he ask we why we think he is a loser; ok?), and he randomly harmed a classmate who was on his table. His action was nearly lethal for the colleague. Then he began to cry (I didn't knew he was a crocodile when crying).

This would be the end of the story if the teacher that has shown up didn't take his position and scolded us. Sure madam, we weren't the one to harm him though.

Then, our class went to a spectacle in city, together with a teacher. The class boss asked him how he feels there, he answered in a toxic tone, the boss told him he just asked, and he replied even more toxic that "and I responded". After that I looked at him few times, and he was visible not well.

It followed sometime after with the boss asking him something, and he, the loser, told him peevishly and toxicly "you shut up". He wasn't someone who bullied him, so I don't know why he was agressive towards him. And even ifthe boss bullied him before, again he is the loser, so he deserves this.

Still sometime ago, some classmate also asked him something, but he just stared at her with malice, until the other person just left. I mean, what the heck? I kinda understand doing it to a boy, but to a girl?

Then the real fire power began and what I didn't knew until recently. When the class teacher doesn't come to teach the lesson, the loser just takes his things and spends the rest of the hour alone, somewhere in the scholl. Some colleagues, 2 boys and 1 girl, went to buy something and they found him. Then he agresivelly told them to left him alone, because "they make him only problems" (distorting reality much, buddy?, you deserve to be bullied), and he went away from there. He didn't made it far in the slightest, since the girl approached him, but then he suddenly grabbed her by the hands, they spun around, and he let her go. He didn't punched her or harmed her though.

Then they talked and he told them that since he moved in the city, those here just made him problems, not only we, the classmates. I don't remember what else they talked about. They tried to calm him down, he was physically calmed down, but on the inside, their efforts were futile, as he made it clear he still viewed them as enemies. They went to the class, an I saw her being affected, but back then I wasn't interested why.

What should I do in this situation? To risk another year of him to explode at random moments? And to explode his fustrations on potentially me?

I don't want the to change the class or the scholl. I like it here and the collective. He needs to change the class (or the city even), but he hasn't done it in 2 years; why will he do it now?

I told this situation to an adult. While he agreed he can be problematic, he also said we have our fault in this. Like we didn't integrated him, we bullied him, and no wonder our efforts to solve the problem is from now on futile; since it is too litlle and too late, when we already have shown our true nature. Like what we were supposed to do with a loser who doesn't know what McDonalds and KFC are, doesn't talk to anyone and he doesn't have money to go anywhere?

I am also sick of it being our and my fault. What fault do we have? What fault do we have that he is suffering, but when someone tries to help him, he is toxic, soon to be violent? Why should I be the one who changes the highschool, instead of him changing the city? Why should we change for a loser that he is?

Depunere candidatură și politici interne

Deși poate pentru unii e cultură generală, pentru mine e un șoc că văd un anunț, aplic atât prin site-ul de anunțuri, cât și pe platforma companiei angajatoare, dar nu mă cheamă la interviu in veci vecilor, pentru că politica lor stipulează să-i intervieveze pe cei care au candidat prin LinkedIn. Și bine înțeles, că puletele habar n-are de acest lucru, și așteaptă mult și bine, că n-a aplicat pe LinkedIn.

Să mai amintesc că a stat o oră să-și refacă CV-ul pe platforma companiei, doar să nu primească nici măcar o acadea pentru asta, ca să zic așa? Că ce să vezi, îți dă posibilitatea să le dai CV-ul, dar reintrodu manual ce scrie în CV-ul pe care l-ai încărcat.
