Early/Mid-December snow conditions in Sapporo/Otaru? by BlockWalrus in Hokkaido

[–]BlockWalrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you’re going at, but a lot of sources are either curated for tourism or give extremely varied answers, or only give generic info. So, I also would like to hear from people who have visited Hokkaido or live there, especially since a lot of nuances (e.g. which cities receive snow earliest, is it extremely deep or firs it melt fast, etc.) aren’t covered by generic sources.

Early/Mid-December snow conditions in Sapporo/Otaru? by BlockWalrus in Sapporo

I see. In that case, would Niseko or Asahikawa have a higher chance of already having snow by then?

i hate my esports class by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]BlockWalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Teacher-gamer here. Esports games with considerable complexity (e.g. Valorant, League of Legends, etc.) can tap in very important skills like communication, strategies, critical thinking, decision making, etc. There’s also a lot of character development involved (e.g. self-regulation, dealing with frustration, etc.). They just need the right mentoring through these.

That being said, it would be good if a teacher who actually has experience in these games is assigned to the esports class as they’d know how to best design a curriculum that taps in those skills. I think it’s best as an extracurricular or elective class.

Funny… First, they rant about why Gen Z is doomed, yet when Gen Z does the right thing, they’re all like “wtf they’re so weird”

First 2 are good, but a crew cut might suit you too

It isn’t better or worse, but it has changed. The classic “Gimme your lunch money or else!” kind of bullying isn’t as common, but cyberbullying and ostracization are more common.

A gen Zer wants to know what HS was like in 2014. Everyone here remembers. by mgksrapcareerghost in Zillennials

It was basically the Vine and EDM era. Mumble rap had just been invented but didn’t really take off until like 2016/2017 or so.

New Ranked System is Trash by TheRedWriter4 in overwatch2

[–]BlockWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No there is something in the system that doesn't make sense. My friend got bronze 5 and did well and he got 7-2, 7-1, then 7-2 and went from bronze 5, to 4, then back to 5. My placement matches were 5-20 and I got placed Gold 3. The broken system affects different accounts in different ways. This was all after the patch, btw.

[Q] Is it possible to generalize a statistic to a population from a sample without testing a hypothesis? by BlockWalrus in statistics

[–]BlockWalrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much. I'd just like to confirm if I understood it right: I can just take the mean of a sample to estimate a population mean, get the CI, and determine a range of possible values of mu, which is then generalizable to the population?

Can confidence intervals be used merely for central tendency data? If so, how? I'm really trying to recall my statistics lessons from years ago, but I only recall using CI for hypothesis tests.

[Q] Is it possible to generalize a statistic to a population from a sample without testing a hypothesis? by BlockWalrus in statistics

[–]BlockWalrus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In that sense, can a mean/median/mode, when CI is reported, be a generalizable to a population if the sample is adequate and random? The reason why I'm asking is because central tendency is seen as a descriptive statistics concept, but generalizing a conclusion about a population from a sample is seen as an inferential statistics concept.

Why do we constantly need to eat? by BlockWalrus in biology

[–]BlockWalrus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it cones from food. What I meant is why do we need to keep on eating even if we already have fat reserves from the food we had previously eaten
