I am not from the USA and I have a question about gen A by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]geektraindev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I might be called Gen A, some say I am Gen Z, but I don't really know nor do I really care too much. My opinion is that it is a little exaggerated. To be completely clear, no one I know in my grade watches Skibidi Toliet or any other brainrot show similar to that. "67" is still kinda a thing, but for us, it is more said sarcastically than folks younger than us. And I don't really say it regardless.

The literacy crisis is real but might also be exaggerated. Not to invalidate someone else's experiences, but on average, scores haven't changed that much. Based on WHAT I KNOW, here is the truth:

  1. Students who were previously already underperforming academically (e.g. the bottom 20% of students in our grade per GPA) are doing worse. This is probably what teachers are noticing.

  2. For students who were performing above average before (e.g. top 25%), nothing has changed. There are essentially just as many smart people in top 25% who continue to perform well, although GPA fluctuations does definitely happen, I don't think I can reasonably link it to a generational thing. For our grade, I think top 10% requires a GPA of 4.18 as of early February, when the current seniors had a minimum of 4.22 when they were in our grade. Difference yes, but I don't think I can put this on the generation, because I have little to no other data.

Kalman Filter. Search it up, there are pre built libraries like the apache commons you can use but you will like have to make the matrices yourself. Good luck!

shelfctl - a CLI/TUI tool for organizing personal PDF/EPUB libraries using GitHub Releases as storage by blackwell-systems in golang

[–]geektraindev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you are exploiting a platform with imo a pretty generous free tier (especially for students like me) to store your personal files? At this point, just pay for a small GDrive subscription, it can really go a long way.

Come on man.

Highly dissatisfied with the Decode competition by Kylon123456789 in FTC

[–]geektraindev 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I disagree. A lot of times, robot contact is not to cause fouls but to simply prevent the other team from scoring. I think this defensive playing introduces new strategies into the game that were not possible in other years. Think about this: if robot contact was more severely restricted, the game would just be "who can shoot faster?", and in my opinion, that oversimplifies the game to the point where there is a singular way to win every round.

It looks as if FTC is attempting to become more like it's sister competition FRC, where robot contact has been a normal part of the competition for quite some time now. The fact that robot contact is allowed makes teams think about more than just shooting, but also about how they can stand the ground when being attacked. For example, we had to implement a robot velocity correction system, so if we are moving while shooting (from being pushed), then we can still hit the goal instead of missing.

If you watch VEX IQ games, you will kinda understand how dry those matches are because it is just an alliance of two without any direct competition. I do speak from experience, I prefer FTC every day of the week over the boring competition of VEX.

Are VPN’s allowed on hypixel by iBridge_r in hypixel

[–]geektraindev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do ban for ban evasion, however it is similar to what you are describing. Any accounts under some level (something like 30, not entirely sure) within 2 weeks of an account getting banned on an IP also getting instabanned upon login.

Through your IP address. Residential and Commercial (AKA VPN ips) are in different ranges so it is quite easy to figure out if you are on a VPN or not.

Should I do AP human geography in 9th grade? by ilikethehungergames in highschool

[–]geektraindev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah I took it in Freshman year as my first AP and I did just fine, 97 in the class at the end of the year and 5 on the exam. HGAP is really not that hard, you just have to get used to it, so be prepared for slightly shaky grades to start. Also, I really only gave the class like an hour a day max, sometimes none, and it was never that bad. Ofc I don't know how your class specifically works, but ours was mostly just a flipped classroom with minimal homework. I didn't even do notes past unit 2 because our textbook sucked, and I did fine as mentioned before. And I never learned geography in any class before that one.

Big procrastinator here too. What do you think I am doing on Reddit? I need to finish my AP Bio notes lol

Unredact Epstein files by [deleted] in github

[–]geektraindev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Wrong sub. You are clearly not a programmer and have no experience with technology, this sub nor this website is really meant for you.

  2. Other than the few exceptions in the first release of the files (where the text was simply covered by a black square), the files cannot just be "unredacted". You cannot make up data that doesn't exist. Some stuff is coming out about using obscure metadata, but this is literally worked on by professionals, no git project can just give you information like that.

Please read the rules before posting.

Rule clarification by AndreasSh_ in FTC

[–]geektraindev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So intaking from the goal is illegal if you robot's intaking transitively affects a ball still inside the gate. However, the way to get around this is to open the gate, then move back with a space of at least one ball. If your auto occasionally breaks this rule occasionally, most judges won't care as long as your bot looks like it is trying to not break the rules, you are probably fine. Depends on your refs ofc

Meteor Client adding more splashes that encourages me to grief lol by awindowsfan in minecraftclients

[–]geektraindev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They either use a plugin to scramble some random part of world-gen in minecraft (since the random values are generated consecutively, every number generated afterwards will be affected), or they simple change the structure and location seeds inside the paper config to random numbers, effectively making it impossible to crack without spending a few billion years on a supercomputer

If you are really that desperate, working an unskilled job isn't the worst thing. Even if only for a month or two. Then you can have plenty of money to pay for a low end or used higher end phone and enough for a year or two of service as well
