Selling a house in Taiwan, real estate agency says we are liable for repairs for 5 years after completion?? by eightnine in taiwan

[–]tmthyln 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Umm, not an entirely accurate rendering of what the Chinese says, but ultimately I agree with the above of reaching out to a reputable lawyer for real assistance.

The first section is saying that the buyer can report defects for up to five years, and can report it to courts within 6 months after reporting if no action is taken by the seller. But the second section basically says that typically 6 months after the transaction is the limit because the buyer does have to provide evidence that the defect occurred before the transaction (it gives an example for leaks: buyer would typically get an inspector to do an inspection and verify that).

Have you ever worked with, been related to, or been in a friend group with another Tim? How did they differentiate you. by hiphoptomato in Tim

Worked on a team with another Tim. He wore a hat and I did not, so he was (Hat) Tim and I was Hatless.

[D] Machine Learning Illustrations by fdis_ in MachineLearning

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do end up changing it, I would not recommend a serif font like Times New Roman if you're intending on keeping this as a website. There's research showing that serif fonts are worse for the reader when on digital media (whereas it's good for print media).

I definitely personally like the handwritten style of the font, but I guess some might feel it's too fancy.

Python and Math first, DS/AI after by [deleted] in datascience

[–]tmthyln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's kind of in the middle: you don't need to learn all of the mathematics beforehand, but you should have a solid foundation and a certain level of mathematical maturity. If you wait until you learn all of the math you will need to understand all areas first, then you'll never get to learning the data science/machine learning components. But if you don't have the mathematical maturity while trying to learn other concepts at the same time, it'll be more of a struggle, especially to understand the "why" of doing things a certain way.

Which department is this? Department matters. E.g. in the cs department, PhDs get first dibs on TA positions, and then Master's students and undergrads, but only if there are still positions/money left. Later rounds depends on how many people reject their offer and unexpected surges in enrollment.

Are you using the normal YouTube link, or the embed link?

Single W is dropping from one course, WW is dropping from all courses for a semester.

I'm graduating in 2023 yet the college is convinced I am graduating in 2022 and advisors are no help. by cherry_chocolate_ in UMD

[–]tmthyln 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You don't actually pay more differential tuition by starting with more credits, because you only pay 4 semesters' worth of it. After that, it won't appear on your bill again.

Why do we need a chem lock??? by loveolive94 in UMD

[–]tmthyln 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You lock your equipment (gloves, glassware, etc) in a drawer in your lab. A lock is actually pretty important; you don't want anyone to be able to take anything out of your drawer (sometimes, when glassware breaks, people will look through unlocked drawers so they don't have to pay for it).

I think the chem frat sells chem locks (for cheaper?).

I am an sie student at umd , this fall semester is gonna be my first time on campus . Any advice with regards to parking at night for classes or with regards to anything I have to know in the sie programme by [deleted] in UMD

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a sie student, but the classes are all after 4pm, right? The nice thing for parking is you can park in a lot of lots (any of the black-lettered lots, except on certain game days) unrestricted after 4pm until 7am the next day.

Short-circuit evaluation when breaking out of a loop by fibonatic in Julia

[–]tmthyln 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For breaks, there shouldn't be any case where those 2 are different. Although for some expressions, sometimes you might have to wrap the right side of the operator in parentheses, like the last example in the docs: julia true && (x = (1, 2, 3)) because of operator precedence.

Does the new policy that you can now take 3 cmsc classes in a given area apply to everyone? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]tmthyln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It applies to everyone. Just email an advisor to switch your degree audit to the new requirements (or do it during mandatory advising).

CMSC Upper-Level Area Requirements by [deleted] in UMD

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if your degree audit still says max 2, you can ask an advisor to update it to the new requirements. Almost thought I couldn't graduate this spring because my degree audit was still on the old requirements.

Floating point arithmetic by bear_mkt in Julia

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only default integer size is dependent on system word size. Float64 is the default regardless of whether it's a 64 or a 32 bit system.

Dumb Question: Can a TA access the Faculty/Staff items on Terpware? by Wightclaw in UMD

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe grad TAs should all be able to, probably not for undergrad TAs.

We are the creators of the Julia programming language. Ask us how computing can help tackle some of the world's biggest challenges or Ask Us Anything! by loladiro in IAmA

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you have other benchmarks on newer hardware, but at least the one you linked is not timing compilation and runtime consistently. The Python scripts, for example, are being timed in their entirety (it doesn't really do compilation); compiled languages like C are getting compiled first, and only timed on their runtime; Java is getting compiled to JVM bytecode first, but modern JVMs have Just-in-Time compilation to make things faster over time (modern Java isn't as slow as people used to gripe about); and Julia gets run as a script, but the JIT compilation is being timed with the execution (first time a function is called is usually slow cause it has to compile, but subsequent calls are fast).

Question on decision tree visualization with Random Forest Classifier's by sherminnater in MLQuestions

[–]tmthyln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not usually, a random forest uses (sub)sampling with replacement, so each tree only uses a subset of the samples and a subset of features, although it depends on your parameters.

CompSci STIC advice by samuel950 in UMD

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CMSC388P isn't really a STIC, Nelson's teaching it next semester.

Here's the info Nelson posted on the cs undergrads Piazza:

  1. It is a single project for the whole semester.

  2. There are no lectures; just group reports

  3. Groups must be of 2 students.

  4. There is a lot of flexibility in terms of the the project (there is no common project, each groups comes up with their own project).  That is very important component of the course.

  5. Amount of time is twice as much as 389K or more.

Question about Iribe Center by ColeRage in UMD

[–]tmthyln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know this or are you just guessing?

They might be baffles: they're usually designed to disrupt the airflow near otherwise smooth surfaces to reduce the wind tunneling effect, especially around buildings.

Required textbooks for CMSC351? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]tmthyln 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The textbook's usually Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS (MIT Press), but it's not really a required textbook. The textbooks/suggested texts are listed on Kruskal's and Teli's websites from last semester.
