I don't actually enjoy it much anymore. My nephew really liked it, and playing it every day, ugh...

for why it's fun, it's really because it has extremely varied and interesting level design. every single level has it's own unique concept and the way it's designed has very specific implications for how it's played. the enemies also have good variation that affects how you approach them.

that level of variation along with the sheer number of levels, the ability to have longterm powerups, the possibility to occasionally warp ahead a few levels, all contribute to enough variety that in spite of the simplicity allows the game to be different and replayable.

it's an online game is one reason why you can't pause it. and you can always save and quit if you're in the right situation. the only time it really annoys me is if you're invaded and then you can't even save and quit.

It most definitely did, i think you had to put a particular name in, like with how you use cheats in the game. I remember using them when i played the game as a kid but it doesn't let you play pass America (zone 3).

looking it up, I do see that the game has a choice between Hero and Easy. I have no idea what they do. I've beaten the game, but I don't know for sure which mode I was on, but I assume it was Hero. If Easy stops at after America, I have no idea.

How does that prevent them from being spammed by bots? They never do any kind of captcha, and I almost never see ones that require you to open a verification email. It's pointless to make an account. I don't care that I can "track" my application, because if it actually goes anywhere they'll just contact me directly.

well I can't speak to any particular case. setting up an account is just how default authentication works. if you're saying the account is useless, then maybe it's useless.

They use programs to extract resume data, or at least to search resumes for keywords. Most of them do have some sort of resume extraction tool, although it never seems to put stuff in the right fields (which is why I'm apprehensive about using an autofill tool). But that's really not an excuse, their extraction software just sucks and is out of date. I'm sure modern software could easily extract resume data to the right place.

unless you're filling out a form, an "extraction tool" will never be completely accurate. again, this depends on the case. if you write up a resume from scratch there's no guarantee they can electronically parse it. if you fill out a .pdf or something that they gave you, or follow some particular rules they have about how it's formatted, then maybe they could.

but filling out a web form, they will get entries directly in their database filled in exactly how they want it.

Rockies posted...

Also, what would even be the endgame of spamming a job application site? If it's to get a job, that's going to hurt you at some point if they find out. And how many different resumes can you really try out on one job?

I take it you don't realize how... virulent... the internet is? setting up a public website is just asking to be inundated by spam-bots. there's no motive, this stuff is just everywhere. make something public and vulnerable and it's only a matter of time before something or someone finds it and exploits it.

Rockies posted...

Edit: Just thought of one possible reason, could come from third party recruiters submitting different candidates. But still, the point is these systems aren't robust enough to stop spam anyway

I'd have to see a particular example.

computer science is nice because it lends itself very well to a kind of final "test" where you can apply the concepts you've learned to a hands-on project, but we often find ourselves drawing boxes or hand-writing Java code on a piece of paper for 3 hours instead.

in software engineering, you might be drawing a lot of diagrams. otherwise yes, it's going to be hand written code, which feels really weird and there isn't a lot of preparation for, as well as obviously a lot of math, depending on the specific course. but, I mean, there's no exam easier than a computer science exam, for me anyway. again, it's only bad if you aren't prepared for it. really, comp-sci exams are often *embarrassingly* easy.

for example, some classes (harder math courses are often like this) will teach you concepts A, B, and C. unfortunately, what's on the exams is not A, B, and C, but G, H, and I, which were implied by D, E, and F, which were themselves implied by A, B, and C. and you'd only know that by doing the exercises.

comp-sci is almost never the hard version. you learn A, B, and C, and the exam is A, B, and C. if there's any challenge, it will be in the assignments. which is because that's where you have to prove you can actually program, not on the exams.

acesxhigh posted...

next I'll assert for most people, final exams are incredibly stressful. some students just break down during exam period, you see people crying in the library, it's pretty gnarly. there would have to be a pretty good reason for us to have finals if they're so bad.

I remember taking finals, there's almost always that guy who lets out a huge sigh every 5 minutes, and spends most of his time fidgeting in frustration. but that's a guy who's not prepared for the exam. I've been that guy at least a few times. all you have to do to avoid that is be prepared for the exam.

acesxhigh posted...

typically students will cram just so they can pass 4 finals in a 2 week period and then forget everything anyway.

'cramming' shouldn't be necessary. heck I don't even 'study' for exams. that's not what I mean by prepared. the trick, that I admit took me a long time to learn, is that the whole point of all of this is to make yourself an expert. the problem with school is treating it like this game where you learn things and then are tested on it, and how well you played the game determines your score/grade. that's not how to look at it.

if you're an undergraduate, it's your 'job' to make yourself an expert at whatever field you're pursuing. that's the goal of being a student. this is why it's important to select a major that you're compatible with.

at first this is really hard, because there's just so much to learn. but if you focus on becoming an expert, eventually you get to a point where it's the opposite. you start yearning for new things to learn. what is left to learn that I haven't already covered? then you become *eager* to take a new course that teaches something you don't already know, because that's what you're there for. if there's something to learn that you don't already know, that's what you're craving!

(and then getting into graduate school, you begin to reach the limit of what there is to know about your field, and it starts being up to *you* to push the field forward, if you can.)

so, with the mindset of "it's my job to make myself an expert", when you take a course, don't approach it like you're playing a game where you see how little work you can get away with and still get a good grade. approach it like this is an opportunity to become a literal expert at this subject. read the damn textbook. do the assignments as well as you can and use them as tools to identify what you're missing, and then fill in the gaps. master the subject and the exam is cake.

yeah this is pretty much bullshit. like, I disagree in every way. even if you are interested in a subject, the professors will attempt to suck all joy out of learning it. mostly through final exams, which are nothing short of an institutional torture device with no logical excuse.

not sure what you mean, I love taking exams. an exam you aren't prepared for is, yes, pretty awful. an exam you ARE prepared for, though, is awesome.

Dikitain posted...

Starts off pretty easy, gets more difficult around years 2 + 3, then the last year is pretty much a cake walk

this though, I feel the opposite. some first year courses are designed to cull a lot of students quickly, so you have to be careful about that. second and third year are just straight up 'learn this stuff and prove you learned it'. 4th year starts getting into nigh-graduate level stuff, where everything has an annoying group project and/or presentation attached to it. for me that was almost impossible to get through.

That's because (for the most part), you can CHOOSE what classes you want.

this, sort of, but not necessarily just because you can choose easy ones and avoid hard ones, but also because you can choose ones that fit you personally and avoid ones that don't. I sure as heck wouldn't pick English and Psych, for example.

but when you're actually interested in and skilled at the field you're taking, it's a breeze. you're getting credit for learning what you already want to learn and enjoy learning anyway.

"First, do no harm" has never been an absolutism. Virtually every medical treatment involves inflicting some sort of harm on the body, with ethical practice demanding that the benefit outweigh that harm. Here, the choice is between helping somebody who - in sound mind - wants to die to achieve that end, or continuing to pour resources into saving the life of somebody who doesn't want to be saved. There's a pretty solid case to be made for calling assisted suicide the best harm/benefit trade-off.

depends... 'do no harm' is 'don't increase suffering' not necessarily 'strive to reduce suffering'.

the cost/benefit of normal medical treatment is to improve the person's *life*. to attempt to maximize the quality of their life, not to remove their life.

I'm not arguing for or against, but your analogy just doesn't work. normal medical treatment is an attempted improvement of quality of life. assisted suicide is a whole other thing, where you accept that quality of life can be low enough that life is not worth living at that level. that's a completely different concept.

I guess you're trying to get people to respond with "lol casual" or something, but I definitely DO appreciate it when there's more content on the harder difficulties. Goldeneye having more mission objectives is a good example. I also remember in Buster Busts Loose, that there were more levels on the harder difficulties, and it sure made it a lot more worth playing on hard.

it's similar to the death penalty, where the idea sounds good, maybe, as long as the error rate is zero. but the error rate will not be zero...

one obvious one is, not everyone has a T personality type. about half the population has F personality types, meaning they make decisions based more about how they feel and less about what's logical.

aside from that, you probably don't know what it's like to have abusive tyrannical parents. it took till I was like 28 before I could honestly believe that I actually had a future and the world wasn't going to end in the next few years. even when I consciously knew that was stupid and just bullshit, it still takes an incredible effort to reprogram yourself at a subconscious level.

go look it up. search for how to fix settings in a specific game. it'll always say delete the config or settings file.

it depends on the game. normally what it will say is "always remember to make a backup before changing anything", and sometimes there will be a default.ini that you can copy to restore defaults. and if the game is programmed for it, it will auto-generate a default or copy one from default.ini, etc. or if the game is not programmed for it, you'll just get a CTD. it depends on the game.

but even so the right advice is not "just delete your config file", at best it's "rename your config file to .old" or something.

I do agree that the guy instantly saying it broke both games and then instantly forgetting he ever said that seems pretty phony, especially without asking for help either way, and without giving us almost any information whatsoever about his problem. but if he's fake, then considering your behaviour I wouldn't be surprised if it's just you talking to yourself in this thread.

deleting a games configuration file just resets all settings for the game to default and remakes the config file. it absolutely cannot make a game stop working period.
