4·1 year agoSo the ones I’ve seen were a combination of social skills/ emotional intelligence tests and the same type of questions you’d find in an IQ test.
So having a degree shows you have the dedication to see your education through. Having a high GPA can indicate you delivered a consistent and honest effort. But the extra test (especially if it’s timed) can show how good you are at quick thinking. One test I took for a job, you would have about 20 seconds to answer each question if you wanted to get through them all.
It can also gauge if you’re lazy (you guess your way through most questions just to get through them) or dedicated (take your time to answer each question correctly even if that means you won’t get through all 60 or so questions before the 20 minutes are up).
The social skills/emotional intelligence tests (if that’s the right name for them) I’ve seen were basically matching faces to emotions and trying to gauge reactions to events.
So for the “IQ” tests, they want people who are not only educated but swift thinkers (more PC way to say it).
For the social/emotion tests, I’ve seen where otherwise smart and educated candidates can be grating to other employees and even drive other talent away.
I ran into that situation. I’ve even personally blacklisted jobs that might be in the same “team” with a specific person at a very big contractor because even if they’re brilliant, they’re frustrating to work with and have no gauge on how to treat fellow professionals.
I use “team” in quotes because despite there being enough work for 3-4 full time developers, I’ve only ever seen that one person on that team. After having worked with them, I have a really good idea why.
Might be cheating with an end credits sequence, but I would say Psycho Pass’ first ending sequence

141·1 year agoMore like unexpected new features, like the all new spontaneous exit row!
Thanks for the correction. I had thought that only some of the early Motorolas had that feature, but it looks like there are quite a few more phones that support analog audio out via USB-C.
From the wiki article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Alternate_modes
Moto Z/Z Force, Moto Z2/Z2 Force/Z2 Play, Moto Z3/Z3 Play
Sony Xperia XZ2
Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei P20/P20 Pro, Honor Magic2, LeEco
Xiaomi phones
OnePlus 6T, OnePlus 7/7 Pro/7T/7T Pro
Oppo Find X/Oppo R17/R17 Pro
ZTE Nubia Z17/Z18
usb to jack converter
AllMost of the ones you can get nowadays actually have a sound chip inside the cable (in the flat part behind the USB-C). So they’re pretty much a USB-C soundcard with just a headphone out. So it’s worth shopping around to find one that has a good soundcard built in.A good alternative is getting a decent portable Bluetooth audio receiver to plug your regular headphones into. Can get a better headphone amp that way.
The worse thing about that whole ordeal was the hypocrisy.
It’s the foaming agent toothpastes typically use (sodium laureth sulphate - SLS) suppresses the sweet receptors on our tongues.
When you drink OJ right after, the sweetness is suppressed and you only taste the bitter and other flavors.
Edit: SLS also breaks up lipids that may be blocking bitter taste receptors on your tongue.
Just let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then reward yourself by washing it down with a cup of fresh orange juice.

This is my go to if I have to score high to pass the class and I’m running out of study time:
It’s 10 hours long.
IMDb link: https://imdb.com/title/tt1910272/
It’s on Hulu, Funimation, and Crunchyroll
It has a really good dub
Edit: Might also be on Netflix in Japan and UK
3·1 year agoYou can tell they composed this soundtrack with something way more capable (like the Roland MT-32 or SC-55) and downgraded it to 3 voices for the Tandy version. Just listen to the difference:
Edit: Direct comparison of QFG3 intros on different sound cards:
Quest For Glory I & IIs soundtracks seemed to be translated with more care to the Tandy/PC Jr sound chip:
Info about their lobbying actions: https://sunlightfoundation.com/2013/04/15/tax-preparers-lobby-heavily-against-simple-filing/
Outside of tax preparers themselves, the industry is reinforced in its opposition to return-free filing by various trade and advocacy groups. One of these is the American Coalition for Taxpayer Rights (ACTR), an organization composed of various tax preparers and makers of tax software. In addition to Intuit, H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt, their membership includes TaxAct, TaxSlayer, Liberty Tax Services and more. It’s a relatively new group, but in the only two years it’s existed the ACTR has poured almost $450,000 into the tax lobby, including six mentions of opposing “simple-filing” in their disclosures.
So far from this old reddit mega-thread:
the most recommended over the services above is FreeTaxUSA
also there’s this tip in the comments:
My tip: turbo tax only charges you at the very end when you go to actually file. So what I do is do my tax paperwork at both turbo tax and freetaxusa then compare the final return (or due) amount between the two. Every couple years, there’s a hundred or so dollar difference between the two and I dig in to find the difference before submitting and paying for ONLY freetaxusa
Edit: Credit Karma was another recommendation, but they are owned by Intuit since 2020:

Don’t listen to these guys, there’s a really easy solution:
- Set you voice mail greeting to the song you want to share
- Share your phone number with your group or post it online to the folks you want to share the song with
- Don’t answer your phone for a few days
This is what plays during the first stage when the protagonist, riding his young winged (and practically flightless) mount, rushes through his village both contemplating the destruction imparted by the game’s antagonists and doing what he can to fight off the enemy stragglers.
Thought the composition did a good job of communicating the chaos and desperation of the stage for the first 40s then settling on the theme at 41s onwards. Most of the bigger opponents are either reach or the protagonist as his dragon can quite fly yet, or are way too powerful.

True on the digit by digit code decryption. That I can forgive in the name of building tension and “counting down” in a visible way for the movie viewer. “When will it have the launch code?!” “In either 7 nano seconds or 12 years…”
If they had been more accurate, it would have looked like the Bender xmas execution scene from Futurama:

I did like the fact that they showed war-dialing and doing research to find a way into the system. It’s also interesting that they showed some secure practices, like the fact there was no banner identifying the system or OS, giving less info to a would be hacker. Granted, now a days it would have the official DoD banner identifying it as a DoD system.
I remember with Windows 95, LAN Manager passwords were hashed in two 7 digit sections which made extracting user password from the password hash file trivial:

Looks like it was worse than I remember. The passwords were first converted to all upper case first!
Can you share a picture of the piece with the fibers in it?
Lithium grease could help if you can get it under the plastic screw.
If the fibers are long enough, you could try pulling them out with needle nose pliers.
If you are going to try to dissolve out the fibers, try a very small amount on the outside of the plastic screw to make sure it won’t dissolve it as well.
Do a search for you server OS + STIG
Then, for each service you’re hosting on that server, do a search for:
Service/Program name + STIG/Benchmark
There’s tons of work already done by the vendors in conjunction with the DoD (and CIS) to create lists of potential vulnerable settings that can be corrected before deploying the server.
Along with this, you can usually find scripts and/or Ansible playbooks that will do most of the hardening for you. Though it’s a good Idea to understand what you do and do not need done.
