<p>When I took the GRE in 2017, I got a really bad bloody nose right when the test started and I couldn't pause the test.<p>The person monitoring wouldn't let me have a bunch of tissues at the computer (Perhaps due to cheating concerns), so each time I needed a new tissue I had to raise my hand and she gave me one.<p>I didn't end up scoring very well.</p>

<p>One thing I dislike about using Reddit (At least when accessing the main page from a browser) is that I have to be logged into an account in order to sort comments.<p>Was this always a thing? I cannot remember if this was in the case in the past, and I don't really have a Reddit account that I actually log into ever.</p>

<p>I did some googling since I was also curious and found this stellar article: <a href="https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Hydraulic_head" rel="nofollow">https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Hydraulic_head</a><p>TL:DR:
"Head differences of 100 meters or higher are considered high head. In this type of plant, water travelling through the turbine comes from a significantly higher elevation, meaning that the system needs a smaller volume of water to produce an equivalent amount of energy.[1] These systems generally also require smaller turbines since there is less water flowing through the turbine."</p>

<p>There is also a file format called DICOS which is based off of DICOM which is used by the TSA and various inspection systems:<p><a href="https://www.nema.org/directory/nema-councils/imaging-and-communications-council/dicosusa" rel="nofollow">https://www.nema.org/directory/nema-councils/imaging-and-com...</a><p>If you've gone through security at a U.S. airport, the scanners use DICOS format to save scans of your baggage. Someone correct me if I am wrong though - it's possible only a subset of these machines use DICOS, I am not 100% sure.</p>

<p>I recently went through the hiring process for a few companies and while most of them required several technical interviews, one of them never once had me do a coding test. I essentially kept going through the process just to see if they would make me an offer after three conversations (They eventually did make an offer).</p>

<p>Let's try an example with n=4:<p>1 ^ 2 ^ 3 ^ 4 ^ A[0] ^ A[1] ^ A[2] ^ A[3]<p>It might be early in the morning and I am missing something, but it has n-1 as its last index. Any insight is appreciated :)<p><i>Edit: There is a missing number in the array, thus its last index is n-2. Thanks for the correction, OP. </i></p>

<p>There are podcasts for learning such as "Coffee Break French". Basically they start with very basic french and build up. This can be good for starting to learn to listen to french.<p>Regarding the differences between Canadian and France French, are there that many differences that it would make it difficult to understand someone from another region?</p>

<p>I agree. Duolingo is great for learning vocabulary, but if you really want to learn a language you need to supplement this with listening to the language as well as speaking it.<p>I've been learning French and have been using Duolingo for vocab, but then I listen to a French-teaching podcast as well as trying to work on reading/speaking it.</p>
