So this post is one part real and one part hypothetical.

In the last day or two posts have been making the rounds about a man in Belgium who was convicted of rape but given seemingly no punishment. What has striked further interest in this case, is the seemingly accidental breach of a court gag order to keep the offender's identity concealled, after an article was publish which included the offender's name in a picture caption.

Now the hypothetical part. I got crucified in the comments after I suggesting that the offender would be able to sue the paper which published the article and messed up. Of course, the comments all assumed US law, but even in the US I would expect tha

First off, I am a Deakin student but r/unsw is the biggest Australian university subreddit so I am posting here.

I like WAM. Compared to GPA it is an excellent improvement. Unfortunately, the Australian academic system is not setup for WAM and so we basically just end up with GPA.

In theory, harder/more important units earn more credits and so their grades are scaled up by WAM. But when was the last time you did a unit worth more credits than any of your other units?

The third year of my CS degree was far harder than my first year, yet the crappy scores I got in my first year are not out weighed by all the HDs I earned in my third year.

I assume Australia transitioned from GPA to WAM, if

I am trying to set up a protected wireless network using frequency hoping, where the devices switch from one frequency to another every second.

My plan is that I use a simple algorithm which takes the current frequency as input and uses it to generate a new random output frequency.

The problem I am having is how to generate these random outputs consistently, so that each device can stay in sync without talking to each other or using a master device.

Has anyone else tried implementing PRNG algorithms in barotrauma, ideally one that is cheap to make?

I find it super annoying when I path my fleet to an enemy planet and then have my army killed by a random starports that my fleet just ignored.

Is there a way to force my fleet to engage with all starports it encounters without doing so manually?

Is there a mod which treats explosions in water more realistically? Since this is a game in which we see flooding and action in water all the time, I would really like a mod which makes explosions stronger in water like in real life.

I asked a similar question a year ago and a lot of people were a bit confused. Since water is uncompressable, unlike air, explosions in water transmit the shockwave across a greater distance and lose force over distance at a very reduced rate.

I really like the civil war system in CK2 and it seems that the closest thing to faction power in Stellaris is stability. But, stability looks really easy to manage: have enough amenities and suppress crime and your planet will always be stable.

I have only done one play through and I was UNE so may of had it easy. Would you normally see civil wars or are they usually easy to avoid?

As an extra, I hate the civil war system in HOI4 where the player needs to actively trigger one.

I only recently got into this game and am a bit curious about how subject subsidies are meant to work. My understanding is that if I am giving 15% of basic resources to a subject, that value is based on my revenue/gross of resources not net/profit.

Is it possible to make that work? Seems like I am always running a small margin of profit on resources so giving away 15% of my gross would put me in the negative.

I have been seeing articles discussing medical papers that say the average amount of testosterone in men today has dropped about 17% since the 80s (study was from 2007).

If this is the case, shouldn't all men be on testosterone supplements today?

I am nearing the end of my Bachelor's of Computer Science and last trimester took a unit (SIT399) with a very different structure to any other unit I have taken.

The workload was minimal. We only had two assignments and an exam. No summarising the unit content every week, giving reflections on what we learned, or additional assessments for higher grades. It was AMAZING!

I spent like 90% of my time on that unit doing independent study related to the course work and developing my own implementation of the theory so I could get a deeper understanding of how it worked. And I got a grade over 90.

I assume the structure is so different because the same lovely professor has been in-charge of it

I am a third year CompSci student at Deakin [r/unsw seems to be the default Australian Uni sub for some reason].

I hate the assessment structure. Everything is pass or fail and you have tasks due every week - often multiple tasks - for every unit. There is a set of tasks for each grade level and you must complete all tasks below and including your target grade level in order to achieve that grade. You also have to regularly correct and resubmit work if it was not satisfactory first go - because once again, it is pass or fail.

I would much prefer fewer but bigger assessment peices where you get higher grades for higher quality work rather than just more work.

I only started uni in 2021 an
