Nah, I was just kidding. Unless there are similar events occurring during a lot of time, making those reindeers that prefer staying more separated and in lower areas have a significant advantage, and these preferences are hereditary...

No, that is generic continental breakfast or even English breakfast served in some hotel.

This is more typical:

Lots of people of course resort to cereals or some dessert (croissant, waffles...) but eggs and bacon is really weird. A toast with something on it (olive oil, butter, jam, the aforementioned "pan tumaca") is way more common.

I wonder how intelligent it is, since I do not feed that much data to Google Calendar, just the things I know I'm going to forget. Almost all of those empty hours in my Calendar are actually busy.

As an amateur, I've always wondered if reinforcement learning could work with games where there are some probabilities in place (e.g. poker). What happens when the action taken is a good one but the outcome is negative due to bad luck?

ETFs are just investment funds you can buy and sell in the stock market, with their own symbol and everything just like any other stocks.

Index (passive) funds track an index, instead of trying to outperform the market.

You can have passive funds that are not ETFs (do not appear as a symbol in the stock market, have to go through a bank or whatever to buy shares), and active funds that are ETFs (actively managed).

So, is the idea to avoid ORM, JSF, JavaBeans, CDI Beans and all JavaEE in general? How is web application development done? I guess the back-end is made in Java with an API, and another language is used for the front-end.
