I wonder if “Dev log in the comments” would be an appropriate tag for this?

Alright, so I figured out why the technician forgets he has a dick: because I forgot to give him the skill to use it.

Moreover, in light of the constant “jumping straight to nudity” bug, I’ve decided separate testing is needed of the placeholder state plugin. To that end, I’ve taken a copy of Sala’s Escape and renamed it “Project Pincushion.” So it can take the messy testing for Princess Rescue that goes into Sala’s Escape. It’s the human shield FOR the human shield!

Update: there was something wrong with the game but I can’t remember what it was. I’m sure it’ll come back if I do a test run one of these days.

Also I’m making an Ad picture for it in incriments. I took some inspiration from the old magazine ads for video games.

It’s a field ^^; because the eye test at the optometrist with the hot air balloon haunts me.

@Twilight_Shimmer
Rarity often wants to test the materials, she wants her stuff to be top quality

To add to my previous statement

it was pretty clear to me from very early on that the Tell Your Tale staff were doing their best to follow Make Your Mark… they knew the loose idea of what would happen, but not exactly what would happen.

There are multiple examples where Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark have continuity errors if you attempt to fit them together. One example is Izzy’s Crafting Cart appearing in Tell Your Tale S1E13 “Dumpster Diving” in which Izzy is on the search for the perfect ring to complete the Unity Lantern as a Maretime Bay Day gift for Sunny, which we later see her give to Sunny in Make Your Mark Chapter 1…

However, Izzy’s cart couldn’t have been present when she was looking for that ring, because she doesn’t acquire and fix up said cart until Make Your Maker Chapter 2, after the events of Maretime Bay Day have already passed and the lantern has already been given to Sunny.

And the most obvious and glaring example is that The Mare Stream has two entirely different backstories… one where Izzy and Zipp clearly build it together and test fly it in Tell Your Tale S1E36 “Taking Flight”, and the other in Make Your Mark Chapter 3 “Winter Wishday” where it only becomes fully formed basically in response to holiday cutie mark magic, which honestly at least in my opinion feels far less satisfying than it’s Tell Your Tale equivalent. Both shows imply Izzy and Zipp created it, but Tell Your Tale shows rather than tells. Which is ironic given the show name XD

For my personal tastes, I choose to take Make Your Mark as primary canon and if a Tell Your Tale episode could plausibly happen and doesn’t conflict with Make Your Mark, assume that it also probably did as well…

Full Text Available Flow diagram represent an integral part of consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT. Its use in reporting cluster randomization trials is highly recommended. The aim of this article is to present frequency of the use of flow diagram in cluster randomized trials in accordance with standards of reporting. The team has researched Medline database and singled-out 474 studies with cluster randomization for analysis. The studies were reviewed to identify the use of graphic representation, compliance with standards of reporting and the date when study was published. Depending from its duration, studies were divided on completed, and those still ongoing. Usage of CONSORT is recorded in 145 (31% literature units. Frequency of flow diagram was statistically much higher in studies which were in compliance with standards (86,2%, in comparison to those which did not use CONSORT guidelines (71,4%, as well as in completed studies (81,2% in comparison to pilot project studies (54,3%. Number of cluster randomized trials gathered through MEDLINE’s search of key words ‘cluster randomized trial [ti]’ and ‘cluster randomised trial [ti]’, as well as the use of CONSORT in the reports of cluster randomized trials, are showing linear growth over time (p<0,001. Frequency of flow diagram is higher in the reports of cluster randomized trials that were done in accordance with the standards of reporting.

Full Text Available Abstract Background Controlled clinical trials of health care interventions are either explanatory or pragmatic. Explanatory trials test whether an intervention is efficacious; that is, whether it can have a beneficial effect in an ideal situation. Pragmatic trials measure effectiveness; they measure the degree of beneficial effect in real clinical practice. In pragmatic trials, a balance between external validity (generalizability of the results and internal validity (reliability or accuracy of the results needs to be achieved. The explanatory trial seeks to maximize the internal validity by assuring rigorous control of all variables other than the intervention. The pragmatic trial seeks to maximize external validity to ensure that the results can be generalized. However the danger of pragmatic trials is that internal validity may be overly compromised in the effort to ensure generalizability. We are conducting two pragmatic randomized controlled trials on interventions in the management of hypertension in primary care. We describe the design of the trials and the steps taken to deal with the competing demands of external and internal validity. Discussion External validity is maximized by having few exclusion criteria and by allowing flexibility in the interpretation of the intervention and in management decisions. Internal validity is maximized by decreasing contamination bias through cluster randomization, and decreasing observer and assessment bias, in these non-blinded trials, through baseline data collection prior to randomization, automating the outcomes assessment with 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors, and blinding the data analysis. Summary Clinical trials conducted in community practices present investigators with difficult methodological choices related to maintaining a balance between internal validity (reliability of the results and external validity (generalizability. The attempt to achieve methodological purity can

Audit and feedback (AF) interventions that leverage routine administrative data offer a scalable and relatively low-cost method to improve processes of care. AF interventions are usually designed to highlight discrepancies between desired and actual performance and to encourage recipients to act to address such discrepancies. Comparing to a regional average is a common approach, but more recipients would have a discrepancy if compared to a higher-than-average level of performance. In addition, how recipients perceive and respond to discrepancies may depend on how the feedback itself is framed. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of different comparators and framing in feedback on high-risk prescribing in nursing homes. This is a pragmatic, 2 × 2 factorial, cluster-randomized controlled trial testing variations in the comparator and framing on the effectiveness of quarterly AF in changing high-risk prescribing in nursing homes in Ontario, Canada. We grouped homes that share physicians into clusters and randomized these clusters into the four experimental conditions. Outcomes will be assessed after 6 months; all primary analyses will be by intention-to-treat. The primary outcome (monthly number of high-risk medications received by each patient) will be analysed using a general linear mixed effects regression model. We will present both four-arm and factorial analyses. With 160 clusters and an average of 350 beds per cluster, assuming no interaction and similar effects for each intervention, we anticipate 90% power to detect an absolute mean difference of 0.3 high-risk medications prescribed. A mixed-methods process evaluation will explore potential mechanisms underlying the observed effects, exploring targeted constructs including intention, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, descriptive norms, and goal prioritization. An economic analysis will examine cost-effectiveness analysis from the perspective of the publicly funded health care system. This protocol

The study was conducted to determine the clinical and cost effectiveness of enhanced multi-disciplinary teams (EMDTs) vs. ‘usual care’ for the treatment of pressure ulcers in long term care (LTC) facilities in Ontario, Canada We conducted a multi-method study: a pragmatic cluster randomized stepped-wedge trial, ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews, and an economic evaluation. Long term care facilities (clusters) were randomly allocated to start dates of the intervention. An advance practice nurse (APN) with expertise in skin and wound care visited intervention facilities to educate staff on pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, supported by an off-site hospital based expert multi-disciplinary wound care team via email, telephone, or video link as needed. The primary outcome was rate of reduction in pressure ulcer surface area (cm2/day) measured on before and after standard photographs by an assessor blinded to facility allocation. Secondary outcomes were time to healing, probability of healing, pressure ulcer incidence, pressure ulcer prevalence, wound pain, hospitalization, emergency department visits, utility, and cost. 12 of 15 eligible LTC facilities were randomly selected to participate and randomized to start date of the intervention following the stepped wedge design. 137 residents with a total of 259 pressure ulcers (stage 2 or greater) were recruited over the 17 month study period. No statistically significant differences were found between control and intervention periods on any of the primary or secondary outcomes. The economic evaluation demonstrated a mean reduction in direct care costs of $650 per resident compared to ‘usual care’. The qualitative study suggested that onsite support by APN wound specialists was welcomed, and is responsible for reduced costs through discontinuation of expensive non evidence based treatments. Insufficient allocation of nursing home staff time to wound care may explain the lack of impact on healing

Challenges to effective pharmacologic management of symptomatic diabetic peripheral neuropathy include the limited effectiveness of available medicines, frequent side effects, and the need for ongoing symptom assessment and treatment titration for maximal effectiveness. We present here the rationale and implementation challenges of the Diabetes Telephone Study, a randomized trial designed to improve medication treatment, titration, and quality of life among patients with symptomatic diabetic peripheral neuropathy. We implemented a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of an automated interactive voice response tool designed to provide physicians with real-time patient-reported data about responses to newly prescribed diabetic peripheral neuropathy medicines. A total of 1834 primary care physicians treating patients in the diabetes registry at Kaiser Permanente Northern California were randomized into the intervention or control arm. In September 2014, we began identification and recruitment of patients assigned to physicians in the intervention group who receive three brief interactive calls every 2 months after a medication is prescribed to alleviate diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms. These calls provide patients with the opportunity to report on symptoms, side effects, self-titration of medication dose and overall satisfaction with treatment. We plan to compare changes in self-reported quality of life between the intervention group and patients in the control group who receive three non-interactive automated educational phone calls. Successful implementation of this clinical trial required robust stakeholder engagement to help tailor the intervention and to address pragmatic concerns such as provider time constraints. As of 27 October 2015, we had screened 2078 patients, 1447 of whom were eligible for participation. We consented and enrolled 1206 or 83% of those eligible. Among those enrolled, 53% are women and the mean age

Stellar: Ah you finally figured it out! You passed my test! Business requires you to be clever y’know?

As said in the description, I give a test to artists I might work with by asking them to illustrate one of my sketches as it was a panel, so I can figure their strengths and weaknesses, and the artist learn what to expect of the project.
This picture, made by Faline, and the one you linked, happened to be two tests based on the same sketch, that’s it. By looking at my galery, you can see similar cases with other artists, and there will be even more to come.

Yes, it does kinda suck. And its notorious length tests most people’s patience.
Which is why I chose one of the first prominent characters introduced in the story, to serve as a simple litmus test for passing familiarity beyond just recognizing Littlepip. Anyone who’s read the first chapter should know who she is.

Hot dang, Sunset tested the cutie marks off of them.

I’m not much of a 3D artist but if I ever have to stress test a graphics card in Blender again I’ll keep your request in mind

Here’s your update: I’ve been banging on this thing tonight, testing it. Some of the states don’t seem to work, but I think I’ve found the cause of that.

Pfp test pfp test

Will it be on the test?

Testing, can anyone see the image embed here?

Because I tried to fix the broken image in the description and it doesn’t show up in the comment preview on my end either, despite the URL being correct (and I tried with two different browsers). Oh well…

Premier Alexei Kosygin (probably): “Comrades, please listen. This is news to shake world. The American moon mission has brought back an emissary, a Tsarina from an equine alien civilization. We don’t know what its intent is, or whether they’re hostile or not, but i can tell you this: With life on moon, the Space Race will accelerate. America will most certainly go back, sending more men, and even putting base there. Mother Russia cannot sit idly by during this period. We will increase engineering and testing efforts on the N1-L3, while exploring options for moon military forces. We must also increase our astronaut pool, more men, more women, more whites, more blacks. Pull them from Warsaw Pact nations if necessary. That will be all, comrades. Dismissed.”

Alright, so here’s your update: I’ve been spending the last month or so on and off on the missing battler images. you see, I need combined states or you’ll have an instance where say, Luna has been stripped of her clothes, but then will be hypnotized, and then tied up going back to tied up and naked, but no hypno. So I had to make TWELVE variation images, one for each of the characters. Which came to THIRTY SIX FUCKING BATTLER IMAGES! Granted most of them are copy/paste, but it got monotonous after a while, and the slave outfits were a pain in the ass. I still need to:
-put the hypno eyes on the appropriate battler images
-shrink down the images
-code them into the game
-test them
-draw an ad for the game
-post game to itch.io
-post ad to Derpibooru

After this, I feel I am sufficiently prepared to continue my work on Sala’s Escape.

The test of the fire safety system was successful. The fire is safe.

Why are they laughing at her? Is it because of failing a test?

I’ve heard that the Stalliongrad officer’s academy has a test for entry, in which blocks of varying shapes and sizes are inserted through holes of corresponding shapes and sizes. This leads to two kinds of officers populating the Stalliongrad Red Army. Those who are moderately intelligent, and those who are incredibly strong.
