![]() Figuring out good values for the other thresholds and/or framerates is left as an exercise for the reader.Īnother thing you can do with the keyframe snapping feature is using it to correct one-frame bleeds really, really fast. Using the same reasoning, a lead-out of 250 ms allows you to safely have at least 6 as your "Ends after" threshold, without fear of lines ending before people stop talking. This means that if you have a lead-in of 120 ms, you can safely set the "starts before" threshold to at least 3 (3 * 42 = 126) without fear of lines starting showing up after someone has started speaking. When using this feature, remember your lead-in/out times, and the framerate of the video! At 23.976 frames per second, each frame lasts for about 42 ms.

Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something? Is there some "performance boost" switch I can toggle so that my hardware can actually be used here? In what prgramming language is v6 written?

While version 5 runs in a single process and has a %GPU value of around 70% (so: uses the GPU to quite an extent), version 6 runs in four different, dedicated processes, amongst those a "GeoGebra Classic 6 Helper (GPU)". I fired up the Activity Monitor and compared the two programs. To my great surprise the animation with 1000 points ran significantly smoother than in version 6. :-(īen uses v5 so I gave that a shot, too, on my iMac although I really hate Java apps.

Well, Shadow Warrior 2 is currently free to download from GOG. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's the best of environmentalism versus the worst of capitalism, with world-building so well done that by the time you get to the subplot about the train falling in love with the cat, it won't even seem strange to you, and your reaction will simply be, "Aw, they make such a sweet couple." This is Newitz's best work yet. We're following the story of the Rangers charged with forming and protecting the environment of a developing planet, and the corporations whose goal is selling that planet as homo sapiens-only vacation properties for the very wealthy. In this universe, "people" might be almost anyone, hominids, animals, or artificial intelligences. A cozy sprawling epic should be impossible, and yet, here it is, just waiting for you to add a nice hot beverage and a very, very long bath. But this book is a long, sprawling epic, telling the story of the terraforming of a whole planet over thousands of years. One of the blurbs I saw for this book suggested it for fans of Becky Chambers, and I get it, because, like Chambers, this book is a character-focused, optimistic look at a possible future in which people take care of each other in a world of very cool technologies. But when they're threatened with violent diaspora, Misha and Sulfur's very unusual child faces a stark choice: deploy a planet-altering weapon, or watch their people lose everything they've built on Sask-E. Working with a team of robots, naked mole rats, and a very angry cyborg cow, they quietly sow seeds of subversion. Together, they uncover a dark secret about the real estate company that's buying up huge swaths of the planet―a secret that could destroy the lives of everyone who isn't Homo sapiens. Torn between loyalty to the ERT and the truth of the planet's history, Destry makes a decision that echoes down the generations.Ĭenturies later, Destry's protege, Misha, is building a planetwide transit system when his worldview is turned upside-down by Sulfur, a brilliant engineer from the volcano city. ![]() But then she discovers a city that isn't supposed to exist, hidden inside a massive volcano. ![]() On the planet Sask-E, her mission is to terraform an Earthlike world, with the help of her taciturn moose, Whistle.

I had trouble getting the Facebook quest to work, but I'll do the walkthrough without it, as you shouldn't really have to use either one, let alone both. Sign into Twitter online immediately, use the gear at the top right to access settings, and select apps to revoke the game's access to your Twitter account. I allowed the Twitter access in order to get 20 crystals and my account was instantly bombarded with tweets from The Tribez. To get more free crystals you can allow the game to post for you on either Facebook or Twitter or both. I can't begin to imagine feeling impatient at the three-minute ripening of an entire watermelon! What other wonders must lie in store for me here?Game Tip: Nonetheless, I had to hide my disbelief when Aurora yet again encouraged me to "hurry the task along" by using one of the blue crystals which I must study as soon as I am alone. I can not describe my shock when the watermelons they planted grew to full ripeness in again only three minutes! With such an abundance of naturally growing fruit, I suppose it makes sense that these peoples had never turned to farming. How could these people with such obvious talent, able to build a hut in only three minutes, have been nonetheless entirely without accommodations until my arrival? I suspect this will be only the first of many mysteries that I shall encounter in this strange new world.I directed the building of the two huts, as requested, and then introduced the natives to the wonders of agriculture. He called himself the chief of the Trevolaze tribe and said that his small clan would gladly join ours if only we would construct two more of these crude structures. No sooner had the tribesman completed our first hut than another man stepped out of the forest. You can easily level up without spending any real money if you save your crystals for certain key tasks. If you want to play for free, you should also DECLINE all offers to upgrade the warehouse or to purchase crystals or coins. Wait for each task to end in its own time, and the demand to use a crystal will disappear and the game will move on. The game implies that using them is necessary, but it is not. What level of impatience must these people possess to insist on speeding up the construction of a three-minute shelter? Game Tip:ĭo NOT spend any crystals during the initial tutorial. I saw no use in this, however, as the entire hut was completed in a mere three minutes. As the tribesman turned to building a hut from the wood he had gathered, again under my watchful eye, Aurora urged me to use one of these crystals in order to speed up the work. She and her companion began whispering to each other about some prophecy of a chief sent by the "Great Spirits." I can't help but wonder at a culture in which a chief could rise to power by something as simple as indicating a tree to be felled.At this first sign of leadership, Aurora produced a gathering of blue crystals, 20 in number, that pulsed with light at my mere touch. Aurora led me to a bush of local berries that are quite palatable, and she suggested that we might clear some trees to gather wood, but neither she nor the sole tribesman accompanying her lifted a finger to do so until I began to direct their efforts.Immediately the young woman gasped, as though even my most basic directions were entirely unexpected. Apparently the local people are organized into a clan system, but despite a relatively sophisticated society I have already noticed a surprising lack of organization in any other area of life. She says she is the daughter of a neighboring tribal chief. It appears that I will be able to remain in contact with the modern world, and so I will attempt to describe what it is I am experiencing here, although I can't help but feel that mere words will be vastly inadequate in conveying the world I have discovered.As soon as I landed I was approached by a native who calls herself Aurora. Communications with the professor have remained intact by some miracle of luck and science. The bathysphere has survived the journey, and I have arrived in unknown territory.

How Jupyter Notebooks work (This tutorial is part of our Apache Spark Guide. Yet, how can we make a Jupyter Notebook work with Apache Spark? In this post, we will see how to incorporate Jupyter Notebooks with an Apache Spark installation to carry out data analytics through your familiar notebook interface. When considering Python, Jupyter Notebooks is one of the most popular tools available for a developer. Spark offers developers the freedom to select a language they are familiar with and easily utilize any tools and services supported for that language when developing. Unlike many other platforms with limited options or requiring users to learn a platform-specific language, Spark supports all leading data analytics languages such as R, SQL, Python, Scala, and Java. All these capabilities have led to Spark becoming a leading data analytics tool.įrom a developer perspective, one of the best attributes of Spark is its support for multiple languages. Moreover, Spark can easily support multiple workloads ranging from batch processing, interactive querying, real-time analytics to machine learning and graph processing.
