Hella mega tour unicorn plush1/14/2024 ![]() on show day to get a good spot at the foot of the stage - moving to their infectious, upbeat tunes. They bound onto the centerfield stage to their opener, “A Friend Like Me” and got the general admission attendees - who began lining up before 10 a.m. They took the stage to the further irony of The Specials’ “Ghost Town.” It wafted over an actual live audience, one which would grow to the rafters by the end of the night, replacing the specter of an arena once emptied by the pandemic. A tour previously interrupted by COVID-19 concerns kicked off with The Interrupters. So, we listened to the bands tell us how they felt playing once more to the adoring throngs and we asked the throngs how they felt being shoulder to shoulder, maskless (we spotted not one in the crowd from our floor seats) and singing their lungs out to more hits than Minute Maid’s home team puts up during a hot streak. ![]() In this case, the former being tour mates Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and The Interrupters and the latter being a capacity crowd of concert-starved, highly appreciative, slightly nervous live music fans who possibly (hopefully) escaped quarantine's unlocked doors to cautiously return to an awaiting world before masturbation “lost its fun.”Īs much as the night belonged to the performers onstage, it also belonged to the crowd which came to hail them. This is a review of a stadium concert and though it’s been a while since you’ve read one maybe, you’ll recall the premise is to learn what music was performed by the musicians and how that music was received by the audience. As the timeworn meme goes, when Billie Joe Armstrong sang “Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit, I'm sick of all the same old shit, in a house with unlocked doors,” we felt that. When the band summoned it during last night’s Houston stop of the long-awaited Hella Mega Tour at Minute Maid Park, it sounded less like an MTV classic than a flashback to merely a year ago when we were all stir crazy in lockdown. Some time back, Green Day released a song called “Longview,” and despite its name it could not have foreseen a global pandemic nearly 30 years in the future. ![]() Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, The Interrupters

Serial print arduino string and variable1/13/2024 ![]() * The characters to be printed are not copied into and out of this extra buffer they are given directly to the Serial port object. * No additional RAM is needed to contain any part of the printed string. * The Arduino can be printing the first part of the message while it formats the next parts. Printing each piece by itself is actually much more efficient: There is no overhead associated with Serial.print that you can avoid by building one giant string. There is no reason to build one giant string and then print it all out at once. See? The variable "voltage" is "sent to" the "%3d" format string and replaces it (the "3" means "make room for 3 digits" and the "d" means "the variable is an integer". Sprintf (buf, "The voltage is currently %3d volts DC\r\n", voltage) ĭelay (1000) // print out voltage once a secondĪssuming that the voltage is changing, you will see something like this in your serial monitor: The voltage is currently 15 volts DC ![]() this is the code that generates the string to print ![]() Int voltage // variable to get a value from a voltage source (example) Use a buffer and the sprintf function.Įxample char buf // must be large enough for the whole string Is there a way to format printout of individual concatenated items in a string? This works nicely, except that I can not control the output format for an individual item as I could do in single item Serial.print(value, HEX). To efficiently print out mixed data, I convert all data items into one concatenated string and send the string to the serial port. Arduino Mega1280, Arduino standard IDE, include string lib.

Screen capture gif dither1/12/2024 Apple’s 8-bit video card could display 256 colors from a palette of over 16 million colors – the same number of colors that a true 24-bit screen can display. When Apple introduced the Mac II in 1987, it introduced color to the Macintosh world. We’ll see what happens in the legal realm, but the question remains, How much difference does it make? GIF They claim that 18-bit video is “particularly ill-suited to editing photographs because of the display’s limited color potential and the distorting effect of the color simulation processes.” Then they point out that the 20″ iMac displays 98% fewer colors than the 24″ model. ![]() Lawyers, never known for understatement, are claiming that this makes the 20″ iMac “vastly inferior to the previous generation it replaced” and that Apple’s claim to support millions of colors is “grossly inflated”. And, as with MacBooks, Apple continues to claim that these iMacs can display millions of colors on the built-in display. Earlier flat-panel iMacs had used 24-bit displays, and the 24″ model still does. The issue has come up again after someone discovered that the 20″ iMac introduced last summer uses an 18-bit display. To this day Apple continues to advertise that the entire MacBook line supports millions of colors on the built-in display. ![]() No judge had to determine whether Apple was misleading customers and whether the use of an 18-bit display made a computer unsuitable for photo editing. ![]() I wrote Apple Sued: Can 262,144 Colors Be Considered ‘Millions’? and asked, “Does it really matter? Is a quarter million colors good enough, regardless of what the lawsuit contends?”Īpple settled with Gatley and Greaves earlier this year, so the case never went to trial. The general consensus was that Apple and others were using dithering to smooth things out so that the 24-bit images looked smooth, not banded. By averaging two adjacent pixels together on an 18-bit color display, you again emulate a 2 million color display, thereby meeting the “millions” claim.Īfter the suit was filed, we pointed to How Good Is Your Color?, a page on the No, Dave, It’s Just You blog that included sample pages showing 18-bit and 24-bit color visitors to the site widely reported that they didn’t see the same banding in the 24-bit image that they expected based on the 18-bit sample – even though they had notebook computers with 18-bit displays. Dithering is using two or more pixels to create the illusion of in-between shades, and it was widely used in the early days of the Mac when the built-in displays were only capable of displaying black and white with no shades of gray. ![]() The other theory was that Apple was dithering the display. This would also explain why images seemed to shimmer a bit. By doing this, Apple would be able to display “in between” shades, essentially providing 7 bits per color channel for a total of 2,097,152 colors. These notebooks still use 18-bit displays with 6 bits for red, 6 for green, and 6 for blue.Īt the same time, MacBook Pro owners had been complaining of “grainy” and “sparkly” displays, and the conjecture was that Apple was simulating more than 262,144 colors by rapidly changing the color of individual pixels. The first suit came almost a year ago when Dave Gatley and Fred Greaves of San Diego filed suit against Apple, claiming that the LCD screens on the MacBook and MacBook Pro models were not suitable for high-quality work, especially photo editing, because the displays could not display the “millions” of colors claimed in advertising, spec sheets, and the Displays system preference pane. 2008: For the second time in a year, Apple is being sued for Macs that display “millions” of colors but using displays that can only display 262,144 colors per pixel.

Trucker strike 20191/12/2024 ![]() In 2018, then-Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said that drought and water scarcity could fuel "massive migration" and eventually lead to a "disaster." Now, he adds, many are moving from these cities to other provinces.Ĭondition Critical: Desertification Threatens To Turn Iran's Future To Dust "Many people lived there, they all moved to Zahedan and Zabol," said Fatemi. But as the wetlands have diminished, many locals have migrated to the cities. The Hamun wetlands were a key source of food and livelihood for thousands of people. "As a result, the slightest change in the climate affects the population."įatemi cited the drying up of the wetlands and lakes in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan as an example. "It is visible because Iran is very dry, there is little rainfall, and a significant part of the country is desert," Tehran-based ecologist Mohammadreza Fatemi told RFE/RL. ![]() Observers say the real figures are likely much higher.Įxperts say a growing number of Iranians are likely to leave rural areas as more areas of Iran - where most of the land is arid or semiarid - become uninhabitable every year. The estimated figure for 2021 was 41,000. While the exact number of climate migrants is unknown, Iranian media estimated that around 42,000 people in 2022 were forced to migrate due to the effects of climate change, including drought, sand and dust storms, floods, and natural disasters. But experts say the crisis has been exacerbated by government mismanagement and rapid population growth. Iranian officials have blamed worsening water scarcity and rising desertification on climate change. Many of the climate migrants are farmers, laborers, and fishermen who are moving with their families from the countryside to major urban areas in Iran in search of alternative livelihoods. Record temperatures, prolonged droughts, and the drying up of rivers and lakes are displacing tens of thousands of Iranians each year, experts say. Written by Ardeshir Tayebi based on an original story in Persian by RFE/RL's Radio Farda The activist HRANA news agency said that as of November 23, at least 445 protesters had been killed during the uprising, including 61 minors, as security forces try to stifle widespread dissent. The widespread demonstrations represent the biggest threat to the Islamic government since the 1979 revolution. Her death has prompted thousands of Iranians to take to the streets to demand more freedoms and women's rights. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has accused Kurdish groups of "attacking and infiltrating Iran to sow insecurity and riots and spread unrest" amid the protests that erupted over Amini's death. They also demanded the immediate withdrawal of all armed forces from Kurdistan, the unconditional release of all prisoners and those detained, and the cessation of rocket fire into Iraq's Kurdish region. Meanwhile, three labor organizations, the Haft Tapeh Workers' Union, the Coordinating Committee to Help Establish Labor Organizations, and the Retirees' Union Group issued a joint statement condemning the bloody repression of people in the Kurdish cities of western Iran. Images published on social media also showed that workers at the Pars home-appliance factory in Qazvin were also on strike, chanting, "Workers, shout, shout for your rights." Strikes have also been reported in several cities in recent days, with reports that workers at the Safe Khodro, an auto manufacturer in the city of Karaj, just northwest of the capital, went on strike on November 27. The death on September 16 of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody sparked a new wave of unrest that authorities have met with lethal force across the country. sanctions imposed because of Tehran's nuclear program. Unrest among workers in many sectors of Iran's economy is causing pressure to mount on the government after a summer of unrest over poor living conditions and a flagging economy wracked by U.S. ![]() Trucks in the central Iranian city of Isfahan remained parked while reports published on social media indicated that drivers in the cities of Qazvin, Kermanshah, Marand, and Bandar Abbas joined the protest, sparked by the death of a young woman in Tehran after being detained in mid-September for a violation of the country's strict head-scarf law. Iranian truck drivers have continued to strike for a third day, with more joining their ranks across the country despite threats from security agents over undelivered cargo. |
