Client programs communicate with MPD to manipulate playback, the playlist, and the database. MPD simply runs in the background playing music from its playlist. Since Volumio and RuneAudio are using MPD, It is a good idea to select MPD and figure out how it works. This may not be an issue as modern applications do not have a need to use the older OSS v3 interface. Output using a wrapper API which outputs using any of the above 3 methodsĪ further simplification is to restrict the use of ALSA through the ALSA API (a more modern API) and avoid using the OSS v3 API (Legacy API).Output using OSS version 3 API directly to ALSA’s Kernel API.Output using ALSA API to sound mixer, which outputs to ALSA’s Kernel API (when sound mixing is enabled).Output using ALSA API directly to ALSA’s Kernel API (when sound mixing is disabled).And indeed it can be bypassed:Ī sound developer who wishes to output sound in their application can take any of the following routes with ALSA: The key message here is that ALSA looks like a “simple” interface between an audio application and the hardware and that there is a Mixer (Sound Mixing) outside the Kernel that CAN can potentially be bypassed. A graphical description of ALSA is as follows: This site also has a good overview of the different sound subsystems in Linux. (At least PulseAudio and Jack are are installed when installing MPD) In our case, restricting to ALSA looks like a good option since it is already included in the Debian BBB release. In our quest for bit-perfect audio, A reasonable approach to simplify the audio path is by minimizing the number of components through which the audio stream can possibly travel.Ī practical way to do this is to direct the application to use a single audio subsystem. Audio applications such as MPD can use either ALSA, PureAudio or OSS in order to appeal to a wider audience and provide compatibility to new, old and in-between versions and flavors of Linux. An application can use Alsa, routed through Jack and back to Alsa or it can use PulseAudio to OSS or Alsa all the way. Here is a very simplified and high diagram describing the different audio subsystems and their relationship :Īnd application can literally take any route through the different components in order to arrive at the hardware. An application can use anyone of these subsystems and in fact they do in order to provide wide appeal and compatibility. To and audio application, Linux audio provides several audio subsystems through which audio can be channeled: ALSA, PulseAudio, Jackd, OSS and others. It enters your Linux box at one point and leaves at another. This is a failure because there’s nothing intrinsically more complicated about audio than any other technology. This soon becomes evident if you sit down with a piece of paper and try to draw the relationships between the technologies involved with taking audio from a music file to your speakers: the diagram soon turns into a plate of knotted spaghetti. There’s a problem with the state of Linux audio, and it’s not that it doesn’t always work. Here is a depiction of Linux audio (circa 2008) : It is almost ironic that the quest for a “perfect audio appliance” which led us to the “simpler”, low power (the BBB consumes less than 5W) and light-weight world of embedded Linux, has also led us to the incredibly complex world of Linux audio.īecause of its long evolution, long list of requirements from both sound professionals and consumers, and open development environment, many audio subsystems have flourished, each having their own set of unique features, duplicating features from each other, providing interfaces to as many applications (even legacy applications) as possible and attempting to interfaces to each other.

See the Default Size Constraints section below for details. The layout item sets the embedded control’s constraints based on its type. Default - uses the embedded control’s Control.MinimumSize and MaximumSize properties (or the IXtraResizableControl.MinSize and MaxSize properties - if the control implements this interface).The LayoutControlItem.SizeConstraintsType property specifies whether to use size constraints of the embedded control or the layout item: This topic describes how to set size constraints and align a control within a layout item. You can set Size Constraints - which limit the maximum width and height for a layout item when LayoutControl resizes it. LayoutControl resizes its items so that they fill all available space. When a control is placed in a layout item, the layout item automatically sets its Size property according to the current layout. layout control contains layout items that embed controls. and the Save and Exit menu commands to the top-level File menu, This code adds the New and Open menu commands, a separator bar, This code adds a top-level File menu to the MenuStrip.

Now we are getting to the end of the war over catch, but alas Catch 22 is no more. The ones that didn't, moved to Querious and formed KINGS. But that didn't work, so the groups that wanted to continue with OG left for their space. So they broke PACT to continue the aggression in Catch and Querious. RM had been part of PACT, but supporting AAA against what was now OG meant they were in violation. War continued with FRA, now named AAA, their new allies of RM, GGWP. They agreed that while C22 had been enemies, their issue was with the French. We went to OG, and told them of the French betrayal. In leaving they started shooting ships that were leaving their space. So FRA decided to split from c22, which was the very reason for the war. After the fall of Pantheon, there was a power vacuum that everyone came for. Thus came the fall of Pantheon and SonBanana. This however meant that as people pulled support from Pantheon, they were left with no support. But this meant instead of fighting NO SHH, and PACT at the same time, we could focus solely on PACT. They weren't willing to help, so we pulled out of the northern war, with some help anyway. This meant that while PanGen had to fight all of the north, we had to fight all of the south. Behind the scenes FRA had taken us into a war again with the eastern bloc, specifically SCG. GenFed decided to join with pantheon and we were brought in as before. This time it was NO and SHH against Pantheon. There was some downtime but eventually the war came back. We blued PanGen and together won the SC / CC war. EA left us and HBGR voted to disband the QC. We saw the unwillingness of the groups to do what needed to be done. What was left was c22, EA, HBGR, and a few others. SHH reset standings with its long-time allies GF and destroyed the remains of FF. However in the process, it was discovered Mommasaurus Rex, leader of GF, had secretly told the leader of FF that if they joined GF, GF and its allies Pantheon and C22 were willing to guarantee the survival of their citadels through either diplomacy or war. At the beginning of September, Silent finally succeeded in breaking FF for the final time, absorbing a majority of its membership. During the attempted defense, SHH was unable to come to an accord with Pantheon on the issue of HONK which had by this time joined the coalition, resulting in the breaking of an infamous short 3 day coalition against NO. NO, along with its allies FF invaded Vale and in a rapid campaign destroyed the Vale Coalition. At the insistence of one of his advisors and Pantheon diplomats, Nih1ist agreed to a coalition agreement with Pantheon and participated in the final battles of the southern war against OG, WARP and VOID, resulting in the final capitulation of that coalition. Under the leadership of Nih1ist, Silent fought a tumultuous war against a reinvigorated FF with its new allies NO.

Rumors have swirled over Fox and News Corp. “Any alleged association resulting therefrom are also ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ and ‘pure opinion’ under well-established principles of defamation law,” CNN’s lawyers added. Trump’s attorneys argued CNN “has sought to use its massive influence - purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source.”Īdditionally, Trump’s lawyer says that CNN attempted “to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for ‘ Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”ĬNN lawyers have pushed back against Trump’s claims saying that the former president “seeks to silence any criticism of Plaintiff’s debunked claim that the 2020 presidential election was ‘stolen.’” Trump filed the lawsuit against CNN because he accuses the network of defaming his character during the 2020 Presidential Election.

Super Bomberman R Online brings more than 100 customizable feature combinations, including numerous costumes, accessories and for the first time, bomb skins-affecting both the bomb and the blast itself. As levels are cleared and players are whittled down, the number of battlefields continue to shrink until the ultimate final battle to be the last bomber standing. Delivering an original battle royale experience, up to 64 players are spread across 16 starting battlefields. Previously launched on Stadia, Super Bomberman R Online takes inspiration from the popularity of Super Bomberman R, bringing back the 8 Bomber Brothers and others as a 64-player, online battle royale.Īs Bomberman returns with the gameplay that has made the franchise a party game classic – blast through battlefields, find hidden power-ups and use them to blow away foes-the action in Super Bomberman R Online erupts to new heights with the “Battle 64” mode.

Test the claim (using a Chow test) that the coefficients of this model are the same regardless of race. Estimate a model wherein ln(wages) depends on age, age-squared, schooling, and sex.Then calculate the F-statistic and (ball-park or calculate precisely) the p-value. Do not rely on Stata's output of this statistic, but rather compute it by estimating a restricted and unrestricted model. Using the Base Model, conduct the F-test that all variables have no effect.Rather, estimate an unrestricted model and a restricted model to obtain the sum of squared residuals. Using the Base Model, again test the claim that the return to each additional year of schooling is nine percent, but this time do not use Stata's test command.Test the claim that the variable age does not belong in the model.Test the claim that the gender differential is ten percent.Test the claim that each year of additional schooling increases expected wages by nine percent.Test the claim that there is no effect of race of wages.Test the claim that there is no difference between being black or hispanic on wages.Re-estimate the Base Model, and then do the following.Describe the predicted relationship between age and ln(wages) as completely as possible. Explain why the residuals might give one more confidence in this model over the model in step 3. Plot the residuals from the regression against age. Summarize the residuals of the regression. Regress logged wages on age, age squared, years of schooling, race (omit white), and sex (omit male).Given what you know about wages, do the results generally make sense? Explain why the residuals should make one question the model specification. Regress wages on age, age squared, years of schooling, race (omit white), and sex (omit male).Provide the summary statistics for this data set. Keep (and order) wage, lnwage, age, age2, school, hispanic, black, white, female, and male. Also create age2 to equal the square of age, and create lnwage to equal the natural log of annual earnings. Create dummy variables for race (hispanic, black, and white) and sex (female and male).Separately tabulate race, school, and sex. Describe and summarize the data to better understand the data.And following that, a Stata program is included that would execute the commands for all 10 questions.

Smartwatch showdown: Apple Watch v Android Wear As soon as you click Save Draft from this menu, you should see the watch face appear inside the Facer app on your phone. There are some basic options behind the Menu heading you might want to take advantage of, like a grid toggle button and a shareable link to your work. We're just covering the basics of Facer here, but there's plenty more to explore if you want to go further. The Photoshop wizards among you can download a PSD template using the link on the left and use Adobe's digital imaging software to build a watch face instead. Switch to the Dim tab and you can play around with the way the watch face looks when it's in standby mode - remember you want it to use up as little battery power as possible, so you're best off making extensive use of black and dark shades when in this mode. Information like the time and the battery level can be added fairly easily but there's also the opportunity to make your own custom text, image and shape widgets if you have the time and inclination: Facer has a full reference guide if you fancy getting more creative. You can then use the Add Element button on the left to drop in new objects on top of your design, from digital clocks to weather widgets - as the new elements appear in your project, new options show up to modify the colours and transparency as you need to. For a very simple watch face, just use Background Image to load a new picture into the designer. The panel on the left is where you'll be going to add new stuff to your design, while clicking on objects in the middle brings up extra options and lets you move and resize them. Welcome to the Facer watch face editor! A clean and intuitive interface for designing your own faces: you can use the shape buttons to the right to switch between square and circular faces, and the timeline along the bottom to see how your design checks out through the day. Meanwhile, down at the bottom you can see your existing designs, and from the same page there's access to some helpful how-to tutorials and the community pages (where you can turn for Facer tips and advice). There's limited support for the Apple Watch, too. Choose the shape and template you want to start with (digital or analogue) or pick a completely blank watch face. The app asks you what type of Android Wear watch you have, and you can then choose to browse through the faces already available - however, we want to get busy making our own.įacer has a Web-based designer app that runs in your browser and makes more sense than tapping away on your phone or tablet - you can find it at facer.io. You need to register a Facer account if you want to be able to sync your designs. Android Wear Faces Creator and the imaginatively named WatchMaker Watch Face are good alternatives.įacer doesn't take much time to get up and running and works like most other customisation tools - you choose the app as the watch face (with a long press on the device or through the Android Wear app), then choose and sync the actual face from inside the app. We don't have space to feature them all so here we're going to focus on Facer, as it's one of the slickest out there and is free to download. They come at different price points, too. There are several different apps that let you design and install customised watch faces, and they all have broadly similar features: make a watch face of your own or pick one uploaded by another user from the general pool (some of them are actually very good). Whether you're looking for something for your LG Watch Sport, Polar M600, or Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45, we'll show you one of the best apps for the job, and how to use it. Read this: Android Wear 2.0 essential guide You don't need to be a design wizard or a coding genius, either, and it's very possible to get something slick and personal on your watch in just a few minutes. If you want your smartwatch to stand out from crowd, a customised watch face of your own is the way to go - and just about every Android Wear watch makes it possible, provided you have the right app installed. |
