Google play store instant app download11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() They respond to the problem of users having to search for the apps on the Store and wait till they’re downloaded to start using them. When first announced two years ago, I was very enthusiastic about Android Instant Apps. Have you encountered any similar problems? Conclusion Only if we tried to open the associated link from another app, like Gmail, the whole instant app process was triggered and the instant app was launched. Google Search results didn’t annotate our demo links as Instant apps and the links led to the web page. The official documentation states that the Google Search would offer Instant app annotation by default (small thunder icon), but we had problems with it. This annotates which activity should be launched in case the Instant app is launched from the Settings or a system launcher. Any other way would cause a link verification failure and the app wouldn’t be linked properly.Īlso, there is a recommendation to include the following code snippet into one of the activities in your app manifest. īoth http and https schemes need to be defined as shown in this code snippet. Next, we found that it’s extremely important to specify app links data in the following format. If you want to try it, you need to check your phone settings under Google account and enable the Instant Apps setting. ![]() But, there’s always a but! What were the Android Instant Apps’ challenges?įirst of all, the Instant Apps are not enabled by default for now. That’s it! It’s fairly simple to start developing Android Instant Apps. ![]() These APKs are handled similarly as the regular ones, they have their own rollout history and versioning. The result of the instantapp module build is a zip file with the instant app APKs which you can upload separately to Google Play Store in the Android Instant Apps release manager. In this module, we will define which modules will be built as instant apps. The relation field is set to the default value below, and the target object needs to be filled with app specific data and your SHA256 hash of the keystore. The assetlinks.json will need to contain your SHA256 keystore hashes. If there are two activities that correspond to the same path, the Play Store won’t know which part of the app should be fetched. If not, then the product list activity is launched. If you have a product list and a product single that correspond to the same path (/products and /products/10), the product single activity will be launched if there’s an id after the /products path. This is actually a priority in this case. For this, you need to include the assetlinks.json file into the following folder of your domain root:Īlso, notice the android:order=”100″ property. Your app will verify if the links you specified are really associated with your domain. You need to include the autoVerify=”true” property. However, this is not enough for Instant apps, you need to go one step further - App Links. When a user tries to open such a link, the OS will ask the user to choose between opening the link in a web browser or in your app. They are defined in the app manifest, and they will be registered to the OS. What are app links and how are they defined? Now, when a user tries to open, both Product and Base modules will start to download and the ProductActivity will be launched. We will call them Product and Product list modules. To make them accessible as instant app activities, they need to be packed into individual feature modules and they need to have associated App Links defined in their module manifests. For example, you can link launch the ProductsListActivity and to launch the ProductActivity. Let’s say you have a web app with a list of products and a single page of the product. The other, feature modules, contain specific functionalities and activities which can be accessed via associated URLs. One of them is a base module with the essential code which is used in all other modules (API connection, database, shared preferences etc.). Well, you need to divide your Android project into a couple of modules. This way users can quickly enjoy the native experience of your Android application. Web URLs will trigger the Google Play Store on your phone and fetch only the part of the app that is associated with the requested URL. An Instant app will actually be installed on your phone, but without the need to search for it on the Play Store. How do they work?įirst of all, don’t confuse them with Progressive Web Apps where a launcher icon opens a web app via the Chrome browser. Only parts of the app are downloaded and launched, giving the users a native look and feel in a couple of seconds.

What this does is, it will find music tracks available to add to your video (non copyrighted, free to use music.) But then, there are two new options that shows up when you do this. At the video editor’s add music mode, there’s a little search box beneath the music tracks. So, how did I fix this? With a work around. How to add music to long videos on YouTube Editor? What does that mean? There would be empty slots in the video where there would be no audio or music at all. Instead, what YouTube lets you do it, drag the music to different places in the video. There is no way you can loop the music (repeat it) in the video. The problem is when the music is shorter than the video. ![]() You can even use the “Position Music” button to add music at different places in the video. Click on any music track and it will be added to the video. Here, when you click on “Audio” tab, a list pops up on the right, with non-copyrighted music. ![]() ![]() So typically, when you try to edit a video through the YouTube editor, this is what you see. Problem! After an hour later and 8 failed attempts, I finally figured out how to add music to long videos to cover the whole length of the video. So, the other day I was trying to upload and edit a pretty long video on YouTube editor, it was 15 minutes long and none of the music on YouTube was long enough to cover the full video. ![]() Garden planner diary11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() We have designed our intuitive and straightforward wedding planning softwareto be used by all.Īnybody can start professionally planning their wedding using our easy-to-use interface, and handy tools that’ll help break checklists down into bite-size individual tasks.

Val Harrison shares her favourite recipes on our recipes pages. If you grow vegetables then you’re certain to be interested in what you eat. Even if you just have a patio, there are things you can grow and eat. It tells how to make a small garden productive as well as decorative and still leave room for the children to have fun in. The third book, Vegetable, Fruit & Herb Growing in Small Spaces, was based on our experience when we had a completely paved over, concrete garden. The second, The Essential Allotment Guide, is really for those who want to get or who have an allotment. My first book, Vegetable Growing Month by Month, is firmly aimed at those starting out but there are a few tips in there that help the experienced grower. ![]() I’ve got 8 published books, which you read more about here: Allotment Garden Books When you think of wine and those experts saying things like ‘from the chalky slopes on the south side of the vineyard’ it’s not so surprising that a variety of potato grown in one place can taste differently when grown in another and that taste can change depending on the weather. Incidentally, the flavour of any vegetable doesn’t depend just on the variety but is altered according to where it is grown and the conditions. You find flavours that you and your family like. A carrot is not just a carrot nor a potato just a chipper or masher. I’m convinced that when you grow you’re own your taste changes. Yield is obvious but flavour needs a little explanation. Relying on the weather office isn’t that useful, we’ve seen them saying it’s bright sunshine when we’re under cloud and it’s pouring down.Īnother important thing to note is yield and flavour. Of course the weather varies from year to year but eventually you’ll build up a pattern for your plot. The weather is important as well, keeping track of when the first and last frosts are in your area helps you plan. Often a variety of vegetable that does well in one situation or area will fail to thrive in another, so keeping track of what was planted and where is important. It helps you keep track of what worked for you and what didn’t. Anti-Rodent Potato Box, Hazel Trees, SavoysĪ diary is actually a really useful tool for the gardener.Harvest Looking Good, Weather Not So Much. ![]() Ffxiv reaper11/10/2023 ![]() Harvest Moon is an instant cast, so if you try to do the same thing with it, you will early pull by two seconds. By the time you actually reach the boss, you have gained a free GCD. The damage doesn’t go out until the cast is finished which means the damage does not land until the countdown reaches 0. It starts your GCD clock early without early pulling. Using a casted ability before the countdown is finished does two things. Harvest Moon uses will very much be a fight-specific optimization and there is no “this is always the best way to use it.” Why do we precast Harpe instead of using Harvest Moon or just running in and immediately doing Shadow of Death? Otherwise, Harvest Moon should be used for AoE, if applicable, or used in place of a weaker GCD for an overall potency gain. ![]() Harvest Moon should always be used for this instead, if it is available. Harpe should be used prepull in the opener and when you are forced out of melee range for at least one GCD, provided it is not possible to keep your melee GCDs rolling. How do we properly use Harvest Moon/Harpe? See the Two Minute Burst Window section of the Advanced Guide for more details. This pushes Arcane Circle back into alignment for the rest of the fight. We correct this at the two minute buff window by entering the Double Enshroud sequence at 6s left on Arcane Circle cooldown instead of the standard 9s left. We compromise by taking a small hit to buff alignment for the opener for more potency under the party’s raid buffs. If we do Arcane Circle later, Plentiful Harvest is available later, meaning we end up pushing the end of our opener out of raid buffs, especially 15s raid buffs. Why do we use Arcane Circle so early in the opener when it is misaligned from other buffs?ĭue to the nature of Plentiful Harvest being tied to Arcane Circle, we are forced to use Arcane Circle early in the opener in order to fit the most potency under buffs. It will still clip at GCD speeds of 2.47 and faster. Both clipping and delaying are worse than early weaving Arcane Circle. The only way to avoid clipping if you do not early weave Arcane Cirlce is for Plentiful Harvest, and therefore your burst, to be delayed one additional GCD. You must early weave it or it will cause a clip if used where it is in the openers. Plentiful Harvest cannot be used for 6.7s after using Arcane Circle. Always use High Quality! Why do we use Arcane Circle halfway through the GCD instead of in the second weave space? ![]() Currently, that is Grade 8 Tincture of Strength. ![]() ![]() ![]() As technology continued to advance, VR surgery expanded beyond training and started to be used in actual surgical procedures. Simulators were developed to provide realistic haptic feedback, enabling surgeons to refine their skills in a safe and controlled environment. ![]() Surgeons recognized the benefits of using VR to simulate surgical procedures, allowing them to practice complex surgeries without putting patients at risk. In the early 2000s, VR surgery gained traction as a promising tool for surgical training and planning. As VR technology improved, its potential for medical applications began to be explored. The concept of VR emerged in the 1960s, but it was not until the 1990s that significant advancements were made in the field. The history of VR surgery can be traced back to the development of virtual reality technology itself. By wearing a VR headset, surgeons can visualize patient anatomy, interact with virtual tools, and perform simulated surgeries in a virtual environment. It combines computer-generated three-dimensional environments with real-time tracking and imaging technologies to create an immersive experience for surgeons. Virtual Reality (VR) surgery is the use of virtual reality technology in surgical procedures. The results are a more accurate, precise procedure that helps improve the lives of patients. ![]() VR surgery is a step forward, combining the best technology and knowledgeable medical professionals along with improved surgical equipment. Medical training has long been in need of technological innovation. VR surgery simulators can be deployed in kiosks for on-site demonstrations, or mailed out in the form of headsets that clients can use remotely. ![]() Virtual reality can be used to give customers a realistic hands-on experience with medical device products. Physicians, and the entire surgical support staff are free to build knowledge about new procedures and practice their skills. Surgeons can use medical VR Surgery simulation to test new devices and technology in a risk-free environment. VR surgical simulation can reduce the number of errors that could be fatal to patients, putting them at ease and saving lives.

With smooth selected, you have access to four additional variations.īlackman-Bessel, Blackman-Sinc, Lanczos and Mitchell. If you use Medium but your images are high contrast and you are not happy with the scaled images then switch to smooth. It is very similar to Medium in quality but operates slower. Smooth, the default setting, is recommended by jAlbum. It uses an ‘area averaging’ algorithm, or if using hardware acceleration ( Settings/Images/Advanced) bilinear interpolation. Smooth is the slowest, but will give the best result. If the images generated suffer from artefacts try another scaling method.įast uses nearest neighbor interpolation but can result in ‘jagged results’. Disadvantages are the generation of artefacts such as blocking, ringing, moire and blurring. ![]() Advantages of each method tends to be that they preserve a specific property, like hard edges. The settings are a trade off between speed and creating processing artefacts, depending on the image being sampled. They affect how your original images get reduced, when linking to scaled-down images, in size to meet the image bounds. There algorithms for scaling images are Fast, Medium and Smooth. A ratio like 10000x800 is commonly used to allow a mix of panoramic images and ordinary images having the same height. ![]() This means that you can safely use bounds like 1000x1000 to ensure that neither the width or height goes above 1000. The bounds fields allows you to enter custom bounds too! jAlbum will never distort the width/height ratio of your images.

Dxo photolab 4 focus stacking11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Completing the vision with these specific images took a little bit longer than usual… about 3-5 minutes per image including computer processing time. For the images in this article I used the Burn Tool, and for some of them the Levels adjustment was utilized. I often use the Lasso Tool to remove distracting elements. In DxO I make some Selective Tone adjustments, apply DxO Smart Lighting, and often use a small amount of Microcontrast.Ĭompleting the vision in CS6 is also pretty simple. I never do any masking, and all of my adjustments towards completing the vision are very simple. These adjustments typically would involve running my out-of-camera jpegs through DxO PhotoLab 4, then exporting a jpeg into PhotoShop CS6, and finishing them with Topaz if needed. The second image is my ‘completing the vision’ version after doing some quick adjustments in post. The first image is an out-of-camera jpeg with absolutely no corrections done to it. This article features seven pairs of photographs. As regular readers know I hate spending time in post so the first thing that I do is delete all of those supporting RAW files. Some folks use the supporting RAW files to combine in post. The completed output from this in-camera focus stacking technology is an jpeg file. I used my short stool when capturing all of the handheld macro images in this article. I had my E-M1X’s in-camera focus stacking set for 10 focus stacked images, using a focus differential of 4. I was out at the Royal Botanical Gardens yesterday capturing some handheld in-camera focused stacked macro images of flowers with my E-M1X and M.Zuiko 60 mm f/2.8 macro lens. Each of us has our own skill level and approach when it comes to post processing, as well as our preferred software programs. We have a very specific vision in our minds for how we want our finished photograph to appear and often capture an image as an interim step towards that vision. As photographers we understand that completing the vision involves doing some work with our images in post processing. ![]() Freecol economy11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() oh and something more be careful about the food supplies, do not overcrowd ur cities other wise you will need to use all the space for food production thus producing nothing!!! įreeCol became a popular freeware title, which was for instance downloaded over 1,900,000 times on SourceForge alone, between January 2002 and April 2017.This game is DIFFICULT and i mean it, even at the easiest level it's extremely difficult to survive if u don't cheat, ah and those spanish forces looks like the whole galactic empire striking on you, the other powers look like kittens in front of the ferocious spanish army.īut it's a very addictive game and you have to select very your production and trade routes. In 2010 Alec Meer named FreeCol in Rock, Paper, Shotgun as a better alternative when he was confronted with the later commercial remake Civilization IV: Colonization. In 2008 Rock, Paper, Shotgun's game journalist Alec Meer had mixed feelings about FreeCol but still called it: "it's an (sic) remarkable accomplishment, and I'm very glad it's out there." and "FreeCol, though, is here right now, it's free, it's stable, it's pretty much feature-complete and unlike its parent it has multiplayer". In February 2007 FreeCol was SourceForge's Project of the Month. In each settlement the player can also build up industrial buildings to convert raw materials into processed goods, which sell for more in Europe, providing a significant economic advance. The player may trade with Europe using various natural resources which are produced in settlements or acquired from trade with natives. The player gets additional colonists by producing food (200 food units in a settlement generates a new unit), by immigration from Europe, by converting the natives or by capturing unarmed units of competing European colonies. The player is the king's proxy and is supposed to lead the caravel to the shore and found a colony in the New World consisting of multiple settlements. Most specialists can be trained for gold in Europe or come as settlers for free, but certain specialists can only be trained at certain native settlements.įreeCol starts in 1492 with two colonists on a caravel on the ocean at the player's disposal. Specialists are considerably more productive when assigned in their trade. Native settlements can also teach the player's colonists and turn them into specialist. ![]() Native settlements can be traded with to gain gold or they can be conquered for treasure. To be able to defeat the royal expeditionary force the player must train and build a strong enough army of their own.Īnother important factor are the numerous settlements of different Native American nations. This is achieved by producing liberty bells 200 liberty bells turn one colonist from being a royalist into being a rebel. To be allowed to declare independence, at least 50% of the player's colonists must support independence. In FreeCol the player leads the colony of a European power from the arrival on the shore of the New World into the future, achieving victory by one of two possible victory conditions: either gaining independence by declaring independence and subsequently defeating the dispatched royal expeditionary force or by defeating the colonies of all the competing European powers by the year 1600. Gameplay Screenshot of the unit selection screen. ![]() Moreover, in addition to the classical Colonization rules, it features an additional ruleset that incorporates ideas that didn't make it to the final version of Meier's game, requests by fans and original concepts like new European players with new national bonuses. While remaining faithful to the original in terms of mechanics and gameplay, FreeCol features redesigned graphics. In practice, it is known to run on Linux and Windows, as well as Mac OS X (with some limitations). įreeCol is mostly programmed in Java and should thus be platform-independent.
