![]() ![]() This increases maintenance costs and chances for error. Likewise, when the formula is changed, all of the packaging recipes would have to be changed. If the formula and packaging recipes are linked, then every time the packaging changes, the formula would need modification. Why is this concept important? Compare how often Coca-Cola changes the formula for Coke with how often the packaging is changed. And a restaurateur may have the option of getting a 5- or 50-gallon metal container with the beverage in syrup form, so that carbonated water can be added later. However, a consumer purchases soda in 12-ounce aluminum cans, or in 16-ounce plastic bottles, or in 1-liter bottles. For example, the beverage manufacturer makes soda in batches of thousands of gallons. In process manufacturing, the finished product is usually produced in bulk, but is rarely delivered in bulk form to the customer. A packaging recipe addresses such things as containers, labels, corrugated cartons, and shrink-wrapping. In process manufacturing you can make as much of a finished product as is specified in the formula for the smallest quantity in stock of one of the ingredients.Ī packaging recipe is similar to a formula, but rather than describing the proportion of ingredients, it specifies how the finished product gets to its final assembly. But in process manufacturing, if you want to make 1,000 gallons of soda and you only have 500 gallons of the required 1,000 gallons of carbonated water, you have the option of making half as much soda. In other words, you must have all the parts in the required quantities to make the finished product they are not scalable. If you are making a car and only have two of the required four tires, you cannot make half a car. Another aspect of scalability is that it makes possible manufacturing based on how much of an ingredient is available. A formula to make 500 liters of a chemical must be scalable to make 250 liters or 1,000 liters. The proportions of ingredients in a formula also highlight the need for another feature, namely scalability. This formulation then needs to be scaled up to the development and then manufacturing scales, and must often be transferred and validated in different manufacturing sites around the world. Furthermore, conversion rules must be specified to account for the unique requirements of the business in question. The first thing to recognize is that to be able to work with a formula, the units of measure must correspond a flexible unit of measure conversion engine running under an ERP software cover is needed. Formulation specifies the ingredients and the amounts (e.g., pounds, gallons, liters) needed to make the product. Chemical, tire, and process industries (CTP)įormulation is a simple concept, but it is often incorrectly equated with a bill of materials.The plastic used in injection moulding is process manufactured, but the components it is shaped into are generally discrete, and subject to further assembly. For example, a bottle of juice is a discrete item, but juice is process manufactured. Although there is invariably cross-over between the two branches of manufacturing, the major contents of the finished product and the majority of the resource intensity of the production process generally allow manufacturing systems to be classified as one or the other. In process manufacturing, the relevant factors are ingredients, not parts formulas, not bills of materials and bulk materials rather than individual units. Process manufacturing is common in the food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, consumer packaged goods, cannabis, and biotechnology industries. Process manufacturing is also referred to as a 'process industry' which is defined as an industry, such as the chemical or petrochemical industry, that is concerned with the processing of bulk resources into other products. Process manufacturing is a branch of manufacturing that is associated with formulas and manufacturing recipes, and can be contrasted with discrete manufacturing, which is concerned with discrete units, bills of materials and the assembly of components. Compare continuous production and continuous-flow manufacturing. However Marble Madness DID auto detect the trackball. So unfortunately in the docs, where it says "For example, Centipede supports the mouse/trackball, and Afterburner supports the stick." it might support the trackball but it doesn't automatically recognize it as that makes it sound, at least not with the default settings. So back to the point of this post, and the reason why I added more ROMs - so that I could test if centipede would automatically recognize my trackball, and it can't. Then rebooted, but now everything is missing.ĮDIT: I rebooted and everything is back again. The only change I made recently was added ROMs to arcade and daphne and macintosh, and run skyscraper, being sure to run the second process that generates the game list. I quit then rebooted and now it's back to just missing my collections. but now my different collections (arcade, macintosh, daphne) aren't showing up on my ES options, and the last time I rebooted, ES even told me that no gamepads are configured, as though I had first used RetroPie. probably could even add it to your entire retroarch but again i don't use mice/etc so I can't say what ramifications that would have on all I don't know why I keep having troubles. just set it up per core in the configuration editor. So yeah i don't know why you're setting things up 'per game' as you would seem to be busywork. mouse is a little trickier as you may have to point it to the right mouse device (several gamepads/keyboards/etc will add mouse devices to your system), but yes it is used when it's needed. In any case, you're looking at the libretro docs (not ours), although they seem to have lifted this section from our docs: which i wrote and are (or at least at the time of writing) correct - if you have analog stick set on your retropad, it's used where appropriate by default. ![]() I'm afraid mame2003 plus is not something i'm familiar with (although perhaps a similar method is in place for mame2003 vanilla since i stopped working on it years ago) In this context, have a decent mousepad is very important. There are so many of us who after playing for a long time (years even) begin to take it fairly seriously. ![]() ![]() The thing that first attracted me to the everglide was that it was the first mouse pad I had seen that was targeted directly at gamers. This review is aimed at the quake-au reader who is fairly picky with his equipment, lans quite regularly, invests large amounts of money in a gaming pc etc…if this is you then I think it’s likely that you’re interested in hearing about a mousepad thats meant to be the very best for gamers… If you just play single player quake, then you probably won’t care much for hearing about the fine details of a mousepad.Įverglide – The First Mouse Pad Made for Gamers If you’ve never done this then it doesn’t matter what mouse pad you have, your mouse is going to suck… It’s amazing how good a clean mouse on a good mouse pad will improve your game… I also assume you’re using one of the ps2rate utils to get maximum mouse performance. (and they have a photo) Also I assume that if you consider which mouse pad you use important, then you already own a quality mouse and clean it regularly. The question is: Is the everglide good enough to make serious gamers switch away from 3M? Before reading the rest of this review, I suggest reading Thresh’s review first… His comments are very good. There is the ‘old’ one (I’ve had mine over 2 years) and the newer one which is a bit bigger and a bit thicker also… My new one seems to slip alot more than my two year old one… so maybe I got a dud, dunno. It’s target market appears to be with professional graphic designers and such, not gaming, yet it has proven to be the standard mousepad for serious gamers. This is a high quality mouse pad aimed at providing maximum accuracy. (this is like a high school report isn’t it! :P ) Up until now most gamers have been using the 3M Precision Mousing Surface (PMS). I’d like to thank the Everglide ppl for sending me the attack pad and for being (somewhat) patient while I try and write up an objective review for quake-au. It was interrupted by the biggest game of the year being released (HalfLife), practicing for Australia’s biggest lan event (Impulse 98) and various other real life constraints. This review was meant to come a long time ago. ![]() In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Billing > Billing & payments.

I give this background because I am having a big issue with mods, which is that only one of the 20 or so that I have moved into that mods folder actually show up when I am starting a game. During the install, somehow one of the choices didn't appear to stick, because most of it appears to be on the D: drive (~22GB) but under the normal C:\users\games\FS22\ directory, there's about 800 meg of stuff, 600 of which is the mods directory where I'd put all the mods I was planning on using. ![]() I was trying with this build to keep almost everything other than the OS off of the boot drive, which is a m.2, and have directed everything I can that I installed after that to go onto the D: drive, including FS22. I understand that you can in the game now download mods directly, which is neat and all that, but I have already downloaded a number of them onto a USB drive and moved them over to the computer. So, I've started playing, I didn't do the patch to it yet, as I know they nerfed the prices of a number of things like eggs for example, so I'd like to build up some resources before I apply it. Well, it took a bit more work than I wanted to deal with, but I decided that I wanted to try this, so I managed to temporarily get the new system connected to the internet and registered. ![]() Unfortunately No, this was discontinued December 2020.ĭo I earn AMC Stubs points for the tickets I reserve?

With its replication ability, you can scale up your website to include as many database servers as you need. ![]() It can roll with modern frameworks like Django (Python), Hibernate (Java), Ruby on Rails, PHP, etc. You can have the best of both worlds - relational and document-oriented - all in one product. It's not just a relational database, it can also double as a NoSQL-style data store. Web tech: PostgreSQL isn't a one-trick pony. Let's look at a few ways PostgreSQL is being put to work today. Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, and Nokia have PostgreSQL buzzing away in the background. It is everywhere, sneaking into the top five most used databases, right on the tail of MySQL. And it's pretty much got your back with any database. PostgreSQL leans towards object-oriented programming, which means you can tweak data types to make your own custom types. It was built to run smoothly and you can slam it into just about any software.Ī niche PostgreSQL meme you will eventually get if you’re not familiar with the database just yet ![]() Plus, you can stretch it to fit whatever enterprise tools you need. It's an open-source, object-relational database management system that isn't just compliant with SQL, but also crammed full of features. And since that day, a mixed bag of developers, support companies, and some volunteers have kept the database software ticking over under its open license. PostgreSQL first stepped onto the scene as version 6.0 on January 29, 1997. It came packing a bunch of features to handle multiple "object-relational" data types, including rules to keep tables in a healthy relationship and data replication across servers. That's the project we now call PostgreSQL-in case you wondering why its name is so funky. Then he circled back to Berkley to kickstart a post-Ingres project to deal with a bunch of headaches other databases were having at that time. ![]() If no one pats you on the back often enough, might as well do it yourself!Ī trailblazer named Michael Stonebraker, the brains behind the Ingres project, ditched Berkley to spin a proprietary version of Ingres. “ The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database”. Now, we're going to dig into the two heaviest hitters in the open-source database arena: PostgreSQL and MySQL. This obviously demands tougher databases to keep up with all that information. Yes, that’s why every website out there is hungry for your cookies, marketing details, habits, and so on. They dig into it to size up their prospective clients, to understand what they're capable of, to dodge risky ventures, and so much more. Now, businesses are cashing in on data big time. Introduction to databasesĭata, simply put, is a bunch of facts and observations.ĭevelopers weren't always bright enough to realize its importance, but as the internet stitched the world closer, it dawned on them that they couldn't just treat data as an optional add-on anymore. Directual itself runs on NoSQL, which we spoke about at some point.Īnyway, let’s roll. Getting a hang of databases and how they work will be very valuable regardless. Oh, and don’t worry that it has little to do with no-code. This teeny-tiny article will explore your options. In reality, no one asks this question, but if you’re just getting into relational databases and data types, it’s good to have an overview of what you might be dealing with next. At some point, every big-shot developer will ask themselves a question: what exactly is the difference between PostgreSQL vs MySQL. ![]() as Ernie Klopman (credited as Pat Harrington), Audra Lindley as Mae Allen, Melanie Mayron as Joyce Adams, Phil Silvers as Morris Beckman, and Stella Stevens as Leonara Klopman.

The court added that Lohan would still not have been owed compensation even if it found her likeness had been used, arguing that advertising laws do not apply to works of fiction in the same way. The actor Lindsay Lohan sued the company in 2014, claiming a character in Grand Theft Auto 5 mirrored her appearance, but the state supreme court of New York dismissed the lawsuit in 2016, ruling the company never mentioned her name, used her photo or featured her acting.

In a 2018 interview with the Florida news station WFLA, Sullivan said tragedies in his life – from the 2014 murder of a friend to the failure of his relationship with his partner – made him feel a kinship to the Joker character, particularly Heath Ledger’s portrayal in The Dark Knight. “That’s me – that’s the person they got their inspiration from me,” Sullivan remarks on the video.
