![]() Can you be an iOS developer with no UIKit knowledge? Of course. Does it help to have UIKit knowledge to be an iOS developer? Yes. The article is aimed at beginners, so don’t be surprised that there’s no mention of Objective-C, UIKit or similar. I think it’s a very good read (or, if you prefer, a very good 53 minutes video □). Happy Thursday! I want to link to Paul Hudson’s guide on how to become an iOS developer.

I have always considered that linking to paid products should be in the form of a sponsored message. Happy Thursday!

However, that announcement in September was easy to miss as it was overshadowed by the surprise release of iOS 14. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as it was initially announced in September last year and it fits the schedule from the previous years. ![]() In other news, Apple announced that starting April 26, all apps submitted to the App Store have to be built with Xcode 12 and the iOS 14 SDK. Xcode 12.5 requires macOS Big Sur, so if you haven’t updated yet, be sure to do that before downloading and unxipping Xcode 12.5. I’m not going to cover the hardware announcements, but as I was expecting soon after that we got the Xcode 12.5 RC. Happy Thursday! We had the Apple Spring Event this week. Sam Hight spoke of his family's 110 history in the automotive industry, dating back to the days of his Great-Grandfather Walter Hight selling Model T's out of his livery stable.

It doesn’t help that the writing is also painfully dull and uninspired as much of it is painful to listen to. This only gets worse as time goes on as you will come across more and more boring, lifeless characters that are either under-acting or simply just reading a cue card while others come across as over-acting as if they were in a high school play. Voice Actingīefore the game even truly allows you to explore its open world and get into the action, you may immediately get the feeling that the voice actors are a little inexperienced. In fact, I think each of the above points is worth its own dedicated section just so you can get a clearer understanding of how frustrating they are and why they nearly ruined my experience with Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Within my first twenty minutes of the game, I felt like the controls were working against me and I had hoped this was due to a skill try that might improve Aiden‘s abilities but I never truly felt like I had even come close to even slightly mastering the parkour tricks by the time I had finished the campaign. While the game centers around a unique way to traverse around the city and its surrounding areas, I often found that the controls were clunky, occasionally non-responsive, and difficult to master. Perhaps the biggest feature of Dying Light 2 is its parkour abilities. Additionally, the RPG elements eventually crumble faster than the civilization in Villedor due to there being far too much loot that can be sold at low cost but amassing wealth quickly and being able to sleep through the days in the blink of an eye in order to reset vendor inventory so you can get what you want. The game is not without its fun, of course, but those moments are overshadowed by the missing content, atrocious writing, and unbelievably stiff voice acting from people who clearly do not do it by profession. And while many players were satisfied with the story due to the gameplay being more significant to the experience, I could not help but notice that almost every aspect of Stay Human felt significantly lacking. The plot of Dying Light 2: Stay Human seems reasonable enough at first but as Aiden continues to search for answers, it is clear early on that a lot of content was cut or scrapped leaving many plot threads dangling without resolve, especially the ending. Believing Waltz knows where Mia is, Aiden follows every possible lead he can which ultimately puts him in the middle of civil unrest between multiple factions of survivors. After “The Fall” of humanity caused by a second zombie virus outbreak due to the GRE’s illegal testing on the virus from the first game, much of civilization has crumbled save for a few settlements that are struggling to survive, such as the city of Villedor.Īiden attempts to find answers as to the possible whereabouts of Mia in the city all the while tracking a sadistic scientist named Waltz who experimented on Aiden and Mia when they were children. We didn’t have time to sink into a full playthrough of the game at its release, considering it boasts RPG elements and allegedly requires 500 hours to complete (which is not accurate at all), but now that I have finally gotten around to completing the entire campaign, I have some thoughts… PlotĪ sequel to 2015’s Dying Light, Stay Human takes place 15 years later and follows a wandering Nomad (coined “Pilgrim”) named Aiden who is searching for his missing sister Mia amid a pandemic that has wiped out the majority of the earth’s population. Earlier this year, developer and publisher Techland released Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the open-world zombie game, on all major consoles and PC platforms. Phi is closely associated with the Fibonacci sequence, in which every subsequent number in the sequence is found by adding together the two preceding numbers. Related: The 11 Most Beautiful Mathematical Equations This is five raised to the one-half power, times one-half, plus one-half. One final and rather elegant way to represent phi is as follows: (notice how the numbers after the decimal point are the same) and is sometimes known as little phi. The first solution yields the positive irrational number 1.6180339887… (the dots mean the numbers continue forever) and this is generally what's known as phi. The energy is reproducible.This representation can be rearranged into a quadratic equation with two solutions, (1 + √5)/2 and (1 - √5)/2. This energy was found on NASA video creating atmospheric sprites delivering liquid oxygen into the mesosphere as well as the source for Whistler waves or ionosphere sound effects. During this research phase the energy was found in artworks of ancient Egypt in the “Book of coming to light “ and some Caves in Europe from cave dwellers. Antihydrogen fusion appears as a twelve foot ringed disc. Lithosphere magnetic field studies show positive electromagnetic field interactions with negative magnetic field lines. This self contained antimatter flashlight lives in our parallel electromagnetic field (positron) called plasma tubes surrounding the earth but is also found in parallel to other electromagnetic fields triggering ground to sky lightning points above aquifer systems. The antihelium travels to the outer ring of the Van Allen belt protecting us from the sun. The Fibonacci sequence/spiral is created by Antihydrogen fusion which converts antihelium to aether or zero point energy or dark energy in the configuration of the fusion or Fibonacci Spiral in three pulsing energy levels 3-6-9 The process is controlled by thermodynamics via liquid oxygen which is also directly related to Panspermia during atmospheric sprite production.

I was able to discover the 24 digit repeat cycle from his work using Mod9. His work is very impressive to say the least, and I’m sure with a community like this one, and the community many more discoveries will happen. I wanted to introduce the work of a guy that has been working with the 60 Digit Fibonacci repeat cycle and has worked it out onto Metatrons Cube as a Clock and A Compass. Any three, six, or 9 numbers in a row will give you a sum of 3, 6, or 9. Every third number in this sequence has a sum of 3 and every six numbers has a sum of 6 and every nine numbers has a sum of 9. Weird everything seems to be connected through 9. But five does have its own pattern when multiplying then summing, its every 9. If you double any number then add the original back the sum will always equal 3 or a denomination of with the exception of 5 but that’s just a mystery waiting to be solved.ġ+1=2. Also he found that earth beats at 528Hz the sum of this is 528=5+2+8=6 6 is a very special never if squared it equals the sum of all digits excluding nine but equaling it. Think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration. Nikola Tesla was right when he said 3, 6, 9 were the key to the universe. Same goes for all other shapes you add up the sum of their angles and they all reduce to 9. ![]() When visiting a circle the numbers always add to 9.ģ60=3+6+0=9. With the Fn single digits I paired adjacent numbers to form new numbers and they still formed a Fn sequence.ġ44,89 _441-98 =343 343_ 343-*233*=110_110/2=*55* The other two involve a negative number which resolves by breaking the number up and subtracting.btw…109 also has a unique Fibonacci connection with 89. ![]() By reversing the digits in a mirror image and subtracting there is a “new “number that is the mirror of a Fn,Ī few of the sums had more calculations than a mirror flip and subtraction.įor instance 610 flipped is 1006.The digits are intact and “mirrored” like a circle but the sum isn’t flipped. I was looking at the Fn sequence and noticed that even when the digits are flipped they still sum to the Fn sequence. Thanks to Joseph Turbeville for sending “A Glimmer of Light from the Eye of a Giant” and to Helga Hertsig for bringing Jain’s discovery of this pattern to my attention. Opening for Jay was a really funny and great new comedian Jeff Norris. “If I’m still alive this time next year I’ll be back.” It was kind of tearful, but a great performance still. Jay closed his show with “Some Enchanted Evening “ from the play and movie “South Pacific” and a hit by Jay and the Americans and “This Magic Moment.” As Jay left the stage the audience broke out with Happy Birthday to him. □Īt one point when Jay sang “Come a Little Bit Closer” he told the audience to sing the chorus which occurs three times in the song and they did and It sounded beautiful too. His son had a daughter and what does he name her? Layla! like Eric Clapton’s song at which point he turned to his son and said kiddingly “Go play in Clapton’s band” and everyone laughed. Jay tells the story that when Cara Mia was popular in the 60’s 100,000 people named their daughters Cara. His one son is 45 years old and plays in his band and also works on Wall Street. Jay has four kids and several grandkids and one great grandson. It’s as if he’s in your living room talking to you personally and reminiscing about his life and being on the road with Jay and the Americans. ![]() ![]() □īacked by a 10 piece orchestra consisting of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, three guitars, piano and drums, Jay delivered as he opened his set with the Roy Orbison hit song “Pretty Woman” followed by the Neil Diamond song “Solitary Man.” Every time I see Jay he tells pretty much the same stories, but I never tire of hearing him tell them. One is from several years ago (2011) on a PBS special and one is from last year at Tarrytown Music Hall in Tarrytown New York where he gives a little story intro to it. However he hit all the notes perfectly and the audience roared in approval giving him standing ovations especially on “Cara Mia.” I’ve included two links below of Jay doing Cara Mia. He’s much older now and has had recent health issues and tonight he said he saw the doctor this week and the doctor told him not to sing as he had tracheatis which is damage to his windpipe, but he told the doctor I can’t let the people of BergenPac down so he performed anyway and apologized if he couldn’t hit the notes anymore. I’ve seen Jay many times over the years and he never fails to disappoint. He’s known as “The Voice” for his richness and deep and long holding notes. He was the lead singer for Jay and the Americans known for such hits as “Cara Mia,“ “Only in America,” “Come a Little Bit Close” and many others which Jay performed Saturday night. ![]() For those of you who may not be familiar with Jay Black.

Covey ultimately determine the consequences. Our values govern our behavior, while principles Author Stephen R. He sees principles as external natural laws, while values remain internal and subjective. In doing this, Covey is deliberately and mindfully separating principles and values. He promotes what he labels "the character ethic": aligning one's values with so-called universal and timeless principles. Covey argues against what he calls "the personality ethic", that he sees as prevalent in many modern self-help books. publishing history to sell more than one million copies. The audio version became the first non-fiction audiobook in U.S. Covey's best-known book, it has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide since its first publication. He further claims that effectiveness can be expressed in terms of the P/PC ratio, where P refers to getting desired results and PC is caring for that which produces the results. He illustrates this by referring to the fable of the goose that laid the golden eggs. Covey defines effectiveness as the balance of obtaining desirable results with caring for that which produces those results. calls "true north" principles based on a character ethic that he presents as universal and timeless.

"It's much more politically expedient to surge police officers to push people out of sight rather than to actually address the root causes," she said. Simone calls the encampment sweeps a massive waste of resources that could instead be used to address the critical needs of the homeless population. They argue that the policing-focused strategies the city is using to persuade people to go to shelters in fact perpetuate the decades-long crisis.Īdvocates say the number of people placed in shelters as the result of such encampment sweeps make up a small fraction of those who enter municipal shelters willingly. The mayor's office pointed to the latest encampment sweep numbers as a sign that he is following through on his promises.īut homeless advocates say the approach is a return to misguided tactics.
