![]() As I describe things, I will give more detailed example sentences and context.īecause Dwarven is analytic, syntax is very important. From that, I had to develop or invent everything. That was more or less everything I could glean from the game’s presentation of Dwarven. In Dwarf Fortress, mabdug (ale) is the same as mabdug (ales). In English, an S is added to make something plural: ale becomes ales. Similarly, singular nouns are not changed to make them plural. For example, the base form of the verb deb (eat) is the same as its “changed” form deb (eats). In language_DWARF and language_words, we can see that the forms of words are never changed to convey meaning. So, the sentence he eats is both analytic (it uses the helper word he) and synthetic (it changes the form of the verb). That pronoun tells us that one man is performing the action. A helper word is usually added too, in this case a pronoun (a word that takes the place of a noun) such as he. The form of the word was changed, in that an S was added. From that one word, we know that the action is happening now and only one actor is doing it. Eats means it is in the present and singular. For example, the verb eat can be changed to convey meaning. a little analytic and a little synthetic. This is the opposite of a synthetic language, which conveys meaning through changing the forms of words. The file language_DWARF also shows that Dwarven is mostly an analytic language, but first I should explain what that word means.Īnalytic means that the language conveys meaning through helper words and syntax. In Latin, articles and prepositions are often implied by context and syntax, so I supposed that Dwarven was like that too. Latin also does not have articles, and it has only sparse prepositions. The “the” before “ancient” is not in the Dwarven name, just as the “of” isn’t. We can also see that Dwarven does not have articles (“the” and “a” and “an”) or prepositions (words that express direction, position, etc.: of, between, beyond, beside, on, under, over, and so on). We can see some syntax (word order) too: adjectives precede nouns, and the noun being modified is placed at the end of the compound word. From this name we can tell that Dwarven is agglutinative (it has many compound words, which are larger words comprised of conjoined smaller words, e.g. I couldn’t be bothered to scroll down the list. The name was:Ībbeylashed the Ancient Angry Axe-Animal of Ale ![]() My only clue was the fortress names, so I used one of those as the basis of the whole language. There were no other kinds of words like prepositions, adverbs, or conjunctions, and there was no hint of grammar. ![]() ![]() ![]() Furthermore, language_DWARF contains only a few hundred adjectives, nouns, and verbs. For example, Dwarven didn’t have a word for dwarf! I hope that you will help invent words and amend the lexicon, as I really don’t want to create thousands of words alone. One very frustrating aspect of this endeavor was the limited lexicon (total vocabulary) of language_DWARF. I hope that Dwarven can become the secret code of all DF players, our little Esperanto! Also, I probably forgot some bits of grammar, so I am relying on you to notice my mistakes and gaps. This necessarily involves some linguistics mumbo-jumbo, but I will try to explain it or not rely on it so much so everyone understands. and eventually it was almost a whole language, and I post the result of my effort here. I wanted to make fortress names more interesting, so I decided to give the in-game dwarven language a little grammar. ![]() ![]() Stephen King can do, and has done, much better than this in his career. To be honest if I was the editor this book wouldn't have been published. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Insomnia? What aspect of Eli Wallach’s performance might you have changed? Has Insomnia put you off other books in this genre? On top of this, the added "music" track is incredibly loud and obnoxious, detracts from the story every single time it is used, and actually drowns out the actor as he mumbles up a storm. It becomes more and more ridiculous as it meanders its way through both nice, touching, scenes, and book destroying plot content. Story-wise it is overly-long, and far too drawn out for the quality of the content. Honestly, I'm a big fan of Stephen King, but I don't think anyone will enjoy this particular audiobook. If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? And yes, I realise that's the point - the lead character is functioning on increasingly fewer and fewer hours' sleep, the music is no doubt meant to mirror his frazzled nerves - but whoever thought this ear drum-jangling cacophony was a good idea and would compliment the actor's reading - it damn well doesn't! It's discordant and unnecessarily loud and it's driving me up the wall. except for the incredibly intrusive incidental music that cruelly punctuates the reading at far too frequent and inopportune moments. And it's just as enjoyable to listen to as to read. Finding it here and read by Eli Wallach - a 'proper' Hollywood actor of a classic era - made its purchase a no brainer. Insomnia is a favourite of mine and I've read it a couple of times. ![]() ![]() All the actors that spring to mind for Ralph are too old (or dead) - Jimmy Stewart would have been super. When a certain character got his comeuppance.Ĭould you see Insomnia being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?ĭefinitely, as with a gazillion other Stephen King books. Sadly the memorable moments are the most frustrating (see comments below). What was one of the most memorable moments of Insomnia? ![]() It's a lengthy and enjoyable reading which in my opinion makes this purchase money well spent Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Great story, great reading - dreadful music Torn between genuinely wanting to listen to the rest of the story and driving my car straight off a cliff whenever "ol' forky" would start up I thought it the safest option. Its a really different sound, he attacks guitars with forks." 2)The producer of the audio book is actually a failed writer and, jealous of Mr King's achievements, has set about in a life long vendetta to destroy him.starting with the audio books. He hasn't worked in while but thats mostly so he can work on his music. ![]() 1) The musician is a relative of some well meaning member of the production team and got the gig because they were trying to cut them a break. I can only think of two reasons why someone would want to destroy Mr King's book in this manner. So why WOULDN'T you ladle on someone plucking guitar strings with a fork over the beginning of EVERY CHAPTER. I mean, its not like he's built a reputation on writing thrillers so immersive that Hollywood will happily spend millions trying to transfer his books into movies. Right enough, Stephen King is well know for writing bland and boring books. What I'd like to know is what, exactly, compelled the production team to overlay "suspenseful" muzak over the narrator to the point where we can't actually hear what he's reading. I don't normally write reviews for audio books.even when they are not that great, but the production on this book is so astoundingly poor that I felt I had to.

![]() But as I had a huge bulk order to place I sent 2 requests to Basic, 2 requests to Premium, and 2 requests to Elite. My partner wanted to go straight to the $10.50 crowd. I can also send it to the “Elite” writers – and it will cost $18.50. Or I can send it to the “Premium” writers – a 1000 word article will cost $10.50. For example – I can request an article to the “Basic” writers – a 1000 word article will cost $7.50. ![]() If you are doing a bulk order, test it out. Going for $3 500 word articles will result in crap the majority of the time. Not always the case – but if you aim for cheap articles, you usually WILL get the horrible spun content that is barely readable. I’ve learned a few tricks during that time that I’d like to share: It’s been in a variety of different fields including multimedia, novels, landlording, technology and general blog content. The majority of it has been non-gambling content. In the past couple of months, I’ve had about 500+ articles written at iWriter. But it really opened my eyes to the people who are writing on these sites, and made me a lot more accepting. I got some absolutely horrendous content too by people who clearly don’t know a lick of English. Another was a guy who had a boring office job and so he did it during office time. 1 was a stay at home mom who did it to make some extra money, and would do writing while her newborn was napping. 2 of them were grad students who were looking for extra money during the Summer. I ended up speaking to a few writers privately and asking them about themselves. Some of it was absolutely fantastic – the point that I felt a bit crappy because I was clearly getting the better end of the deal. However I was pleasantly surprised by the content I received. I was worried that all I would get is horrifically spun content and it’d set me back a week. All the power is in your hands.Īs I said to open this article – I was concerned about this being a waste of time. It’s a very solid service, and is extremely favourable towards the webmaster. If it’s utter crap, you simple reject it – and can choose not to allow that writer to see any of your requests again – then it goes back on the marketplace, and another writer will claim it. If you think it is good but a bit rough, you can choose to “request a rewrite” and give notes as to how they can sort it out. You can then review the article – which has already been ran through copyscape. You’ll get a notification that an article has been submitted. You don’t have to pay unless you are happy with it. They then have a set time to write the article and submit it. The writers then see the articles, and “claim” them. It’s about a 5 minute process, and then you send the job off to writers.
![]() ![]() When to call a doc about lactose intolerance Symptoms will last until the alcohol passes through your system, or around 12 to 48 hours after drinking. Those with alcohol intolerance typically notice probs within 20 minutes of having a cocktail, beer or glass of wine. Symptoms usually emerge within minutes to up to 2 hours of consumption. When people with this autoimmune condition eat gluten, it causes damage to your small intestine. ![]() Celiac disease is a more serious form of gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance typically flares up shortly after eating gluten (like, a matter of minutes) and can last for days. Dairy intolerance symptoms usually happen within 2 hours of consumption and can last for up to 72 hours. IBS symptoms can last for days or even months. Here’s how long you can expect symptoms from a few of the most common ones to last: Meanwhile, food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance, stem from your body’s inability to break down a particular food (see: gluten) and usually only impact your digestive system. So, what’s the difference? Basically, a food allergy refers to an immune system reaction that can cause serious symptoms throughout your body like, hives, itching, facial and throat swelling (think peanuts and shellfish). However, lots of foods can trigger IBS, while dairy is the sole culprit of lactose intolerance.Īccording to the FDA, lactose intolerance is also not to be confused with the (much less common) milk allergy, which causes more serious symptoms like: Food allergies, food intolerances, and other digestive conditions can likewise wreak havoc on your digestive system.įor instance, according to the Office of Women’s Health, lactose intolerance causes similar symptoms to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) including stomach pain, cramps and diarrhea. Your tummy probs just might point to something other than lactose intolerance. Hmm, how long do other food intolerance symptoms last? Fermenting lactose often causes a buildup of hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide in your gut: One chemical reaction no one wants to witness. You don’t want to be on a crowded subway when lactose intolerance strikes. When trapped gas pushes against your intestinal walls, it can lead to aches and pains. Lactose intolerance is seriously a pain in the butt… and gut. Diarrhea happens when undigested lactose ferments (yeah, like how pickles ferment) in your gut, causing increased water retention. ![]() Like the “Bob’s Burgers” song goes, “some people think it’s funny, but it’s really wet and runny: diarrhea.” Yep, pretty much. If you have lactose intolerance, nausea often happens within 2 hours of nomming on some yogurt, cheese, or ice cream. You’ll usually feel it around your belly button. Bloating happens due to trapped water and gas in your intestines. Nothing like eating a few slices of extra cheesy pizza… until the bloat comes on, that is. In the meantime, you might experience any of the following symptoms: Hold tight, though: According to a research review, unpleasant effects typically fizzle out within 48 hours max unless you keep eating lactose-containing products. The severity of your symptoms might vary based on how much dairy you downed and the amount of lactase your bod produces. But when you feel like a dairy demon crawled in your gut, understandably, it might feel otherwise. Though lactose intolerance can be stressful, the experts from Harvard Health Publishing say it’s not a dangerous condition. Most of the time, symptoms of lactose intolerance can happen about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating dairy and will go away when it completely passes through your system. Moo, hiss: How long do lactose intolerance symptoms last, really? ![]() ![]() ![]() Spam on /r/sailormoon is defined as any link not relevant to Sailor Moon, or very low effort posts in general.

It's difficult to compare GitHub and GitLab's pricing. But, if programming is your company's living, you'll need more. That may be enough for you if you're a solo programmer or have a small team. These come with unlimited public and private repositories. See also: GitHub enables two-factor authentication mechanism through iOS, Android app Pricingīoth services offer free plans. According to the programming tools company JetBrains, 77% of developers use GitHub regularly compared to 40% for GitLab and 25% for BitBucket. That said, GitHub is clearly the 800-pound gorilla of the VCS world. While some users did flee GitHub for GitLab and Atlassian BitBucket at the time, Microsoft taking over was never truly a huge factor for most. To some, Microsoft will always be the Evil Empire, despite Microsoft's constant showing its support for open-source methods and software - or how often Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he loves Linux. When Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018, many expected a mass exodus of its users. So, if all you want is basic Git functionality but with someone else to worry over keeping Git up and running, either service will do well for you. Still, fundamentally, both offer web-based repositories with open-source, Git-based code management and local file changes with a remote repository. In this model, the GitLab Community Edition remains free and open-source, while the GitLab Enterprise Edition has more features and comes with support.Īs for GitHub, while its code contains some open-source code, it's not an open-source project.

![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, at each step, we check whether there could be a point on the other side of the splitting plane that is closer to the search point than the current best.Ĭonceptually, we are checking if a hypersphere around the query point with a radius equal to the current nearest distance intersects the splitting hyperplane of the node. During each unwinding of the recursion, we keep track of the distance and update the current best. Once we reach a leaf node, we compute the distance between the query point and that leaf node, and save it as the “current best”. At each level, we decide whether to go down the left or right subtree based on which side of the splitting hyperplane the query point lies. Starting at the root node, we recursively move down the tree until we reach a leaf node, following a similar process as when inserting a node. To accomplish this, we traverse the tree and compare the distance between the query point and the points in each leaf node. K-D trees are widely used for nearest-neighbor searches, where the objective is to find the point in the tree that is closest to a given query point. This alternative practice can be less computationally expensive than sorting the entire array of points. To address the added complexity, we can sort a fixed number of randomly selected points and use the median of those points as the splitting plane. One approach to finding the median is to use a sorting algorithm, sort the points along the selected axis and take the middle point. ![]() If the median point is not selected, there is no guarantee that the tree will be balanced. It is also worth noting that finding the median can add some complexity, as it requires the usage of another algorithm. To achieve this, it’s essential to select the median point every time. If the above algorithm is executed correctly, the resulting tree will be balanced, with each leaf node being approximately equidistant from the root. This process is repeated recursively for each child node, selecting a new axis and splitting the points based on their position relative to the new hyperplane. The left child of the root node is then created with the points in the subset that lie to the left of the hyperplane, while the right child is created with the points that lie to the right. ![]() |
