![]() I have an abundance of patience, but Ghost on the Shore had those moments where I was getting impatient and was hoping for some closure sooner rather than later. This caused me some frustration as movement is methodical, and you can occasionally miss something while engaged in dialogue with Josh. The core narrative in Ghost on the Shore can’t be missed, though, and this is where it’s comparable to a walking simulator as locations – though beautiful – are linear. On the upside, it was a nice, scenic detour.īesides these clues, Riley will sketch hotspots (accessible from a journal), plus she can also sight numerous collectables to add to the exposition and your growing list of Steam achievements. I’d walk off the track in several spots only to find there was nothing to collect. Aside from some blue, glowing objects that draw your attention, many items are hidden unless you explore every corner, which doesn’t always guarantee a reward. Letters and recordings are located around the islands, piecing together the story: but you have to look for them. Source: Screen capture Ghost in the water. It’s your job to scout out the area by walking around picturesque locations, idyllic cottages, and hunting for clues regarding the former inhabitants. In the beginning, we’re essentially shipwrecked, and Josh is our guide around the islands – only, he doesn’t remember much himself. The voice talent here is brilliant, and I couldn’t fault their performances. I believed them as characters from the start, often forgetting my role as the player. ![]() Choices matter, and while there are no game overs, your decision-making will undoubtedly shape your experience and the conclusion to the story.Ĭonsidering that there are no other characters, to some degree, it’s crucial that we can relate to either Riley, Josh, or both. The way the interaction works is pretty seamless, and there’s only a short window to respond and no repeating of a phrase.

This is not the first time Microsoft has been accused of anti-competitive practices in recent months. “We want government to take action and force Microsoft to allow for a level playing field.” “This gives consumers a free choice,” the group said on its Coalition for a Level Playing Field website. It also asked the EU commission to support open standards and interoperability that make an easy migration possible. Nextcloud is demanding the EU stop Microsoft from “gate keeping” by bundling, pre-installing, or pushing Microsoft services for a level playing field. “This enables people to access their files from multiple devices and keeps documents and photos safe if a device breaks.” “People expect modern operating systems to provide secure and reliable cloud storage functionality whether they’re using a computer, tablet, or phone from any provider,” the spokesperson said. “The cloud services market is generally recognized to be of strategic importance to the development of the overall digital sector in the EU.”Ī Microsoft spokesperson said in an email response to Computerworld that the company makes “it easy for people to select and use other storage options instead of or in addition to OneDrive, and many people do. The European Commission should take a position in this context,” Nextcloud said. Other Big Tech firms are showing similar conduct. “There are deliberate, abusive practices and those practices are no accidents. “This should be addressed without any further delay.” “Behavior as described above is at the core of this dramatic level of growth of the global tech giants in Europe,” Karlitschek said. “It illustrates anti-competitive practices such as ‘self-preferencing’ on the basis of the market dominance of Windows.”įrank Karlitschek, CEO and founder of Nextcloud, also pointed out in his blog that over the last several years, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have grown their market shares to 66% of the total European market, while local European software and service providers have declined from 26% to 16%. This is what Nextcloud and other European firms are fighting against.Īt the current rate, Europe will have no independent local alternatives, which may end up becoming subsidiaries of American businesses.“Microsoft’s combination of the dominant Windows (operating software) with the OneDrive (cloud) offering makes it nearly impossible to compete with their SaaS services,” Nextcloud said in a blog post. ![]() While this dominance increases revenue for American companies, it also allows them to leverage their position to push their own services in related industries. This is yet another indication of how American firms are more desired. The UK recently made a deal with AWS for the creation of secure cloud storage for its security agencies. Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS are all from American firms. The runner-ups, such as IBM and Rackspace, are also American.Įven operating systems are largely US-based. If one looks at the best cloud hosting providers, the top three are AWS, Microsoft, and Google-all American-owned. Digital DominationĪmerican companies dominate the Western market to the detriment of European services. Slack recently filed a competition complaint against Microsoft over its integration of MS Teams into MS Office. Nextcloud isn’t the only cloud company with an anti-competitive grievance against Microsoft. ![]() Microsoft’s OneDrive is a solid storage solution, but healthy competition does tend to drive innovation. This, in turn, stopped nearly all innovation. Nextcloud’s CEO, Frank Karlitschek, says that this is “quite similar” to the way Microsoft killed the competition in the browser market 20 years ago. The firm says that Microsoft is locking out the competition by leveraging its position. At the same time, the market share of local providers has shrunk from 26% to 16%. Nextcloud points out that Microsoft has grown its market share to 66% in Europe. The cloud tech company asserts that by pushing customers to sign up for its products and hand over their data, Microsoft is limiting their choices. Joined by several nonprofit, open-source firms, Nextcloud leads the complaint. The Coalition is made up of various European cloud and software companies, including the European DIGITAL SME Alliance and the Document Foundation. It asserts that Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of its own apps is anti-competitive. The Coalition for a Level Playing Field has issued a complaint against Microsoft’s OneDrive Windows integration. The other downside of candy paints is that they are a bit more challenging to apply evenly than typical automotive finishes, however, professional custom painters typically master the techniques relatively quickly. All our UreKem clears are fortified with a synergistic blend of UV reducing additives. screeners and durable resins to help reduce the level of UV exposure on the candy layer. One of the most critical factors influencing the longevity of these finishes is the quality of the clearcoat. It's impossible to predict with a lot of certainly exactly how long a kandy paint job might last. ![]() Depending on the level of outdoor exposure candy paints can last anywhere from one to 5 years and in some cases more before the candy layer begins to fade to a washed out look. Unfortunately, the special coloring agents used to give a true candy look do not withstand attach from the sun's U.V. The kandy color look is truly unique but does come with some drawbacks. ![]() In fact, in many circles kandy paint is known for the "wet look" as much or more than the uniqueness of the color itself. Furthermore, the number of layers or coats required to achieve the final color often results in a very deep and wet looking final finish. Since the base color contributes highly to the final color, changing the base color can dramatically, or subtly change the color of the final finish. Part of the appeal of this type of color is the opportunity to create unique variations of the colors by using different base colors. Therefore, special proprietary coloring agents must be used to give a highly transparent finish. ![]() The system works as long as the candy layer is transparent. As such, these colors are said to be a "three stage" or "tricoat" system. Candy colors work in conjunction with reflective basecoats, usually metallic, and clearcoat to create a finish system that exhibits a deep, colored sparkle that is not attainable with typical automotive paints. ![]() Or are the best code editors for OS X free in 2021? Github built a powerful free editor called Atom before Microsoft bought Github. It’s cramped but less distracting than the two tier version.īefore I drop another $40 into BareBones’ coffers, I’d like to know what I’m missing out on and if there’s a better code editor in which to invest. Superficially, the two applications look almost identical, along with the menus but two tier title bar has been reduced to a single bar. ![]() I don’t much use the Markup menu to write HTML any more as I usually write in Markdown and when I’m not writing Markdown I know my HTML commands well enough to write the tags outright myself. Syntax highlighting, SFTP mode, multifile search, diff all work great for me with Regex lurking in the background as a new temptation. I’m happy with how v11 works and not missing much. As I’m currently running v11.1.4 it’s time to consider upgrading. But the manual wants to make sure that long-time customers (I believe it was on Version 4 when I first bought it) don’t get confused by changes in behavior, even when those changes occurred nearly two decades ago.My long time main code editor BBEdit just updated to version 14. As I was looking up the notation for named groups in the BBEdit manual, I ran across this note:īBEdit is currently on Version 12.5 Version 6.5 came out in 2001. When a well-documented app has such a long history, the manual starts to accumulate delightful callbacks to the olden days. My general feeling is that if the pattern is so complicated I have to use variables to keep track of all the groups, I should stop and break the problem down into smaller parts.īy the way, you may have heard that BBEdit is celebrating its 25th anniversary of not sucking. ![]() I don’t think I’ve ever used a named group in any situation, whether the regex was in a text editor or a script. Here’s how that would have looked, using var as the pattern name: So after undoing the replacement, I changed the pattern to this, In other words, if I had been trying to change a10, v10, and x10 to az, vz, and xz, a replacement pattern of \1z would have been just fine, because the trailing z means there’s no way to misinterpret the intent of the \1 in that pattern. But in most cases, we can use \1 through \9 instead of \01 through \09 because there’s no ambiguity. You see, BBEdit can capture up to 99 groups in the search pattern and, strictly speaking, we should use two-digit numbers when referring to them in the replacement pattern. Since captured group 13 was blank, all my variable names were replaced with 0. Had I done so, I would have seen that BBEdit was interpreting my replacement pattern as “Captured group 13, followed by 0” instead of “Captured group 1, followed by 30,” which was what I intended. But I wasn’t clever enough to notice the blue coloring in the replacement pattern. And because I think I’m clever, I didn’t want to do three non-regex replacements, one each for a10, v10, and x10. I couldn’t just replace 10 with 30 because there were instances of 10 in the code that weren’t related to the variables. I brought up BBEdit’s Find window and entered this: ![]() The variables were named a10, v10, and x10, and I wanted to change them to a30, v30, and x30, respectively. I thought it would be a simple regex find/replace, and it was. Next post Previous post Regex groups and numeralsĪ week or so ago, I was editing a program and decided I should change some variable names. ![]() In consequence, I got stuck in starting docker-engine, though I found the solution on StackOverflow.

I want to continue to use and build Docker on my current VPS node, as it has a good latency between Tokyo and Beijing, with a low ping of about 80ms. And Docker is a trend in infrastructure field. Even I can scale my applications by the power of Docker.Įvery cutting-edge popular (somehow over-hyped) technology solves problems. I can run the independent parts in different containers and rebuild a new Linode by initiating all the containers in an efficient way. 3ĭocker just meets my requirement, because of its container system. This makes for efficient, lightweight, self-contained systems and guarantees that software will always run the same, regardless of where it’s deployed. Unlike VMs, containers do not bundle a full operating system - only libraries and settings required to make the software work are needed. Using containers, everything required to make a piece of software run is packaged into isolated containers. Programs run in restricted sandboxes with isolated resources.ĭocker is a major containerization software, which packs applications into image and runs in container.For example, iptables is needed by VPN and it may cause failure of Nginx’s port with wrong configuration.Īlso, it’s not only a production server but also used in development mode, which generates trashes in system folders. Disturbance Among Servicesĭifferent programs may have conflicts with each other. For example, Shell injection and actually I just fixed one on the projects. In addition to aforementioned attacks, there are other kind of security risks. Especially setting up VPN server is not easy and fallible. I then changed the default SSH port and it took tens of minutes to rebuild manually. On July, it was attacked and I had to rebuild my Linode. VPS provisioning is not automated and manual provisioning is trivial and boring. It seems not complicated but I did encounter problems on ops and security. PPTP VPN (changed to L2TP, since PPTP support is removed in iOS 10 2).Shadowsocks server (the core function, VPN is kind of a substitute).Personal website (generated by Jekyll, HTTPS certificated by Certbot 1, served by Nginx).With the deterioration of China’s web environment, I have to build VPN and Shadowsocks for myself, which is useful for productivity.Īt present, there are several services running on the VPS: I update and deploy my personal website frequently, and I use GitHub webhook to trigger the updating script. So far, I use Linode VPS to deploy my websites. Thus, I decided to try Docker and now I want to share the process and my thought. Fortunately, I encountered problems with my own VPS. I have no chance to use Docker, since the company I serve has been on private PaaS years before. Docker is the hyped technology in backend recently. Of course, other aspects such as the letter forms, kerning, etc. I don’t want you to think that shadows are all we need to make our lettering piece look good. They make them more appealing and stay connected with the viewer, and this is because they look realistic, just as real as the things around you right now. Try to look at all the stuff around you right now and imagine they only had one pigment just like the first figure. Shadows are basically the area where the light can barely enter or cannot enter at all. This funky 3D look of the second figure is made possible with the help of shadows. They are the same word written by the same person, using the same strokes.īut there is a big difference between the two: The first figure looks good but plain and flat, whereas the second one seems to be more realistic with its 3D effect.
