Epoch to utc12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() It's well documented here DateTimeOffset.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds ![]() Net Framework 4.6 or higher Use the method DateTimeOffset.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds() It returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since T00:00:00.000Z. The Unix epoch is also called Unix time, POSIX time, or Unix timestamp. This means that at midnight of January 1, 1970, Unix time was 0. The Unix epoch is the number of seconds that have elapsed since Januat midnight UTC time minus the leap seconds. If you dont want to create the epoch DateTime instance when moving from DateTime to epoch you can also do: public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date) ToUniversalTime will convert a Local (or Unspecified) DateTime to Utc. Return Convert.ToInt64((date.ToUniversalTime() - epoch).TotalSeconds) To allow for date's Kind being either Utc or Local, use ToUniversalTime: public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date) Note the comment below from CodesInChaos that the above FromUnixTime returns a DateTime with a Kind of Utc, which is fine, but the above ToUnixTime is much more suspect in that doesn't account for what kind of DateTime the given date is. Return Convert.ToInt64((date - epoch).TotalSeconds) Public static long ToUnixTime(this DateTime date) Var epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc) With all credit to LukeH, I've put together some extension methods for easy use: public static DateTime FromUnixTime(this long unixTime) ![]()

Switch between ruby versions linux12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() I posted a question on the pik mailing list asking how I could solve this issue, but as of yet, I have received no reply.īack in my Rails project directory I ran my tests again (using Ruby 1.9.3) and they completed within 20 seconds. This was a bit of a clunky solution, but it worked and for that I was grateful. So, I reverted gem_home to its original value for both Ruby versions, switched to Ruby 1.9.3 and installed Rails a second time. Pik config gem_home =C:/ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1įollowing this, my Ruby 1.9.3 version recognized all of the gems installed under 1.9.2 and although I could run scripts which required other gems (FXRuby for example), annoyingly I still got the same error message when I tried to start the rails server. >echo path PATHc:pik c:rubyRuby187bin >pikinstall C:pik Thank you for. Install pik to a location that’s in your path, but someplace other than your rubybin dir. > gem install pik Successfully installed pik-0.2.6 1 gem installed. Cant switch between ruby versions with rvm. I use Pik to manage multiple versions of ruby on a Windows machine. Gem env => - GEM PATHS: C:/ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 It has Apple pre-installed universal Ruby version 2.0.0. No problemo, I had already installed 1.9.2 using the mighty RubyInstaller.Īfter that, as you can install pik via rubygems, it’s a matter of opening a command prompt and typing: In order to install pik you need a working version of Ruby. Pik bills itself as a tool to manage multiple versions of Ruby on Windows which can be used from the Windows command line (cmd.exe), Windows PowerShell, or Git Bash. Hmmm… I wanted to keep Ruby 1.9.2 installed, but needed a way to speed things up, so I started looking for ways to manage multiple Ruby versions on Windows (yes, I know, Windoof, but just remember that you cannot play Skyrim on Linux without performing a backwards somersault through your own sphincter). I read through a couple of questions on StackOverflow and found that one proposed solution was to upgrade to 1.9.3. I did some Googling and found out that I wasn’t the only one who was having issues with Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9.2. WTF?!? This was something that would seriously slow me down. My minimal set of tests took over one and a half minutes to run. I then started coding, wrote some simple tests then ran rake test from the console. However, as this only needs to be done once (or occasionally twice) per session, I didn’t think much more of it. Whilst ensuring that everything worked as expected, I noticed was that WEBrick was very slow to boot. The remote server currently runs Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.x, so this is what I installed on my local machine. Version managers allow you to install several Ruby versions on your machine and quickly switch between them. ![]() The most popular way to install Ruby on Linux or macOS is using a version manager, such as RVM, rbenv, chruby, or asdf. I had recently started work on a Rails project and was setting up my local dev environment which I wanted to make it as similar as possible to the environment on the server I will deploy to. The main ways to install Ruby are: Version managers. ![]()

![]() Surface Area of a Cube: Since a cube has six equal sides, to find the total surface area, we calculate the area of one side (length × length) and then multiply it by 6. When learning about surface area, it is essential to understand the following basic ideas: Like our skin covers our body, the surface area covers a shape. ![]() In simpler words, it is the area of the ‘skin’ of the shape. The surface area is a measurement of the overall space that the object’s surface takes up. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.Ĭ.7.G.B.6: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms. Here are the Common Core Standards that apply to the surface area of solid shapes:Ĭ.6.G.A.2: Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Shapes, their properties, and their spaces are the focus of the math discipline of geometry. This topic falls under the domain of Geometry. This subject is fascinating for everyone, and we will ensure it’s easy to understand. ![]() However, if you’re a little younger or older, don’t worry. The concept of surface area is typically taught to students around 5th to 7th grade, making it perfect for children ages 10 to 12. Have you ever wondered how much wrapping paper you’d need to cover a birthday gift? How much paint would you need to paint a cube or a sphere? Well, these are the sorts of questions that the concept of surface area can help us answer! Grade Appropriateness But before we go further, let’s think about something.

Reaktor blocks wired tutorial12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() First off, make sure the ‘Edit Mode’ box is on. Since the Reaktor environment is often used simply to open projects created by others, a few options should be switched on before you start building your own projects. If you haven’t already, open Reaktor and create a new ensemble. With that in mind, let’s put together an extremely quick oscillator macro in Reaktor. These waveforms make up the sound sources of most synthesizers, while the other modules we’ll discuss today shape the sound of the oscillators in various ways. The most common types are sine wave, triangle wave, sawtooth and square waves (also called pulse waves). This first How To Build A Synth In Reaktor tutorial assumes that the reader has not built anything in Reaktor yet.īy necessity, I’m going to cover a lot of very basic building stuff to start out, so bear with me, I’ll pick up the pace as soon as possible! OSCILLATORSįirst, we’re going to build a very basic Oscillator macro.Īn OSCILLATOR is a basic piece of any synthesizer that makes a waveform that repeats at a given frequency (usually determined by the note pitch of incoming MIDI notes). ![]() To start out, let’s quickly cover the basics of each component of a subtractive synth, and make a basic macro for each in Reaktor. We have a lot of ground to cover between now and then so let’s get down to it. However, in future tutorials this project will be expanded into a full-blown synth complete with it’s own customized waveforms and filters, built from the ground up. As such the end product will not be very complex nor will it be very musical – building a good synth is a lot of work! This first tutorial will focus on the very basic aspects of building in Reaktor, and creating the bare bones of a synth structure. No prior use or understanding of the Reaktor environment is assumed, and I will do my best to explain every single aspect of the synth from the ground up. Welcome! This tutorial is the first of a series that will teach the absolute beginner the basics of building a subtractive synth in Reaktor. The first in a series of tutorials, How To Build A Synth In Reaktor – A beginners guide will teach an absolute beginner the basics of building a subtractive synth in Reaktor. ![]()

Company chatbot names12/13/2023 ![]() Defining fields within forms and financial applications.Finding local restaurants and providing directions.AI chatbots are commonly used in social media messaging apps, standalone messaging platforms, or applications on websites. Marketers use AI chatbots to personalize customer experiences, IT teams use them to enable self-service, and customer contact centers rely on chatbots to streamline incoming communications and direct customers to resources.Ĭonversational interfaces can vary, too. An AI chatbot, however, might also inquire if the user wants to set an earlier alarm to adjust for the longer morning commute (due to rain).Ĭonsumers use AI chatbots for many kinds of tasks, from engaging with mobile apps to using purpose-built devices such as intelligent thermostats and smart kitchen appliances. This improves their ability to predict user needs accurately and respond correctly over time.įor example, if a user asks about tomorrow's weather, a traditional chatbot can respond plainly whether it will rain. These technologies rely on machine learning and deep learning-elements of AI, with some nuanced differences-to develop an increasingly granular knowledge base of questions and responses that are based on user interactions. Then they use advanced AI tools to determine what the user is trying to accomplish. Today’s AI chatbots use natural language understanding (NLU) to discern the user’s need. In fact, the latest types of chatbots are contextually aware and able to learn as they’re exposed to more and more human language. Over time, chatbots have integrated more rules and natural language processing, so end users can experience them in a conversational way. ![]() They operated like an interactive FAQ, and while they worked well for those specific questions and answers on which they had been trained, they failed when presented with a complex question or one that hadn’t been predicted by the developers. Historically, chatbots were text-based, and programmed to reply to a limited set of simple queries with answers that had been pre-written by the chatbot’s developers. ![]()

52 wedge distance12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() This distance might vary based on the level of expertise of the golfer. On average, the 52-degree wedge distance is 90 yards. ![]() In general, a 52 degrees wedge can cover a distance of about 85 to 100 yards. 52 Degree Wedge Distanceĥ2-degree wedges, like the Cleveland Golf CBX 2 Wedge, are ideal for hitting the golf ball higher in the air at a relatively shorter distance. Check out this Harmonized Golf Wedges by Wilson if you’re looking for a great 50 degree wedge. These wedges are best suited to golfers that would like to cover about 90 yards with their shot. However, women can cover a significantly lesser distance, just about 62 yards on average. Male players can typically cover a distance of 95 yards with a 50 degrees wedge.

Apple final cut pro x12/13/2023 ![]() Part 4: Add Converted Apple Music Songs to Final Cut ProĬreate New Video Projects with Background Music Using Final Cut Pro X.Part 3: Easy Steps to Convert Apple Music Songs to MP3/M4A/WAV.Part 2: TuneMobie Apple Music Converter: The Solution of Adding Apple Music to Final Cut Pro.Part 1: Create New Video Projects with Background Music Using Final Cut Pro X.Or, if you're a pro that wants even more complexity, then you may want to go the way of Adobe Premiere. If your needs are simpler, then iMovie may be enough for you. The fact it undercuts the competition in price significantly is just a great bonus. Features like 4K, HDR and 360-degree video editing, easy social media cropping, online direct sharing and facial recognition smarts all help to make this stand out. Should you buy Apple Final Cut Pro X?Īpple Final Cut Pro X is a relatively affordable way to get pro-level video editing smarts in a package that runs quickly and is intuitively easy to use. Once you buy the Apple Final Cut Pro X software you're then entitled to all updates so you continue to get upgraded features and performance. Apple Final Cut Pro X is available on the Apple App Store for $299, which allows you to install it on multiple Macs at once. How much does Apple Final Cut Pro X cost?Īpple Final Cut Pro X is simple to buy as it has a single price that lets you own the program on your machine – rather than any subscription type model which some use. These are at least a Core 2 Duo processor with macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or newer, an OpenCL-capable video processor, 3.8GB of free disk space and at least 4GB of RAM, although 8GB is recommended. This lets you group similar clips, each with different effects, say, so that you can see which one works best before committing to dropping that option into the main timeline.Įverything runs smoothly even on older machines but it is worth noting, Apple Final Cut Pro X is a 3GB file and there are minimum requirements. Then drag and drop that onto your timeline where two clips are connected and it'll automatically determine the key color to use.Īuditions is another useful, ahem, addition. For example, to use Chroma keying, you'd just search for "keying" in the effects menu. This allows you to search for a specific person in a video and the program will automatically find that face for you, so you can jump right to the point where they appear.Įffects are plentiful and are easy to use with a simple drag and drop system. All that makes for fast editing and with Compound Clips – which groups video, audio and other elements together to be moved as one – the process couldn't be simpler.Ī really powerful feature that helps speed up editing is the advanced facial recognition smarts. These categorize your clips for easy access with the likes of music, effects and dialogue all separated and color coded. Once you've got the hang of that non-traditional magnetized trackless timeline, this is easy to use.Ĭlips are organized into Roles, as the program calls them. Apple Final Cut Pro X: PerformanceĪpple Final Cut Pro X is a great way to work when it comes to being organized. Integration for direct uploads to the likes you YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo also helps when sharing videos online. The ability to edit in 4K and HDR includes HEVC, aka H.265, meaning even higher quality video edits can be compressed for online sharing without taking up too much bandwidth. All that makes this a very capable virtual reality tool for professionals. It's also worth mentioning that the Motion app can edit 3D object animation and features a Stroke filter. That means you have a clear magnetic and, less traditionally trackless timeline, that is intuitive to use.Įxtras like iPad Sidecar (for a second display) and MacBook Touch Bar support help to make this interface even more user friendly for those with the devices to support these features.Īpple has taken user criticism onboard and has updated its already impressive 360-degree editing smarts in Apple Final Cut Pro X to now also offer motion stabilization. Apple Final Cut Pro X: FeaturesĪpple Final Cut Pro X features – where to start? Like the software does, let's keep things simple and point out that this is a very competent video editor. All that said, this may be overqualified for some users, so even that decent price could be overspend. ![]() Final Cut Pro X adds lots of powerful features, like 4K, HDR and 360 editing, while making sure to keep the interface minimal and even beginner user friendly.įrom super easy organization and trackless timelines to facial auto analysis and multicam support, this does a huge amount and manages to do that while keeping the pace up – presuming your machine has the power. If you know audio editing, then the jump between Logic Pro and GarageBand is a good way to compare this video editor to its Apple sibling, iMovie. ![]() |
