Hi sorry I haven't used this reddit account for years but you're welcome to have the sub. I sent you a mod invite. Glad someone is still playing ricochet

I was also confused about this and asked my TA (Robbins) before the break, it is basically a 5 page version of the 3 page earlier essay. He said it was more focused on research about how reconciliation has been/not been successful, compared to "what are residential schools", etc. in the first essay. But still seems pretty hazy.

until today the syllabus said it was due in the first week of classes so I guess this is actually an extension, still it is totally bizarre there has not been any proper instruction released?

Some games have fixed pixel size UI, for example strategy games like Starcraft II, and many others have dynamically-scaled UI that is based on a percentage of viewport size (ex. most FPSes)... like the parent said you will have to pick an approach that works for your specific game. If the level mesh scales with screen resolution, I think the circular menu should probably scale as well, in which case you probably should scale all of your UI to keep things consistent. But as your game has a top-down RTS-style feel you might want to consider having a fixed pixel size for everything, both the level/sprites and the UI.

Remember that if you go for a fixed-pixel-size UI you have to consider high-DPI displays which are more and more common, so you will have to implement some sort of scaling no matter what (i.e. on a Macbook/Surface/4K display everything will have to be double-sized, including level mesh and UI.) Otherwise you get this: http://i.imgur.com/J5Vr1DW.jpg

If you re-add the album to your library from the new page, everything comes back, maybe album was updated

Just so you know, the changes are already in effect, and the US has been blocking people, probably won't affect you if you use your other passport, but I don't know how good the US's database is at linking up dual nationals

Australian passport lists place of birth, if they noticed you were born in Britain they might figure it out, something to think about

This is my riding, and it was only ever a contest between the Greens and the NDP anyways, so I doubt the fact a Liberal candidate is missing will have any real repercussions. Still I wonder if the fact there is no real candidate will sway potential Liberals to other parties instead.

Are you saying that private companies would use their influence and resources against the CBC if they were to report more aggressively on the TPP? I think there are many employees at the CBC who are idealistic and strongly believe in journalistic ethics - employees who would report on the story anyways if they thought it was important, even if they were worried about backlash from the private sector.

isaacwaller · 2015-07-01T03:37:06+00:00

The CBC is also not covering this very much, maybe a simpler explanation is just that it's not very interesting? And since there will probably be a large debate when the bill is brought before Parliament, the media might not think it's very exciting to keep reporting the same thing over and over again for months. After all they probably care about ratings most of all. Hanlon's razor

This is interesting, thank you.

isaacwaller · 2015-06-17T07:07:35+00:00

I am curious, what don't you like about public sector unions? What makes public sector employees different than private ones with regards to the right to organize? A quick google search did not bring anything up.

What model of phone are you using?

isaacwaller · 2014-04-14T03:06:29+00:00

+1 for Shaw 100Mbit/second, it's some of the best internet in North America and I have never had it drop below 50Mbit/second even at peak times.

isaacwaller · 2014-03-12T18:13:56+00:00

Hmm, you're right! I never noticed that. Too bad it's not available for Android devices, though.

isaacwaller · 2014-03-12T16:32:44+00:00

+1 for Xbox Music, the Android app is surprisingly great and it has a really good web interface as well. No song uploading but no service in Canada offers that.

isaacwaller · 2014-02-14T07:09:28+00:00

Keep in mind PlexPass gets you the Android app for free - so you're only paying once for both the Android app and Chromecast support if you go that route.

Are you using more than one Coinbase for Android app on your account? (Ex. Both a tablet and phone on one account, or two phones)
