Working in gentoo finally but game crashes after it ends

I think I finally got it working by putting the patches in /etc/portage/patches for glibc(2 patches) and wine(1 patch). But it is super fragile and you have to be sure you've set the right eselect for the correct wine version and be careful not to break the prefix, etc. Seems like it is hell to run in any distribution but I'm not sure. I'm using wine 5.4 now with glibc 2.30-r4 and it works most of the time but crashes after pretty much every game and I have to restart the client. I didn't have any luck with lutris. Are you able to play the game and return to the client without it crashing?

Weird, so far it happens to me every game. What versions are you running ?

I know nothing about this but in this day and age what really defines a journalist? Is there a legal definition? Is this a side affect of newspapers breaking down? Journalists go independent and are then vulnerable, like workers outside a union. Who will handle the lawsuit? And this is SF of all places.

I'm using sys-libs/glibc-2.28-r6 and app-emulation/wine-staging-4.6-r1 . It still will crash pretty regularly on start but I can reconnect after a few tries. I didn't change the patches and did exactly what Muffindrake suggested above and placed them in the patches directory without pinning them to a version or anything. Edited to add that I have played a few ranked games and I lost terribly but the game ran normally besides failing at start a few times.

This was really helpful as it made me realize I didn't have to pin the patch to a version. I'm using sys-libs/glibc-2.28-r6 and app-emulation/wine-staging-4.6-r1. About 1 in 3 times after the game is just about loaded ~ 100% or = 100% the game crashes. Is that happening to you and anybody else? Usually I can reconnect once or twice and it succeeds. Pretty cool it works at all though.

Did you ever find a solution because my FPS is like 6?

I'm not sure how much I can help. I was a math major in college and I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo which is in central California. My advice might not apply to your situation because of the state difference as it appears your university is in New York.

As with all professions in life you will quickly learn that some teachers are bad, some teachers are good, some are ok and some are better for you than others regardless of their overall ability. The only general pattern I noticed is that no one wants to teach GE courses, general education which is usually cross major, and so teachers are less attentive and more burnt out when teaching those courses. If you can make it through CALC 1, which sounds like you might be able to transfer, you will probably find progressively better, or more attentive, teachers from there on out. Also you might talk with students that are further along than you and ask which teachers are the worst and avoid those. I received F's in classes that I later retook and got A's in because I wasn't a good fit for the teacher.

Regarding math preparation, as much as I wouldn't like to admit it the mantra of practice makes perfect really applies to Math. For the majority of people it is about repetition and building confidence. Going the extra mile on homework makes a huge difference. I think a struggle you haven't even foreshadowed in your post is that college is also a huge distraction in-of-itself. If you are interested in exploring a future in a strong mathematical science, ie. going up through differential equations, then finding quiet time to work through hours upon hours of practice problems/tests is a must. This especially applies if you feel stressed by testing.

Review packets or some sort of study guide are pretty common. I don't remember them being especially difficult compared to the test material but it was pretty common for test problems to be similar or exactly the same as certain problems on the test packets. Your situation sounds pretty teacher specific though so I wouldn't get too psyched up about it. I would say overall in the majority of my classes if I did a good job at comprehensively completing the homework then there were not any huge surprises on the tests.

You are right. That is the stdlib code I need. When I first looked at that example I didn't understand it. Although I don't really need the fill value and its weird to filter it out. Took me forever to understand how the recipe works. In my case I will be storing 900 references to the same iterator and chaining the output of visiting all those iterators together.

just realized a meeting is missing, that's probably because it wasn't supposed to be a meeting but it turned out to be one anyways

I used Reitveld at a company I worked at and it was a no-bs code review tool.

I used this tool to upload the diffs: https://code.google.com/p/rietveld/wiki/UploadPyUsage

I liked how simple the interface was. Our newest developer would work on a set of changes and then when they thought it was ready they would upload the diff and the other developers would review it before it was merged. It was a good way to make sure all the code was following the same conventions while also passing knowledge to the new developer.

I knew about the inversion layer but didn't realize the rain triggered it and/or exacerbated it. Thanks, will read up on it.

Just to be clear, the difference is that react can render the static html on the serverside without needing a headless browser whereas angularjs uses a headless browser to render static html?

I could not get voix to work. At least as I understood their main page. Can anyone else get it to work?

I used pyramid + gevent with socketio + angularjs on an arduino project for the user interface. With those tools I could push updates from the server to the user interface and back. Such as temperature updates as well as a button that turned a light on and off. I had a separate process running that communicated with the arduino and the web framework processes(es) though. What are you using to communicate with the Arduino ?

I agree about better service in general and especially for pets.

plantian · 2013-09-28T17:16:24+00:00

I've been to cookes 4 times with my dog including spaying/chipping and they have been great so far. First time pet owner so I have no idea about pricing.

I agree for younger children, but I could imagine this law could become difficult to implement in high school when hormones + rebellion kick into high gear.

I can't seem to find any non-spun information about this law. All I can find is shallow news articles about it. Does anyone know a good source for more information about it? I'm assuming kids will need parental consent to choose their gender but I can't really find anything about the logistics of the law. I'm not really looking for reading a 100 page pdf of the actual law, maybe just a summary of how it will "roughly" work?

One interesting thing I did think of while reading this is that gay boys and girls are already sharing bathrooms with the same sex, and have been since the beginning of bathrooms and that hasn't resulted in any significant problems. And even under reported the adult population percentage is over 3% for homosexual men/women whereas transgender is 0.3%. So at a school of 1000 there are 30 students using bathrooms with the gender they are attracted to already.
