See it of you like assassin's and some smooth action but don't have the time or desire to invest in layered characters or story. In general, Kite Liberator ends feeling very premature and half baked. ![]() Probably at that time a Caquot type kite balloon is rigged to the fantail. ![]() Just as i was getting interested in them the credits began to roll.

Taking place several years after the events in the original film, Kite Liberator starts off with crew members of ISS along with. Of the 126663 characters on Anime Characters Database, 7 are from the ova Kite Liberator. This annoyed me mostly because i actually was liking the characters i saw. It was also adapted as a manga serialzed in Comic Valkyrie magazine. Character arcs are started and begin to be flushed out, when the movie is suddenly and confusingly halted. Any number of ideas are presented and not a single one is carried to term. All the characters battling feel graceful and capable of prolonged conflict but none of the action scenes go on very long and even the climax at the end felt snubbed. All this is good but the action never seems to reach the peak of it's potential. The animation is quite smooth, the shootouts and chases are fast and the explosions are big. Kite Liberator is more of an action film, with some comedy throughout. It was directed and written by Yasuomi Umetsu, who previously directed the first film in the series. Kite, was more or less a hentai with some nice action fight scenes thrown in.

![]() I can beat the computer handily in snowy Sweden, only to finish 30 seconds off the pace in other places.Īll of this is just the wrapping for the behind-the-wheel action. The sliding difficulty scale helps keep things competitive in career mode, though there are some courses I’m just better on than others. When I upgraded my car’s brakes, I could immediately feel the difference on the course. The game does a good job of making it feel like everything matters. As you progress through your career, you’ll choose one event per week, rotating between Rest, Training, Manufacturer Tryouts, Historic Rally, and then the actual rally schedule. The upgrade tree is about as deep as any light RPG system. You’ll start in juniors, and you’ll hire a limited staff and improve your team. The main mode I’m interested in is career, and the game does a good job of taking you through the deep career mode. There are new online challenges weekly, and there’s always something new to do. In terms of game modes, there’s plenty to do in WRC 9 as long as you like rally racing - and why would you be playing if you didn’t? You can fire up any stage, take part in challenges, or hop online and try to post your fastest times against others. The smooth gameplay is, obviously, a huge factor as well. Reflections appear realistic on the car dents, dings, mud, and snow build-up throughout each stage. The game’s beauty goes beyond the environments. Flying through the air in Finland is exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, knowing that as I land, my car might fall apart. It’s easy to get distracted by the beauty of the Japanese mountainside the snowy Swedish terrain the rocky Argentinian landscape and more. The environments in WRC 9 are lush and varied. (Side note: Tetris Effect Connected is also awe-inspiring, though in a different way and I haven’t yet played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Gears 5. I’ve played a handful of Series X-enhanced games so far, and WRC 9 is the first game that’s wowed me visually. On Series X - and, I assume, PS5 - the game runs in an extremely smooth 4K/60fps. But with DiRT 5 leaning into arcade racing this year, I decided to give WRC 9 a go. ![]() I’ll be honest - I’ve largely avoided the series because Codemasters’ DiRT games have generally been fantastic. WRC 9 is the fifth game developed by French developer Kylotonn, which also makes the Isle of Man TT games, as well as a couple of other racing games. World Rally Championship games have had a long history, going back to the original Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation in 1998. Every time it happens in WRC 9 on Series X, I shift forward in my seat and try my darndest to hit each apex without careening off an edge and down a cliff. ![]() The time pops up at the checkpoint and you’re either a second ahead or behind the pace heading into the last stretch. I’m not sure there’s a more intense single-player racing experience than coming to the end of a long rally stage as the rain starts to spit. She bore him two children before her death in 1615.

He was the son of a clothworker from Malines (Mechelen), Spanish Netherlands, and a local woman, and the family had moved from Spanish-held Flanders to Haarlem in the free Netherlands by 1591 at the latest the local town-hall records give this date for the christening of Frans’s younger brother Dirck, who also became a painter. Hals left no written evidence about his life or his works, and only a brief outline of his biography is known. ![]() The paintings of his old age best show his genius for portraying character (e.g., Man in a Slouch Hat, c. In his middle age his portraits grew increasingly sad, revealing sometimes a sense of foreboding (e.g., Nicolaes Hasselaer, c.

Sure, if you count the lines of code in clang/LLVM this won’t stand anymore, but from a maintenance point of view this is a blessing. Add a bit more than 600 lines of tests and you are still a magnitude below our current C++ plugin. status quoĬurrently, the kdev-clang plugin consists of ca. So after the hard work was done, I started contributing by playing the plumber who massages the output of clang-c into the existing KDevelop framework. After some failed attempts in getting clang to parse medium- sized projects at reasonable speeds, he eventually found the magic flags and options. The big advantage is that the latter comes with an API/ABI guarantee which is important for us as a consumer. In his initial prototyping he experimented with the C++ API to clang but eventually found that the clang-c API suffices for our needs. So Olivier started hacking on kdev-clang. Its the magic bullet which we waited for, and which did not exist back when KDevelop 4.0 was started initially. It promises an API for third-party tools to steer a C/C++/Objective-C compiler to their needs. So instead of doing that, my colleague Olivier JG started looking into using clang of LLVM fame instead. The current codebase is big (~55k sloc) and adding support for complicated features such as variadic templates or constexpr is extremely hard and fragile. And indeed, with C++11 and the wealth of changes it came with our language simply fails in many areas. It should not surprise anyone that this is a maintenance nightmare. We have our own C++ parser, we have our own implementation of the C++ template mechanism, we have our own share of “compiler bugs”, ….

Q* that classes have implementations that directly or indirectly depend on host functionality cannot be used in this context.Nested clang diagnostics with browsing support.Long term, most QString uses for file names should be replaced by Utils::FileName, most notably anything involving "Tools" like debugger, profiler and build systems. ![]() This is similar to the concept of an URL, but without some of the syntactic and semantic restrictions URLs have. Utils::FilePath is a wrapper API for a triple of QStrings, a "protocol", a "host" and a "path", enabling us to refer to items that are not bound to the local machine. Use Utils::FilePath instead of QStrings for file names and directory names Exceptions are possible for processes that are clearly always bound to the local development machine.
![]() In 1964, Pepsico purchased the Tip Corporation and thus acquired the rights to Mountain Dew. The Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia bought the rights to Mountain Dew, revising the flavor and launching it in 1961.

Ĭharles Gordon, who had partnered with William Swartz to bottle and promote Dr. Originally a 19th-century slang term for whiskey, especially Highland Scotch whiskey, the Mountain Dew name was trademarked for the soft drink in 1948. Soft drinks were sold regionally in the 1930s, and the Hartmans had difficulty in Knoxville obtaining their preferred soda to mix with liquor, preferably whiskey, so the two developed their own. Tennessee bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman developed Mountain Dew as a mixer in the 1940s. 4.2 Taco Bell's Mountain Dew Baja Blast.Its competition includes The Coca-Cola Company's Mello Yello and Surge, and Dr Pepper Snapple Group's Sun Drop Mountain Dew accounted for 80% of citrus soft drinks sold within the U.S. As of 2017, Mountain Dew represented a 6.6% share of the carbonated soft drinks market in the U.S. The product was renamed in 2014 to simply 'Mountain Dew'. under the name "Mountain Dew Energy" since 2010 and in Ireland since the spring of 2011. A similarly named but different-tasting product, with a recipe more similar to the original American product has been sold in the U.K. Production was extended to the United Kingdom in 1996, but was phased out in 1998. Expansions of the product line have continued to this day, including specialty offerings, limited time productions, region-specific and retailer-specific flavors of Mountain Dew. In 2001, a cherry-flavored variant called Code Red debuted. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988, followed by Mountain Dew Red, which was introduced and discontinued in 1988. īetween the 1940s and 1980s there was only one variety of Mountain Dew, which was citrus-flavored and caffeinated in most markets. In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, and the distribution expanded across the United States and Canada. "Bill" Jones of the Tip Corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia.

That’s why effective internet security means making the hack as difficult and time-consuming as possible. Still wondering if a router can be hacked? Given enough time and resources, any device can be hacked. The simpler your password, the easier this becomes - so always create strong and unique passwords for all your devices and accounts. By trying one password after another, hackers can keep guessing until they land on your password. Regularly check your router manufacturer’s website for firmware updates, and install any that you find.Ĭracking your password: Changing your router password might not be enough to keep a hacker out. If your router’s firmware has a vulnerability, a router hacker can leverage it to access your router’s administrative settings.

![]() The overall journey won’t necessarily end next week but, rather, I’ll let you know how much further I plan to go. Next week I’ll wrap up my journey to Markdown by summarizing my results. To configure Markdown support in your documents, please click the Moundible Formatted button.When the time comes that you want to change this setting, you will be able to do so either by selecting the note you are currently working with or in the future when you choose to do so. I can write much more efficiently and effectively with Markdown as part of my routine than I’ve been able to before. In Simplenote, click the Info icon and then specify Moundible Formatted. I haven’t added any additional steps that cause more lag than save time, and Markdown is a much quicker syntax to work with than HTML. Write and publish your notes in Markdown format and follow all changes with versioning. I can say without a doubt that by adding Markdown to my language set that my workflow has sped up considerably. Simplenote is a free note-taking app allowing team collaboration and synchronizes to all of your devices. And with Siri now at my command, I don’t know if I ever will need to. One of the user advantages is you can get standard notes to look neatly formatted without having to waste time switching between the keyboard and the mouse. This is especially helpful if I have some ideas for a post and want to keep tabs on those for a later date. This lets you add rich text formatting using text code, rather than toolbar buttons. ![]() The notes quickly sync across mobile apps and the web app. If I feel that the post isn’t ready for WordPress yet, I’ll send the post to OmniFocus (which Writing Kit has so kindly added support for) so that I can keep it out of mind but on my radar nonetheless. The markdown support is particularly nice, allowing for quick and easy formatting when you do need it.

Then Writing Kit came along and made the iPad a viable option for online writing again. ![]() So much so that I eventually stopped using my iPad for writing for a spell. But then it started crashing, so I was back to my original workflow – which was very tedious.

The WordPress app on the iPad was terrible for a long time, so I never bothered to use it.īlogPress was an improvement for a while, allowing me to actually write entirely for the online audience on my iPad. Simplenote supports a full implementation of markdown, including tables, and some interesting additions, such as file-linked tags (see ‘workings’ and ‘project’ at the footer). With that app, I’d write in plain text and then wouldn’t do much more with it until I got on my Mac at home so I could bring it into WordPress. Only when absolutely necessary do I add images to my posts, and still do it in WordPress once I’ve put the article in there from Byword.įor the longest time I didn’t do any online writing on my iPad. ![]() I’ve prtty much incorporated all of the basic Markdown syntax into my articles, and actually avoid embedding images in my posts altogether because of my lack of proficiency (or foresight) in embedding images in Markdown. You can type your Markdown in the note like plain text and then preview what the Markdown. Now I am able to write the piece on my Mac in Markdown using Byword, copy the HTML that Byword transcribes from a Markdown export into the WordPress back end and then fine-tune it from there. Just like Simplenote, ResophNotes supports Markdown as well. What I did before was either write the article in nvALT or in Scrivener in plain text and then send it to my WordPress back end for the “HTMLifying” process. I’m writing this piece in Byword, which has become my application of choice when it comes to writing for the online platform. Indent one or more items to create a nested list.In this, the penultimate post in my Journey to Markdown series, I’m going to get into how Markdown integrated with my writing workflow, and how I use the apps I’ve mentioned as part of my writing workflow now that Markdown is a part of it. Write, preview, and publish your notes in Markdown format. To create an unordered list, add dashes ( -), asterisks ( *), or plus signs ( +) in front of line items.
