12/8/2023 0 Comments Make image size responsive![]() ![]() So: if the image returned should normally (DPR1) be approx. It seems modern browsers switch to a higher resolution image, when you use a device with a DPR greater than 1. You might have noticed, I didn’t add any DPR-related media-queries to the tool. Is the tool useful? Do you have ideas on how to improve it? Time will tell if some clever backend-developer can create such an interface - until then, I’ll use the tool to create the static markup I need for my components -) This particular configuration requires four images, so the component should display four image-placeholders/fields for images. The goal is to have a component, where a developer (or editor!) picks a configuration (preset) from a drop-down, for instance “Art Direction with Dark Mode”. However, for a simple case like this, there’s no need to use the - and multiple -tags (I’ll use these for ‘art direction’ and ‘dark mode’ later):Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Here, they do have the sizes-attribute, but used in a way, so it always returns the 650px image, when the min-width is larger than 720px, or until you add another -tag. In some of the code I inspected at dr.dk, I noticed this: The key to loading images in the correct display-size is the sizes-attribute. But in a case like this, where the difference between the minimum and maximum display sizes is minuscule, I don’t think it makes any sense - especially, when the markup-size almost exceeds the image-size before the image has even been loaded. If you have a hero-image which is 100% wide, there’s no doubt: you need to use responsive images. It’s the same when you use SVG’s with - sometimes the link to the SVG is longer than the SVG-code itself. It makes you wonder whether responsive images are always necessary? That’s almost the same size as the largest image itself, if webp had been used with correct scaling. The markup for the -tag in this particular case, is a whopping 11kb! If a modern format like webp is used, the final size is less than 13kb - almost 1/4th of the actual size. This, large image is 53kb, but could/should be just 17kb. However, the intrinsic image is based on the viewport-width, so with a browser-window-width of 2000px, the loaded image is actually 1080圆98px. The image is scaled up, until the max-width of 373px is reached. With a DPR of 2, the size was 671x378px - again, more than double of what it needs to be. With a DPR of 1, the intrinsic size was 336x189px, almost double of what it needs to be. To see which image-src is currently used, open Dev Tools, select the image in "Elements", then open the console-drawer - and type: The image is displayed at 160x90px, but I took a look at its intrinsic size. The first example uses this little teaser-block from dr.dk: Different devices have different DPR’s (some, newer phones have a DPR of 3), but most desktop PC screens have a DPR of 1. To keep it simple, I’m going to use a device-pixel-ratio (DPR) set to 1. ![]() They use the -tag for responsive images, with multiple -tags for the media-queries and logic. One of the most popular sites in Denmark is that of the national television, dr.dk. Is it doable? Yes, but not in an easy, CMS-editor-friendly way.īut before we go there, let's look at some examples, and the standard way to do responsive images, using either the -tag stand-alone, or within the -tag. So this is what the clients want - or at least what that particular client wants. “Ha ha! And you probably also want to change that image to a completely different image for a given breakpoint? And server-side-scale all the images in-between?” “Can I change the image, if the user has ‘dark mode’?” Later, a designer on the same project asked me: Sorry … we can’t do that in the solution. “No, I want to change to a completely different image!” “Oh, but we do already scale the images server-side, and send different resolutions to the client!“ “Why can't I change the image for a given breakpoint?” On a project I worked on recently, I had the following conversation with a content-editor: This post will hopefully help you understand them better. But responsive images can be tricky, and the syntax complicated. To create a fast and sustainable website, the top priority is to minimize the amount of assets, mainly images. ![]() 12/8/2023 0 Comments Multimc alternative![]() Troubleshootingĥ.1 No FFmpeg installation found 5.2 Crash while rendering 5.3 Unsupported Launchers 5.4 Compatibility with other Modsĥ.4.1 General information 5.4.2 Shaders Mod 5.4.3 Custom Main Menu 5.4.4 Tickrate Changer 5.4.5 LabyMod 5.4.6 OldAnimationsMod 5.4.7 Orange's 1.7 Animations 5.4.8 Sk1er Club: Patcher 5.4.9 Baritone 5.4.10 RandomPatches 5.4.11 Sodium 5.4.12 Resource Loader 5.4.13 LiteLoader ![]() Replayingģ.1.1 Basic Controls 3.1.2 Camera Roll 3.1.3 Spectating Entities 3.2 Controlling Timeģ.2.1 Replay Speed 3.2.2 Jumping in Time 3.3 Camera Pathsģ.3.1 Introduction 3.3.2 Keyframe Timeline 3.3.3 Position Keyframesģ.3.3.1 Path Interpolation 3.3.3.2 Path Preview 3.3.4 Time Keyframesģ.3.4.1 Synchronizing Timelines 3.3.5 Spectator Keyframes 3.3.6 Editing Keyframes 3.3.7 Removing Keyframes 3.3.8 Keyframe Repository 3.4 Renderingģ.4.1.1 Default Rendering 3.4.1.2 Stereoscopic Rendering 3.4.1.3 Cubic Rendering 3.4.1.4 Equirectangular Rendering 3.4.2 Video Settingsģ.4.2.1 Video Resolution 3.4.2.2 Video Framerate 3.4.2.3 Video Encoding and Quality 3.4.3 Advanced Settingsģ.4.3.1 Render Nametags 3.4.3.2 Stabilize Camera 3.4.3.3 Chroma Keying 3.4.3.4 Depth Map 3.4.4 Command Line Settingsģ.4.4.1 Custom Command 3.4.4.2 Command Line Arguments 3.4.5 Rendering Performance 3.5 Ambient Lighting 3.6 Quick Mode 3.7 Player Overview 3.8 Thumbnails 3.9 Event Markers 4. 1.1 Installing the Replay Mod 1.2 Installing FFmpegġ.2.1 Windows 1.2.2 Mac OSX 1.2.3 Linux 1.3 Settings 1.4 Accounts 2. ![]() ![]() ![]() The campus also marked the first project completed by MASS’s construction company, MASS.Build. This shift is not just important for the Fossey Fund, but for the region and the world.”įrom the start, MASS and the Fossey Fund worked in partnership to develop all aspects of the project-from visioning, architectural and landscape design, engineering, construction, furniture fabrication, exhibition design, and media-while leveraging its impact on the surrounding community and advancing the Fossey Fund’s mission. “The beauty of the campus elevates people’s thinking about conservation, helping them realize how important conservation is. Tara Stoinski, the Fossey Fund’s President and Chief Scientific Officer. “From the outset, the mission of this project was focused on creating a space to engage the many stakeholders in conservation-students, scientists, tourists, conservation partners, community members-to advance our collective goal of saving gorillas and more broadly, the planet,” said Dr. An extensive living laboratory was created on the former agricultural site through the planting of more than 250,000 native plants and the use of green roofs, rainwater harvesting, and a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment. The campus was named one of Africa’s 10 most anticipated architectural projects, featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes, and in Architectural Digest. ![]() Local labor and materials were used throughout design and construction to minimize the campus footprint, develop an immersive reforested landscape, and ensure job training and economic return to the local community while creating a modern facility for public use and education.Īdjacent to the Volcanoes National Park on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the campus has three main buildings: the Sandy and Harold Price Research Center, the Cindy Broder Conservation Gallery, and the Rob and Melani Walton Education Center, as well as housing for visiting students and researchers. The 12-acre campus models MASS’s “Purpose-Built” methodology, which balances and evaluates capital infrastructure alongside a project's mission, design, and feasibility. The new multi-building campus is a $15 million investment that anchors the region as a conservation hub for ecological preservation and education in Africa. ![]() MUSANZE DISTRICT & KIGALI, Rwanda, J– The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, The Ellen Fund, and MASS Design Group celebrated the opening of The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Fossey Gorilla Fund in a ceremony at the campus this week.

We encourage all new and existing users to read the privacy policies of any company they buy a product from before installing it. We reached out to Ring and a spokesperson told us, "The law authorizes companies like Ring to provide information to government entities if the company believes that an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury to any person, such as a kidnapping or an attempted murder, requires disclosure without delay. Markey published a report criticizing Ring's privacy practices, specifically accusing the company of providing user videos to law enforcement agencies without prior consent on 11 occasions so far this year. (For instance, the UL CP-01 listing means that a control panel has features to reduce false alarms-that’s a good thing, since false alarms can cost you money.) UL approval: We asked manufacturers if each system met UL standards, but since there’s no federal requirement to meet those standards, we didn’t rule out systems on this basis.Fire prevention: Preventing break-ins is only one part of a security setup most systems also offer protection against fire and carbon monoxide, although those devices cost extra.A keypad can sit by the front door, making it easy to arm and disarm the system. Keypad: A smartphone app is a must for use when you’re away from home, but you shouldn’t have to fumble with your phone as you come and go.Cellular connection: A landline or Wi-Fi connection to the monitoring service can be cut or disrupted, so this provides a fail-safe option.Most systems have some type of battery backup. Battery backup: You shouldn’t have to let your guard down when the power goes out.An audible alarm: Signs and stickers could make a burglar think twice, but a piercing alarm should send them scurrying. ![]() We also looked at the add-ons offered, including cameras, glass-break sensors, smoke alarms, panic buttons, and water-leak sensors. The size of your home dictates which devices you need and how many of each. A useful package of sensors and accessories: A home security starter package should come with door/window contact sensors and motion sensors.“You only need it to work that one time.” “An alarm system might sit there for 10 years and do absolutely nothing,” said Bob Dolph, a home security consultant who has spent decades in the business. And although a home security system can’t stop a determined burglar from breaking into your house, it can discourage someone from breaking in if they know you have it, frighten someone away if they do get in, summon firefighters or cops in case of an emergency, and save you as much as 10% on your home insurance premium. Still, if you want more peace of mind about the safety of your family and the security of your belongings, and if you want to know that someone will call emergency services should the need arise, a security system can play a valuable role. According to the FBI, the number of property crimes in the US has continued to drop for more than 25 years. You’ve probably worried about the safety of your home at some point, but it’s important to know that most homes and apartments will never be burglarized. It does allow for self-monitoring, but the original Ring Alarm would be better for that (although we don’t really recommend self-monitoring anyway). It has almost every add-on you can imagine, including a few options for door and window sensors, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and several types of hardwired and battery-operated doorbells and cameras. The easy-to-use DIY security system offers the best bang for your buck when it comes to professional monitoring ($20 per month or $200 per year). It also creates a cellular backup web connection when your power or internet goes down (with a Ring Protect Pro plan). ![]() That means you can replace your standard router, depending on your service, or create a mesh network to improve your Wi-Fi’s speed for security cameras and other smart-home devices around the house. The strength of the Ring Alarm Pro, in addition to all of the sensors and accessories it can support (including a wide variety of cameras), is that it includes a built-in Eero Wi-Fi 6 router. Compatible with: Amazon Alexa, Works With Ring ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments Weird west developer![]() ![]() Also, it smartly takes the Last of Us approach to companions while you’re in stealth, meaning they’re simply invisible to enemies and you don’t have to worry about them blowing your cover if the AI does something goofy. ![]() That’s a wise design choice because it means that if you prefer to sneak through the whole thing, avoiding combat and pilfering the artifacts and golden playing cards that unlock new abilities you won’t be missing out on much by way of progression. Of course, there’s no XP gained from killing in Weird West, so that means it’s really an expedient means of acquiring loot as you go from point A to point B or defending yourself when you get caught where you shouldn’t be. There’s a lot of room to experiment here, and I love when a plan – or a completely accidental win – comes together. Electricity plus water is another good one to remember. Touching arrows to a flame makes them into fire arrows, while dipping them in poison does exactly what you’d expect. ![]() Throw a lit oil lamp into a field and watch the firestorm that ensues water (including rain) puts out the fire, while wind makes it spread faster. Weird West is as much an immersive sim as it is an action game (which makes sense, considering Wolfeye was founded by Raphael Colantonio, who previously founded Arkane Studios, known for Dishonored and Prey) so you can expect plenty of opportunities for physics-based antics. Pros will know to do this before a fight breaks out, but I relied on slow-mo to give me the time I needed to really take advantage of the environment. You get extra bullets in your gun and can fire rapidly, so anything short of a boss-level character will usually melt under a satisfying hail of bullets before you hit the ground. But their personalities come across in the writing when you interact with them, and we’re given plenty of opportunities to define them for ourselves with choices about who to help and who to harm.Īlso, slow-mo will automatically activate when you initiate a cinematic dive move, which eats some of your precious Action Point bar that’s consumed by your abilities, but is extremely worth it because of how much damage you can put out. There’s also an added tension from the fact that these irreplaceable companions can permanently die (unless you reload a quicksave), so they’re more of a loss than the disposable mercenaries you can hire in that role when things go bad.Īnother forgivable letdown is that none of the main characters are voiced – we only ever hear from the Sam Elliot-impersonating narrator, and the voices that play behind the text of everyone else’s speech sounds like spooky whispers or if Bane from The Dark Knight Rises was a Sim. You can, however, go back to their homes and recruit them as one of your two AI-controlled companions (and you’d be crazy not to, since they’re powerful and you get their inventories back) but the AI doesn’t use their abilities with the precision they need to be really useful in combination with your own. ![]() Immersive Sim: Weird West supports different styles of play in a simulated sandbox world where characters, factions, and even places react to a player's decisions.While it’s kind of a bummer that you can’t switch back to directly controlling a previous character if you miss their abilities, that’s an understandable limitation when you consider how the story works as a sequence of events.

12/7/2023 0 Comments Fire hydrant parking nyc![]() Consequences of Illegal Parking Near Fire Hydrants It is crucial to adhere to this requirement to allow sufficient space for firefighters to maneuver and connect their equipment during emergencies. This distance is measured from the hydrant’s center to the nearest point of the parked vehicle. ![]() The designated distance for parking from a fire hydrant in NYC is 15 feet. The Designated Distance for Parking from Fire Hydrants It is essential for drivers to familiarize themselves with these regulations to avoid violations.Īccording to the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT), it is illegal to park within a certain distance of a fire hydrant. In NYC, parking regulations are enforced to ensure the safety and accessibility of fire hydrants. Parking Regulations Near Fire Hydrants in NYC ![]() Parking too close to a fire hydrant can hinder firefighters’ ability to connect hoses and access the water supply efficiently, leading to potentially devastating consequences. They provide firefighters with immediate access to water during emergencies, enabling them to suppress fires swiftly and prevent further damage. Understanding the Importance of Fire Hydrantsįire hydrants are critical components of a city’s fire protection infrastructure. In this article, we will explore the topic of how far you can park from a fire hydrant in NYC, providing you with the necessary information to comply with the city’s parking regulations. Fire hydrants play a crucial role in ensuring public safety, and it is essential to keep them accessible at all times. ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments Windshield fluid nozzle![]() ![]() Most of the time, Avalon owners have forgotten to fill in a mixture suitable for winter. In winter, frozen washer fluid can also prevent the windscreen washer system from working in Toyota Avalon. Note: If you see washer fluid gushing out of the detached hose when you switch on the windshield washer in your Avalon, but the fluid doesn’t flow when the nozzle is connected, it means the nozzles are clogged. Inspect entire hose and clear any blockage. If there is little or no flow, and the pump is working, then there is probably a blockage in the hose somewhere. ![]() You should see the fluid gushing out of the hose. To diagnose, first open the hood and pull the end of the hose out of a windshield washer nozzle, and then turn on the washer system. In rare cases, a dirty or pinched hose can be responsible for windscreen washer system malfunction on Toyota Avalon. ![]() Note: Keep the air-conditioning off in your vehicle when diagnosing a leaking hose, as condensation from the evaporator coil is also drained under the vehicle. Now look under the front of your vehicle, if you see a puddle forming then there is a leak, otherwise problem lies somewhere else. Park your vehicle on a dry pavement and turn on the windshield washer for a few seconds. You can access the pump by following a few simple steps, as shown in the video.ĭiagnosis: You don’t have to disassemble the engine compartment to check for a leaking hose in your Avalon. You don’t necessarily have to visit a workshop to replace the windshield washer pump on your Avalon. Video: Replacing washer pump in Toyota Avalon If the multimeter reads very low or zero volts, it indicates a fault in the wiring or electrical connection – all electrical connectors and wires that feed power to the pump should be inspected for damage. The multimeter should read around 12 volts when you switch on the windshield washer, which indicates that the pump has failed in your Avalon and needs to be replaced. This can be done by removing the electrical connector from the pump and connecting it to a multimeter. If the fuse is not blown, check if the pump is getting any power. If you do not hear whirring sound of the pump when you turn on the windshield washer system on your Toyota Avalon, you should first check the fuse for the pump. If there is no sound, then it means the pump is not working in your Avalon. You should hear the whirring of the pump.While standing outside your Avalon, switch on the windshield washer.Turn on your vehicle and open the driver’s door or roll down the window.You can do a quick diagnosis by performing a noise test. In case of a faulty fuse, the circuit is interrupted and the pump can not work. The pump of the windscreen washer system on Toyota Avalon needs electricity to work. If there is little or no flow of fluid from the disconnected hose, it means the nozzles are probably good but the problem lies somewhere else. Pull the end of the hose out of a windshield washer nozzle on your Avalon, and then turn on the washer system. Important: Before replacing the nozzles, make sure the fluid is being pumped normally. If you do hear the whirring sound coming from the front of your Avalon, the pump is working and the culprit is most probably clogged nozzles. If there is no sound, then it means the pump has failed or there is no power to the pump. You should hear the whirring of the pump. Now, stand outside and switch on the windshield washer. Switch on the vehicle and turn down the driver’s door window. The easiest way to check if the pump is working is by doing a noise test. With each pumping process, a larger area is wetted with washer fluid, at the same time, however, the finer nozzles tend to clog faster.ĭiagnosis: Before you decide on replacing the nozzles, you must rule out any problem with the washer pump or the hoses. However, modern cars are equipped with so-called “fan nozzles” or “micro-emitters” which produce a wider and finer spray jet. In older vehicles, drivers could easily clean the nozzles themselves by inserting a fine needle into the holes without any effort. The impurities can then be collected by the rainwater running off, which then gets caught in the nozzles and gradually clogs them. They are located near the bottom of the windshield, where dead insects, dust, pollen and limescale are often deposited. Clogged nozzles are often the reason why the windscreen washer system does not work on Avalon. ![]() |
