There are probably a zillion other methods, if you know of any simple, one line, easy method of creating a simple text file in case you need it right here and right now, please do drop me a line and I’ll gladly feature it here. Since it’s already there it won’t say that the file is not found. Like the previous option, here too you must have access to Notepad.įrom there, use the same command as found in method #3 to open Notepad with the text file. Method #4 – Using COPY and NOTEPAD (if available): C:'>copy NUL SN.txt In the new Notepad window just type or paste the required information, and save the file. You will get an error saying that the file does not exist (if it’s a new one it won’t), and would you like to create it. Simple, doesn’t work if you’re in an environment where no GUI tools are available. Method #3 – Using NOTEPAD (if available): C:'>notepad SN.txt This is very useful whenever you want to pipe any command output to a file. Note the “>” sign after the required text and before the filename. Method #2 – Using ECHO command: C:'>echo Product Key: TJQAW-VG29Y-G194Y-E7KRT-BYH9G > SN.txt Product Key: TJQAW-VG29Y-G194Y-E7KRT-BYH9G Method #1 – Using COPY command: C:'>copy con SN.txt Lamer note: The CD Key in all of the following examples is bogus, false, not true, don’t try to use it. There are several methods of creating text files from the CMD without using any 3rd-party tools, and I thought it was a good time to remind you of some of them: What I needed was a way to create a text file inside the VM, with the CD Key in it, and put it on the root of the VM’s hard disk, then to be able to just copy the file’s contents (the CD Key) to the installation prompt. Typing this CD Key wasn’t hard to do, but because it was past midnight I kept missing a letter or entering an “8” instead of a “B” and so I found myself typing the CD Key of the machine over and over again. So last night, when I installed the latest build of Windows Vista on a Virtual Machine, I had to manually enter the CD Key during the installation process. I had the CD Key on a separate file, but I didn’t think to write it into the ISO file. However, this time, when I installed Windows Vista, I used an ISO image ( How to Write ISO Files to CD) that I obtained from Microsoft. Save your priceless time, stop typing the same thing over and over. Invite friends & family to use textPlus so it’s always free for you and loved ones.

How do I quickly create a text file from the Windows Command Prompt? Java's object-oriented focus lets developers work on adapting Java to solve a problem, rather than forcing us to manipulate the problem to meet language constraints. A feature not mandated in C/C++, but essential to Java, is a garbage-collection facility that automatically reclaims objects and arrays. Pointers, multiple implementation inheritance, and operator overloading are some C/C++ features that are not part of Java. Java was initially modeled after C and C++, minus some potentially confusing features. Let's consider each of these definitions separately. Java is a simple, object-oriented, network-savvy, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture-neutral, portable, high-performance, multithreaded, dynamic computer language. This series has been updated for Java 12 and includes a quick introduction to the new jshell: an interactive tool for learning Java and prototyping Java code. Finally, you'll learn how to compile and run a simple Java app. I'll help you set up a Java Development Kit (JDK) on your system so that you can develop and run Java programs, and I'll get you started with the architecture of a typical Java application. You'll also learn about the role of the Java virtual machine (JVM) in deploying Java applications. This first article introduces the Java platform and explains the difference between its three editions: Java SE, Java EE, and Java ME. I will assume that you already have some programming experience, just not in Java. This series is technical, with plenty of code examples to help you grasp the concepts as we go along. The Java 101 series provides a self-guided introduction to Java programming, starting with the basics and covering all the core concepts you need to know to become a productive Java developer. The set of all the assignments for each semester are given in one booklet that you will get along with your course material as well as the same will be uploaded on the IGNOU's website also.So, you want to program in Java? That's great, and you've come to the right place. There will be only one assignment for each course worth 100 marks (weightage of 25%). Mostly the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course material, exploit their personal experiences and apply the knowledge gained from various sources. This will enhance your learning capabilities. However, as the Computer Science is ever enhancing area, the students should make an attempt and work with extra reading material easily available in the study centre / Regional Centre libraries or through websites for working on the assignments. The information given in the printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. The main purpose of assignments is to test student's comprehension of learning the materials they receive from the University and also to help them get through the courses by providing feedback to them. Note: A lear.ner should not apply for appearing at the term-end examination of any course without getting registeredfor the same and that if slhe does so, her/his result would not be declared and the onus shall be on him. Term-end examination with a weightage of75% (please refer to the table below). Viva- voce is compulsory for all the Asignmentsfor which 20 marks are allocated. (b) Continuous evaluation through Assignment with a wcightage of 25% (please refer to the table below). The total numbers of courses in this MCA programme are 31 and the total number of credits is 108. (a) Completion of the programme requires successful completion of both assignment component and the Termend Examination component for each of the course's in the programme.

With more than 25 hours of challenging gameplay, this will surely have you at the edge of your seat. Originally released on PC, this #1 Steam game also got released to consoles. The sound makes for a huge factor in any stealth game and they definitely nailed it. Aside from the recreation of Edo Japan, the sound design was really well-made. The environment the game has set the stage for an immersive gameplay. I think Shadow Tactics did an amazing job in terms of game design. Whether you set traps or avoid the enemies altogether is all up to you.Īlso interesting: Metal Gear Solid V – Espionage Gameplay Deluxe You decide how to infiltrate different the landscapes and infrastructures of the game, ranging from snowy mountains to small forest camps. You’ll have to use these 5 characters simultaneously to complete your objective. Use their unique skills and your own wits together to overcome challenges. Each character has a different personality, needing to fight their own demons while trying their best to work as a team. Their names are Hayato, Yuki, Mugen, Aiko, and Takuma. Control a squad of up to 5 assassins with their own styles. The game is set in a beautiful recreation of Japan loosely based during the Edo period. As obvious as it is in the title, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is all about tactics. Join us on another visit… to Japan, early Edo period.Daedelic Entertainment and Mimimi Productions bring us a stealth game that focuses on planning the perfect assassination approach against your enemies. We are very happy to finally return to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun after all these years, and we hope that we were able to convert that joy into this standalone expansion. Even though you can enjoy this standalone expansion on its own, we recommend playing at least the first few missions of the main game to get a feeling of the game's mechanics as well as the characters and story!
Guidelines for good PCR primer designįor a PCR experiment to have a higher chance of success, PCR primers are often designed so they adhere to some basic parameters. This article will help you get better at PCR primer design. But users often wonder exactly how we did that, or they may be interested in designing primers for their own experiments targeting other genes. Our PCR-based Learning Labs ™ include primers that we have designed and optimized for specific target genes. Elsewhere on our blog, you can find our first post, What are PCR primers? The other posts in this series will be published over the coming weeks. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 83(11), 3746-3750.This blog post is the second in 4-part series on PCR primers. Predicting DNA duplex stability from the base sequence. Thermodynamics and NMR of internal G-T mismatches in DNA. The annealing temperature gradient should start with temperature 6-10☌ lower than annealing temperature generated by the calculator and increased up to the extension temperature (two-step PCR). If necessary, use a temperature gradient to further optimize and empirically determine the ideal annealing temperature for each template-primer pair combination. T m values, annealing temperature, and other data are automatically generated. To use the calculator select your DNA polymerase, type in or paste your primer sequences, and provide your final primer concentration. The modified Breslauer's thermodynamics method (2) is is used for Tm and annealing temperature calculation of reactions with Phusion or Phire DNA Polymerases.Ī separate method is used for T m and annealing temperature calculation of reactions with Taq-based DNA polymerases. The parameters were adjusted on a set of primers seeking to maximize specificity and retain high yield with Platinum SuperFi DNA Polymerase. The modified Allawi & SantaLucia's thermodynamics method (1) is used for T m and annealing temperature calculation of reactions with Platinum SuperFi DNA Polymerase. The application is designed to calculate T m according to three different methods. The annealing temperature gradient should start with temperature 6–10 ☌ lower than annealing temperature generated by the calculator and increased up to the extension temperature ( two-step PCR). To use this calculator select your DNA polymerase, type in or paste your primer sequences, and provide your final primer concentration. The parameters were adjusted on a set of primers seeking to maximize specificity and retain high yields. The modified Allawi & SantaLucia's thermodynamics method is used for T m and annealing temperature calculation of reactions with Platinum SuperFi, Phusion and Phire DNA Polymerases. The calculator also calculates the primer length, percentage of GC content, molecular weight, and extinction coefficient. The calculator calculates recommended T m (melting temperature) of primers and PCR annealing temperature based on the primer pair sequence, primer concentration, and DNA polymerase used in PCR. What’s going on in the housing market is that the housing market is now freezing up, with potential buyers not even willing to apply for a mortgage, and not even shopping for a home. They’re pulling back because they also see what’s going on in the housing market. But since then, volume, based on purchase mortgage applications, has gotten a lot worse.Ĭash buyers and investors are pulling back even faster, and their share of total home sales has dropped further, now down to a share of 15%, from a share in the range of 20% earlier this year. And these closed sales in September plunged by 24% from a year ago and by 30% from October two years ago.Ĭlosed sales in September were barely above the two lockdown months in the spring of 2020. This collapse in mortgage applications in October is an indication of where closed home sales will be, and when we’ll get this data in November and December, it’s going to be gruesome.Ībout ten days ago, the National Association of Realtors released the data for home sales that closed in September. And beyond that, they’re the lowest since 1995.Īnd as I said, investors are pulling out even faster. They are now well below the lows during the lockdowns in the spring of 2020. And now they’re down 42% from a year ago.īut compared to early 2021, so that was roughly the peak of the housing frenzy, mortgage applications have collapsed by 52%. They started plunging in February this year, as mortgage rates were rising, and they continued to plunge. The most immediate view on what home sales might turn out to be, the most real-time view of current home sales, is the number of applications by home buyers for mortgages to purchase a home.Īnd those mortgage applications have collapsed by 42% in the latest week, compared to a year ago. The plunge in sales has just been stunning, and it’s getting worse. They’re pulling back because they cannot afford the mortgage payments at 7% and even cash buyers, including institutional buyers that buy rental properties, they are pulling back and they’re pulling back faster than regular home buyers, because they see how home prices are now skidding, and professional investors don’t want to buy at the top and ride the whole thing down. And home buyers are reacting exactly the way they’re supposed to: They’re pulling back from agreeing to pay those ridiculous prices.Īnd we see that in the numbers everywhere, and they’re pulling back more every month. These price spikes are now getting hit by the 7% mortgage rates. There have been similar price spikes in other markets. These markets include the metros of Miami, Tampa, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, and others. Over the past 20 years through early this year, home prices in expensive markets have tripled or quadrupled, according to the Case Shiller index. With 7% mortgage rates after a 60% price spike in two years, sales have plunged, and those sales that are taking place are taking place at lower prices. And we know how this is going to end and it already ended: In the Miami metro and the Tampa metro, for example, home prices spiked by 60% in two years, according to the Case-Shiller index. Over the past two years, we’ve seen spikes of home prices of 30% to 60%. So now we’ve got sky-high home prices, and I mean ridiculous home prices, and mortgage rates that were normal when home prices were just a fraction of today’s prices. Now we have surging interest rates and the opposite of money printing: quantitative tightening. Home prices have shot up to ridiculous highs in the era of interest rate repression and money printing by the Federal Reserve. But there’s a difference between 2002 and now: The magnitude of the home prices. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has more than doubled since last year, from less than 3%, to now over 7%, the highest in 20 years, the highest since 2002. And in some markets, they’re going down faster than they’d spiked on the way up. After mind-boggling ridiculous spikes, home prices in most markets are dropping, and in some markets, they’re plunging at the fastest pace on record. Raging inflation knocked out the “Fed put,” and banks are no longer on the hook for mortgages taxpayers and investors are.

While there are no enemies to fend off in "Timberborn," each settlement must keep track of its water resources, which are attacked every cycle by droughts. District settlements in "Timberborn" will often feature stacked housing and towered dam walls, giving a layer of complex building and a different kind of flexibility. Capable engineers, the beavers of "Timberborn" have cracked the code when it comes to vertical building. There are two playable factions in "Timberborn" - the Folktails, keen on environmentalism, and the Iron Teeth, hot for industrialism. With its unique blend of exploration and roguelike elements that change up each build, "Dorfromantik" is a hypnotizer. "Dorfromantik” won Best Game at Gamescom's Indie Arena Booth in 2021, and it's easy to see why. While not incredibly deep upon first examination, "Dorfromantik" offers plenty of replayability thanks to the unique tiles and biomes locked behind harder achievements. Whether the map becomes a painted mosaic landscape or a utilitarian network depends on whether the player is searching for a pleasant experience or a high score. Unlike most other city builders, "Dorfromantik" is about as concerned with efficiency and beauty as its player is. All the while, the breathtaking visuals and charming soundtrack mesmerize the player into placing just one more tile. Another circuit of toy-like boats floats below upon a similar network of rivers. It's kind of impossible not to enjoy a session of "Dorfromantik." The environment quickly expands with little trains puffing steam clouds across railroads. This game's unique flavor and flexibility in game modes makes it a top contestant for city building enthusiasts. In this mode, players experience classic moments from the movie franchise through the lense of city management mechanics. Most interesting, though, is the Chaos Theory game mode. And once the tutorial-style campaign is completed, those aforementioned unlocked features can then be used in the game's expansive Sandbox mode. While necessary to unlock the game's core features, the main campaign is also quite enjoyable. Value comes packed in "Jurassic World Evolution 2" in many shapes and sizes. And best of all, quality-of-life improvements for tools like terraforming and speeding up the evolutionary clock make "Jurassic World Evolution 2" feel like a well-tuned experience. Furthermore, bioengineering new dinosaurs through DNA fossils enables customization of park animals unique to the genre. Airborne and aquatic dinosaurs have been added by popular request. Gameplay-wise, "Jurassic World Evolution 2" is the game that "Jurassic World Evolution" should have been. "Airborne Kingdom" keeps its players coming back with custom color palettes for each building, capitalizing on the game's beautiful scrapbook style. Players are given quests in each of the 12 kingdoms to fulfill short-term goals, all while accomplishing their overall daily goals. The pace of play in "Airborne Kingdom" is done masterfully, as noted in PC Gamer's review. Playing "Airborne Kingdom" is never too hard, with an easier difficulty suited to more relaxing experiences. When mechanical and artistic visions blend so well, the result is innovative and fresh. A cheeky twist on traditional proximity requirements, the balance system in "Airborne Kingdom" gives ample mechanical weight to the game's novel aesthetics. In order to keep the skyship city afloat properly, "Airborne Kingdom" requires players to balance their constructions by considering a buildings' weight. While many other city builders follow the basic premise of cities in real - where people settle down in a fixed place to keep everything centralized - "Airborne Kingdom" rises above such realistic expectations by making the core city a flying explorer itself. There are three main types of information I find myself capturing: 1. In this new setup, installing and using the DropBox app on all my devices eliminates most of the friction. It can be dead simple to get stuff into it, but once you step away from features like the Web Clipper, it gets more difficult. Collecting things is where Evernote shines. Storing and working with the files is the easy part. Just look at Brett Terpstra's iTextEditors to see how many options you have on iOS for editing text files. It's pretty easy to find apps (no matter your OS) that will work with these file types, and their broad use means new apps are always being created to pair with them. The base file formats I'm working with are: This is also linked to a local git repository on my Mac which allows me to review changes from my editor. I keep a folder for all my writing (articles, podcast scripts, book chapters, website alterations) which is linked to Editorial to make writing from my phone easier. The one grouping that gets special treatment is Writing. Each podcast episode has its own folder under Podcasts. Client projects have a dedicated folder under Clients. Unless it has a preprocessed location, information goes here for organizing later.Īfter the inbox, I treat the remainder of my folder structure much like I would my tags from Evernote. This is identical to my methods in Evernote. The folder that I use as an inbox becomes the center point for collection. The base of the system is a folder structure in DropBox. I could build a new proprietary system or one that uses shell scripts and such, but that's not easily picked up by folks who aren't interested in scripting their Mac. I should note that I wanted this alternative to be something that is easy for others to use as well. With those two criteria in place, it was pretty easy to whittle this down to a simple folder structure in DropBox. In order for these files to be used by almost any app I choose, it needs to use DropBox as a backend. In the current app world, that means the information needs to be stored in raw text, images, or PDFs. I'm ultimately looking for a way to access standard files from any app I choose. Neither of those requirements are something I'm willing to meet. But no matter which of these "all-in-one" solutions I looked at, they all either have a proprietary file format or they require (or highly recommend) you to use their own apps to work with your data. DEVONThink led the pack with its standard file database on the backend. I looked into a number of alternatives to Evernote. I know a lot of people that rely on and love their service. I'm sure there are good things coming with the change in leadership and I genuinely hope it works out for them. I understand there is a new sheriff at Evernote, but if I want to have the freedom to use any app I want with the information I'm storing, I need to step away. But the moment you need to share the information with a non-Evernote user or edit it with something outside Evernote, the mess quickly grows. If you're good with their format and like using the Evernote apps for editing everything, it's great. I could go on, but I think you get the point. There is zero support for markdown in Evernote. I write in markdown and want to convert it to html.You have to monkey around with sharing the file to and from other apps to make it work and it usually creates new problems somewhere. Uploading files to Evernote creates a mess when you want to edit them.I can't easily get it into Evernote without a copy/paste in some form. I capture ideas in Drafts and want to move that text to an article I'm writing.There are a lot of ways this becomes an issue in my daily workflows. But I've run into some issues with it and it's come time to throw in the towel. I've written a number of articles on it and convinced a number of friends and family to start using it. I've been a supporter of Evernote for a long time. It felt like a wonderful love letter to arcade racers of the past. The racing game, rEVolution Racer, was pretty solid despite its short length, thanks to challenging gameplay and solid drifting mechanics. Gobabots is definitely the most fleshed out thanks to its prominence in the story as well as having a bit more variety in its gameplay. The other two minigames offer racing and rhythm, respectively. It’s a bit silly and simplistic, though I found myself trying to collect all the figures I could, which was either done through story missions or simply buying them at the arcade gift counter. The goal is to collect fruit in an arena and make a large smoothie in the center of the battlefield while the other team is trying to hinder their progress. In it, players use physical figures called Gobabots, each with different abilities and attributes. The main game, Gobabots, is a bizarre, isometric actioner. Here, tplayers can jump into one of three minigames and earn rewards for doing so. There’s an arcade of the same name where the local children hang out to play videogames. The other half is where the titular Button City comes in. Every character has a distinct personality and I loved learning about everyone. It starts a bit slow thanks to loads of text the player has to read, but I fell in love with the characters I was talking to, like a young woman working a food stand. These range from things like delivering a sandwich to his mom to handing out flyers for a rock show. One half is a light social sim in which Fennel travels to different parts of the map to talk to other characters and help them complete tasks. The gameplay is divided into two sections. The fixed isometric camera angle feels appropriate and each of the main areas is displayed in a way similar to a diorama. Characters are rendered in a bright, colorful, low-poly way, reminding me of the Nintendo 64’s visuals. Worried that her child will be cooped up inside throughout the summer, she encourages him to go out and make some friends.īutton City’s story oozes a wholesome charm that is complemented by its visual style. Players control Fennel, a young fox who loves video games and has just moved to a new town with his mom. Button City let me relive those carefree summer moments and took me back to a time where I wasn’t bogged down by things like crippling depression and loads of work to get through. While that end-of-summer rush is something I don’t look back on fondly, I do miss the carefree days of sitting around and playing video games during the break. Seeing crowds of people go crazy at Target and Wal-Mart as they pick up supplies is funny since I haven’t been to public school in over five years. The summer is winding down now and kids everywhere are returning to school. WTF Gogbots would never catch on in real life! |
