![]() We can partition the data based on the first letter of the hash key, i.e., Range Based Partitioning. Key-value databases are highly partitionable and can scale horizontally to sizes that other types of databases cannot. A "key-value based" choice like "Amazon DynamoDB", "Aerospike" or "Couchbase" would be easier to scale.Ī key-value database stores data as a collection of key-value pairs in which a key serves as a unique identifier.īoth keys and values can be anything, ranging from simple objects to complex compound objects. We would have billions of records, small objects or records of 1 KB with no relation, and read heavy queries. We can overcome this limitation by having a standby replica of KGS. The issue with this approach is that the KGS server is now the single point of failure. KGS also has to make sure not to provide the same key to multiple servers or multiple requests from the same server. In this approach, Key Generation Service (KGS) makes sure that all the generated keys are unique. The first issue of duplicate URLs can be solved by appending the user id (unique) to the input URL, and to overcome the already encoded input URL, we can decode all input URLs before generating the hash. Two potential issues can arise out of this solution, i.e., multiple users can get the same shortened URL for the same input URL and cases need to be handled if parts of the input URL are already URL-encoded. Using base64 encoding, a "six-letter long key" would result in 64^6 ~= 68.7 billion possible strings. The total number of unique URL hashes we would need to generate in 5 years would be 1B * 12 months * 5 years = 60 B. Hard Questions How do I create a short, unique URL? 1) Encoding the actual URL Storage needed = 1 Billion * 5 years * 12 months * 1 KB = 60 Billion KB ~ 60 TBĬache Storage: If we assume that 20% of URLs generate 80% of the traffic, we would like to cache these 20% of hot URLs. Let's assume these 1 B URLs will be kept for five years and each URL takes around 1 KB of storage. URL redirections per second or QPS = 100 x URL shortening = 40K/s.

![]() ![]() Enemies are numerous, and on most difficulties can overwhelm you if you're not careful – it's all about positioning and approach. But honestly, you're not playing Everspace 2 for the dialogue, you're playing it for the spaceships blowing up – which it does pretty dang well.įlying around is smooth, with nary a technical hitch or slowdown in sight delivering a classic adaptation of generally short-range dogfights where you rock-paper-scissors your equipped damage types to optimize against enemy shields and armor. There's even a great "story so far" log for those who take big breaks between game sessions-so it feels like a waste that characters spend so much time on empty dialogue or redundant explanations. Characters have conversations as you jump at high speed from encounter to encounter within systems, and you pick up missions from the same people over and over. It's kind of a shame, really, because you do spend a lot of time in this world. The writing and characters are something between stiff and disposable – though there are a few winners and good gags, my favorite among them being a broken garbage-disposal robot. You might be happy about that if you loved the story in the first one, and you might be a bit confused at times if you skipped it, but there's a cache of really thorough – if largely forgettable – log entries to bring you up to speed on the story and world you're dumped into. On a Windows 10 OS, save games, hi-res screenshots, configs, and crash logs can be found at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ES2\Saved.That's all to say Everspace 2 is pretty different from the original, though it is a direct sequel in terms of story: You're one of those clone pilots you played as in the first one's roguelite framework, but there's no more coming back from the dead.

![]() Using the simple formula below, you can easily convert tablespoons to cups.Ĭup = tablespoon / 16 Advertisements How to convert cups to tablespoons?ġ Cup is equal to 16 tablespoons (tbsp). Therefore, 8 tablespoons equal to 1/2 cups. To convert tablespoons to cups, divide the tablespoon value by 16 or multiply by 0.0625.įor example, to find out how many cups are in 8 tablespoons, you can use the following formula: How to convert tablespoons to cups?ġ Tablespoon (tbsp) is equal to 0.0625 cup. With this tool, you can easily determine the cup value of a tablespoon value by simply sliding the bar to the left or to the right, the converter instantly calculates and displays the corresponding cup value.īelow, you will find information on how to determine the equivalent value of cups in a tablespoon and how to accurately convert tablespoons to cups and vice versa. This table lists a range of common tablespoons values alongside their corresponding cup equivalents.Īlso, if you have to convert tbsp to cups frequently, we offer a unique and interactive slide bar converter that simplifies the process of converting common tablespoons values. In addition to the converter, the tablespoons to cups conversion table can be a helpful resource. The converter calculates the equivalent volume in cups and displays the result rounded to four decimal places to ensure that the conversions are useful for everyday users. It works by taking the input value in tablespoons and applying the conversion factor of 0.0625 cup per tablespoon. ![]() The tablespoons to cups converter is a simple and efficient tool used to convert volume measurements from tablespoons to cups. The converter and the tables are based on US tablespoons and cups. ![]() ![]() Since older Noah was portrayed by James Garner and he had brown eyes, Ryan had to wear brown contacts to cover up his blue eyes. clearly he wasn't looking at the same Ryan Gosling we know and love.ġ3. Filmen starter på et ældrehjem, hvor den ældre mand, som kaldes 'Duke' (James. Advarsel - Handling, afslutning og/eller plot afsløres i det følgende.

The Notebook er et romantisk kærligheds-drama fra 2004 med Rachel McAdams og Ryan Gosling i hovedrollerne. Nick actually invited Ryan over to give him the news that he got the part and told him, "I want you to play this role because you're not like the other young actors out there in Hollywood. The director, Nick Cassavetes, cast Ryan Gosling as Noah because he wasn't handsome. The show, which was set to air on The CW, would have followed Allie and Noah's relationship "against the backdrop of the racial politics, economic inequities, and social mores of post-World War II of the late 1940s in North Carolina." Unfortunately, nothing came from it and a few years later we learned that the network was never able to find a writer for the series so "at the moment it's in the banks," whatever that means.ġ2. Back in 2015, Entertainment Weeklyreported on the news that a TV show based on the movie was in the works. ![]() She received her script for the movie the night before her audition when she happened to be at another movie's premiere! That only makes the fact that she beat out the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Biel with this flawless audition even MORE astounding.ġ1. Rachel McAdams had less than a day to prepare for her audition. That was the day Nicholas heard the story of how the couple met, which later inspired The Notebook.ĩ. The grandparents couldn't make it to Nicholas and Cathy's wedding because they were sick, so the day after the ceremony, Nicholas and Cathy put back on their tux and dress and surprised the couple with a second, private celebration. The couple was together for 60 years and Nicholas's ex was very close to them. Nicholas Spark's book is based on his ex-wife Cathy's grandparents. This edition features over 10 minutes of deleted scenes that were edited back into the film.Ĩ. A post on Nicholas Sparks' website talks about a special edition of The Notebook premiering on ABC Family (now Freeform) back in 2012. The movie balances things out so you get both sides of their story and helps you understand her.ħ. You get to see his reactions to things Allie says or does, but it's not from her pov. The book is mostly from Noah's perspective. Allie's has a larger role in the movie than she does in the book. These stories will remind you to follow your own heart.6. This movie will probably make you cry and that seems to be what Nicolas Sparks does best in all of his books, including Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember. For those people, the director even includes a scene of battle from WWII.įor those people who love a good, sappy love story every once in a while, this movie is most definitely for you and others just waiting to embrace a love story. There are some viewers out there who will only watch a movie for its fight scenes or if it falls into their favorite genre. Noah later tells Allie to “think about what you want.” When Noah talks to Allie on their first date, he tells her, “You don’t do what you want.” Allie always does what her parents want her to do. Noah sees that Allie needs to do this and inspires her. So, there is subplot tension: Will she remember their life ever again?Īt the heart of the film’s story is a simple theme seen over and over again in many movies: follow your heart. The elderly Allie has dementia, and her husband reads to her everyday to remind her of their life together. The story is complicated by a present-day situation. Will she marry the man she truly loves or go for the man who makes her parents happy? She quickly has second thoughts when she sees that Noah finally did what he wanted – remodeled an old plantation house. ![]() Lon is the perfect choice for Allie because he has money and her parents approve of his class. ![]() ![]() ![]() Saveįinally, we stir in a cornstarch slurry, so it clings well to the chicken. Except for green onions, this sauce does not pair well with other types of herbs. We prefer our sauce with a kick of heat, so we added pepper, paprika, and Sriracha to the mix. Our final main component is Worcestershire sauce, adding a touch of umami and smoky flavor. It can be either vinegar or ketchup, but since we’re going for a brown sauce, ketchup is the best choice. Next, a light touch of acidity to play with the palate’s desire for more of the same. If you’re into the cuisine, we highly suggest keeping a Japanese soy sauce in your pantry because its fragrance really sets it apart from other types of soy sauces. Most Japanese sauces are formulated with soy sauce and sugar. Katsu Sauce for Chickenĭespite the many variations this sauce comes in, it has an easy-to-grasp core formula that you can use to build your very own version. All of this can be skipped since most of the flavor lies in the sauce, but the more the merrier. This item is relatively easy to find, and it’s crucial in achieving that crunchy, appealing finishing product.īefore going through the breading station, we season the meat with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. In terms of the breading station, it is pretty much similar to regular fried chicken but instead of regular breadcrumbs, we use Panko breadcrumbs. You can also choose chicken tenders for a softer, juicier texture. Our air fryer chicken katsu recipe calls for: Saveįor the sake of simplicity, we chose chicken breasts because they are ready to cook once unpacked - no deboning, trimming, or skinning needed. We only use data from USDA’s food database, so a high level of accuracy is assured. Specifically, one serving of our air fryer chicken katsu recipe provides you with 500 calories, 2.4 g saturated fats, and 590 mg sodium. The dipping sauce is carefully formulated, guaranteeing both a great taste and a healthy sodium level.We use chicken breasts for this dish: the meat cut with the least amount of saturated fats. ![]() By reducing the cooking time and using only a little oil, we can significantly reduce the levels of this substance in our foods.īesides calories, we also keep our eyes closely peeled on the saturated fats and sodium levels, and take appropriate measures: This eliminates the risk of overconsuming calories, hence, reducing the risk of unwanted weight gain.įried foods often come with acrylamide, a substance labeled ‘likely to be carcinogenic to humans’ born from cooking starch in fat for too long. Although it’s not exactly healthy to consume fried dishes on a daily basis, we’ve adjusted this dish to make it a little healthier.įirst of all, we strictly control the amount of fat used to fry the chicken. ![]() ![]() ![]() Make sure you don't spill any out! Except goodness knows what you'd have to do for that to happen, considering the way I wildly off-roaded to get back. After digging up a couple of tons of silicon rock, you're then tasked with putting it in a massive tipper truck (we're talking ladders to get on board scale) and driving it over to the plant. But then when operating the enormous digger-wheel-doodah (it really made an impression, you can tell), it's a colossal mess of a broken engine, as you watch the metal structure impossibly slide into the rockface, then be told you broke it when seemingly far more appropriately placed. It's still kind of fun to pootle about in the spectacularly huge bucket-wheel excavator, driving what looks like an on-land oil rig to mine rocks out of a nearby cliff-side. It's a shame, because the novelty of controlling such enormous apparatus could have been quite the thing. Apparently that's a big part of large-scale industrial work - plugging in batteries. ![]() The result is a very silly set of tasks set in slow-motion, with no real sense of operating the heavy vehicular machinery, but quite a lot of climbing ladders and plugging in batteries. And perhaps worst of all, despite implementing a physics engine, you don't actually ever hook anything, or pick anything up - it's done automatically by putting one thing in the proximity of another, and a little countdown clock ticking off. Operating a crane takes about ten minutes to manoeuvre it into place, but setting a machine's fuses into the correct position is a puzzle minigame. This is a game in which you're required to repeat the exact same dull, achingly slow task four times in a row, but you can climb ladders at 5 metres per second. But the game opts for this utterly berserk approach to embracing realism, with its focus entirely placed on the banality of such industrial work, and not in the simulation thereof. Provide a series of enormous vehicles to drive about in a story scenario tangentially linked to launching a shuttle. I didn't want to know this.) Turns out it's even more dreary than he can cope with. (I now know that what I thought were just "diggers" are in fact "back hoes". Perhaps this could be something I play while he watches, instead of having to sit in front of more sodding Blippi YouTube videos. But Giant Machines 2017 grabbed my attention simply because my almost-two-year-old is presently obsessed with all things machinery. I think I came in too early, taking a look at the earlier wave of Farming Simulator and the like when things were very, very poor. I will admit that I have not hitched a ride on the Enthusiasm Simulator 2018, whether genuine, ironic or post-ironic, for your bus driving, truck trundling, bus stopping simulation games. Here's wot I think of Giant Machines 2017 : Do your vehicles require ladders to get on board? Do they have enough surface area to host a cocktail party? No? Pshah I say. Stand aside, other construction simulators. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Atlantic has a very interesting story about Larry Garrison, a freelance news producer whose job it is to square the circle between the value being offered and the refusal to pay. On the other hand, exclusives with sources can be valuable, especially when those sources can tell us about something cool like sex and/or murder involving celebrities (or at least attractive white girls aged 15-30) rather than some boring shit about Congress or whatshisface from that place where they don’t like us. Traditional news organizations have a long-standing ethical code (but no legal restriction) against paying their sources. I do appreciate it when the FOSS community compiles a Mac binary of cross-platform software and I use Lyx, NetLogo, and GIMP all the time, but a file manager is the kind of thing where I really prefer thick compatibility with the operating system. Myself, I gave up on it for reasons that are common to cross-platform software: it’s written in an interpreted language so it launches slow and it doesn’t integrate with Spotlight, QuickLook, services, the Aqua toolkit, etc. The advantage of doing so is that this gives you access to the “favorites” from within open/save dialogs, which I find very convenient for navigating if I’m trying to reach something that I use a lot but nonetheless is not in “Recent Places.” Note that you can do so without any kind of special file manager software just by creating a “favorites” folder of your own and populating it with aliases.Īlso of possible interest for orthodox file manager devotees is the cross-platform muCommander (free). Parenthetically, a tip for using PathFinder is to add a link to the “Favorites” folder (~/Library/Favorites) to your “Places” in the Finder/PathFinder sidebar. This also implies that any services you’ve written for Finder will automatically work in TotalFinder whereas I found I had to recreate them in Automator for the benefit of PathFinder. On the plus side, being part of Finder means you don’t have both Finder and your OFM running, as is the case with PathFinder. The only thing TotalFinder does is let you choose between a tabbed interface and a dual pane interface. Also because it mods the Finder, TotalFinder only works with Snow Leopard. ![]() On the one hand, PathFinder has a much bigger feature set, including such things as bookmarks, menu/submenu file navigation, command line, drop stack, etc. PathFinder is a stand-alone program (as is Forklift) whereas TotalFinder is a mod of the standard Finder. ![]() The current version isn’t quite as well-featured as PathFinder, for instance there’s no command line or version control, but a) it has a slightly smaller memory footprint, b) at $30 it’s cheaper for a non-educational license, and c) the interface is less cluttered and looks more like the Finder). ( Forklift is very similar to Pathfinder and also very good. In contrast is the mega-featured PathFinder 5 ($40, on sale for $25 to educational users until September 7). Two options I think are especially worth checking out are the minimalist TotalFinder (free while in development, $15 when version 1.0 comes out). When I first got a Mac this really bothered me, but as I mentioned, I’ve mostly gotten used to just keeping tons of Finder windows open.Īnyway, while a dual-pane file manager doesn’t come standard, there are a few third-party options. In a recent post I mentioned that one of the (few) crappy things about OS X not related to network externalities is that there’s no dual-pane file manager. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the late 18th century, Alexandria became a major centre of the international shipping industry and one of the most important trading centres in the world, both because it profited from the easy overland connection between the Mediterranean and Red Seas and the lucrative trade in Egyptian cotton.įor a chronological guide, see Timeline of Alexandria. By 641, the city had already been largely plundered and lost its significance before re-emerging in the modern era. In the modern world, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria both lay claim to this ancient heritage. ![]() The city was a major centre of early Christianity and was the centre of the Patriarchate of Alexandria, which was one of the major centres of Christianity in the Eastern Roman Empire. It was at one time the largest city in the ancient world before being eventually overtaken by Rome. Alexandria was the intellectual and cultural centre of the ancient Mediterranean for much of the Hellenistic age and late antiquity. ![]() It retained this status for almost a millennium, through the period of Roman and Eastern Roman rule until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 641 AD, when a new capital was founded at Fustat (later absorbed into Cairo).Īlexandria was best known for the Lighthouse of Alexandria ( Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World its Great Library, the largest in the ancient world and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Alexandria grew rapidly, becoming a major centre of Hellenic civilisation, and replacing Memphis as Egypt's capital during the reign of the Ptolemaic pharaohs who succeeded Alexander. The city was founded originally in the vicinity of an Egyptian settlement named Rhacotis (that became the Egyptian quarter of the city). The city extends about 40 km (25 mi) along the northern coast of Egypt, and is the largest city on the Mediterranean, the second-largest in Egypt (after Cairo), the fourth-largest city in the Arab world, the ninth-largest city in Africa, and the ninth-largest urban area in Africa. Called the "Bride of the Mediterranean" internationally, Alexandria is a popular tourist destination and an important industrial centre due to its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez. 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria grew rapidly and became a major centre of Hellenic civilisation, eventually replacing Memphis, in present-day Greater Cairo, as Egypt's capital.

If you are residing in or planning to visit a state known for poor cell phone coverage, it's wise to research and choose a cell service provider with a reputation for offering better coverage in that specific region. States with vast rural areas, prone to natural disasters, or with limited network investments may face challenges in providing reliable cell phone coverage. However, it's essential to note that the situation may have changed since my last update in September 2021.Ĭell phone coverage varies significantly across the United States due to geographical, population-related, and infrastructure factors. While coverage can vary within each state, certain states have historically faced challenges with cell phone coverage. Identifying the State with the Worst Coverage: States with limited competition or lower market demand might not attract the same level of investment in infrastructure as more populous states with greater demand. The availability and quality of cell phone coverage are also influenced by the level of investment made by cell service providers. High population density in cities can strain network capacity, leading to slower data speeds and dropped calls during peak usage hours. Interestingly, some states with large urban centers may also face issues with cell phone coverage due to network congestion. States with extensive farmlands, mountains, or sparsely populated regions often struggle to offer robust network infrastructure, leading to weaker signals and dead zones in remote areas. One common challenge faced by states with large rural areas is providing comprehensive cell phone coverage. Several variables can impact a state's coverage, including geographical terrain, population density, investment in infrastructure, and the presence of natural or man-made obstructions. ![]() In this article and video, we will conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify the state with the worst cell phone coverage, exploring the factors contributing to its challenges and offering insights for users in that region.īefore delving into the specific state, it's essential to understand the factors that influence cell phone coverage. However, not all states in the United States offer the same level of service. Whether for work, social interactions, or emergencies, reliable cell phone coverage is crucial.
