It’s also a nice check to confirm that our dependencies are really what we think they are - i.e. we don’t have stray lib:: or library(lib) calls hiding in the code somewhere. Why did we not let packrat do this for us? Installing many libraries at once can take a longish time and can occasionally throw errors we would like to know about or prompts we would like to answer. Next we install our packages into local library as we normally would with install.packages(). # - rmarkdown, lubridate, dplyr, readr, drake, ggplot2 # Snapshot written to '/home/miles/repos/packrat_demo/packrat/packrat.lock' # Initializing packrat project in directory: gitignore so that the library itself excluded from our repository. Crucially we instruct packrat to update our. In this step we initialise a project-local library which will automatically have packrat installed into it. Here I describe the workflow I used to create this example repo. It turns out the kind of workflow I was looking for is possible, but you have to deviate from the default options and workflow advertised in the documentation. From reading around online this seems like a common experience - the packrat API is a bit confusing, much of it seems geared toward enterprise-level dependency management, rather than project-level. Packrat was the last thing I tried because I had already tried it a long time ago and found it a struggle - it seemed to want me to place all the source code of all my dependencies under version control(!!!). The rest of this post describes my packrat workflow and some of the issues with the other two packages. ![]() ![]() I tried: checkpoint, jetpack, and packrat and eventually settled on packrat. I decided to research dependency management in R for something simple and light that could provide a foolproof end user experience i.e. ‘a button’ or a one-liner could be run once the repo had been cloned to set up an environment with the exact same package versions I had used in development. This was somewhat of a relief, but my eyes were now fully opened to what can happen when dependencies are not stated in explicit enough detail. My colleague is new to R, and I cringed and fretted for his user experience as the code basically blew up on the launchpad, spewing alien error messages the likes of which I had never seen.Īs I dug into his sessionInfo() it turned out he had installed Microsoft R Open, which runs an R version and CRAN package versions that are quite behind the current releases. Well let me tell you it was a catastrophic failure. The code was only weeks old, had maybe 40 recursive dependencies and used only CRAN versions… what could possibly go wrong right? A couple of weeks ago I proudly shared a drake pipeline with a colleague along with some basic instructions: “Install R -> clone this repo -> install these packages -> run this file”.

Take a look at our guide to Halo Infinite Multiplayer here. Halo Infinite includes both a campaign and a new online multiplayer mode, which will be free-to-play. Halo 5: Guardians delivers epic multiplayer experiences that span multiple modes, full-featured level. It has already been announced that Infinity will be available to play on PC, providing further reason to believe that Halo 5: Guardians will eventually join the rest. Halo 5: Guardians delivers epic multiplayer experiences that span multiple modes, full-featured level building tools, and the most dramatic Halo story to date. Play Halo 5: Guardians with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta). Halo Infinite is the latest instalment in the Halo series and will be released on December 8th 2021. Halo: REACH, the Combat Evolved Anniversary DLC, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3:ODST and Halo 4 are all included, leaving Halo 5 as the only currently available Halo title not available on PC. The collection can be purchased, but can be played for free if you have Xbox Game Pass. I would go so far as to say that probably all the programmers involved in creating the engine that was used in Halo 5, no longer work at 343 industry. The Master Chief Collection is currently available across Xbox One and Series S/X consoles and Windows PC. Current iteration of the development team at 343 Industries does not have the technical competence to port Halo 5 to PC. Other Halo Titles On PC – The Master Chief Collection However, Halo 5: Guardians is one of the most likely titles to be coming to PC in the future due to all earlier Halo titles being included in The Master Chief Collection. Here are the Halo 5: Forge System Requirements (Minimum) CPU: Intel Core i5 at 2.3Ghz or AMD equivalent CPU SPEED: Info RAM: 8 GB VIDEO CARD: GeForce 650 Ti. Halo 5: Guardians PC Release DateĪs with everything else mentioned in the GeForce NOW leak, we don’t have any official confirmation, much less a release date. This suggests that the fifth instalment in the franchise will be joining its predecessors on PC, and hopefully Xbox Game Pass, at some point in the near future. There’s bad news for all the Halo fans that prefer to play games on one of our best gaming PCs, because developer 343 Industries has declared there are no plans to bring Halo 5 to PC. Halo 5: Guardians Coming To PC?Įvery current Halo game has been unearthed in the GeForce NOW leak, including Guardians. Halo 2s PC release, meanwhile, found itself caught up in two interrelated Microsoft initiatives Windows Vista and Microsofts Games for Windows Live initiative. So, with Halo 5 appearing alongside Halo titles already on PC, it’s not a long shot to expect it sooner rather than later. ![]() The list of titles dug up from within GeForce NOW showed every game on the system, released, unreleased, announced and everything in between. ![]() During this time, he wrote Two New Sciences (1638), primarily concerning kinematics and the strength of materials, summarizing work he had done around forty years earlier. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest. He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant. Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted biblical creationism. Galileo's championing of Copernican heliocentrism (Earth rotating daily and revolving around the Sun) was met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. ![]() With an improved telescope he built, he observed the stars of the Milky Way, the phases of Venus, the four largest satellites of Jupiter, Saturn's rings, lunar craters and sunspots. He invented the thermoscope and various military compasses, and used the telescope for scientific observations of celestial objects. Galileo studied speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principle of relativity, inertia, projectile motion and also worked in applied science and technology, describing the properties of the pendulum and " hydrostatic balances". Galileo has been called the father of observational astronomy, modern-era classical physics, the scientific method, and modern science. He was born in the city of Pisa, then part of the Duchy of Florence. Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), commonly referred to as Galileo Galilei ( / ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ oʊ ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ/ GAL-il- AY-oh GAL-il- AY, US also / ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l iː oʊ -/ GAL-il- EE-oh -, Italian: ) or simply Galileo, was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. ![]() The doctors tell Macbeth she cannot be cured. Meanwhile, Lady Macbeth is slowly going insane, haunted by the ghosts of her actions. The heir to the throne, Malcolm, returns to take back the kingdom against the murderer Macbeth. Macbeth has MacDuff’s family murdered and his property sized, but MacDuff himself escapes. And he is convinced he must kill MacDuff. He meets with the witches once more who warn him that MacDuff, another nobleman in the army, is a danger to Macbeth. Macbeth is visited by the ghost of Banquo, who haunts him. Macbeth has Banquo murdered, but his sons escape. Malcolm flees in fear of his own life, only to be suspected of the killing, therefore allowing Macbeth to inherit the throne.Ī post shared by Sleep No More Banquo & MacDuffīanquo, Macbeth’s best friend and a general in King’s army, was privy to the meeting with the witches and suspects Macbeth. Macbeth carries out the deed even though he is pained to do so. When King Duncan comes to visit Macbeth’s manors, Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth to carry out the prophecy and kill Duncan. Until that time he instructs Macbeth to care and guide him. King Duncan announces that his elder son Malcolm will become the new King after his death. One night he is visited by three witches who prophesize that he will become King of Scotland. Macbeth is a general in the army of King Duncan, the King of Scotland. If you’ve never seen or read Macbeth, this little synopsis will help you out in understanding the scenes you might glimpse in on throughout the show. Futon) and finally the members of the McKittrick Hotel (Catherine Campbell, The Porter and the Bell Hop) Macbeth CharactersĪll the Macbeth characters are a little easier to put together.

The overlap, however, is considerable, for almost half of Europe ’72 comes from that Lyceum show. Now, three reissues to mark the 50th anniversary keep it relatively simple, with the original Europe ’72 remastered as a double CD and triple LP, and the final show of the tour at London’s Lyceum Theatre captured in its entirety as a 4CD set. ![]() Then came Europe ’72: The Complete Recordings, a mammoth 73CD boxset containing every one of the 22 shows in full. In 2011 came Europe ’72 Volume 2, with 20 tracks not included on the first volume, prominent among them a legendary hour-long jam around “Dark Star” and “The Other One” from the rain-soaked Bickershaw Festival. On the 30th anniversary of the trip, Steppin’ Out With The Grateful Dead: England ’72presented a further 39 tracks from seven of the UK shows. It was the last with Pigpen, whose gritty, soulful vocals and R&B leanings balanced the cosmic visions of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, and the first with keyboardist Keith Godchaux and his wife and backing vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux, the joint addition of whom made the music “warmer and more organic”, as Lesh put it.īefore the year was out, 17 tracks distilling peak moments from shows in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Copenhagen had been released as the triple LP Europe ’72. The tour found the Dead at a pivotal moment. ORDER NOW: Wilco are on the cover of the latest issue of Uncut.Yet among the hipsters, flipsters, lovers and others along for the ride, central to the travelling circus was the recording crew under Betty Cantor, who captured every one of the shows in 16-track glory for the live album that was intended to offset the trip’s huge expenses. As the tour programme proudly told us, they were not just a rock’n’roll band but an entire “community”, rooted in a freewheeling hippie idealism that for band and fans alike was a core part of the Dead’s raison d’être.

On a sad note, this was one of Pigpen last shows and we get the final versions of Two Souls, Chinatown Shuffle, Mr Charlie and Next Time You See Me, all in the first set. And Londontown still got a He's Gone, Cumberland, Straw, and China>Rider after that before the band accepted the request for another 18 minutes of first set "encore". ![]() ![]() The tenth song was Playing in the Band at 18:01 the longest version of the tune to date. The longest first set ever was at this show, 19 songs! and the walk off audience-clapping requested Not Fade Away>GDTRFB>Not Fade Away ends it. And then I noticed how rare (see chart below) this obvious pairing was.Īnd then I remembered sides 5 and 6 of Europe '72, my very most favorite LP sides of the Dead in the 1973-1974 era before I had seen a show were the Truckin and Morning Dew from this very show, with the Epilog and Prelude moving towards and from The Other One.Īnd then I remembered in 2011 when I listened to all 22 shows from the Complete Europe '72 recordings over a three week of long walks, and how they saved the very best for last. And then I noticed that The Other One sandwiched Morning Dew. Then I noticed that The Other One did not go into Morning Dew until the last night of the Europe '72 tour on May 26, 1972. A few days ago I wrote about the 2-15-1973 show where Dark Star met Eyes of the World for the first time and I decided to write a similar piece, When The Other One Met Morning Dew, which I thought would be like 1969 or something. This is how the (my) creative process works. ![]() "But the Gibson cocktail is not crowned, is it?" Interrupted Mrs. How you observe I put this spoonful of maraschino in the pit I have quarried in this grape fruit, and" – "Colonial Holland is a very superior article of gin, my dear, which if mixed with an equal part of dry vermouth and properly chilled, makes a Gibson cocktail. A Recent Society Function Discussed by the Major and His Wife." The salient section: Townsend in the Sunday 13th February 1898 edition of New York's The World newspaper, titled " Major Max Philosophizes. The first written reference to a Gibson appears in a piece written by Edward W. However, what differentiated a Gibson Martini was originally not its garnish but the lack of orange bitters in its recipe at a time when dashes of bitters in Martinis were the norm. The Martini is served with an olive, the Gibson with a small pickled cocktail onion." He purportedly had the bartender serve him cold water so he could stay sober while his clients became intoxicated the cocktail onion garnish served to distinguish his beverage from those of his clients.As David Embury says in his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, " The distinction between the Martini and the Gibson is simple. A similar story involves an investment banker named Gibson, who would take his clients out for the proverbial three-martini business lunches. Although said to be a teetotaller, he often had to attend cocktail receptions, where he'd ask for a martini glass filled with cold water, garnished with a small onion so he could distinguish his drink from others. Other stories of the drink's origins feature apocryphal businessmen, including an American diplomat who served in Europe during Prohibition. Even the towns of Gibsonville, Seventy-Six, Pine Grove, Whiskey Diggings, and several others, did their trading here. During the winter of 1852 and '53, snow fell in Onion Valley to the depth of twenty-five feet. Īnother theory is that the Gibson after whom the drink was named was a popular California onion farmer, as seen in the publication Hutchings' illustrated California magazine: Volume 1 (p. Other reporting supports this theory Edward Townsend, former vice president of the Bohemian Club, is credited with the first mention of the Gibson in print, in a humorous essay he wrote for the New York World published in 1898. Charles Clegg, when asked about it by Herb Caen, also said it was from San Francisco, not New York. Gibson, who claimed to have created the drink at the Bohemian Club in the 1890s. Īnother version now considered more probable recounts a 1968 interview with a relative of a prominent San Francisco businessman named Walter D. As the story goes, Connolly simply substituted an onion for the olive and named the drink after the patron. Supposedly, he challenged Charley Connolly, the bartender of the Players Club in New York City, to improve upon a martini. According to one theory, it was invented by Charles Dana Gibson, who created the popular Gibson Girl illustrations. The exact origin of the Gibson is unclear, with numerous popular tales and theories about its genesis. There is no known recipe for the Gibson garnished with an onion before William Boothby's 1908 Gibson recipe. Other pre- Prohibition recipes all omit bitters and none of them garnish with an onion. But the earliest recipes for a Gibson – including the first known recipe published in 1908 by Sir David Austin – are differentiated more by how they treat the addition of bitters. In its modern incarnation, it is considered a cousin of the ubiquitous martini, distinguished mostly by garnishing with an onion instead of an olive. The Gibson is a mixed drink made with gin and dry vermouth, and often garnished with a pickled onion.

The practical result is that any boost EQ applied in MathAudio Headphone EQ should never clip the output form Foobar. cue files that Foobar2000 doesn't recognise well, you can edit them manually and change the path or the extension that are pointing it or use CueTools to check if the. The filtered output maximum peak is -6 dB below the pink noise output when no filters were applied. TTA files only in one ocation I saw a TTA file in years listening lossless music, they are pretty rare in comparison with APE, for example. In the second graph, the Headphone EQ slider was set to -6 dB. The Headphone EQ gains slider was set to 0 dB in this test. The remainder of the filtered response is below the output from Foobar with no EQ applied. The maximum boost peak touches the no EQ applied pink noise output. In one graph, the output of the pink noise signal with no EQ applied in the MathAudio plug in is compared to the output with the HD280 Pro filter active. In this EQ, there is a total range of about 11 dB between the maximum boost and cuts in the filter. There is a screenshot shown of an EQ I developed for my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones. Output from my laptop went to the ASIO driver for a Topping D10 DAC, and the analog output was input into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with measurements taken with ARTA. These were generated by playing a pink noise signal in Foobar 2000 with the MathAudio Headphone EQ plug in enabled in the DSP manager of the Playback Preference. Since then I have made some measurements with the results shown in the attached files. I also said that I had not made any measurements to confirm this hypothesis. In my earlier post on this thread ( #5), I mentioned that it appears that MathAudio Headphone EQ for Foobar reduces the overall output by setting the maximum boost applied in the EQ to a level of 0 dB.

Sometimes, you might just wear it to complement an outfit even. You may not need to wear one every day, but a blazer will come in handy when you need to get a little more dressed up. What makes jeans another minimalist wardrobe essential is how incredibly versatile they are. When you happen to stumble across a pair that really fits, and is great quality, buy more than one pair of it in a dark wash, a lighter one, and probably a coloured one as well.
