Using functions within a shell script - The Shell Scripting Tutorial

rmohns — 2024-02-08T19:05:16+00:00

A function may return a value in one of four different ways: Change the state of a variable or variables Use the exit command to end the shell script Use the return command to end the function, and return the supplied value to the calling section of the shell script echo output to stdout, which will be caught by the caller just as c=`expr $a + $b` is caught This is rather like C, in that exit stops the program, and return returns control to the caller. The difference is that a shell function cannot change its parameters, though it can change global parameters. A simple script using a function would look like this:

In-depth look at de-noising in Handbrake 0.9.9 (with image/video examples) | mattgadient.com

rmohns — 2023-08-23T15:43:37+00:00

hen it comes to the video encoder, noise is extra detail – detail that the encoder is going to try and keep, at least to some extent. And this is expensive detail to keep. Encoding a noisy source can easily double the bit-rate/file-size necessary at a given quality. And if you don’t give a noisy source enough bitrate, the overall quality of the picture tends to suffer heavily. If you’re looking for small file sizes, or you’re not a fan of noise on a visual level, removing some of this noise can be helpful. Handbrake includes a denoiser, so here I’ll show you how to use it.

NLMeans denoise filter - HandBrake

rmohns — 2023-08-23T15:35:41+00:00

Summary NLMeans is a denoise filter that produces higher quality output than HandBrake's old one (hqdn3d). Unlike hqdn3d, which reduces noise via lowpass filtering (removal of high frequency information), NLMeans achieves its result by averaging multiple patches of similar pixels together; the similarities remain and variance (usually noise) is attenuated. This method does a good job of reducing unwanted noise without clobbering the high frequency range, restoring the appearance of structure and detail found in the original source. Thanks to Dr. Dirk Farin for his GPL implementation of NLMeans for ffmpeg http://dirk-farin.net/projects/nlmeans/index.html, the basis for this work. Presets and tunes The four strength presets are ultralight, light, medium, and strong. - Ultralight does its best to remove a small amount of noise without substantially affecting the look of the original picture. - The others are fairly self explanatory. The five tunes are film, grain, highmotion, animation, and none (or omitted). - Film is suitable for all normal / live action content and removes slightly more chroma noise than luma noise. - Grain passes the luma completely untouched and is nearly identical to film concerning chroma, only slightly weaker on account of leaving the luma noise. The appearance of grain is well preserved when used in conjunction with x264's grain tune. For a very slight grain reduction, try film on ultralight. - Highmotion employs spatial-only filtering for the chroma channels in order to avoid color smearing between frames with very high motion (something which only becomes an issue at very strong settings) and is otherwise identical to film. - Animation is good for cel animation and tries harder to remove artifacts around edges while preserving their overall fidelity. - None uses equal strength for luma and chroma, and does not make any special adjustments for different types of content. For the CLI, presets are specified e.g., --nlmeans="medium" --nlmeans-tune="film". Custom (numeric) settings may be passed to --nlmeans, in which case --nlmeans-tune is ignored. Failure to specify any setting to --nlmeans uses the original filter default, 8:1:7:3:2:0.

Mohammed90 Mohammed Al Sahaf Jun '21 The way I manage containers’ data is by namespacing them into directories. I have a root directory called /docker in which all containers’ data live. I created a directory inside it, so the path becomes /docker/caddy. Caddy’s files/directories are laid out there. Thus I end up with: /docker/caddy/config /docker/caddy/data /docker/caddy/etc/caddy ← put your Caddyfile here When you launch a new container, map the directories (not files; there are 2 buttons) as follows (the entries are in the format: local => container: /docker/caddy/config => /config /docker/caddy/data => /data /docker/caddy/etc/caddy => /etc/caddy I don’t know if you’ve had these issues, but the base Synology OS owns the ports 80 and 443, so your HTTP and HTTPS ports needs to be mapped to different ports. My Caddyfile is something like this: { http_port 8080 https_port 8443 } my-domain-name { reverse_proxy : } Again, you have to map the ports when you’re launching the new container. I’d include screenshots, but the Synology and I are in different cities and it isn’t exposed externally (yet).

What is the Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Why You Need to Measure it

rmohns — 2023-03-03T18:03:36+00:00

Remember that Signal to Noise ratio, sometimes referred to as S/N ratio, isn’t a “ratio” but the difference between the signal-to-noise. So the bigger the number, the better. Most experts recommend that an SNR of 20 dB just for data — this is surfing the web, looking up charts and other related traffic. If you’re looking to stream high-quality videos or make good voice/video chats, then an SNR of 25 is going to be required. Here’s a list of what kind of Signal-to-Noise ratios to follow: 5dB to 10 dB: Just give it up now. Stop what you’re doing, and fix the problems. The noise is so high that its indistinguishable from the signal. 10 dB to 15 dB: Really slow, but at least there’s a signal. If all you’re doing is getting basic emails, then you can get by. Barely. 15 dB to 25 dB: This is average and competent for web browsing and file downloading. Just don’t expect to be watching 1080p videos off Netflix and Youtube at a good rate. 25 dB to 40 dB: Fast speed. This is where you can do video conferences, stream high-speed videos, and download large files like gigabyte sized .iso files or movies. 40 dB and Up: You are in the Matrix, and have become the One. Of course, this will be determined by your basic bandwidth strength. If your bandwidth strength is only -5 dB and your noise is 0, then your Signal to Noise is great but your signal strength is still trash. So first make sure the signal is strong, then focus on the signal to noise ratio.

Clutch adjustment how-to (800 Scrambler) | Ducati Scrambler Forum

rmohns — 2022-08-30T16:10:48+00:00

I've been reading about a lot of clutch problems lately. maybe it's about time to make a small post about how to set up your clutch decently (and also a little insight into why our clutches fail so often). First of all, I'd like start off saying I'm not an expert, I've never worked for any motorcycle manufacturer, let alone Ducati. I do am an old timer and have been working on my bikes mostly myself, apart from the jobs I don't have the tools for. Especially day-to-day maintenance. Chains, tires, brakes, bearings. Our clutches aren't the most trouble free ones, and I have found making sure it is properly adjusted could prevent at least some of the problems some people seem to have. Anyway, let's start. First of all make sure your lever at the handle bar rotates smooth, and is properly lubed. This pivot point only has a nylon "bearing", or in the case of Chinese replacement levers, anodized aluminium on a steel bolt. Considering the forces on the pivot point, this must be lubed. I consider generic bearing grease a good, and not too thick lubricant. Apply an ample dab, this keeps it lubed, and also keeps dust out. Also apply a little bit of the same grease to the barrel end of the clutch cable before you install it in the lever. This barrel rotates a bit in the lever while you pull the clutch. If you don't lube this the barrel will slowly wear the hole oval, won't rotate anymore and ultimately the cable can snap right next to the little barrel caused by metal fatigue. Next, make sure the first few inches of the outer cable align straight with the clutch perch. If it doesn't fix it with some velcro or a ty wrap. By doing this you prevent the inner cable from wearing on the outer cable right where the outer cable ends, in the adjuster. This also makes the clutch go a bit smoother (less friction). Auto part Suspension Suspension part Tire Brake Only now, adjust the clutch free play. Too much play and the clutch will not completely free and drag a little at a traffic light. In worst cases it won't allow you to select neutral. Too little play however, and the clutch can slip, especially in fifth and sixth when the torque load on the clutch is the highest. NB, you may not notice this in the lower gears as under lower loads the clutch may still engage! According to the manual the free play should be around 3-4mm if I recall correctly. Something like this. (twist the adjuster on the perch in or out till you have about the same play) Bicycle part Bicycle wheel Tire Bicycle Vehicle Ok, now that we have adjusted the clutch, we wan't to make sure it stays that way until we decide it needs readjustment. This may seem a stupid remark, but believe me, here is where Ducati failed us a bit. The adjuster does not have a counter nut as on most bikes, and solely relies on the little plate spring thingly underneath the perch. Fuel line Auto part Bumper Pipe Plumbing Stock, the tension on this spring is too little and won't prevent the adjuster from rotating. Typically it rotates in in, increasing the free play up to the point where the clutch won't completely free. And you can't find neutral anymore. Or you're standing at a traffic light for a minute with the clutch pulled in, all the time dragging it and wearing the discs... I noticed on my bike the adjuster wasn't phased by this spring at all, and just slowly ran out of adjustment. I check my bike over weekly, and every time I found the adjuster had turned a bit. Not much, but always a bit. Imagine if I never set it back to the proper free play...... Every time I adjusted mine I actually set it back at where it was was before. Until I took the little spring off the perch and bent it like 15 degrees like in the picture. Only now it locks the adjuster in place unless I turn it. And if you do, make sure the spring sits in a groove again. (and I wouldn't be surprised this clip is missing or at least non-functional on a lot of Scramblers). I seriously think the above could prevent clutch wear and failure. My bike is at 5500 miles now, and the clutch never needed adjustment apart from setting it back where it was before every time. I ride it in the in the worst environment (city traffic, daily) and in general I don't think it has a happy life. It never complained though and I'm convinced it will last a very long time...

The Importance of Dirt-Holding Capacity in Oil Filters | Machinery Lubrication

rmohns — 2022-07-09T13:32:32+00:00

There are two common types of filters: surface or membrane filters and depth filters. Surface filters simply trap particles on the surface or face of the filter. Depth filters allow the oil to flow throughout the body or depth of the filter and trap particles throughout the media. Perhaps the most crucial attribute of any filter is the ability to trap and hold dirt. This differential pressure can lead to a condition in which the filter’s bypass or cracking pressure is reached, allowing oil to flow through virtually unfiltered. Additionally, if the pressure becomes too great, it can cause the actual filter media to burst.Each filter has a specific pore size — this is the size of the openings within the media through which the oil and particles can pass. As the pore size gets smaller and smaller, the differential pressure across the media increases. Once particles are captured, it becomes a measure of how well the filter can retain them — this is known as the filter’s dirt holding capacity. Several factors contribute to how well filters hold the contaminants they catch. We’ve discussed the pore size of the filters, but pore density is equally important. Pore density can be described as the number of pores in a section of the filter. This is also known as the porosity of the filter. As pore size goes down, to maintain a low differential pressure across the media, the pore density must go up to account for the volume of oil in contact with the surface. Thus, filter depth and size also affect the dirt-holding capacity. Another thing to keep in mind when selecting filters is the material the media is composed of. This has an effect on the longevity of the filter, its adaptability to its environment, and its dirt-holding capacity. Two common types of filter media are cellulose (which is comprised of wood) and synthetics. Cellulose filter media has a large fiber size and a less consistent pore size throughout the entire filter. Cellulose has the advantage of being able to absorb some water from the oil it is filtering. However, cellulose filters tend to fail quicker in acidic environments and high-temperature applications. Synthetic filter media generally have a higher dirt-holding capacity than cellulose, in part due to the more consistent pore size throughout the media. Synthetic fibers are smaller than cellulose fibers, so they can be packed tightly together, creating more pores in which to trap and hold particles. Synthetic fibers also perform better in harsh environments that tend to destroy cellulose filters. In examining the technical sheets of filters, you may have seen a filter’s beta rating— this describes how efficient the filter is at removing particles. You may also have seen a value for the dirt-holding capacity. This value is obtained through a test known as ISO 16889 or the multi-pass test. In this standard test, a filter is put into a circuit that is filled with oil. The oil circulates through the filter, then a set amount of sized particles is released into the oil to test the filter’s ability to capture them. A particle counter before and after the filter measures the difference in particles. The results of this test will allow you to see how well or poorly a filter performs against different particle sizes.

Understanding Filter Efficiency and Beta Ratios | Machinery Lubrication

rmohns — 2022-07-09T13:27:44+00:00

Filter testing and filter ratings are an often misunderstood area of contamination control. On several recent occasions, I have witnessed someone describing a filter by its nominal rating. A nominal rating is an arbitrary micrometer value given to the filter by the manufacturer. These ratings have little to no value. Tests have shown that particles as large as 200 microns will pass through a nominally rated 10-micron filter. If someone tries to sell you a filter based on an "excellent" nominal rating of five microns, run away. Be sure that your fitler supplier provides clear information about filtration products that includes a beta rating, but more on that in a moment.

Tool Truck Rebrands

rmohns — 2022-05-25T03:40:27+00:00

My goal for this website is to share the tools that have been rebranded by Tool Trucks under a private label or are the industrial brand equivalent. These tools can be identical in form, fit, and function to the equivalent tool truck brand, but will vary in warranty processes, branding, and packaging. Some of these rebrands may not include any tool truck exclusive alterations. A Torque Wrench made by CDI is a good example. CDI may produce the torque wrench body, but the Snap On version of this torque wrench will have a Snap On ratcheting mechanism rather than the CDI ratcheting mechanism. However, you’ll often find that the only difference between most rebrands is the name that appears on a sticker/tool. All of these rebrands offer a significant savings over the tool truck equivalent, but it goes without saying that the warranty process will vary from each manufacturer.

A better way to activate menu items from AppleScript - Mac OS X Hints

rmohns — 2022-02-09T22:00:51+00:00

To that end, I created a helper function, which I call menu_click, which can be added to any script to allow the above code to instead be written as: tell application "Finder" to activate menu_click({"Finder", "View", "Arrange By", "Size"}) I find these two lines much clearer and easier to understand than the 19 lines of code that Apple uses for the same purpose. To be fair, even without my function, this code could be written: tell application "Finder" to activate tell application "System Events" click menu item "Size" of ((process Finder)'s (menu bar 1)'s ¬ (menu bar item "View")'s (menu "View")'s ¬ (menu item "Arrange By")'s (menu "Arrange By")) end tell I still like my version better ;). To be even fairer, Apple tries to help out with their own helper functions. These are useful, but they are overly complicated to use, because a separate function is needed for each level of menu hierarchy the script author wants to use. For instance, the do_menu handler can execute the File -> New command, but not the Edit -> Insert -> Line Break command, which requires the more complicated do_submenu handler. For more deeply nested menu options, we'd eventually need a do_subsubsubmenu handler, if we continued in Apple's footsteps. Thus, the menu_click handler was born. Just add the following code to your script, and then call menu_click with a list containing the application name, followed by the menu command. Just so we're clear, I'll repeat myself. Copy and paste the "code" section that immediately follows this sentence into your script verbatim (it can be anywhere: top or bottom makes no difference). Then anywhere in the rest of your script, you can call the helper function. Code -- `menu_click`, by Jacob Rus, September 2006 -- -- Accepts a list of form: `{"Finder", "View", "Arrange By", "Date"}` -- Execute the specified menu item. In this case, assuming the Finder -- is the active application, arranging the frontmost folder by date. on menu_click(mList) local appName, topMenu, r -- Validate our input if mList's length < 3 then error "Menu list is not long enough" -- Set these variables for clarity and brevity later on set {appName, topMenu} to (items 1 through 2 of mList) set r to (items 3 through (mList's length) of mList) -- This overly-long line calls the menu_recurse function with -- two arguments: r, and a reference to the top-level menu tell app "System Events" to my menu_click_recurse(r, ((process appName)'s ¬ (menu bar 1)'s (menu bar item topMenu)'s (menu topMenu))) end menu_click on menu_click_recurse(mList, parentObject) local f, r -- `f` = first item, `r` = rest of items set f to item 1 of mList if mList's length > 1 then set r to (items 2 through (mList's length) of mList) -- either actually click the menu item, or recurse again tell app "System Events" if mList's length is 1 then click parentObject's menu item f else my menu_click_recurse(r, (parentObject's (menu item f)'s (menu f))) end if end tell end menu_click_recurse Example: Here is a (very simple) example demonstrating the use of these functions. To get the example to work, make sure you copy both the helper functions above and the example code following into the same script. -- This example script turns on the "iTunes Visualizer" visualizer, full screen tell app "iTunes" to activate menu_click({"iTunes", "View", "Visualizer", "iTunes Visualizer"}) menu_click({"iTunes", "View", "Turn On Visualizer"}) menu_click({"iTunes", "View", "Full Screen"}) Happy menu-item selecting. Remember to turn on UI scripting before you run these scripts, or they won't work.

Gluing end-grain - Woodworking Stack Exchange

rmohns — 2021-11-21T16:15:29+00:00

The absorbency of the end grain was identified by craftsmen as the problem and sealing of the end grain prior to final glueing to fix it was theorised a long time back, possibly before the 19th century. Certainly by then there was mention in woodworking handbooks of 'sizing' the end grain (painting with thinned glue) prior to application of the full-strength adhesive to the mitre and then bringing the joint together. Done correctly this does create a far stronger union between the mitred pieces than otherwise, but even with that it is not as strong a joint as is sometimes desirable. Bear in mind the context here: the strength of other joints in woodworking is as strong as the material itself, which is quite a high standard to meet. Using modern PVA-type woodworking adhesives if you want to avoid using any kind of additional reinforcement then this is the method to adopt. In bullet points for clarity: The glue for sizing is normally slightly thinned; by how much is open to debate, but it seems likely the absorbency of the wood species should be the deciding factor. The size is painted on the end grain and left to partially dry. Application of full-strength glue and clamping. The drying time for the sizing may be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on wood species, the glue used and local conditions (temperature and relative humidity).

Each aircraft type has its own average operating expense, which varies based on flight conditions. To cover these costs, airlines must carry a certain number of passengers on each flight (Read more: Break Even Load Factor). The cost of operating a commercial aircraft can be broken down into two main categories: airborne cost and ground cost. The airborne costs are the actual costs of flying the aircraft; the ground costs are the cost of the airframe, engine maintenance, as well as airport and hangar expenses. Both are typically measured hourly and are broken down per mile. The cost per seat mile is the cost of flying one passenger one mile and is used to measure operating costs. The average cost per seat mile is around 7 to 8 cents for low cost carriers and 11 to 12 cents for network carriers. Labor and fuel are the largest expenses, accounting for about 12% of the total cost. On average, a pilot’s salary begins at $36,000 and caps around $196,000. The average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 3.035 liters (78.5 mpg) for turbo props, 3.126 liters (76.3 mpg) for regional jets, 2.405 liters (100.5 mpg) for short haul, 2.74 liters (86.8 mpg) for medium haul, and 2.959 (80.84 mpg) liters for long haul.

Applying srcset: choosing the right sizes for responsive images at different breakpoints | by Paolo Mioni | HCEverything | Medium

rmohns — 2021-04-30T22:21:21+00:00

There are several great guides online that explain how to use responsive images, both using the srcset and sizes attibutes of the tag and the more sophisticated (and sometimes overly complicated) tag. They usually explain the technical details of the two methods of implementing responsive images, and their respective benefits. But they rarely give you advice on how to actually use the tags, especially in terms of choosing the image sizes to actually insert in the tags. This article arises from a personal need: lately I have been working as lead front-end developer or lead developer on high traffic websites where images need to be optimized both for performance and for bandwidth reasons. The sites, as is usually the case lately, are full of big images, often used in full-page mode, sometimes as a background for text, but also as the predominant content on the page. Images can take 100% of the page width, but depending on the designers’ choices they can take a variable percentage of the screen, and often that percentage varies according to the current breakpoint. While applying the srcset attribute on many images on the websites I was not 100% satisfied with my choice of images sizes, which had been done relying on the few pieces of advice available on the web and by manually testing on a range (several, actually) of browsers. I decided I wanted to act on the basis of some analysis of empirical data instead of an abstract understanding of the problem.

Linear DNG

rmohns — 2021-02-07T23:04:26+00:00

What is Linear DNG? DNG has two varieties that deserve different names on this page: "Raw DNG": The familiar variety of DNG, containing the raw image data plus added-value metadata. Almost all of the products that support DNG support at least this variety. (There are exceptions). This variety of DNG will gradually become the de facto standard raw file format. "Linear DNG": A rarer variety of DNG, containing RGB image data (or not just RGB!) arranged in a rectilinear format. (Most practical examples of Linear DNG hold RGB image data, but it isn't a constraint, and 4 or more colours are allowed. For example, a Linear DNG obtained by converting the raw file from a Sony F828 has an extra channel, "Aqua", rather like Cyan). This RGB image data may have come from demosaiced raw image data, or from another source such as TIFF or JPEG or something else. (There is little difference between "demosaiced" and "never mosaiced"). Most other pages on this site focus on Raw DNG. This page focuses on Linear DNG. This variety of DNG may become an alternative to TIFF in a new set of digital image processors.

Parents and Caregivers As Sexuality Educators: Small Group Ministry | UUA.org

rmohns — 2020-11-23T22:49:27+00:00

In a small group setting, adults explore their roles as the most important sexuality educators their children will have. Ten sessions invite parents and caregivers to explore their role as the primary sexuality educators of their elementary through teen age children. The 90-minute sessions use a small group ministry format to engage adults in topics including Gender Identity, Relationships, Social Media, and Consent. This program can be run concurrently, for parents and caregivers, with an Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education program for children or youth. It can also be incorporated into an existing small group ministry/Chalice Circle series for parents. Sessions are authored by Robin Slaw, an OWL trainer and credentialed UU religious educator. The information and attitudes that adults share with their children—intentionally or by default—carry extraordinary power. It is a power that many adults struggle to wield effectively and confidently. Often, their own experiences, perspectives, and worries get in the way. These sessions invite parents and caregivers to find support and courage with one another.

Cognitive bias cheat sheet. Because thinking is hard. | by Buster Benson | Better Humans | Medium

rmohns — 2020-09-16T17:58:18+00:00

ve spent many years referencing Wikipedia’s list of cognitive biases whenever I have a hunch that a certain type of thinking is an official bias but I can’t recall the name or details. It’s been an invaluable reference for helping me identify the hidden flaws in my own thinking. Nothing else I’ve come across seems to be both as comprehensive and as succinct. However, honestly, the Wikipedia page is a bit of a tangled mess. Despite trying to absorb the information of this page many times over the years, very little of it seems to stick. I often scan it and feel like I’m not able to find the bias I’m looking for, and then quickly forget what I’ve learned. I think this has to do with how the page has organically evolved over the years. Today, it groups 175 biases into vague categories (decision-making biases, social biases, memory errors, etc) that don’t really feel mutually exclusive to me, and then lists them alphabetically within categories. There are duplicates a-plenty, and many similar biases with different names, scattered willy-nilly. I’ve taken some time over the last four weeks (I’m on paternity leave) to try to more deeply absorb and understand this list, and to try to come up with a simpler, clearer organizing structure to hang these biases off of. Reading deeply about various biases has given my brain something to chew on while I bounce little Louie to sleep. I started with the raw list of the 175 biases and added them all to a spreadsheet, then took another pass removing duplicates, and grouping similar biases (like bizarreness effect and humor effect) or complementary biases (like optimism bias and pessimism bias). The list came down to about 20 unique biased mental strategies that we use for very specific reasons. I made several different attempts to try to group these 20 or so at a higher level, and eventually landed on grouping them by the general mental problem that they were attempting to address. Every cognitive bias is there for a reason — primarily to save our brains time or energy. If you look at them by the problem they’re trying to solve, it becomes a lot easier to understand why they exist, how they’re useful, and the trade-offs (and resulting mental errors) that they introduce.

The differences between stiffness and strength in metal

rmohns — 2020-08-02T21:25:04+00:00

The terms strength and stiffness often are used interchangeably, but they have different meanings and significance. Strength Strength is a measure of the stress that can be applied to a material before it permanently deforms (yield strength) or breaks (tensile strength). If the applied stress is less than the yield strength, the material returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. If the applied stress exceeds the yield strength, plastic or permanent deformation occurs, and the material can no longer return to its original shape once the load is removed. Keep in mind that this permanent deformation is the goal in stamping. The original shape is the flat sheet metal, and formed components need to retain their shape permanently. If the chosen sheet metal cannot be formed into the desired shape under the selected processing conditions, the applied stresses are higher than the tensile strength of the sheet metal, which causes cracks to form in the part. A material’s strength is a function its chemical composition, the thermo-mechanical processing route (such as converting from a thick slab to a thin sheet), and subsequent heat treatments. These variables make it impossible to state that one material is always stronger than another. For example, many aluminum grades are stronger than steel grades, but rarely are they intended for the same application. Stiffness Stiffness relates to how a component bends under load while still returning to its original shape once the load is removed. Since the component dimensions are unchanged after load is removed, stiffness is associated with elastic deformation. At one extreme, a rubber band is an example of a material with low stiffness—it can withstand a lot of deformation and still return to its original dimensions when the load is removed. On the other hand, a high-stiffness material like diamond will elastically deform only a small amount when load is applied. Stiffness of a component is a function of both material and geometry. On the material side, stiffness depends on the modulus of elasticity, also known as Young’s Modulus and abbreviated as E. Young’s Modulus is the ratio of stress to strain at very small strains. In a stress-strain curve generated during a tensile test, the slope in the linear portion at the beginning is where the modulus is determined. Where it first deviates from linearity is the yield strength (see Figure 1). Unlike strength, which can vary from grade to grade or even coil to coil, Young’s Modulus is constant for a given metal and is independent of heat treatment, processing, or cold work. Young’s Modulus for steel (29 million PSI) is three times that of aluminum (10 million PSI). This means that for a fixed geometry, a part made out of steel will be three times as stiff as if it were made out of aluminum. In other words, an aluminum part under load will deflect three times as much as a similarly loaded steel part. The thickness and shape of the formed part also contributes to its stiffness. Stiffness is proportional to the cube of the thickness. To neutralize aluminum being one-third the stiffness of steel, an aluminum part must be made 44 percent thicker than the steel part. Even with this increased thickness, there is a potential for weight savings since aluminum is one-third the density of steel. Having more shape in the part also increases stiffness. A piece of paper is flimsy, but putting a crease down the center of it makes it more rigid. Darts, beads, and ribs are shapes that can be added to parts to restrict flexing. On surface parts visible to the consumer, they are called feature lines or character lines, highlighted for their aesthetic benefits.

Google Tag Manager vs Page Speed: Impact & How to Improve

rmohns — 2020-04-07T21:01:06+00:00

Quick summary for those who are in a hurry (TL;DR) This guide is a lengthy one. If you have time, I definitely recommend reading it from start to finish. If you only have a couple more minutes, then here’s what you should know: Even asynchronous tags impact the website’s loading speed. An empty GTM container did a minimal impact on page speed. The biggest offenders can be tags that you add to that container. But every tag is different and the impact can vary. Therefore, the final result is “It depends”. 8 tracking tags I used in some tests had a more negative impact while being hardcoded in the vs. 8 tags implemented via GTM. But that is not categorically true for every case. The later your fire tags, the less of a negative impact they can have (unless you load a bunch of Custom HTML tags in a Single Page Application. Then the impact can be felt even after the initial page load. Note: in this guide, I focused on the initial page load only.) Be careful with DOM manipulations. They require browser resources and in one of my experiments, they added 3 seconds to the Time to Interactive metric. Server-side tracking (when GTM will release that) should definitely improve the page performance. Hopefully, this feature will be released later this year. You should not measure page speed while having GTM preview and debug mode enabled (because it adds an additional load to the browser that your visitors will not experience). Remove unnecessary (or irrelevant) items in your container. This will make your work with the tag manager easier and can potentially improve page speed (although that isn’t always the case). And if you have more time, then let’s dive deeper and I’ll show you what I’ve learned.

We’ve had some questions about how neural matching differs from RankBrain. In short: RankBrain helps us better relate pages to concepts; Neural matching helps us better relate words to searches… RankBrain is an AI-based system Google began using in 2016 to understand how pages are related to concepts. It means we can better return relevant pages even if they don’t contain the exact words used in a search, by understanding the page is related to other words & concepts... Neural matching is an AI-based system Google began using in 2018 primarily to understand how words are related to concepts. It's like a super-synonym system. Synonyms are words that are closely related to other words... For example, neural matching helps us understand that a search for "why does my TV look strange" is related to the concept of "the soap opera effect." We can then return pages about the soap opera effect, even if the exact words aren't used... In summary: -- RankBrain helps Google better relate pages to concepts -- Neural matching helps Google better relate words to searches. And there's nothing special searchers or webmasters need to do. These are part of our core systems designed to naturally increase understanding.

When I asked Google if it was based on Word2vec, the Google spokesperson said “It’s related to word2vec in that it uses ’embeddings’ — looking at phrases in high-dimensional space to learn how they’re related to one another.” Converting Words and Phrases Into Vectors From a technical aspect, RankBrain is converting words and phrases into vectors, which can then be used for deep learning. Hinton gave a keynote lecture on deep learning at The Royal Society that talks about these connections. The implications of this for document processing are very important. If we can convert a sentence into a vector that captures the meaning of the sentence, then Google can do much better searches. They can search based on what is being said in a document. Also, if you can convert each sentence in a document into a vector, you can then take that sequence of vectors and try and model why you get this vector after you get these vectors. That’s called reasoning, that’s natural reasoning, and that was kind of the core of good old fashioned AI and something they could never do because natural reasoning is a complicated business, and logic isn’t a very good model of it. Here we can say, well, look, if we can read every English document on the web, and turn each sentence into a thought vector, we’ve got plenty of data for training a system that can reason like people do. Now, you might not want to reason like people do on the web, but at least we can see what they would think. So I think what is going to happen over the next few years is this ability to turn these sentences into thought vectors is going to rapidly change the level that we can understand documents.

October 22, 2013 Last time, we discussed how in-vehicle networks work over CAN. Now we’ll look into the protocol and how it’s used in the automotive industry. THE BUS On the hardware side, there’s two types of CAN: differential (or high-speed) and single wire. Differential uses two wires and can operate up to 1 Mbps. Single wire runs on a single wire, and at lower speeds, but is cheaper to implement. Differential is used in more critical applications, such as engine control, and single wire is used for less important things, such as HVAC and window control. Many controllers can connect to the same bus in a multi-master configuration. All messages are broadcast to every controller on the bus.

Working with APFS Volume Groups | Carbon Copy Cloner | Bombich Software

rmohns — 2019-08-22T17:12:22+00:00

When Apple introduced the APFS filesystem several years ago, it came with a new concept: the APFS container. All APFS volumes reside within a container, and the container resides within the disk's partitioning scheme. All volumes within a container share the space that is available to the container; separate APFS containers do not share space with each other. In macOS High Sierra, Apple added the concept of roles to volumes. At the time there were only three roles, and these went largely unnoticed by the average user: Preboot, Recovery, and VM (virtual memory). These roles allow the system to identify specific volumes for specific purposes, and then treat the volumes in specific ways (for example, any volume with the above roles would be hidden by default and also not mounted by default).

In this guide, I’ll show you what solution did I choose and how I implemented GDPR cookie consent notification on analyticsmania.com + you’ll get a GTM Recipe. … In a nutshell: According to GDPR, firing all tracking codes right after a visitor landed on your page is not permitted anymore (since May 25th, 2018). You should first ask for a permission to track and only then fire your marketing tags. In this blog post, I’ve explained how to implement a GDRP cookie notification consent with Google Tag Manager and how to update your current marketing tags accordingly. Cookie consent notification is just a tool for getting a consent, it’s not capable of managing your tracking tags because every website and every GTM container is unique, therefore there is no universal solution. As a result, you will have to manually update all your tracking tags with additional firing rules. OneTrust GDPR cookie consent notification solution was a tool of my choice (you saw it on this blog, already) and in this guide, I’ve explained how to configure it. It has its pros and cons but with some experience, you can do pretty flexible implementations. Obviously, new users will have no previous knowledge, that’s why my guide should be useful to them as I share my blunders and ways to avoid them. Plus, my GDPR Cookie Consent GTM Recipe should save you lots of time.

"Biscotti" firmware for Convoy brand lights =========================================== This is designed for the Nanjg 105D drivers used in Convoy lights. The interface is as follows: While off: - Fully click and release to turn the light on. It will go to the first mode or the last-used mode, depending on whether you enabled mode memory. While on: - Short tap: Do a short (less than 0.5s) half-press to go forward to the next mode. - Long tap: Do a long (longer than 0.5s) half-press to reset to the first mode (if mode memory is turned off). - Or fully click and release to turn the light off. - Short tap a bunch of times (10+ taps, or until the light stops turning on) to enter config mode. Blinky modes: - Some mode groups have blinky modes. They are not hidden, but if you leave mode memory off you can skip them with a long press. Blinky modes include: - Tactical police strobe (~8/16 Hz) - Biking flasher (2-level stutter beacon, 1 Hz) - Battery check / beacon mode Each blink represents about 25% battery charge, so 1 is a low battery and 4 blinks is full. 5 blinks means it's over-charged. - SOS Configuration options: The config mode has several options. It will blink out a number to show which option is active, then "buzz" or "stutter" for a bit. Click during the "buzz" to select that option. Options include: 1. Mode group. After clicking, the light should come on in a special group-select mode. In this mode, it slowly blinks out numbers from 1 to N, where N is the number of mode groups, then repeats. Turn the light off after N blinks to select mode group N. BTW, do not leave the light in this mode for long periods of time, because it will wear out the driver's memory faster. The mode groups are: (output is approximate) 1. 0.1%, 1, 10, 35, 100, strobe, biking, battcheck 2. 0.1, 1, 10, 35, 100 3. 100, 35, 10, 1, 0.1 4. 1, 20, 100, strobe, biking, battcheck, SOS 5. 1, 20, 100 6. 100, 20, 1 7. 0.1, 1, 10, 50, strobe, biking, battcheck, SOS 8. 0.1, 1, 10, 50 9. 50, 10, 1, 0.1 10. 1, 10, 35, 100 11. 100, 20, strobe 12. 100% only Example: To select group 5 (low-med-high), let it blink until it counts out five, then click the button. 2. Mode memory. Off or on.
