When we zoom out we see that he sitting at the desk at his job () and is „writing a love letter“ for one of his clients. In the opening scene, we see a closeup of Theodore, who seems to be talking to a loved one, speaking of his love for this person. The human-machine touch points are beautifully solved, gentle and nearly poetic. This is very different from the semi-transparent glow fests that occupy entire rooms in other movies of this genre (yes, I was thinking of Avatar). This is not only because of the absence of typical fantastic Sci-Fi story elements such as aliens or time travel but also because the technology shown is nearly invisible, somewhere in the background, reacting to human needs in just the right moments. Therefore we can relate to the given reality more than to the worlds of other movies in which society has come this far technologically speaking. One of the amazing accomplishments of the movie is that it manages to show us a „near future“ with highly developed technology well integrated into everyday life. Nostalgic near future technology Look Ma! No hands!

![]() It’ll be interesting to see how they developed it in the 11 years since when the album drops later this month. It cost the duo and Sony, at a conservative estimate. Daft Punk continue to parcel out crumbs of information about the French house duo’s May 21 album Random Access Memories, but one clear theme so far is that the album will draw on older sounds. Sleuthing and speculation aside, the (questionable) demo sounds like what it says it is: a prototype Daft Punk song slipped in a DJ mix at some club in Amsterdam circa 2002. Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories was recorded over the span of five years and in three cities. In their interview with Rolling Stone, Daft Punk revealed that “R.A.M.” will only feature one sample: a cut from an Australian rock record in the opening of the final track. Moreover, unconfirmed tracklists list him as a collaborator for the final song.Īnother quasi-clue comes in the demo’s sample of “We Ride Tonight,” a track by Australian band the Sherbs. Daft Punk’s new album, Random Access Memories, finds them leaving behind the highly influential, riff-heavy EDM they originated to luxuriate in the sounds, styles, and production. First, we know from the album’s trailer that DJ Falcon has an album credit. And though we can’t confirm the rumor, there are signs of legitimacy here.

Arrive at the site with your wagonful of supplies. Dwarf Fortress calculates a lot of stuff, and is a notorious processor hog. Select an initial load of supplies and equipment. The only reason to limit (or expand) the size of your embark site is due to computational limitations. I've gone back and forth with full/partial edge oceans, but it doesn't really seem to increase the total amount of water that much - I just end up with less lakes/inner oceans when I do so. Embark is the time at the very beginning of Fortress mode before actual gameplay begins (but after generating a world ), when you and your initial 7 dwarves : Choose a site. I've also pumped up a few of the river related variables (afraid I don't remember which). This Dwarf Fortress beginner’s guide will help you start your way up that cliff. So far I'm mostly increasing the erosion cycle count, with the hopes of causing big islands to dissolve into small ones during world gen. Frame rates creep ever downwards as you add dwarves, more mined stones, a larger creature list of dead enemies, and more fortress to path through. Therefor, you have a chance to change it for alternatives. The only reason to limit (or expand) the size of your embark site is due to computational limitations. Thats because some of the materials are not with you at the moment of your arrival. There you will notice you have points to spend. I'm thinking it might not be all that bad, given that I won't have invasions and goblinite bringing down my FPS, not to mention lack of migrants.īut I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for world gens that might increase the number of small islands and give a better shot at a smaller embark. The next screen will be the same screen you get when you make your very own custom profile. Assuming Dwarf Fortress is the same, this results in each Region tile covering an area 3,840 feet on a side: 14,745,600 square feet, or about half a square mile (0.5289). My FPS are staying at roughly 50 (50), sometimes it will dip a little but then sometimes its at 80 (60). So far I've managed one world with an island that fits into a 15X15 embark. Most wargame and roleplaying games that use Human-size figures on a grid assume each square represents five feet on a side. First is completely explored, second is mostly explored. I read a thread recently about someone embarking on an island, which sounded pretty neat, so I set off myself with the idea of trying to generate a world with an island on it small enough to fit the entire embark site on (IE visible water on all 4 sides of the embark).

Nice work, John. “It’s not as bad as I thought,” he says, “especially since to get Mini vMac to run at full screen I had to adjust the boot config file to get it to output at 512×384, which is then being shoved onto a screen with a resolution of 320×200.”Īnother video gives more details of the design and shows the Mini Mac in action (there’s no sound, apparently the audio output of Mini vMac on the Raspberry Pi is a bit glitchy): Leake was worried the tiny screen would be completely unreadable, but things turned out OK. On top of this is the Mini vMac emulator running System Software 6.0.8. On the software side, the Raspberry Pi is running Rasbian, a modified version on Debian Linux.

I'll probably close the question soon unless asked otherwise.My family’s first computer was an AST desktop with an Intel 486SX 25Mhz processor and 4MB of RAM that my parents purchased when I was in grade school. I have no strong incentive to try and debug this any more by myself, since I don't see it as a big problem anyway. Needless to repeat, the problem as I see it is with 99% certainty an artifact of running in VMware - doesn't occur in the physical machine, which is the same windows configuration since I use a raw VMDK. The display is garbage, clearly in text mode however. Is the vmss format "open" or needs a NDA of sorts ?). Interruptible in principle (look at eflags) but in practice does not answer the keyboard or mouse (I have not looked at the PIC masks in the vmss. It does not crash even when left for a long time, must be caught in a loop. Turns out the VM was executing code in protected mode in the Windows system zone (over C0000000) and, strange enough to note, at IOPL 1 (eflags=00001282). I did a very very crude debug, by suspending the VM while it was hung & looking at the register images inside the vmss file. Are we on the same wave length here ?Īnyway to answer your concern, yes I have the freezing problem even with zero config and autoexec. ![]() They are not "used" however in the sense that they would be executed or interpreted anew (indeed if you changed their contents from inside the Windows session, the new contents would not be effective till the next rebooting of the VM). We are back in DOS, where Config.sys and Autoexec.bat are "used" in the sense that any drivers or TSRs or system settings, buffers, stacks etc, that they initiated are active. I assume you understand that "boot to command prompt" is a misleading phrase, it is not a boot or reboot at all, rather it is windows /terminating/ itself and yielding back to win.com (win.com in turns spawns a ). but config.sys and autoexec.bat are used when you boot to command prompt.Ĭan't say true or false, depending on what you mean by "(the files) are used". ![]() It would still be interesting to know if others with different hardware specs observe the same condition in Win 9x based VMs (I no longer have several alternate machines at my disposal that I could check.)Įdit to keep up with KYordy in real time : you're being confused, I think : autoexec.dos/config.dos are bookkeeping win 9x uses in case you double boot with your "old" MS-DOS. Frankly I have no time to engage in deep debugging of either Windows and/or Player now. Come to think of it, I could do is suspend the hung VM in Player and then examine the register images to locate the point where it locks up. You'll understand the remarks about config.sys/autoexec.bat were irrelevant, for those files (if they exist) are never reexecuted in the process I have outlined =)īut this does not tell us why and where the VM locks up in the process of returning to DOS. Win.com in turn, depending on exit code returned by Windows through VMM32, will either spawn a DOS shell ( is default of course) or, after executing wininit.exe still in real mode, reload the VMM32.vxd which is the true Windows launcher. Liz, what you're thinking of is another kind of MS-DOS mode (in which an DOS app has an associated PIF \*and specifies own config & autoexec* : in that case, Windows does shutdown reset to the BIOS).īut in the shutting modes I'm considering in this thread, restart in MS-DOS mode from the start menu as well as 'restarting' Windows while holding the "shift" key pressed, what happens is Windows cleans after itself, back to VMM32 which unloads its EMM memory manager & puts the computer back in real mode, before returning to its own caller : Win.com Liz, KYordy : I'd hate to start an off-topic, suffice it to say that I know quite well how Win 9x is started and ended, having 'debugged' and traced Win.com and the start part of VMM32.vxd in depth, in the past =) ![]() ![]() ![]() He and his late wife, Becky, are the parents of two grown children – Christopher and Laura.

The str() function takes an object (since everything in Python is an object) as an input parameter and returns a string variant of that object. You can easily convert a Python dictionary to a string using the str() function. Given below are a few methods to convert dict to string in Python. How to iterate through a list of dictionaries Ask Question Asked 7 years, 4 months ago Modified 11 months ago Viewed 224k times 47 My code is index 0 for key in dataList index: print (dataList index key) Seems to work fine for printing the values of dictionary keys for index 0. 3 Ways to Convert Dict to String in Python Lists, on the other hand, do not support hashing because their values can change. The image gives you a better idea of indexing after conversion of the dictionary in string. Tuples and strings have a hash value that is based on their contents. Have a look at the image below to get a clear understanding: Change Dictionary Values in Python Using the dict.update () Method In this method, we pass the new key-value pairs to the update () method of the dictionary object. ![]() An iterable is mutable if you can change which elements it contains. for d in mydicts: d.update ( (k, 'value3') for k, v in d.iteritems () if v 'value2') for d in mydicts: d.update ( (k, 'value3') for k, v in d.items () if v 'value2') Python3. Hence, after this conversion, the opening bracket marks the beginning of the string and hence, is assigned an index = 0. dict: an unordered, mutable collection of key-value pairs. I did not do any timings, but you probably cant get much better than. It returns the value associated with the input key. When converting dict into strings in Python, the dictionary's curly brackets are also converted to be a part of the strings. pop() takes a key as an input and deletes the corresponding item/element from the Python dictionary. Now, you must be wondering why did it give '1' at string? This is because of "indexing". This confirms the conversion of dict to string in Python. Note the difference between the output when we try to access the value using keys. (This doesn't matter for Python 3 since items() basically does what iteritems() did in Python 2. What is a Dictionary in Python?Ī dictionary is a mutable data type in Python, that stores data in the form of key-value pairs.ĭictionary = type In Python 2, if iterating over a large dictionary, use iteritems() instead of items() so that the entire dictionary contents aren't loaded into memory. In this article, we'll look at methods for converting a dictionary to a string in Python. As a result, dictionaries must be converted into strings and vice versa. If you want to store a dictionary's data in a file or database, a string is a more convenient format for storage.įurthermore, if you're familiar with JSON files, you must be aware that text is one of the permitted forms for storing data in JSON. Its key-value format makes it easier to map data. While programming, you will come across the problem of converting one data type to another.ĭictionary is a convenient format to store and map data. Python offers a variety of data types for storing values in various formats, including strings, dictionaries, lists, and more. |
