![]() When you plan on making a screen pack for the Mugen 1.0 and 1.1 be sure to include the others if you can and I know it's just a choice and an option of what you can do in the future plans of making your own screen pack but you had really need to consider that not everyone have a decent computer these days and I can prove that to you many people just can't handle the capacity. It's kind of sad that they don't have the limitation very low spec Computer to even run your screen pack also there are a lot of people who rely on Direct mode because their computer can't support opengl 2.0 I also learned this as well so every time I create a screen pack I make sure there's one version for DirectX mode that supports 480p for mugen 1.0 and HD version that support OpenGL 2.0 WHEN I create my screen pack that supports opengl 2.0 for the Mugen 1.1 As me being screen pack creator over eight years of experience I learned that not everyone in the world have a gaming PC or a decent PC. I understand it's based on your computer specs and how much time you put into it when making this wonderful masterpiece however you should make another one as 480p low spec for the people who don't have a gaming PC or can't handle your screen pack. Sharing opinion in the matter how I feel about the screen pack for other to use. The good things for your screen pack and I love how you created your screen pack World perfectly well designed with original and custom made for your taste and I love the design with pure intentions I mean this is the perfect screen pack for those who have a good decent computer to run it with and taking the time to dealing with the template that you provide.

That’s simply not available in Todoist without diving in to the custom filters and creating a filter for each context you want to evaluate. One big feature from Nozbe that I really liked is the ability to get into the ‘Today’ view and then be able to filter by contexts. I ended up going with Todoist mostly because I felt more comfortable with the way it allows you to nest projects. Nozbe and Todoist both sync well and are available on pretty much any platform you use, and the web app is awesome with great keyboard support.

Researchers today are increasingly making use of computers for qualitative data analysis software (QDAS), especially with digital media files. ![]() ![]() Now let's see how you can access the content of a file through a file object. False otherwise.įor example: f = open("data/names.txt", "a") This is basically telling us that a file object is an object that lets us work and interact with existing files in our Python program. File ObjectsĪccording to the Python Documentation, a file object is: An object exposing a file-oriented API (with methods such as read() or write()) to an underlying resource. I know you might be asking: what type of value is returned by open()? For example: names_file = open("data/names.txt", "r") We are simply assigning the value returned to a variable. Now that you know more about the arguments that the open() function takes, let's see how you can open a file and store it in a variable to use it in your program. For example, if you only need to read the content of a file, it can be dangerous to allow your program to modify it unexpectedly, which could potentially introduce bugs. Think about it - allowing a program to do more than necessary can problematic. It really makes sense for Python to grant only certain permissions based what you are planning to do with the file, right? Why should Python allow your program to do more than necessary? This is basically why modes exist. □ Tip: The default modes are read ( "r") and text ( "t"), which means "open for reading text" ( "rt"), so you don't need to specify them in open() if you want to use them because they are assigned by default. For example: "wb" means writing in binary mode. To use text or binary mode, you would need to add these characters to the main mode. That single character basically tells Python what you are planning to do with the file in your program. The second parameter of the open() function is the mode, a string with one character. txt that follow the dot in names.txt is the "extension" of the file, or its type. Notice that we are writing data/ first (the name of the folder followed by a /) and then names.txt (the name of the file with the extension). In this example, this would be the path: open("data/names.txt") Then we need to use a specific path to tell the function that the file is within another folder. ![]() This can be used when the file that you are trying to open is in the same directory or folder as the Python script, like this:īut if the file is within a nested folder, like this: The names.txt file is in the "data" folder We usually use a relative path, which indicates where the file is located relative to the location of the script (Python file) that is calling the open() function.įor example, the path in this function call: open("names.txt") # The relative path is "names.txt" The first parameter of the open() function is file, the absolute or relative path to the file that you are trying to work with. To learn more about them, please read this article in the documentation. There are six additional optional arguments. □ Tip: These are the two most commonly used arguments to call this function. One of the most important functions that you will need to use as you work with files in Python is open(), a built-in function that opens a file and allows your program to use it and work with it. Let's begin! ✨ □ Working with Files: Basic Syntax How to handle exceptions that could be raised when you work with files.How to work with context managers and why they are useful.How to open files for multiple operations.Working with files is an important skill that every Python developer should learn, so let's get started. Hi! If you want to learn how to work with files in Python, then this article is for you. ![]() Existing data (including applications and "private" data folders) are migrated to the external storage, and normal operation of the device becomes dependent on the presence of the media. When designated as "Internal" storage, the storage media is reformatted with an encrypted ext4 file system, and is "adopted" by the operating system as an extension of the primary storage partition. The Storage Access Framework, through which shared writing access to memory cards has been reinstated in Android 5.0 Lollipop, is backwards-incompatible and slower due to latencies. This restriction was introduced in Android 4.4 KitKat. "Portable" storage is the default behavior used in previous Android versions, treating the media as a secondary storage device for storage of user files, and the storage media can be removed or replaced without repercussions, but user-installed apps are restricted to writing to their respective package name directories located inside Android/data. The new "Adoptable storage" feature allows a newly-inserted SD card or other secondary storage media to be optionally designated as "internal" rather than "portable" storage. "Direct Share" allows Share menus to display recently used combinations of contacts and an associated app as direct targets. While the "Home" button was used in Android 5 to show available apps, the "Home" button is used now (together with a voice command) to generate on-screen cards which display information, suggestions, and actions related to the content. This system is used by the Google Search app feature "Google Now on Tap", which allows users to perform searches within the context of information currently being displayed on-screen. System features User experienceĪ new "Assist" API allows information from a currently opened app, including text and a screenshot of the current screen, to be sent to a designated "assistant" application for analysis and processing. Īndroid 6.0.1, a software patch featuring security fixes, support for Unicode 8.0 emoji (although without supporting skin tone extensions for human emoji), and the return of the "until next alarm" feature in Do Not Disturb mode, was released on December 7, 2015. On October 14, 2015, LG announced that it planned to release Marshmallow for its flagship LG G4 smartphone in Poland the following week, marking the first third-party device to receive an update to Marshmallow. Older Nexus devices, including the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 10, did not receive an official update. Īndroid 6.0 updates and factory images for Nexus 5, 6, 7 (2013), 9, and Player were released on October 5, 2015. On September 29, 2015, Google unveiled launch devices for Marshmallow: the LG-produced Nexus 5X, the Huawei-produced Nexus 6P, alongside Google's own Pixel C tablet. The second developer preview was released on July 9, 2015, and the third and final preview was released on August 17, 2015, along with announcing that Android M would be titled Android "Marshmallow". The first developer preview build for Marshmallow, codenamed Android "M", was unveiled and released at Google I/O on May 28, 2015, for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 smartphones, the Nexus 9 tablet, and the Nexus Player set-top box.

The drastic decrease in population also meant there was also an oversupply of goods, and so the price of consumables dropped. In order to address the shortage of labour, many nobles started offering better working conditions and higher wages, and peasants could – for the first time – negotiate their conditions and be paid more fairly for the work they did.įurthermore, because of the severe shortage of labour, taxes went down and wages went up. This prompted new ideas about equality and a new found self-respect. The Black Death had tested their faith in the feudal system: God had struck down people of all classes with the pestilence. However not all was lost for the peasants who survived. Some villages never recovered, and with no workers to plough and gather in the harvest, they fell into disrepair and disappeared. The huge loss of life after the Black Death altered this. Peasants had to ask the permission of their lord to leave the village, to ground their corn in the lord’s mill or even for their daughters to marry. They were effectively slaves, and were treated as such. The peasants however were tied to the land, forced to work in order to pay their lord for their land through their servitude. The feudal system served the needs of the rich perfectly. The reward of land to the richer nobles also assured their loyalty. By sharing out land to his barons who in turn passed it on to their knights and peasants, William made sure that he was paid taxes and provided with an army bound to serve him each year. What he needed however was money, food and a standing army. The feudal system, created after the Conquest in 1066 by William I as a method of consolidating his power, had resulted in the subordination of the peasants and the solidification of the position of the nobility in England.Īt the head of the system, the king owned vast amounts of land. It is estimated that London’s population reduced from 100,000 to 20,000 in a single generation. In total 30-40% of the English population perished and in some villages, the death toll reached 80-90%. As the disease developed into another strain called pneumatic plague and became airborne, the survival rate evaporated: now 100% of those contracting the pneumatic plague died. These black markings gave the disease its dramatic name.Īt the time, it was thought that should the buboes burst on the fourth day, you may have a slim chance of survival, but historians now believe that 70% of victims died within five days. Black bruising under the skin and black pus filled buboes (large swellings) developed in the groin or under the arms. ![]() What they did care about was that when the disease, carried in the bowels of trading ships from Europe, made port at Dorset in 1348, it ripped through England with terrifying ferocity.Įarly symptoms of the disease included sweats and vomiting, but this soon gave way to uncontrollable spasms as the body lost its ability to control muscle function. Whatever the truth, the average peasant cared not. ![]() Some put forward the theory that the Black Death was a punishment from God for man’s failure to meet biblical expectations. Some suggested it started with the Jews polluting drinking water in the growing cities of Europe. Some people proposed that the germs of this virulent disease hovered above pools of stagnant water in the swampy marshlands of Asia. There were many theories at the time as to the origins of the Black Death. So was the Black Death really such a disaster? Taxes went down, wages went up and they felt significant for the first time in history. But for those peasants who survived, there was a new positivity about life. The feudal system – brought into existence nearly 300 years earlier under William I – was damaged, and the unquestioned belief in the supremacy of the Catholic Church was destroyed. One third of the English population was wiped out. The brutality of the Black Death was matched only by the speed of its rampage across medieval Europe. Was the Black Death really such a disaster? |
