![]() Event streamsĮvent streams are based on the log data type, which is extremely efficient at seeking through its history and appending new items to its end. Redis Lists and Sorted Sets are the two data types that implement this type of behavior and both can be used to build bespoke solutions, as well as backends for ecosystem-specific frameworks such as Celery (Python), Bull (JavaScript), Sidekiq (Ruby), Machinery (Go), and many others. Then you can use the Python client library to add tasks to the queue and create worker processes to execute them. To use task queues you will need to set up a Redis server and install the Redis Python library. Processing large amounts of data, such as data import or export.Executing periodic tasks, such as sending emails or performing backups.Offloading long-running tasks from a web server to improve performance and scalability.Redis task queues are useful in a variety of situations, such as: If a worker is unable to complete a task they can “bury” the task, which moves it to a separate queue for later processing. Workers can then use the “pop” operation to retrieve and execute tasks from the queue. In task queues tasks are added to a queue using the “push” operation. This allows you to parallelize the execution of tasks which can make your application more efficient and responsive. It works by adding tasks to a queue and having worker processes pick tasks off the queue and execute them. Stream events are immutable and the history, when trimmed, is often saved in cold storage.Ī task queue is a way to distribute work across threads or machines. Messages contain mutable state (e.g., number of retries) and, when successfully processed, they are deleted from the system.There are two main differences between message queues and event streams: Message queues use a “push” type of communication-a service pushes a new message to another service’s inbox whenever something new needs attention. Message queues are based on mutable lists and are sometimes consumed through tools that help implement common patterns.The two main paradigms for this type of asynchronous communication are event streams and message queues. ![]() To mitigate this problem, a best practice is to limit the amount of synchronous communication between services (i.e., directly calling the service’s APIs, for example by sending a HTTP(S) request) and instead prefer persisted channels whenever practical, so that services can then consume messages at their convenience. For applications at scale, it’s not a matter of “if” or “when” a service becomes unavailable, but how often. Failures happen and independent deployments might make a service unavailable for periods of time. When one service wants to communicate with another service, it can’t always do so immediately. Communication between services must be reliable You can also model more complex communication policies by using blocks from the SimEvents® library, which requires a SimEvents® license.Challenges in building message broker solutions 1. The Blocked action is called after a message is blocked.įor more information, see Connect Message Receive Interface with Simulink Functions. For instance, the Entry and the Exit actions are called just after the message entry and just before message exit. Use Event actions to specify the behavior of the message in certain events. For more information, see Events and Event Actions (SimEvents). Event actions are not supported for code generation. You can also use Event actions, when the Overwrite the oldest element if queue is full check box is cleared.

This is the stepper motor and drive used in this kit and it is a Unipolar Stepper. We live in a wondrous age: a few years ago a stepper motor and driver board would have set you back $20-$60 USD due to the miracle of mass-production these can be picked up on E-Bay for around $3 each. However, with the small 5V stepper motor used in this project, we will be able to get away with supplying the motor current from the Arduino as well as the logic signals. The Arduino would then provide the logic and the driver board the “umph!”. ![]() We would use an Arduino to supply the control signals to a driver board that would have a separate motor power supply input. Large stepper motors, like those used in our 3D printers, draw a few amps of current through their windings so an Arduino alone could not run them. ![]() It can even be set to brake (no movement). The Bipolar motor has a simpler coil design but much more complex electronics because the pairs of coils must reverse polarity in sequence to achieve rotation.ĭepending on how the windings of a stepper motor are driven, it can take either half or full steps. ![]() Unipolar has a center-tapped pair of coils that is generally connected to the positive supply (thus, one pole) while the ends of the coils are grounded in sequence to move a armature relative to a hub with North/South alternating magnetized spots. There are 2 main types: Unipolar and Bipolar. A stepper motor can also be called a ‘digital motor’ in that a precise sequence of bytes can move the shaft to a predictable and repeatable position (if a home position sensor has been employed). ![]() ![]() Stay tuned here to the official World of Warcraft news site as we journey through the week together.

![]() Instead of waiting for the end of an accounting period to perform planning tasks, you can prepare for the next season in advance thanks to accurate insight into stock levels.Īlthough no system is perfect, inventory management software, combined with a perpetual inventory accounting system, can provide you with more accurate recordkeeping. But business owners benefit from closely keeping track of inventory in other ways, too. Three ways to save time with a perpetual inventory systemīy now, it’s probably pretty clear how much time you can save when you have access to real-time inventory information. If a defective or faulty item is discovered, it’s easy to see how much of that product you have on hand so you can ensure it’s properly removed from your stock and safely disposed of. With a perpetual inventory system, you can track items individually. Understand and track defective inventory. Instead of waiting until a manual count is performed, as with a periodic inventory management system, you can gain this insight immediately. Gain a faster understanding of ending inventory.Įnding inventory, the final value of goods still for sale at the end of an accounting period, is a crucial metric for your business’s financial health. Instead of frequent manual counting, employees can devote their time to higher-value activities. When you have real-time insight into key metrics like the cost of goods sold (COGS), you can make decisions that positively impact your company's financial health. When you gain real-time insight into how much inventory you have on hand, you’re better prepared to have precisely the safety stock you need by triggering a reorder point, lowering the amount required to be kept on hand. Perpetual inventory counting systems have tried to address these challenges by using technology to help companies gain better insight into sales transactions and inventory on hand.Ĭompanies that invest in perpetual inventory systems can benefit in a few ways, including:Īs the retail landscape becomes more competitive due to online shopping, customers are increasingly frustrated to find bare shelves (or an out-of-stock page). In the meantime, you’re forced to estimate the cost of products sold, which could lead to a big adjustment if you’re way off. The inventory balance only gets adjusted once the manual physical counts are completed. In a periodic inventory system, you don’t have much insight into your inventory balance throughout the accounting period. ![]() After all, even the most detail-oriented employee can miscount or may not count inventory that isn’t in the expected spot. Additionally, periodic inventory is more prone to human error. It might work well for small businesses with a low number of SKUs and a small number of products, but it’s too much manual labour for a larger organisation. Since physically counting every object in your inventory is extremely time-consuming (and costly when you factor in the necessary labour), most businesses conduct only one every year. Periodic inventory is an inventory valuation method where a company performs a physical inventory count at the end of an accounting period, typically by scanning barcodes. ![]() Handheld brush cutters efficiently take down heavy weeds and thick brush areas that are not accessible by a mower. If you care for a large suburban or rural property, a handheld brush cutter might be right for you. These are not common and are best for grinding up weeds, leaves, and branches. Mulching blades look like knife blades, however, the blade tips bend at a nearly 90-degree angle.These are not suitable for heavy, woody material, but work quite well on tall weedy grass. Smasher blades, also called flails, use thin edges and high velocity to smash through vegetation.They work very well on heavier brush and small saplings but require larger engines, around 30cc and bigger, to work efficiently. These include the circular saw and chainsaw types. Chisel knives are smaller and more aggressive than knife blades.Choose knife blades, either a disc knife or tri-knife, for general purpose brush cutting. They use a sharpened front edge to slice through weeds. There are four basic types of brush cutter heads: ![]() It takes 5 minutes or less with simple hand tools to remove the trimmer line spool and replace it with a brush-cutting head. The adapter is unique for each brand of trimmer, but nearly all brands offer one. ![]() String trimmer and brush cutter attachments are just two of many attachments that powerheads can operate.Ĭonverting a fixed string trimmer into a brush cutter requires an adapter. These machines have a short drive shaft and a quick-connection system for easily switching from tool to tool in a matter of seconds. The simplest is to use a powerhead with changeable attachments. There are two ways to convert from a string trimmer head to a rigid brush cutting head. For example, use them to cut brush for a few hours, once a month. Most string trimmers have motors between 20 and 30cc, which is not suitable for daily use as a brush cutter, but adequate for occasional heavy use. Instead of buying a new machine, you can simply convert a string trimmer into a brush cutter. Read on to learn more about the different kinds of brush cutters and how they work. An undersized machine wastes time, while an oversized machine wastes money and space. However, it is equally important to choose the right type of brush cutter for a property. Of course, it’s wise to buy quality tools for many years of dependable use. Types of Brush Cuttersīuying a new machine is a long-term investment no one should take lightly. But if the weeds are extra heavy, the area is large, and the chore occurs frequently, it makes sense to invest in a dedicated brush cutter. A good solution could be to purchase a brush-cutter head for an existing string trimmer. High-quality string trimmers can knock down patches of dense weeds on occasion, and they see regular use grooming the yard every week or so. Depending on how heavy the brush needing cutting is, plenty of attachments and adapters can help you do the job with other tools in your shed. Handheld brush cutters are heavier, more powerful, and cost two to three times more than an average weedwacker or cordless string trimmer.

![]() This friendliness towards developers of mods and total conversions was common in the Doom and Quake series of games. Combined with the ability to create own game assets (maps, models, textures), it made it possible to make almost entirely new games, with a distinct look and gameplay. This allowed anyone to create and distribute so called mods, modifications to the game’s rules. But a long time before the full source code was made available, almost immediately after the game’s release, the source code for just the game part was released publicly, no paid license necessary. Games like American McGee’s Alice and Return to Castle Wolfenstein were developed under such an agreement. Before that only companies that licensed the engine from id Software could get their hands on both the engine and the game part. The entire source code for Quake III Arena was released under the terms of GNU GPL in 2005. This divide is very interesting for more than one reason. Both the engine and the code parts are run on the server as well as on the client. ![]() The engine part contains the operating system specific code (graphics, sound, input, network), the renderer, the bot library, and some other things like the specifics of the on-the-wire network protocol. It defines how different objects in the game interact with one another: things like what happens when a rocket hits a player or what happens when a player’s health drops below zero. The game part contains the rules of the game. Quake 3’s code is divided into two main parts: the engine part and the game part. The mechanism, called client prediction and first introduced in QuakeWorld in 1996, is one of the reasons a fast-paced multiplayer game like Quake III Arena could comfortably be played over high-latency dial-up modem connections that were popular at the time of the game’s release.Īs a special case, when the game is played in single-player mode (against bots), the client and the server are running on the same machine, in the same process, but the principles of operation remain the same. In order to mitigate the effects of network latency, parts of the simulation pertaining to the local player’s movements are also performed client-side. Even though the server is the authority on what happens in the game, the client is not a “dumb” one. The server, located on the local network or somewhere on the Internet, runs the simulation and sends the state of the world to the client, where it is rendered for the player to see. The client, running on the player’s machine, is responsible for sampling input (keyboard, mouse) from the player and sending it to the server. Quake 3 works in a client-server model: all the players participating in a match are connected to the same server. In addition to helping with understanding the protocol, the proxy might also be useful for experimentation, as it provides the ability to simulate network latency and packet loss. A from-scratch implementation of the protocol is released as a companion to this text: a proxy that parses all the messages exchanged between the server and the client, optionally rewriting some of the packets to provide a proof-of-concept aimbot functionality. Companion softwareĮven though we try to provide enough information to implement the network protocol, sometimes code is easier to understand than a natural language description of what it does. Along the way we describe some elegant features of the engine, like the event system and the separation of the engine code from the game logic using virtual machines. We go over the network component of the game’s engine, from the general principles of operation down to the actual bits of the on-the-wire protocol. The game’s source code was released under the terms of GNU General Public License in August 2005. Quake III Arena is a networked multiplayer first-person shooter developed by id Software and released in December 1999. ![]() While it is good practice to test your speed with alternate speed testing sites, please be aware the results may vary based on location.Speed test sites use different server locations, it is recommended to use the nearest server to you.Why do other speed test sites give me different results?

Merit Medical’s acquired dialysis catheter portfolio includes the BioFlo DuraMax Dialysis Catheter with Endexo Technology, a proprietary material more resistant to thrombus (blood clot) accumulation, in vitro, unlike conventional non-coated dialysis catheters. These latest buyouts are a significant stepping stone for Merit Medical toward solidifying its foothold in the global dialysis space. Management believes that these acquisitions will likely strengthen its position in the dialysis and biopsy markets, besides expanding its growing specialty dialysis device offering (which includes WRAPSODY Cell-Impermeable Endoprosthesis, HeRO Graft and the Surfacer System devices). This follows Merit Medical’s recent acquisition of the Surfacer Inside-Out Access Catheter System from Bluegrass Vascular Technologies, Inc.

RX 5500 XT with Ryblows a 3400G away for gaming purposes. Sure, it's twice as much as a Ryzen 5 APU, but then gaming performance is typically about 3X better as well. Generally speaking, for desktops, I'd just get a cheap CPU like Ry(3600 if you can manage the budget) and a modest graphics card. JarredWaltonGPU said:Renoir is going to be hard to recommend as a desktop APU gaming solution, knowing that something MUCH better (Zen 3 with RDNA 2 perhaps, or at least RDNA) is coming. ![]() The lack of shadows is the only truly noticeable change, but for an experience that is outside the bounds of what the game supports, it works rather well. There are drops in moments of extreme intensity, but never low enough that it becomes unplayable. Doom Eternal is able to keep mostly to 60-45 FPS during intense combat while still looking surprisingly acceptable. ![]() I'm testing with the GPU at stock clocks, each setting adjusted to the lowest possible value, running at 1080p but with the resolution scale set to 50% (960 x 540 rendering resolution upscaled to 1920 x 1080). The Vega 8 graphics of the 3200G are not only surprisingly capable for an integrated GPU but also can overclock tremendously without the need for improved cooling. I will be trying the game on a $100 Ryzen 3200G paired with 8GB of dual-channel ram at 2400 MHz. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) Performance TestingĪs noted above, at the moment Doom Eternal crashes on Intel integrated graphics, but the situation is much better for AMD integrated GPUs. If you are using a non-English keyboard, whatever button is in this top-left position will usually open the console as well. Like many id games before it, Doom Eternal allows the user to access the developer console using the tilde ("~") key-usually next to the 1 key and under the Esc key on a full size keyboard. We'll update with performance data from Intel graphics at such a time and see if it's possible to keep performance above 30 FPS.Īnd with that preamble out of the way, let's dig into some of the less-obvious tweaks. Should Intel fix their driver problem, which it intends to as far as we can tell, the same tweaks should work on the various Core CPUs. That means our testing of integrated graphics will focus exclusively on AMD APUs for now. After the above warning message, the game would exit a few seconds later and we were back at Steam.
