Deadlock is absolutely not a Team Fortress spiritual successor, it has much much more in common with Dota 2 than TF2, and is really full of interesting features and polish for where it's at in its development.
Still no remote/bluetooth capabilities. That's the only thing that would make me upgrade, the third-party remotes you can buy are all pretty clunky (bulky clip on the side of the Kindle, need to be recharged often, can only flip forward as they just fake a swipe on the right of the screen).
I paid $20 for a remote page turner on Amazon and the battery lasts weeks. There’s no Bluetooth involved, it just uses basic radio signals to trigger a pulse that the kindle interprets as haptic input.
It’s one of my favorite purchases, because now I can actually fall asleep while reading the kindle since I’m not activating my arm muscles to turn every page.
This is the item (my kindle is one of the earliest versions, from 2011, if that matters): https://amzn.eu/d/aJaesjd
Life changing isn't it? Coupled with a holder attached to the bed I feel like I read twice as fast when I'm using it rather than holding the kindle, side effect being that I look like the people in WALL-E.
I understand that people would prefer if it were built into the device but in all honesty it isn't really that much of an inconvenience when you're already only using it while it's stationary.
I recommended the PocketBook Era to someone who has an Oasis in a sister comment. It supports Bluetooth remotes, keyboards, probably any Bluetooth HID with buttons. You just map any button press you want to reader actions (including ones beyond just page turn). It doesn't support input from them outside the reader interface, but fully usable without the touchscreen (you can map turning it on and off to the button combos too) when reading with a remote or the built in physical buttons.
I used to think the UK had all
the weather too. Then I moved to New England, which still doesn’t get all the weather, but compared to the UK, feels like the weather is turned up to 11.
What the UK has is changeable weather, which is, as I say, what dark sky excels at helping you with (‘will I need me brolly? Or will it blow away?’)
Gonna have to agree with the other reply, as a french-canadian, except for "servir comme un point de départ" which should be "servir de point de départ", that all sounds perfectly fine.
If this is actually "good" or even acceptable French Canadian, then it's a different language from French (and the blog post should mention it).
I kind of doubt it though -- the speaker doesn't have a Canadian accent (which is hard to miss), and in my (admittedly limited) experience, French Canadian isn't that different from French.
I mean, this has to be a joke right ? There is seemingly no way for me to go to the homepage from that link. This is less usable than anything else posted in these comments.
I've read for hundreds if not a thousand hours on my Kobo Clara HD. I've never heard of Koreader, but from what I see it seems only really useful for PDFs ? I never read PDFs, only epubs, and it looks like on Koreader I would be missing stuff like chapter progress, length to read next chapter/rest of the book, marking finished books, etc.
Am I wrong in thinking all these quality of life things for simple book reading are not present on Koreader ?
KOReader has all these features and much more. I particularly depend on the possibility to quickly override styles in badly formatted ebooks, great support for StarDict dictionaries, OPDS support for quickly downloading books from Calibre server, and much more flexible configuration of the backlight.
Works like a charm on my Surface Pro 3. Incredibly impressed, One note doesn't recognize my handwriting well but this is incredible as a math undegrad !
As many have said, an open-source app would be a godsend.
Thanks, I'm gonna be attending UdeM next semester so I'm noting this down.
Does this class require much CS education ? I'm going to be studying Mathematics but I have a good base of C#.
You'll need to know algorithms, asymptotic complexity, probably have some knowledge of classical theory of computation. Mathematical maturity and linear algebra and complex numbers are important too. If you're curious, you can of course contact the prof and discuss your situation with them.
While all of these are required, none of the besides linear algebra are needed in great detail. I think someone who is Studying mathematics should be able to handle it.
I agree with you. I have a lot of friends in bot pre-uni (as myself) and in techniques and I find it awesome how a CÉGEP strikes a good balance between general education and specific classes.
