Congress launched an investigation into government response to the storm and issued a highly critical report in February 2006 entitled, " A Failure of Initiative." Changes Since Katrina In 2014 Nagin was convicted of bribery, fraud and money laundering while in office. Louisiana Governor Blanco declined to seek re-election in 2007 and Mayor Nagin left office in 2010. Brown, but as criticism mounted, Brown was forced to resign, as was the New Orleans Police Department Superintendent. Bush had originally praised his director of FEMA, Michael D. ![]() New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin argued that there was no clear designation of who was in charge, telling reporters, “The state and federal government are doing a two-step dance." "They wanted to negotiate an organizational chart." Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana told the New York Times. "We wanted soldiers, helicopters, food and water," Denise Bottcher, press secretary for then-Gov. And officials from different branches of government were quick to direct the blame at each other. In the wake of the storm's devastating effects, local, state and federal governments were criticized for their slow, inadequate response, as well as for the levee failures around New Orleans. Hundreds of thousands of evacuees scattered far and wide. According to The Data Center, an independent research organization in New Orleans, the storm ultimately displaced more than 1 million people in the Gulf Coast region. In all, Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people and affected some 90,000 square miles of the United States. Katrina exacerbated these conditions and left many of New Orleans’s poorest citizens even more vulnerable than they had been before the storm. Before the storm, the city’s population was mostly black (about 67 percent) moreover, nearly 30 percent of its people lived in poverty. Katrina pummeled huge parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, but the desperation was most concentrated in New Orleans. For instance, some people tried to walk over the Crescent City Connection bridge to the nearby suburb of Gretna, but police officers with shotguns forced them to turn back. Meanwhile, it was nearly impossible to leave New Orleans: Poor people especially, without cars or anyplace else to go, were stuck. Morial Convention Center complex, but they found nothing there but chaos. Tens of thousands of people desperate for food, water and shelter broke into the Ernest N. City leaders had no real plan for anyone else. At the Superdome in New Orleans, where supplies had been limited to begin with, officials accepted 15,000 more refugees from the storm on Monday before locking the doors. The levees along the Mississippi River were strong and sturdy, but the ones built to hold back Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne and the waterlogged swamps and marshes to the city’s east and west were much less reliable.įor one thing, many had nowhere to go. Over the course of the 20th century, the Army Corps of Engineers had built a system of levees and seawalls to keep the city from flooding. Though about half the city actually lies above sea level, its average elevation is about six feet below sea level–and it is completely surrounded by water. ![]() That day, the National Weather Service predicted that after the storm hit, “most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks…perhaps longer.”ĭid you know? During the past century, hurricanes have flooded New Orleans six times: in 1915, 1940, 1947, 1965, 19. By August 28, evacuations were underway across the region. The tropical depression that became Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and meteorologists were soon able to warn people in the Gulf Coast states that a major storm was on its way. ![]()

8/17/2023 0 Comments Ffxiv bard repertoire![]() ![]() Related to the Apex Arrow/ Blast Arrow skills, the Soul Voice gauge charges five points every time Repertoire procs.īefore we jump into the explanation of Bard skills, we should talk about the ones which make the Bard special compared to the other physical ranged DPS in FFXIV. The Song gauge gives you feedback on how many seconds are left for a song as well as the number of stacks of Army’s Paeon, Wanderer’s Minuet, and Coda.Īt level 80, the Bard gets a second bar called Soul Voice Gauge. The Bard’s Job Gauge represents one of the most important aspects of a Bard: their songs. Since most of them are just stronger versions of their base versions, we are only going to talk about the specifics in cases where a new effect is added.īecause this Job requires a high level of skill management, you need to use Bard’s Song Gauge in order to help you out during a fight. Whenever this is the case, we explain the basic skills and at which level it evolves to a new one. For the sake of making Bard’s rotation easier to understand in the next section of this guide, we’ll explain skills based on them being GCD, oGCD, or Role actions.īard is also a Job whose many basic skills receive upgraded versions as you level up. Understanding what each of them does is key to making the most out of this Job’s priority system. While Bard doesn’t have as many skills as some other Jobs, you are going to be using most of them consistently. ![]() Now take your bow and prepare to become the bard whose songs will remain! The songs you have at your disposal add so much to your experience thematically speaking. In the end, despite the difficulty in mastering the Job, Bard is fun to play with beautiful animations. Good players are capable of reaching high numbers in terms of damage with Bard while also somewhat protecting themselves and increasing their stats. Dancer has good utility skills but lower damage and Machinist is pure damage with almost no utility, while Bard finds itself in the middle. ![]() On the other hand, Bard is the most balanced Job in the physical ranged DPS group. It can be an inconsistent Job mostly because you depend so much on certain skill procs to deal damage and you can’t be 100% certain of which skills you’ll have available during the fight. It’s important to know that, compared to Dancer and Machinist, Bard is the most difficult ranged DPS to master among the trio. Don’t forget to equip your Soul Crystal!Īs a physical ranged DPS, Bard is among the Jobs in FFXIV that bring not only high damage output but also a kit with good utility skills for the party. Then, after reaching level 30 and completing the quest A Song of Bards and Bowmen given by Luciane at New Gridania, you’ll become a Bard. To do so, you must accept the quest Way of the Archer at the Archer’s Guild in New Gridania (X: 15.4 Y: 12). If you are considering playing Bard, first you need to unlock the Archer class. With all of this out of the way, let’s jump into how you become a Bard in FFXIV! By learning a little bit about each of them, you might find out whether Bard is the best pick for you or not! But if you still want to play this Job and you’re going to go through this guide, we advise you to check our FFXIV Glossary, since playing Bard involves the use of many specific terms that you may or may not be familiar with. Now if you by any chance feel a little reluctant to start this journey – maybe because you’re new to FFXIV or because you’ve never played a Job like Bard and you don’t want to start with the most difficult one – you may want to check our FFXIV Tier List for Ranged DPS Jobs. If you are up for the challenge and want to make your name among the Bards of Eorzea, we got you covered! ![]() This is not, however, an easy Job to play! Its skill ceiling makes Bard one of the most difficult Jobs in the game. The Job has been in the game since 1.0 and has changed a lot over time, securing the spot of a powerful physical ranged DPS. From the basic concepts you should keep in mind when playing Bard to the skills you have at your disposal, and the best rotations for you to use when leveling this Job, let’s dig in!īards (and the typically associated Archers) are probably one of the most common archetypes in MMO games and FFXIVhas its own version. Prepare yourself to learn everything you need to know about the Final Fantasy XIV Bard job and master this ranged DPS class with the help of our guide. A classic powerful bow user, the Bard brings bravery and excitement to every fight with their mastery of music. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Grpc vs rest api performance![]() An API’s abstraction level contributes to its reusability. RPC is able to optimize the network layer and make it very efficient with sending tons of messages per day between different services. Lightweight payloads go easy on the network providing high performance, which is important for shared servers and for parallel computations executing on networks of workstations. If we get a new requirement for our API, we can easily add another endpoint executing this requirement: 1) Write a new function and throw it behind an endpoint and 2) now a client can hit this endpoint and get the info meeting the set requirement. The mechanics of the interaction between a server and a client come down to calling an endpoint and getting a response.Įasy-to-add functions. RPC uses GET to fetch information and POST for everything else. Remote Procedure Calling Mechanism, Source: Guru99 RPC Pros The server stub and client stub take care of the serialization and deserialization of the parameters. On receiving the message, the server deserializes its content, executes the requested operation, and sends a result back to the client. How RPC worksĪ client invokes a remote procedure, serializes the parameters and additional information into a message, and sends the message to a server. ![]() With pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking, and authentication, gRPC is well-suited for connecting microservices. gRPC is the latest RPC version developed by Google in 2015. So, later an RPC API started using a more concrete JSON-RPC specification which is considered a simpler alternative to SOAP. Initial XML-RPC was problematic because ensuring data types of XML payloads is tough. RPC extends the notion of local procedure calling but puts it in the context of an HTTP API. In this article, we’ll stay objective and discuss the four major API styles in the order of their appearance, compare their strong and weak sides, and highlight the scenarios where each of them fits best.įour major API styles compared Remote Procedure Call (RPC): invoking a function on another systemĪ Remote Procedure Call is a specification that allows for remote execution of a function in a different context. The problem with these opinions is that they are one-sided picking a technology itself instead of considering how its actual properties and characteristics match the situation at hand.Ĭheck our video if you prefer watching to reading Today, many API consumers refer to REST as “ REST in peace” and cheer for GraphQL, while ten years ago it was a reverse story with REST as the winner to replace SOAP. A pull of choices raises endless debates as to which architectural style is best.ĪPI styles over time, Source: Rob Crowley Each of them has its own patterns of standardizing data exchange. Over time, different API architectural styles have been released. These specifications make up the API architecture. In order to integrate applications quickly and at scale, APIs are realized using protocols and/or specifications to define the semantics and syntax of the messages passed across the wire. So, developers often build bridges – Application Programming Interfaces – to allow one system to access the information or functionality of another. Two separate applications need an intermediary to talk to each other. ![]() Which API pattern fits your use case best? Reading time: 11 minutes.Representational state transfer (REST): making data available as resources. ![]() Simple Objects Access Protocol (SOAP): making data available as services.Remote Procedure Call (RPC): invoking a function on another system. ![]() WebSockets was more like a workaround for implementing server push back when it was not available in the HTTP/1.1 protocol, and long polling was the only option. HTTP/2 is an implementation detail of gRPC, and actually, it could be implemented using WebSockets, but WebSockets would not add much on top of bare TCP communication (except for the security layer in case of wss://) You define everything in a proto file, and the statically typed (depends on the language) client and server codes are generated. On top of the bare communication protocol itself, gRPC handles a lot more. Here is a link to one I like: Will WebSocket survive HTTP/2? The HTTP/2 vs WebSockets comparison is more interesting in my opinion. That said, comparing gRPC to WebSockets is a bit like apple to oranges. WebSocket is an older standard part of the HTML5 Features, whereas gRPC is a complete remote procedure call mechanism. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Gfxcardstatus os x![]() ![]() The thing that scares me is this card needs two six pin to eight pin adapter. I can upgrade to a Saphire Radion 580 which has two fans and good reviews. I know how this movie ends and it doesn't end nicely. Now I am getting the shut down and beeping UPS in the middle of the night. So that graphics card was replaced with another graphics card that was used/refurbished. I also noticed that there was a lot of heat coming out the back of the Mac. I called a repair guy and he said that it was the graphics card failing. This would only occur every few weeks.įinally in November I got weird squiggles on the screen. Odd that this only happened when it had been in sleep mode and always sometime during the night. The UPS manufacturer support article said that this occurs when something in the computer gets too hot. ![]() So I had him install a new graphics card (Nvidia Quadro) and replace the burned out board.Īfter about five months I would randomly find the Mac Pro shut down, and sometimes the UPS would be beeping. ![]() Worse yet (the repairman told me) it shunted the power to some board in my beloved Mac Pro and burned that out. It does everything I want and has more power that I need.Įarlier this year the graphics card finally gave up the ghost and failed. Mac Pro (mid 2010) graphics cards keep failing I have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) that I have bought new in 2012. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with the app and if I'm doing something wrong? Or will it not force apps that are designed to use the discrete gpu to use the integrated gpu? Perhaps my only way around this is to not use those apps and find alternatives. It was my understanding that it should force any app to use the integrated gpu but apps that need the discrete gpu are still using it, like Chrome and Photos. I downloaded gfxcardstatus 2.4.4i (running High Sierra 10.3.3) and set it to use integrated only. It's a great computer and runs fine when it's up. They referred me to an authorized repair center but $ is tight, so I'm looking for alternatives. They won't repair it because it's vintage. I have to reset the pram, smc, try to go into internet recovery mode, etc. Whenever an app needs the discrete video card, it will reboot. Long story short, my 2011 macbook pro has the dreaded logic board issue. ![]() ![]()
