![]() ![]() Won't somebody think of the pickaxes?Īnother OSRS player was recently hacked for 4.8 billion gold after spending $1,000 on the MMO, but ended up getting it back after sharing their plight on YouTube – angering some players calling the whole thing "streamer privilege. Getting the membership and getting the purple skin colour can be done in just four easy steps: Step 1: Claim the Twitch Prime Umbral Pack. Meanwhile, some players are simply mourning the rare items lost in the ban, especially BTCs' stash of sought-after 3rd Age Pickaxes. Others are championing any ban for major gamblers, who are generally disliked in the community and seen as a remnant of the Dueling Arena, a combat casino that proved to be such a toxic hive of real-world trading that it was ultimately removed from OSRS. The response from the OSRS community has not been sympathetic, with many players standing up for the rules regarding account sharing (and also asking for consistency on how they're enforced). Their matchless fortune of gold pieces, higher-value platinum tokens, and rare items was lost in the ban, but they clearly still have access to sizable wealth elsewhere – more than enough to resume deathmatching between rounds of actual, real-world slot machines, which they also stream on Twitch. Just under a week after the record-setting ban, BTCs is back on Twitch gambling on another account, 345 mileTIME. Records of the latter accusation date back some time. There's a lot of he said, she said going around, but the sheer volume of gold and the way it was passed around is undeniably similar to the MMO's previous high-profile real-world trading fiascos. ![]() Similarly, authority-granting ranks in BTC's gambling clan chat were reportedly sold via Discord and paid out in-game. Firstly, players allege that his regular in-game giveaways were rigged, with the ostensibly random winners paying for gold under the table and the giveaways acting as a smokescreen for broader gold selling.

Oh we can already hear your Scaping senses tingling to what’s coming. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike more playful apps, you can’t study this one while re-binging Nizi Project (a completely random example, of course, not inspired by any true events. Since Human Japanese basically is a book expertly transformed into an app, you have to concentrate on it like you would a textbook. However, if you really want to memorize lots of kanji in a quick and dirty manner, instead of getting to know just a few intimately, you will need to do that in addition to Human Japanese. The first app does a fine job of introducing kana the second one has found an admirable way of providing a first glimpse into kanji, including all readings and stroke order. It is recommendable that Human Japanese doesn’t stop there but also wants you to write nicely. Tapping on the icon beside a sentence will get you a word-for-word breakdown. Then tap below one of those sentences and you will see a translation. Tap on any example sentence and you will hear an audio reading. The app’s strength lies in the fact that it teaches vocabulary and grammar thoroughly. You can track your progress on a right-side panel that remains hidden when you are not using it. It doesn’t quite elevate this study tool to a role-playing game, but it works embarrassingly well. Taking vocabulary, kanji and chapter review quizzes will get you star ratings for those particular quizzes as well as experience points, allowing you to level up and earn new titles. Speaking of which: Motivation and rewards are a big part of the series. However, having finished the first app, it feels rewarding and motivating that somebody considers me properly intermediate. I would consider myself somewhere between upper basic and lower intermediate if I have to put a label on it. I came to that conclusion because I’m already familiar with them and I feel by no means fully intermediate. The latter’s title might be overly flattering since a lot of the contents are still pretty basic. There’s Human Japanese and Human Japanese Intermediate. The app is available for all common platforms, mobile or otherwise and it comes in two versions. Occasionally, however, these tests will make sure you have thoroughly read the text and ask about those cultural tidbits. You will be tested: Review questions are provided after each chapter, mostly regarding grammar and vocabulary. Those who have been living here for a while might find that annoying, but I advise you not to be smug about it. In true textbook fashion, it also works in cultural trivia about Japan. While the latter prides itself in immersing students in their desired language without any explanations or translations whatsoever, Human Japanese teaches you all the rules and all the exceptions to those rules. In a way, Human Japanese’s approach is the opposite to that of Rosetta Stone (not that we should hold it against either). But since it isn’t really a book, there are also audio and video files, animations and interactive features. As well as lots of text, there are some pictures and quizzes to recap what you’ve learned. It is structured like a book with chapters. Human Japanese is an app for those folks. ![]() And then there are people who learn best with the good old textbook. ![]() Others like to mingle with locals to see how far they are going to get. Some feel motivated by a colorful gamey approach.

Last year, an investigation at KU found an athletic massage therapist on contract had inappropriately touched at least six women. But the school said there was “a long way to go” in other areas.

IT IS THEIR JOB TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU. To my fellow students: YOUR VOICE MATTERS. KU student body president Niya McAdoo used social media to urge students to demand action from university officials: ![]() “In order to protect the privacy of victims,” the police said in the online statement, “we do not comment or provide details about sexual assault incidents or their associated investigations.” That department also acknowledged that reports of a sexual assault drew the protestors to Phi Kappa Psi. Police say private security staff used pepper spray on some protesters. The Lawrence Police Department posted a statement online saying no arrests were made during the protests, and no injuries were reported. “The university takes seriously all reports of sexual assault and is unwaveringly committed to the health and safety of our students,” they said in the statement.ĭuring protests Monday and Tuesday evenings outside the fraternity, demonstrators chanted “We believe her” and held signs reading “No means no” and “Your silence is compliance.” KU Chancellor Douglas Girod, Provost Barbara Bichelmeyer and Vice Provost Tammara Durham issued a letter to students Tuesday saying the university has processes to investigate sexual assault and hold individuals accountable. KU officials said the university and local law enforcement are investigating. “Phi Kappa Psi takes these allegations very seriously and will fully cooperate with law enforcement,” the statement said.

Curiously, this also lets you tackle the laziness of the developers: "But i don't want to create 5 different tables for these types of objects that are different but also seem vaguely similar at the present time, i might just do with one wide table with lots of columns because i'm lazy and data normalization be damned!" adding a new table to an existing schema through the ER diagram) which was just surprisingly useful! Not only that, but there was also the ability to synchronize schemas, with the tool essentially diffing what is there and what needs to be changed, so partial changes also become doable (e.g. But not just that, you could also forward engineer this ER diagram of yours to get SQL that you could apply to a live instance, or vice versa - to create an ER diagram of an existing DB instance. You could design your entire schema as an ER diagram, thus being able to play around with how everything could be laid out extremely easily and also get a visual "feel" for that it'd end up being like and how your queries could work. To expand upon the argument of leaning into GUI tools for stuff like this, or to offer my own opinions, i really liked the functionality of MySQL Workbench. Don't feel pressured, do what works for you. These are not fundamentally complex or magic (there will be times you wonder at the stupidity of the query plan), there are books on this and lots of articles out there.įor small dbs, no problem, but as they grow not understanding the optimiser will kill you.Īnyway, my experience. You need to understand what the query optimiser does and how to give it the info it needs (indexes, clustered indexes, stats, whatever), which the wizard will not help you understand. If you know what you are doing you 99% don't need it (I've got a couple of useful tips off it, ever, that's all). The index wizard is likewise de-skilling. ![]() There's a small hump to get over to learn to write SQL queries, it's worth getting over (IMO) (there are times when I'd like to take a large existing multi-way join and see a pic of it though). Visual query builders are a deskilling device. If you're using SQL on small DBs you can probably get away with what you do, for large DBs that won't fly. This is just IMO and it depends on your needs, but these fit mine. ![]() ![]() Play 3 different game modes: Escape the Island, Unlimited Seek & Find, and a Mystery Bonus Game.
