![]() ![]() ![]() While local weather records are less than 100 years old, other records and data indicate that this July will go down as the hottest month in thousands of centuries, according to Scientific American. Phoenix ended its record 31-day, 110-degree heat streak Monday, after the high reached only 108 degrees, the weather service said. The high finished at 109 on the 11th day, just shy of setting a new record. The average high for the two weeks was 112.3, and the average low was 89.1.Įarlier this month Harry Reid International Airport recorded 110 or higher for 10 consecutive days, equal to a 1962 record. The July record comes as the weather service tweeted over the weekend that the 14 days ending Saturday were the hottest two weeks in Las Vegas history, with a daily average temperature of 100.7. “It (July) is going to be the hottest month in the 87 years that we have had reliable weather records,” meteorologist Clay Morgan said Monday.Ī stormy Monday evening dropped the day’s low to 79, which lowered the average daily temperature for the month from an expected 97.5 to 97.3, meteorologist Brian Planz said. That is more than a degree hotter than the previous hottest July in 2010, when the average temperature was 96.2, according to the Las Vegas office of the National Weather Service. July 2023 is the hottest month in Las Vegas weather history, with an average daily temperature of 97.3 degrees.

This is perhaps the third time I've posted this on HN, but what you describe is the circle of life for widely-used software projects. > The same thing is happening at bigger companies, at some point productivity start to matter and off the shelf solutions start to fail Just write code in a way you find clean/maintainable/readable, and when you have perf issues, profile them and ship the appropriate fix. This article is probably meaningful for people who work on databases, games, OSes, etc., but for most devs/apps these tips will yield zero noticeable performance improvements. But it’s been rare in the work I’ve done. For example, when working on vehicle routing problems, they’re super computationally heavy, need to be optimized like crazy and the hot spots can indeed involve pretty low level optimizations. With that being said, I have worked on the odd performance optimization where we had to get quite low level. Programmer doing something dumb, like using an array when they should be using a set (and then doing a huge number of membership checks) Excessive serialization/deserialization (things like ORMs that create massive in memory objects) Lack of caching/memoization for some expensive thing that could be cached on higher level applications, and the perf bottlenecks have never been any of the things discussed in this article. 100%, I’ve done tonnes of (backend) performance optimization, profiling, etc. ![]() ![]() (Buy tickets to see the movie in theaters on Fandango here.

I got a headache from trying to manage and update all the scripts, putting them in the appropriate contextual toolbars, having them working in the right context, troubleshooting, messaging with script creates because of errors and bugs. But then you need another script for CC11. Like, there's a script that can subtract -10 from CC7. I was trying to get the midi editor to behave easily and intuitively but I always felt that I ran into walls with scripts all the time. The fact that I have to install dozens of scripts to even get that midi editor up to par speaks volumes for me. Reaper can do everything that Cubase can, but not as fast and intuitive, at least on the midi front. When you are doing Sound FX work on a movie, those features are enormous time savers.īut for composing with midi, I find the workflow in Cubase so much more rounded and streamlined than Reaper. Or the fact that I can select a portion of a clip in the browser and only import that. Like Audio Event FX with the automation on the event itself. I find that from time to time Reaper offers me some function I can't find anywhere. I just use instrument tracks and sends and FX returns, so nothing crazy. Because, when I'm composing, I'm not using that kind of complex routing. I would agree, and yet I've tried both programs and have settled on Cubase. I'm still hoping for refinements to Reapers midi editor, but I think I'm at the point now where the productivity boost of using Reaper definitely outweighs the few gripes I have with it. In Cubase you can't (only in a very cumbersome way in the arrange view). ![]() Timestretching a group of midi notes in the piano roll is another thing that I love that Reaper can do. In Cubase doing something like that is incredibly cumbersome, and involves multiple tracks and takes many more mouse clicks to accomplish. The item will stay exactly in place on the same track the midi was on, have the same routing and fx as the midi on that track, and is now a snap to timestretch to sync perfectly up. ![]() ![]() The fact that a track can hold both midi and audio makes it incredibly easy to bounce, say, a pre-recorded string run. On the other hand, Reaper has some stuff that you just don't get with any other DAW. The rest of the stuff I missed I've been able to customize and script myself out of. For me it's mostly down to CC editing that feels clunky. Reaper's midi editor lacks a few nice things that Cubase has. Maybe watch some Cubase Midi Tutorials on YouTube first now to get a general overview of what you would get into and how different everything works to how you are used to (could be you don‘t want Cubase after the first 15min or that you want to switch as soon as possible ) all a matter of personal taste there The midi editor itself is great as you have „infinite“ possibilities, but for a real comparison of the differences between Reaper Midi and Cubase Midi there should answer someone who recently used/uses both, as this was more a general thought of switching DAWs. Can be though that you first need a couple of days with frustration and YouTube videos so you find everything (was for me the case with Midi-Tracks as I had no idea how to load a Kontakt patch there and it wasn‘t really a plug and play situation in the beginning, like Logic really is). ![]() No DAW is perfect for everyone so it could be (like in my case) a huge step forward in terms of speed and usability. In Logic I Never even began to build a setup as it would have taken me probably a year to load everything in. On the other hand I have now built my perfect setup for my workflow where everything is layed out, routed etc. E.G in the beginning it was „really“ hard for me to get used to the whole routing thing in Cubase as there are no effect possible for Midi-Tracks, in Logic I always only used the „normal“ instrument tracks where you can just add effect how you like. Well I never used Reaper, only Logic before so I can’t tell you directly how different everything is there.įor me though the most advantage was the ease of using the instrument rack and with that being able to load multiple instruments in one Kontakt instance.īut if you already are comfortable with Reaper I‘d really go for the trial version before buying, because there are always things (key commands, where things are „hidden“, Mixer etc.) where you first have to get used to. ![]() Epson 720p projectors are 3x Brighter Epson 1080p projectors are consistently 2x and up to 3x Brighter.

Image Credit: thirawatana phaisalratana, Shutterstock ![]() However, it is also advisable to give your dog a blood test once a year to check that no heartworms have avoided the preventative and grown into adults. Thankfully these resistant infections are rare, so you should continue to give your dog a monthly preventative treatment. There is no evidence that worms are more likely to be resistant to Heartgard Plus than to any of the other heartworm preventatives currently available. It is possible for dogs to get heartworm infections that are resistant to Heartgard Plus, though thankfully this seems to be very rare. Can heartworms be resistant to Heartgard Plus? However, the dose in Heartgard Plus is low, and it has been shown that this is safe to give to collies who have this mutation. ![]() This mutation is usually rare but is much more common amongst Collie breeds, including Border Collies, Australian Sheepdogs, and Shelties.Īt high doses, ivermectin is toxic to dogs with the MDR-1 mutation. This is because of a genetic mutation called MDR-1, which affects how sensitive dogs are to some medications. Some owners may be concerned about giving ivermectin (an ingredient in Heartgard Plus) to Collies. Dogs over 7 months old who have not previously been on heartworm medication should have a blood test before starting Heartgard Plus. It is important to make sure that dogs are free of heartworm before starting on a preventative medication like Heartgard Plus. Puppies must at least 6 weeks old before they can be given Heartgard Plus. Are there any dogs who cannot have Heartgard Plus? You need to give it all year round – even one missed monthly treatment can be enough for your dog to develop an infection. Heartgard Plus must be given once a month to protect your dog.

This will kill any young worms before they can make their way to your dog’s heart. Interceptor must be given once a month, all year round. It will also treat hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm. It is part of the family of drugs called Macrocyclic Lactones, which are effective at killing young heartworms to prevent them from reaching the heart. What is the active ingredient in Interceptor? Not all dog wormers will kill heartworms, but Interceptor is one of the ones that can. The best way to protect dogs from heartworm disease is to kill the young worms before they reach the heart. Unfortunately, heartworm is difficult and expensive to treat once dogs have become infected for a while. Heartworm is a serious parasite that dogs can catch from mosquito bites, which can lead to heart failure and death. ![]() Interceptor is a medication prescribed by veterinarians to prevent heartworm. |
