![]() Secondly, to the sites that contribute a plethora of content to the subreddit, we thank you. For those upset, we encourage you to listen and understand why we’re protesting. We’ve gotten many requests to open back up, but truth of the matter is, is that Reddit is just a secondary community. We sympathize with those who want to see the subreddit. Reddit is a community that thrives off community itself. ![]() This is not the first time Reddit has shown a continued lapse in judgement, and communication, for volunteers who do their work essentially for free. r/Android will continue to monitor the situation and is prepared to continue to extend our blackout if the situation does not show positive improvements. r/Android has not ruled out an indefinite blackout, but also is not opposed to joining the indefinite blackout. ![]() R/Android will be extending our blackout, and will be private until June 21st, 2023 UTC / June 20th, 2023 20:00 EDT / June 20th, 2023 17:00 PDT. In a statement shared by the moderators of r/Android it’s explained that the subreddits will remain private through June 20 at 8pm ET, and the same is true of r/GooglePixel and r/AndroidApps Update 6/13: As Reddit continues to double down on the changes that will kill third-party apps, r/Android and r/GooglePixel will remain “dark” for the time being. For over two million, r/Android serves as a hub for news, while r/AndroidAuto and r/GooglePixel are invaluable sources for talking with a community to troubleshoot problems. These communities are set to come back after 48 hours, but it’s certainly an impact that could be felt. In the Android space, a few affected major subreddits include: It’s certainly an effective call, as pulling down many of these subreddits will lessen how many people are using Reddit, as well as pulling valuable information from the web, albeit only temporarily. ![]() The 48-hour shutdown (or indefinite, in some cases) is meant to call on Reddit to reverse its API changes for the sake of moderation. The full list of affected communities totals over 6,000, including many of the site’s largest subreddits. In many cases, these clients are far more advanced in terms of features compared to Reddit’s official offerings, especially when it comes to community moderation which – despite being handled almost entirely by unpaid volunteers – is a key part of how the website operates.įor those reasons, Reddit communities (known as “subreddits”) have been going offline today. The death of these third-party clients doesn’t just come down to preference either. The added costs have also killed off some of Android’s best Reddit clients in Reddit is Fun (RIF) and Sync. ![]() The developer of Apollo, the most popular third-party Reddit client on iOS, says the new API would cost as much as $20 million per year. The added fees effectively eliminate free users, while also making existing paid users a financial burden on developers. The price is also very high, drastically more so than other platforms. This change is quite literally killing off many third-party Reddit clients, which are dying not because the API is coming with a cost, but because that cost is being implemented with a very very small window of time to make needed changes. On July 1, Reddit will impose hefty fees on developers for the use of its API. Now, as the result of protests over Reddit’s upcoming API changes, some of the most useful subreddits for Android have “gone dark.” Reddit is one of the most useful websites on the planet for getting information from a large group of actual people, which makes various subreddits key to the internet as a whole. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please participate in the subreddit before performing any promotion, self or otherwise.Though do keep a look out for our weekly threads We welcome questions about the game, including build questions.No posts which break the ZOS Terms of Service.Low-effort posts including memes will be removed.

How to make Paula Deen’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake: It’s probably a recipe very similar to the pound cake recipe that you already have in your recipe files. This cream cheese pound cake is one of Paula Deen’s classic recipes. She’s a lovely lady, and she knows how to make the best desserts! I had the opportunity to go to her house while I was there.

Top with the remaining layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting. (Spread enough frosting to make a 1/4 to 1/2-inch layer.) Carefully set another layer on top, rounded-side down, and repeat. Using a palette knife or offset spatula spread some of the Cream Cheese Frosting over the top of the cake. Place 1 layer, rounded-side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand. One at a time, invert the cakes onto a plate and then re-invert them onto a cooling rack, rounded-sides up. Remove the cakes from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the sides of the pans.

I have always felt that the smooth artificial surfaces and right angles of the monolith, which was obviously made by intelligent beings, triggered the realization in an ape brain that intelligence could be used to shape the objects of the world. In the first, prehistoric apes, confronted by a mysterious black monolith, teach themselves that bones can be used as weapons, and thus discover their first tools. And he had made it in a way that invited us to contemplate it - not to experience it vicariously as entertainment, as we might in a good conventional science-fiction film, but to stand outside it as a philosopher might, and think about it. What he had actually done was make a philosophical statement about man's place in the universe, using images as those before him had used words, music or prayer. The overnight Hollywood judgment was that Kubrick had become derailed, that in his obsession with effects and set pieces, he had failed to make a movie. The closing sequences, with the astronaut inexplicably finding himself in a bedroom somewhere beyond Jupiter, were baffling. The film did not provide the clear narrative and easy entertainment cues the audience expected. Rock Hudson stalked down the aisle, complaining, “Will someone tell me what the hell this is about?'' There were many other walkouts, and some restlessness at the film's slow pace (Kubrick immediately cut about 17 minutes, including a pod sequence that essentially repeated another one). To describe that first screening as a disaster would be wrong, for many of those who remained until the end knew they had seen one of the greatest films ever made. Fearing to fly and facing a deadline, Kubrick had sailed from England on the Queen Elizabeth, doing the editing while on board, and had continued to edit the film during a cross-country train journey. Clarke, special-effects expert Douglas Trumbull and consultants who advised him on the specific details of his imaginary future - everything from space station design to corporate logos. Kubrick had been working on the film in secrecy for some years, in collaboration, the audience knew, with author Arthur C. It is impossible to describe the anticipation in the audience adequately. I attended the Los Angeles premiere of the film, in 1968, at the Pantages Theater. Kubrick's film is almost unique in enhancing the music by its association with his images. When classical music is associated with popular entertainment, the result is usually to trivialize it (who can listen to the “William Tell Overture'' without thinking of the Lone Ranger?). The music is associated in the film with the first entry of man's consciousness into the universe -and with the eventual passage of that consciousness onto a new level, symbolized by the Star Child at the end of the film. Now consider Kubrick's famous use of Richard Strauss' “Thus Spake Zarathustra.'' Inspired by the words of Nietzsche, its five bold opening notes embody the ascension of man into spheres reserved for the gods. At the same time, there is an exaltation in the music that helps us feel the majesty of the process. And so, through a peculiar logic, the space hardware moves slowly because it's keeping the tempo of the waltz. We are asked in the scene to contemplate the process, to stand in space and watch. Obviously such a docking process would have to take place with extreme caution (as we now know from experience), but other directors might have found the space ballet too slow, and punched it up with thrilling music, which would have been wrong. The Johann Strauss waltz “Blue Danube,'' which accompanies the docking of the space shuttle and the space station, is deliberately slow, and so is the action. It wants to be sublime it brings a seriousness and transcendence to the visuals.Ĭonsider two examples. The classical music chosen by Kubrick exists outside the action. ![]() North's score, which is available on a recording, is a good job of film composition, but would have been wrong for “2001" because, like all scores, it attempts to underline the action - to give us emotional cues. Although Kubrick originally commissioned an original score from Alex North, he used classical recordings as a temporary track while editing the film, and they worked so well that he kept them. ![]() No little part of his effect comes from the music. Alone among science-fiction movies, “2001" is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe. He reduces each scene to its essence, and leaves it on screen long enough for us to contemplate it, to inhabit it in our imaginations. This is the work of an artist so sublimely confident that he doesn't include a single shot simply to keep our attention. The genius is not in how much Stanley Kubrick does in "2001: A Space Odyssey," but in how little. ![]() ![]() ![]() This creates a branch called bugFix on your remote and sets your local bugFix branch to track it.

I don't know if it was deprecated more recently, but the fact the the git-branch(1) manpage for git-2.7.5 mentions it without warning about it, means it's still around and is going to stay around.

It's related to git branch -set-upstream-to, but not the same. And now you can use git branch -set-upstream-to, but it might be nice if git push could do that automatically-and that's the git push -set-upstream, aka -u, option. Now that they do have a newbranch, your Git creates your origin/newbranch to remember their newbranch. Soon, however, you git push your local newbranch to their Git, so that their Git creates newbranch in their repository. But if you try, it fails: $ git branch -set-upstream-to=origin/newbranchĮrror: the requested upstream branch 'origin/newbranch' does not existīecause origin/newbranch does not exist yet, because the other git at origin does not have a branch named newbranch.

It means that if the push succeeds, your local Git should set, as the upstream of a branch reference supplied as your source, the remote-tracking branch corresponding to the destination branch you got the other Git to set, which in many cases, your own Git has just now created in your repository because their Git has also just created their branch. The git push command has only -u aka -set-upstream, which takes no argument.
