If you’re a designer or photographer, you’ve probably heard of GIMP - the image manipulation software that for a long time has been a free alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Since 1995, it has become one of the largest open-source projects for raster graphics editing. When you don’t need all the bells and whistles of professional software, GIMP is a perfect fit - until you encounter its slow performance. Why is GIMP slow on Mac?īeing a free, open-source project, GIMP doesn’t have processes in place that other software companies do - from code reviews, QA testing to support team day-to-day operations. GIMP also needs to work well on multiple operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and Linux. ![]() Therefore, software updates can often cripple GIMP performance and make it slow. I’ve seen these issues come up in open-source projects first-hand. Thankfully the community is usually just as good at helping you as they are at building the software. So let’s get started with ways to speed up GIMP. Sometimes you may take the slow performance of your Mac for GIMP’s lags. So before you start searching for a reason why GIMP slows down your device, give your Mac a good push first. I recommend you to use an Apple-notarized software, CleanMyMac X. Just install the tool, launch it, and hit the Scan button. It checks your Mac for unneeded files and removes system junk to help your Mac run faster. If you notice that adjusting curves and rotating images takes longer than expected, you might be able to resolve the issue in your graphics processing settings. Find Hardware Acceleration and uncheck “Use OpenCL.”.GIMP has seen some issues in the past with Nvidia and Intel graphics drivers, which have interfered with GIMP’s OpenCL Hardware Acceleration. Try performing the same action before and after disabling OpenCL. If you see no difference, go back and re-enable OpenCL as it may boost performance in other processes. Most designers try to calibrate their monitor’s color profile to their working conditions, then request their software to match that profile. ![]()

I’m going to reinstall a bunch of things.ĭion: I need to update/clarify something I wrote in the previous post. So beyond that, I’m not sure why this problem started at my end. Someone else in another thread suggested that Epson printer drivers had some problems starting around 10.5.6 (perhaps only with some systems there are too many variables in how a user’s Mac might be set up to make any generalizations). Some may be explained by incorrect settings, but I wonder if there is some other issue that causes this problem? I have printed with my Epson successfully for some time before this problem came up, and I’m quite familiar with the printing settings and how to configure them for correct colour management. You are quite correct that the green or magenta cast can occur with certain incorrect settings.Īlthough you (and others) have had no problems with 10.5.8 and Epson, many have reported that they have. No need to clarify for me as I mentioned I spent many hours researching this, and have seen many discussions outside the contents of this thread. Is it possible that you have a problem with clogged heads on your printer? If you haven’t already done so run the print head test and make sure that all of the colors are printing properly and run the head cleaning process if not.ĭan, thanks for the comments, much appreciated.If one is wrong the print will turn out poorly. Because there are so many places where a wrong setting can occur, I can occasionally get trapped by this: the right profile and color management setting (Photoshop) in the first print dialog (correct paper and printer), and then in the second dialog the correct paper (again!) and the correct color management setting (none). This was in the middle of some printing work in which I had otherwise selected the right driver profile settings. Just last week I accidentally printed a test image on my 7900 using the settings for a 2200 with predictably awful results. I know I’ve done this more than once myself. If you are – as I have been know to do – making all of the settings manually each time you print it is possible that you missed one.Please either leave a comment or send me an email.ĭion, two possibilities come to mind – I’ll just toss them out on the off chance that they might help. I welcome any information about the printer issue that you may have.One pleasant surprise was that the installation gave me back 125GB of space on my main drive! Other than this issue – serious to me, but probably a non-issue to most – the upgrade has otherwise been positive.As a – otherwise very successful – beta tester of Snow Leopard, I should not have allowed my enthusiasm for the new OS and otherwise good experience with it on the test machine to blind me to the standard practice of waiting a while to install on my production machine.This may take a while, as I don’t have any urgent printing business to take care of. I will try to continue reporting on my CS4/Epson 2200/Snow Leopard printing issue as I continue to try to understand and resolve it.Since the photo was one that I had not previously printed I decide to remove one variable and instead print a color image that I had successfully printed right before installing the update to OS X. I do a restart and try the profile installer one more time – still no go. I attempt to download and reinstall the Epson profile for the Epson Premium Lustre paper I’m using at the moment. But the print emerges looking very green and way too dark. Things seem to be going more or less OK as I work my way through the usual setup and print process: Photoshop manages colors and all. So, I fire up Photoshop and try to make a test print using a black and white image. Now I can see the printer via its Firewire connection… but not, as far as I can tell, via its USB connection. Download and run their updater for drivers under 10.6ĭone.Download the most recent pre-10.6 drivers for my printer and install.Install Rosetta from Apple install disk. ![]() I finally went to the Epson web site and followed their instructions which include: No luck – the system didn’t even see the connected printer. Knowing that Snow Leopard supposedly will add new drivers as needed I tried to use the 10.6 preference panel to add drivers for the 2200. The first problem I encountered was that the Epson 2200 sitting next to my computer no longer appeared in the the printer dialogs in Photoshop. ![]() After the very trouble-free experience on the test machine I went ahead and installed in on my photography workstation yesterday. I was actually on the beta test list for “Snow Leopard,” so I have been using it without problems for a while – but not on the computer I use for my photographic work but rather on a separate laptop. 6/13/2023 0 Comments Intruder netflix![]() Ryan is not new to Netflix - she has filmed stand-up specials “In Trouble” and “Glitter Room” and appeared alongside Jimmy Carr in “The Fix. Ryan’s salvaged script for “The Duchess” tells the story of a “fashionably disruptive single mom,” according to Radio Times. Ryan was reunited with Kootstra by chance in her hometown of Sarnia, west of Toronto, as she filmed for the BBC series “Who Do You Think You Are?” according to the network. The Intruder might appeal to fans of shout-at-the-screen cinema, but this thrillers ludicrous plot robs it of suspense - and undermines. In other posts, she said she’s had restless nights after the burglary and that she wants to get a German Shepherd because her small dogs were apparently “asleep at the wheel” when the intruder entered, according to the BBC. “He did get these as well, which isn’t a big deal as it’s all just STUFF but might help catch him through pawn shop CCTV or whatever,” she wrote. In another, still-available Instagram story, she showed a photo of some earrings that were stolen. Ive looked all over the internet and concluded that no one has figured out the ending. “Is there a way to circulate this foreshadowing ring around pawn shops that the masked man stole before he was tackled into the street?” Ryan tweeted. The Intruder is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed by Deon Taylor and written by David Loughery. The laptop contained the scripts to Ryan’s upcoming comedy on the streaming service, “The Duchess,” which she’s written and will star in, Variety reported.īut the crook didn’t leave empty-handed, making off with a ring and other pieces of jewelry, she said. “He got in a fight and wrestled back my Netflix series, all my scripts.” “This is why I love Bobby K ,” she wrote in a clip that shows drops of blood on the laptop, according to the BBC. In another Instagram story, the Canadian-born comic said her boyfriend and childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra swiftly jumped into action. Watch it on The Roku Channel, Sling TV - Live.

The Chinese Academy of Science’s Kunming Institute of Zoology created the first human-monkey chimera in July 2019, a Spanish scientist, Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, from the American Salk Institute in San Diego led the project in collaboration with the Murcia Catholic University in Murcia, Spain. Research in China doesn’t face such regulatory oversight. They developed both to review human embryonic stem cell research, including part-human chimera research. Shortly after that the United Kingdom developed the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority and in the United States developed the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee. They implanted those embryos into mama monkeys who then gave birth twins Hex and Roku and a singleton, Chimero. Scientists had mixed parts of six different embryos and created new embryos. Then in January 2012, scientists introduced three rhesus macaques, Hex, Roku and Chimero, to the world. Researchers hope to learn more about regenerative properties and perhaps create a part human chimera to produce organs for much needed transplants. Scientists created the sheep-goat chimera in 1984. Then, scientists realized that since sheep and goats could have live offspring that were sheep-goat hybrids, they might be good experimental subjects for chimera. They created these chimeras in the laboratory to study gene function. Scientists created chimeric mice in 1961. Research Public Doman image from Wikimedia ![]() And you’ve probably seen the recent sensational science news about a lab created monkey-human chimera. You’ve probably seen a sensational crime story where the criminal escapes because of his or her chimera blood type. Human organ transplants create a synthetic chimera. Synthetic chimera gain their unique genetic makeup through transfusion or transplantation. They may have a liver with a DNA that matches the rest of their body, but their kidneys have a different DNA. Most human chimeras never know they have the condition. That condition may be much more common than we assume. Human chimeras were rare, or so we thought. There are innate (natural) plant and animal genetic chimeras. The term genetic chimera refers to a single organism composed of two or more genetically different cells.

Not surprisingly, then, Fforde takes one of the main plot elements of the detective thriller, the red herring, and turns it on its head, poking fun at it to the point that the very term red herring is in itself a red herring, a false clue (or series of false clues), throwing the reader completely off course.“Red Herring” is another well-known fallacy type, but it’s easily confused with “straw man”, so I here I want to highlight the differences between the two. This book, and Fforde's series, is a parody of the genre of classic, hard-boiled detective novels. Here, Fforde takes the notion of a red herring and uses it in a detective mystery novel, but with a twist: Fforde's book is one of a series of humorous detective novels that follows the exploits of its protagonist, a detective named Thursday Next. "'We're talking serious metaherrings here.'" - Jasper Fforde, "One of Our Thursdays Is Missing." Viking, 2011) "'Or perhaps the fact you're meant to think Red Herring isn't a red herring is what makes Red Herring a red herring after all.' Is Red Herring a red herring? Or is it the fact that we're meant to think Red Herring is a red herring that is actually the red herring?' Another example comes from British novelist Jasper Fforde. The perpetrator of the crime, perhaps the murderer, lays out false leads (red herrings) to throw the police off their tracks. ![]() Here, red herrings are used to distract and mislead. Do you follow me?' " - Henning Mankell, "The White Lioness," trans. Experience has taught me that red herrings are an important part of intelligence work. That means there are eyes and ears everywhere. I just want you to think critically about what you are doing. That doesn't mean I'm excluding the possibility that it really is Mandela these lunatics are after. I'd also like you to consider the possibility that these people intend to attack both Mandela and myself. I'd like you to read the report with that in mind, Scheepers. One is that it's me, the president, who is the intended victim. Let us imagine two different sets of circumstances. 'Let us assume there are red herrings laid out in appropriate places. ![]() "'There is something in the report that disturbs me,' said. Of course, red herrings are also used in fictional mediums, such as in mystery novels. This was a stinky ("pungent") red herring indeed, according to the author. Nor is the red herring within a red herring about single sourced stories really relevant either if your source is good enough, then the story is too." - "Labour's Phoney War," The Guardian , June 28, 2003Īccording to the author of this The Guardian piece, the individual in question, Alastair Campbell-former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's director of communications-managed to use a red herring to turn an argument as to whether the UK should be engaged in the Iraq War into a discussion of how the issue was being covered in the press. The BBC's reporting, though important, is not in fact the real issue that is the strength of the case for action against Iraq. Campbell has achieved is largely a classic use of a very pungent red herring. In the space of a couple of days, Alastair Campbell has managed to turn an argument about the way the government presented its case for war in Iraq into an entirely different dispute about the way the BBC covered what was going on in Whitehall at the time. 6/13/2023 0 Comments Aloha collection![]() Plus, it doubles as a fun pouch beyond the diaper years. I also like to give them as gifts to new moms, because the MAX size pouch can hold diapers, wipes and any diaper rash products they may need. One for hair tools, one for makeup, one for skincare and they even work well for shoes. If I’m traveling and want to keep my items separated, I immediately reach for my ALOHA bags. They say, “ALOHA Collection pouches are perfect to stow damp swimsuits, active wear post workout, accident-prone toiletries when traveling, make-up, and are most commonly used as a fun clutch! Our favorite use is for suitcase organization.” It fits the most (obviously) but there’s an inside zipper pocket for additional organization. Hands down my favorite piece is the MAX size pouch. Now, I have every size pouch, two totes, a small duffel and the fanny pack. Of course, once I had that one and realized how well it held up, my collection began to grow. Whenever people would see it in my purse (I used it to keep myself organized) or as a clutch on its own, I would get asked “where did you get that?” To this day, I still use it and it has held up great. My first impression was how soft the fabric was, because I think sometimes you hear about something being water-resistant and this idea of stiff plastic comes to mind. I got my first pouch in 2016 and it was the small size in a pink and palm print. I got to meet the founders and owners when they opened their Waikiki store! So what is ALOHA Collection? It’s a brand built by two best friends to create splash proof (will repel water, but don’t throw it into the ocean with your cell phone inside) bags that were functional. ![]() But what are these bags? And are they worth the money? I’ve been using them for years and wanted to take the time to share the brand for anyone considering a purchase! Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or the bar, having something that is essentially waterproof is a necessity. The “splash-proof” pouches are a Hawaii staple, in my opinion. If you have ever seen me pack for a trip, head to the beach or organize my purse, you’ve seen my assorted Aloha Collection bags. Considering purchasing Aloha Collection bags or one of their pouches? Here’s my honest review of the brand after using them for years. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Adobe digital editions 2.0![]() In March 2009, the author of the reverse engineering blog i♥cabbages announced that they had broken the scheme.

OpenJDK 11 and 17 have support for Cgroups V2, with OpenJDK 8 support due in the forthcoming April update (8u372). Additionally, the kernel's Cgroups feature (retrospectively renamed 'Cgroups v1') was rewritten from scratch as Cgroups v2. Using it in preference to -Xmx has become best practice because the effective limit can track changes to the container memory limit. ![]() The JVM parameter -XX:MaxRAMPercentage was added. In the times since this feature was developed, OpenJDK has grown its own container awareness and can read and respond to Cgroup memory limits. Until now, our container run scripts were responsible for querying the kernel Cgroup settings, calculating what the ceiling should be as an absolute value, and setting the OpenJDK -Xmx flag accordingly. The containers set a ceiling value on the amount of heap space that Java can allocate, defaulting to 50% and adjustable by setting JAVA_MAX_MEM_RATIO (e.g. We are making a change to the default JVM memory tuning parameters, moving away from setting the JVM -Xmx parameter and instead using -XX:MaxRAMPercentage ( OPENJDK-1486).
