![]() Note the use of requestAnimationFrame, which is discussed in more detail in a later section. no pre-rendering: // canvas, context are defined You could either redraw his hat, moustache, and “M” at each frame, or pre-render Mario before running the animation. For example, suppose you’re redrawing Mario running at 60 frames a second. Pre-rendering means using a separate off-screen canvas (or canvases) on which to render temporary images, and then rendering the off-screen canvases back onto the visible one. If you’re re-drawing similar primitives to the screen across multiple frames, as is often the case when writing a game, you can make large performance gains by pre-rendering large parts of the scene. You can find out if Chrome's HTML5 canvas is hardware accelerated by visiting about:gpu in the address bar. This turns out to be a limitation, since we don't know what OS the browser was running on, or even more importantly, whether or not HTML5 canvas was hardware accelerated when the performance test ran. I’ve written a small helper application that renders these results as graphs, embedded throughout this article.Īll of the performance results in this article are keyed on the browser version. Because the optimization techniques in this article are backed up by a JSPerf result, you can return to see up-to-date information about whether or not the technique still applies. Higher scores are always better! Visitors to a JSPerf performance test page can run the test on their browser, and let JSPerf store the normalized test results on Browserscope ( ). JSPerf runs each approach as many times as possible over a short time period and gives a statistically meaningful number of iterations per second. Each test focuses on a result that you’re trying to achieve (for example, clearing the canvas), and includes multiple approaches that achieve the same result. JSPerf is a web application that allows developers to write JavaScript performance tests. ![]() To address the quickly changing world of HTML5 canvas, JSPerf ( ) tests verify that every proposed optimization still works. For that, check out these canvas related articles on HTML5Rocks, this chapter on the Dive into HTML5 site or the MDN Canvas. Note that this article does not go into usage of HTML5 canvas. In particular, as browser vendors implement canvas GPU acceleration, some of the outlined performance techniques discussed will likely become less impactful. This article includes fundamental optimizations that apply to all computer graphics environments as well as canvas-specific techniques that are subject to change as canvas implementations improve. This article aims to consolidate some of this body into a more readily digestible resource for developers. There’s a lot of disconnected wisdom about optimizing canvas performance. However, as the applications we build increase in complexity, developers inadvertently hit the performance wall. ![]() Many developers now rely on it for a wide variety of multimedia projects, visualizations, and games. HTML5 canvas, which started as an experiment from Apple, is the most widely supported standard for 2D immediate mode graphics on the web. ![]()

I want to know what drew politicians, athletes, musicians and actors to The El Morocco for decades. Her son Paul Samara is pouring out glasses of water and promises to fill in the fuzzy details. We are sitting at Naphie Samara’s kitchen table in the Grafton Hill neighborhood of Worcester. And there were the celebrities whose names still roll of her tongue in rapid succession. There was a dining room on every floor of the three decker at 73 Wall St., a kitchen in the basement and a potbelly stove that kept them warm in the winter. Now in her late-90s, Samara recalls the restaurant with exceptional clarity. Samara is the last surviving member of the Aboody brood, the eight siblings who co-owned Worcester’s legendary El Morocco Restaurant, which opened in 1943. But if you’re reading this in hopes of learning her recipe, put the magazine down or click to another screen.

By episode six, he commits unintentional vehicular manslaughter while reviewing road rage two episodes later, he is party to the kidnapping of a cop while reviewing running from the law. Forrest’s dedication to his work is all-consuming: just three episodes into the series, he reviews divorce by ending his happy marriage. The excellent Andy Daly ( Comedy Bang! Bang!, Eastbound and Down, so many more) stars as Forrest MacNeil, a life reviewer who, for his show within Comedy Central’s, throws himself headfirst into each random viewer-submitted experiences he is faced with so as to critique it. Perhaps that’s a reach, given, you know, the basic boundaries of time and space, but there is a group of people out there-too few of them, I’m afraid-who I imagine would agree with me: people who wholeheartedly love Comedy Central’s most unjustly overlooked show. “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.” An ancient Chinese philosopher named Lao Tzu wrote that hundreds and hundreds of years ago, but I am pretty sure he had Review in mind when his quill met parchment (or whatever). ![]() ![]() ![]() HIGGINSON, Circuit Judge: On September 12, 2016, an employee of Excel Modular Scaffold & Leasing Company (“Excel”) was killed when a scaffold he was constructing collapsed into Galveston Bay in Texas City, Texas.

Finally, the court held that the ALJ's conclusion that the absence of a skiff exposed Excel's employees to a substantial probability of death or serious injury was amply supported by the record.Ĭase: 19-60067 Document: 00515214651 Page: 1 Date Filed: IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS Court of Appeals FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Fifth Circuit FILED No. Even if Excel had not abandoned its infeasibility defense, Excel had not met its burden of proving that it was entitled to the defense on the merits. The Fifth Circuit denied Excel's petition for review, holding that Excel repeatedly failed to preserve the affirmative defense of infeasibility, and the ALJ did not abuse its discretion by determining that it would have been prejudicial to the Secretary to allow Excel to pursue its infeasibility defense. The ALJ upheld the Commission's decision declining to conduct further review, and Excel petitioned for review. Excel contested the issuance of the citation charging the company with a serious violation of a regulation which required Excel to ensure the presence of a "lifesaving skiff" at all jobsites where employees were required to work over water. After an employee of Excel was killed when a scaffold he was constructing collapsed into Galveston Bay, OSHA conducted an investigation into the incident and issued Excel a number of safety citations. ![]() ![]() ![]() The sale offering is made subject to errors, omissions, change of price, prior sale, or withdrawal without notice.

This was a tall order, given that the predominant type of submarines built at the end of World War I (the S-class) did not have the surface speed or endurance to make a long trans-Pacific transit and stay ahead of the battle fleet. ![]() The interwar force was charged with supporting the rest of the Navy by scouting ahead of the battle fleet and skirmishing with the enemy, presumably in the Western Pacific Ocean. But as we enter an age of limited budgets and tough choices about what weapon systems are truly necessary, the Submarine Force is going to be pushed to strongly consider cheaper alternatives like the SSK.Ĭonsequently, it’s worth reviewing how the interwar Submarine Force, faced with similar choices regarding limited tonnage and funding, determined the right characteristics and produced the fleet submarine that won the decisive undersea campaign in World War II. Freeman’s opposition to the small submarines proved prophetic: The 800-ton (surfaced displacement) USS MACKEREL (SS-204) and MARLIN (SS-205) proved to be utterly unsatisfactory for operations and ended up as training vessels during World War II.įreeman’s words could have been written today by almost any career submariner in response to the frequent argument, made on an annual basis in the pages of PROCEEDINGS, about adopting conventional attack submarines (SSKs). this command believes that our energies should be concentrated on the development and perfection of a single type submarine sufficiently flexible to carry out any of the duties as outlined by our war plans. In other words, this experimentation has not represented an objective search for a large submarine or a small submarine as such, but a seeking for the submarine to fit our special requirements, much as we have sought after a battleship type and a destroyer type to meet the needs of the fleet. While it is true that we have some very large and some very small submarines, this is the result of prolonged experimentation to determine the size most adaptable to our needs. Leahy, the Chief of the Naval Operations: In response, Freeman wrote to Admiral William D. Despite a decade of development on the Navy’s fleet submarine, some senior naval officers still insisted on building smaller, cheaper, but far less capable versions. Navy’s Submarine Force faces tighter budgets, it could learn a thing or two from solutions that surfaced from an informal Submarine Officers Conference in the 1920s.

The BaseElements plugin is a free and open source plugin, available to everyone to extend the built in functions of FileMaker Pro.
