![]() You’ve discovered how easy it is to add a new site. So you’ve taken the plunge and installed a copy of Flywheel Local. 2017 update: Now that Flywheel Local is free, there’s really no reason not to try it out! How to migrate a site If you’re a loyal DesktopServer user, you may be happy to wait and see. But unless they move away from a XAMPP setup (which is possible) it will be an all or nothing affair – no hot-swapping of PHP versions. ServerPress have mentioned that DesktopServer will support PHP7 in v4 (although nobody knows when that will be). If things don’t quite work just yet, simply swap the environment back to 5.x and carry on working on the site until it does. ![]() PHP7 gives a significant performance boost to most WordPress sites and compatibility issues are becoming fewer by the day.Īlthough WordPress core is fully PHP7 compatible, there are still some plugins out in the wild that might not be.įlywheel Local gives you the ability to quickly and easily test your site locally in a PHP7 environment. There are plenty of hosts offering it at the time of writing and more will follow. PHP7 will almost certainly become the de-facto PHP version for serving WordPress in the near future. In that case, there is one overriding reason you should choose Flywheel Local: PHP7. If you’re a DesktopServer user and are considering Flywheel Local, I’m assuming you have no interest in Vagrant / VVV (and the configuration headaches that come with it). It’s another benefit of the virtualisation technology that powers Flywheel Local. If you went through the pain of moving from XAMPP/MAMP to DesktopServer, you will appreciate what a boon this is. As long as your development URLs don’t clash between the two apps, they will happily run at the same time. One last thing to note: Flywheel Local and DesktopServer can run side-by-side. If you have a hundred local sites, that adds up. However, each site in Flywheel Local seems to be about 100mb bigger than the equivalent site in DesktopServer. This is mainly due to VirtualBox being installed too. If you already have VirtualBox, that won’t be so much of an issue. The virtualised containers should also work in Flywheel Local’s favour here.įlywheel Local takes up more HD space than DesktopServer. No doubt a lot of that is due to PHP7, but I haven’t experienced any of the random, temporary slowdowns you sometimes get with DesktopServer. ![]() Starting DesktopServer, only to have to immediately restart it has always driven me bonkers!įlywheel Local feels quicker. It also handles permissions in a much saner way than DesktopServer. Other notesįlywheel Local’s UI is much cleaner, with a great notification system that uses MacOS’s in-built notifications. However, because each site is containerised, and you can hot-swap the server software and the PHP version (although not the MySQL version as far as I know) the risk of all sites going down is minimal. And because all sites run on the same Apache/MySQL instance (and you can’t change the PHP version) if one site breaks, they all break.įlywheel Local’s updates are untested as it’s still new. Historically, DesktopServer updates have been known to trash a local dev environment. To update DesktopServer, you have to download the latest version from your ServerPress account and run an installer.įlywheel Local updates from within the app and can be set to autoupdate. gitignore.)īypass login, airplane mode, local admin colour bar ✔ (Called Blueprints, no control over files included / ignored. ✔ (Lets you control which files are included / ignored.)

This is a how-to, not a review, but I’ll give you a quick run-down on the differences between DesktopServer and Flywheel Local. It never pays to rest on your laurels! DesktopServer vs Flywheel Local Out of nowhere, Pressmatic (now Flywheel Local – see the update notice above) has arrived on the scene and delivered pretty much everything that ServerPress have been promising for DesktopServer 4.0. However, we’ve been waiting a long time for v4.0 (come on guys!) And now there’s a new kid on the block. The Musket developer theme framework of which I’m the author, is built around a quick-to-deploy DesktopServer Blueprint. I’ve long recommended DesktopServer as my preferred local development server. And they’ve gone and made it free! They’ve changed the name to Flywheel Local. I’ve updated the article below to take into account the acquisition.

The very best products receive AAA certification others may be certified at the AA, A, B, or C level. Trying to come as close as possible to real-world conditions, the experts at SE Labs (Opens in a new window) capture drive-by downloads and other web-based attacks, using a replay system to hit each tested product with the exact same attack. Note, though, that in the latest test 10 products managed a perfect 18-point score. Kaspersky Security Cloud Free also took 17.5 points. AVG precisely matched that score.Ī total of 17.5 points is high enough for AV-Test to designate both Avast and AVG as Top Products. It came close in performance, with 5.5 points. Avast took six points for usability, meaning it didn't erroneously flag valid programs or websites as malicious, and six more points for malware protection. With six points possible in each category, the maximum score is 18 points. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, ESET, G Data, and Kaspersky also took Advanced+ in all three tests.ĪV-Test Institute (Opens in a new window) reports on antivirus capabilities in three areas: protection, performance, and usability.

The analysts at AV-Comparatives (Opens in a new window) perform a variety of security tests, of which we follow four. Three of them include AVG in their latest reports as well. We follow four independent testing labs that regularly release reports on their results, and all four routinely include Avast. With a free antivirus that doesn't bring in any income, a company might be tempted to avoid the expense of testing. The company does benefit a high score gives it bragging rights, while if the score is poor, the lab helps the company work through what went wrong. You might not realize this, but in most cases antivirus companies pay for the privilege of having products tested by the independent labs. There's precedent for this behavior- Microsoft Windows Defender Security Center does something similar. To avoid conflicts, it disables all real-time scanning and other active protection. If you install another antivirus, Passive Mode kicks in automatically. Avast takes pains to avoid interfering with other antivirus tools. After you reach into settings and enable Passive Mode.

That seems to be gone, replaced by a Personal Privacy page in Settings. The previous version included a full page devoted to explaining how Avast uses your nonpersonal data, and how you can opt out if you wish.

If a doctor tells you to just stop eating gluten and see if you feel better or tells you to go to a dietitian – get another doctor. If you are considering postponing testing, please take a few moments to read: If You Are Considering Postponing Testing. The alternative to taking an endoscopy is just staying off gluten. As noted above, keep in mind that you have to continue to eat gluten for the endoscopy test to be meaningful. If the tests come up negative even though your symptoms indicate that you have celiac disease, be proactive and push your doctor to order an endoscopy. Also include the date and possible causes. If you get symptoms close to a time when you are aware that you ingested gluten, include the date, a description of the symptom, and the severity.

This is not a good idea for a variety of reasons. Given an awareness that gluten may be causing the symptoms you are having, people have been known to consider just stopping eating gluten – without testing or a diagnosis. In those rare cases a patient must have tTG elevated more than ten times normal and a positive EMA at a second time point. Only in rare cases is a diagnosis of celiac disease made without a biopsy obtained through an endoscopy. If the endoscopy does not indicate celiac disease, then you have gluten intolerance. If the blood test indicates celiac disease, the next step is an endoscopy - the gold standard for testing for the presence of celiac disease. It may be possible to shorten the period of time.) A gluten challenge involves eating a minimal amount of gluten for a prescribed period of time before testing.ĭuring the challenge, you cannot stop eating gluten, no matter how difficult that is (If the challenge is really difficult for you, let your physician know.

At the time of the review, Enigmo 2 is only $2.99, making it an absolute must buy, assuming you don't have to spend another $200 fixing the screen after a bout of anger. I promise that a 10 year old Chris Hall would have thrown the iPhone into a wall, regardless of how much trouble I would've gotten into. The game is definitely kid-friendly, as long as you don't let your kid play too long. If you are weak of mind/ have little patience/ have children, I would definitely try a different game. Overall, I'd say that Enigmo 2 is a must have experience for any veteran puzzle solver/Enigmo fan. I tried turning off the sound and listening to my own music, but anything more angry than Nick Drake will certainly make you want to go insane. ![]() The sound is also a nice and calming, lulling you to be half as mad as you really should be. ![]() The outer space background also provides a nice, uncluttered background for the madness before you. Along with the structures, the effects of some of the substances, particularly the lasers and the plasma, are really nice on the eyes. Being 3D, the graphics have quite a bit more depth than they did on the first game. I just want you to grasp this.Īside from the puzzle aspect, the game is really quite pretty. Once again, just to pound this into your head, each level, all 50 of them, is entirely in 3D. As mentioned earlier, each of these items can now be rotated in 3D, giving you depth (or infinite frustration) that you definitely didn't have in the first Enigmo. As early as level 6, there is this button that changes the gravity of an area, making things go up instead of down. Each level gives you a certain amount of items to move the substances around with, including great items such as drums, mirrors, and slides, along with some triggers on the walls that must be hit for certain things to happen. The goal of the game, just like the original, is to get whatever substance you have (water, lasers, or plasma) into its corresponding receptacle, which is probably hidden behind a shield or a wall. Its almost necessary to view everything from all angles, just so you know you get the right part in the right place. The puzzles themselves aren't really so different than those in the first Enigmo, other than the fact that you have full 3D control over placement, adding much added frustration to the experience. Each level is presented to you in outer space, with the puzzle spinning towards you like an out of control Mir Spacestation. I mean, I'm sure it is, but wrapping my head around the game is painful at times. It was hard as all get out, but you knew that, with the tools at your disposal, you could get the little water droplets to do your bidding.Įnigmo 2 is a bit different from the first Enigmo, because I'm never quite sure if my goal is even possible. The nice thing about Enigmo was that there were boundaries. It happened to me, so I'm sure it happened to you. People would play a few levels, get sucked in, and then cry themselves to sleep when they got stuck. In the beginning months of the App Store, Enigmo was a certified hit, making people that had no interest in the iPhone think twice. In 2003, Enigmo was the most popular game put out by Pangea because of its visual simplicity but ultimate vicious complexity. Most of their games are shooters of some variety, most of which are 3rd person 3D adventures, but they seemed to have struck gold with the Enigmo series. Pangea, the creators of Enigmo and Enigmo 2, have been making games for Apple computers for years, most (if not all) of which are ported onto your favorite iDevice. Enigmo 2 is the most cruel of all these puzzles because it throws things at you that just seem impossible.Ī little background first. ![]() You see a Sudoku puzzle, or even a game like Myst for that matter, and you know what you are getting. What's nice about puzzles is that you can take them at face value. There are typically boundaries and rules given to make the experience controlled, but still challenging. from 'paper' puzzles like crossword puzzles and Sudoku puzzles to digital puzzles like Tetris and Myst, they all make you think slightly outside the box. Typically puzzles involve some kind of order or knowledge. Nothing in the world drives me more insane that puzzles, because knowing that I can't solve something makes me just a tad bit insane. ![]() ![]() Open SourceLanguage Learning ToolMacWindowsLinux2 alternatives to azure pronunciation assessment The Speech SDK supports pronunciation assessment, which assesses the pronunciation quality of speech input, with indicators of accuracy, fluency, completeness, etc.ELSA is.Learn more about ELSA SpeakELSA Speak info, screenshots & reviewsAlternatives to ELSA Speak11 FiltersOnlineiPhoneLanguage LearningFreeOpen SourceShow more filters 2azure pronunciation assessmentIs this a good alternative?

It was a big success, and the dealership departments started to understand and cooperate with each other much more. Then, I instructed each department to share their types with the other departments. I asked people in each department to determine their individual personality types, and then to categorize the personalities of their teams. Here, my main source of insight was the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), as it transcends cultural differences and seems applicable in any region of the world. To get everyone working better together, I began studying personality types, prepared a presentation on them, and started giving seminars to dealerships jointly with these departments. ![]() And people in the Service department like working with their hands, and quite often alone. ![]() People in the Parts department like working with inventory numbers rather than people, as they forecast future demand.
