![]() Later that year, Apple would announce that they were buying NeXT for over twice that amount ($425 million USD). Gambling on a new technology, the company low-balled an offer of only $125 million USD, which Be executives refused. employees, Apple wasn’t so set on the deal. The object-oriented BeOS did everything Apple wanted the new Mac OS to do, and more. Now on the lookout for outside sources for their next operating system, Apple showed interest in acquiring Be Inc., which was rapidly gaining notoriety as a company pioneering new desktop computing paradigms. By 1996, after missed deadlines and dysfunctional management, the project was deemed unviable and was cancelled. The company invested efforts into the development of a successor, codenamed Copland, to be released as System 8. In 1994, Apple’s System 7 was showing its age. This connector was an experimental electronic-development oriented port, featuring power pins, two bi-directional 8-bit lanes and D/A and A/D converters, doing its name rightful justice. ![]() On top of that, it offered interfaces no other home computer at the time had as standard: two MIDI I/O ports, multiple line-level audio channels and a connector dubbed “Geekport”. To emphasize the innovation of having two distinct processor cores, the front of its creatively-shaped case had two stacks of LEDs called “Blinkenlights”, each one of them displaying the current load of each CPU. The BeBox finally debuted in October 1995, sporting a dual-PowerPC architecture clocked at 66 MHz each, with 133 MHz models following a year later. A PowerPC BeBox, including the Blinkenlights at the lower left and right of the case. quickly shifted its development to a PowerPC-based system instead, which would become the BeBox we know today. However, since AT&T stopped the production of the chip, Be Inc. The Hobbit was a short-lived RISC processor specifically designed for the C language. In a time when dual-core computers were still a distant dream, the very first BeBox prototype was already being developed as a dual-processor AT&T Hobbit system. The main strength pushed by its developers was the multimedia support the platform offered: not only was the operating system designed in such a way that audiovisual formats were easy to work with, but also the hardware itself was built with a variety of I/O ports to accommodate such work. In a way, it was forward-thinking enough that if you look at a screenshot of it today you’d swear it was just any other modern Linux environment, ’90s graphical aesthetic aside. ![]() The features it introduced that were brand new at the time are now ubiquitous - things such as preemptive multitasking, journaling filesystems and an uncluttered desktop design. did.īeOS was, at the time, a foray into a new way of doing home computing. Meet The BeOS Could you imagine emailing someone a video file in 1995? Be Inc. They called it Be Inc, and their goal was to create a more modern operating system from scratch based on the object-oriented design of C++, using proprietary hardware that could allow for greater media capabilities unseen in personal computers at the time. He then also formed his own computer company with the help of another ex-Apple employee, Steve Sakoman. In 1990, Jean-Louis Gassée, who replaced Jobs in Apple as the head of Macintosh development, was also fired from the company. ![]() However, Jobs’ path wasn’t unique, and the history of computing since then could’ve gone a whole lot different. Apple then bought NeXT and their technologies and brought Jobs back as CEO once again. You’re likely familiar with the old tale about how Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple and started his own company, NeXT. ![]()

Note: the linked Reddit-post only mentions 20kSPM, but a benchmark was later run on a 30kSPM version that reached 70 UPS! Built in the editor it comprises out of 30 identical 1kSPM blocks to achieve 30kSPM. At the time biggest and most UPS efficient base ever built, surpassing Swolar's base by 10 kSPM, and in UPS optimization in Factorio 1.1. At the time it was likely the highest science per minute while maintaining the highest UPS megabase ever built. Shown is only one of 107 identical, fully contained, modules. Likely the of the biggest vanilla-ish megabase of the time. Accidental Chef: 10 Rockets Per Minute.This base has been extensively used for benchmarking by the Technical Factorio community. A beautiful and incredibly well designed 10 kSPM megabase using only trains, occasional bots, and no belts. SteveTrov: Monolithic Train Megabase 10 kSPM.Likely the fastest vanilla-ish base at the time. A beautiful belt-only megabase built with precision and finesse.

Using Compress on himself allows Atsuhiro to be carried anywhere, undetected. Compress also works as a way to dig through solid objects, making Atsuhiro pivotal for escaping and infiltrating enclosed areas. In another offensive manner, Atsuhiro uses his Quirk to selectively compress only one part of a person's body, severely maiming, or sometimes, killing them. Thanks to Atsuhiro's creativity and ingenuity, he is able to take advantage of the deactivation property of his Quirk to affect the environment around him, like placing a marble holding a compressed large rock below a car, and then launch the vehicle into mid-air through the marble's decompression process. If Atsuhiro has marbles containing certain compressed objects, he can use those as a way to obstruct the path of enemies, by throwing said marbles in his adversaries' direction and returning the objects to their original size. It is primarily useful when it comes to setting traps.

On the negative side, in an illegitimate appeal to emotion, there is typically an attempt to arouse, say, fear or pity, and then to use these emotions to obscure or short-circuit reason. This can be accomplished, for example, by its revealing an arguer’s unanalyzed presumptions or by its opening up a new and valuable line of argumentation that prompts critical questioning that steers the argument in a constructive way. Contrary to the common assumption that arguments based on emotion are not rational, the view advocated here is that an emotional appeal can be reasonable and appropriate if it furthers the legitimate goals of the discussion. A legitimate appeal to emotion, then, is one that contributes to the proper goals of a dialogue. ![]() The goal of a critical discussion is to resolve a conflict of opinions by means of rational argumentation. This is a type of persuasion dialogue, in which the goal of each party is to persuade the other party to accept some designated proposition, using as premises only propositions that the other party has accepted as commitments. A type of dialogue discussed by Walton that is particularly applicable to the film “12 Angry Men” is the “critical discussion” dialogue. A dialogue is an exchange of speech acts between two or more arguers in turn-taking sequence aimed at a collective goal. ![]() To support this view, a brief discussion of current argument theory is needed to form the theoretical foundation for the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate emotional appeals that this paper defends.Īccording to argumentation theorists van Eemeren and his academic colleague Grootendorst (1984), as well as Walton (1992), who follow the pragma-dialectic framework, an argument is seen as a dynamic exchange, a sequence of pairs of speech acts carried out by the participants in a dialogue. While emotions, considered by themselves, may be thought of as having no truth value, in the context of certain types of dialogues, appeals to emotion can play legitimate and important roles. But this presents an oversimplified view it assumes that arguments are only about facts rather than sentiment, or that the two can always be clearly distinguished. Sincerity and intensity, they hold, are aspects of only the personal dimension of an argument evidence and truth alone belong to the objective, public dimension. Some critical thinking textbook authors view the emotions as lacking truth value, arguing that they are neither true nor false even when they are sincerely or intensely felt. Their roles must be either a supportive one or make a positive contribution to the goal of critical dialogue. Would we bother to argue at all if we did not have some feelings about things and events? Could we be critical thinkers at all if we didn’t care deeply about clarity, precision, fairness, accuracy and other intellectual standards? It’s not that emotions have no legitimate part to play, but that all alone they cannot be the sole basis for an argument. ![]() What is the legitimate role of emotion in argument?

I'll walk you through how to make whipped lemonade before summer 2021 melts into the history books. Much to my pleasant surprise, Whipped Lemonade was super easy to make - so let's get into it. My 12-year-old niece is a regular on TikTok and she first clued me in on this fun frozen drink trend, as she so often does. You can make your whipped lemonade with booze - tequila and whiskey are my most popular picks - or serve it up with kid-friendly flavors like fruit or a packet of Kool-Aid. Whipped lemonade recipes abound and the basic recipe lends itself to all sorts of creative interpretation which is probably why all those creative TikTokers fell in love with the stuff. I'd argue that whipped lemonade is even more refreshing and summer-centric than dalgona and it's kid-friendly to boot. Whipped lemonade may give you flashbacks to the dalgona coffee craze a caffeinated whipped coffee drink that originated in South Korea and then captured the world's attention during the start of lockdown last year. We've got a whipped lemonade recipe that's fool-proof and best of all, you can tinker with it to add your favorite summer flavors like mint, berries and vodka. If you haven't made the frothy, creamy, sweet and tart drink just yet, there's still plenty of time. This lemon cream will last about 2 days in the fridge before the smell of cauliflower strengthens and begins to overpower the flavour so I recommend making it just a few hours before serving.Whipped lemonade is a tasty frozen beverage that came on strong this summer via TikTok and other social networks and it appears to have staying power too. I often find myself eating the majority of it be the spoonful straight from the fridge, its incredibly addicting. I love dipping fresh fruit into it, but you could add a layer of it into a parfait or serve it on top of a dessert. Lemon cream can be used in so many different ways. If you aren’t a fan of lemon, you could add in a different flavouring such as chocolate or coffee, but I love the fresh zesty taste that the citrus adds. ![]() The cream is deliciously smooth and airy, just like traditional whipped cream, with a much lighter consistency then coconut whip. The idea of steamed cauliflower in dessert can be a hard one to get over, so I recommend keeping that detail to yourself because absolutely no one will ever guess what its made of. The good news is that 1 cup of steamed cauliflower contains just 25 calories and 0.1grams of fat so you can eat this lemon cream with zero guilt! Just how high is high? One cup of coconut cream contains over 790 calories and 83grams of fat. Nope, this stuff tastes, looks and feels just like whipped cream, which would make for an extremely boring recipe, if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s actually made of cauliflower.Ĭoconut cream has always been my go to dairy free whip to serve with desserts and dip fresh fruit in, but it is very high in calories. That’s not because the dish is elaborate, fancy or an amazing combination of flavours. ![]() It’s a bold statement, but this is my favourite recipe on the site. ![]() Luscious Vegan Lemon Cream looks and tastes like whipped cream but is made with cauliflower!
