In 1984, a Californian entrepreneur named Robert Grebler requested the ability to import and distribute Jenga throughout Canada. The very first sets of Jenga were produced by the Camphill Village Trust in Yorkshire. She first exposed the world to Jenga at the London Toy Fair in January of 1983 and had it sold through, Leslie Scott Associates. Leslie Scott was originally from the United Kingdom and moved to West Africa as an adult.

![]() Now you can move files and folders around in the file system and that includes the Chrome OS files app if you have shared your Downloads folder with Linux. Do this by executing the following commands in the terminal, one at a time. Next, you will open Nemo with elevated permissions using the sudo command. This is due to the containerized nature of Linux on Chrome OS. First, you will need to give the package access to the host. If you know what you’re doing and you want to open Nemo with root privileges, you’ll have to do so from the terminal. This information is necessary if you want to edit files or move them from the terminal. Let’s say you’re looking for the executable command for Nemo, open the file manager, and search “nemo.” You can then quickly identify which folder it lives in and where that folder is nested. If you need to point the terminal to a specific file but don’t know where it is, open Nemo and start poking around. For the general user, Nemo can be very useful in helping you find where your Linux files are installed. So, what can you do with your new Linux files manager? That’s a very good question. Alternatively, you can launch the file manager by typing nemo in the Linux terminal and hitting enter. Once the installation is complete, you should have a new app in your launcher called “files” that has the Linux penguin as the icon. This will take a few minutes so go grab some coffee or a snack. ![]() When prompted, select “y” and enter to execute the installation. Open your Linux terminal on your Chromebook, paste the installation command and hit enter. Nemo can be found in the Debian 10 repository and you can install it with one simple command that you can find below. Nemo is a fork of the popular Nautilus file manager and is the official file manager for the Cinnamon desktop built for Linux Mint. After testing out three more managers, I landed on Nemo. Icons frequently failed to load and click down into a folder often caused the app to crash entirely. While I like what Thunar offers, it didn’t play well in the Linux container. I first looked to Thunar which is a very popular package used on a variety of distros. While there are many to choose from, I’ve tested a handful of popular file managers to see which one worked best on my Chromebook. The Linux container on Chrome OS is built on Debian 10, a.k.a Buster and the onboard repository happens to host a number of file managers that users can install directly from the Linux terminal. ![]() Thankfully, most Linux distros have some form of a file manager to help you out. If you don’t know where to look, you’re pretty much out of luck. A prime example is when you need to navigate to a specific folder in the Linux container in order to edit a file or perhaps move stuff around. However, users like myself that are still learning their way around the “secondary” Chromebook operating system can use a little help finding exactly where stuff exacts. For Linux old-timers, navigating the file system from the terminal is a breeze. Linux, on the other hand, may feel a bit daunting if you’re trying to see where your files and folders are living. You can find your downloads, create new folders, access Google Drive and manage your Android storage. The Files app in Chrome OS is clean, simple, and does exactly what it needs to. ![]() The first letter to The Times regarding Su Doku was published the following day on November 13 from Ian Payn of Brentford, complaining that the puzzle had caused him to miss his stop on the tube. Knowing that British newspapers have a long history of publishing crosswords and other puzzles, he promoted Sudoku to The Times in Britain, which launched it on Novem(calling it Su Doku). Over six years, he developed a computer program to produce unique puzzles rapidly. In 1997, Hong Kong judge Wayne Gould saw a partly completed puzzle in a Japanese bookshop. It is now published in mainstream Japanese periodicals, such as the Asahi Shimbun. In 1986, Nikoli introduced two innovations: the number of givens was restricted to no more than 32, and puzzles became "symmetrical" (meaning the givens were distributed in rotationally symmetric cells). "Sudoku" is a registered trademark in Japan and the puzzle is generally referred to as Number Place ( ナンバープレース, Nanbāpurēsu) or, more informally, a shortening of the two words, Num(ber) Pla(ce) ( ナンプレ, Nanpure). The name was later abbreviated to Sudoku (数独), taking only the first kanji of compound words to form a shorter version. The puzzle was introduced in Japan by Maki Kaji ( 鍜治 真起, Kaji Maki ), president of the Nikoli puzzle company, in the paper Monthly Nikolist in April 1984 as Sūji wa dokushin ni kagiru ( 数字は独身に限る), which can be translated as "the digits must be single", or as "the digits are limited to one occurrence" (In Japanese, dokushin means an "unmarried person"). Whether or not Garns was familiar with any of the French newspapers listed above is unclear. He died in 1989 before getting a chance to see his creation as a worldwide phenomenon. Garns' name was always present on the list of contributors in issues of Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games that included Number Place and was always absent from issues that did not. The modern Sudoku was most likely designed anonymously by Howard Garns, a 74-year-old retired architect and freelance puzzle constructor from Connersville, Indiana, and first published in 1979 by Dell Magazines as Number Place (the earliest known examples of modern Sudoku). These weekly puzzles were a feature of French newspapers such as L'Écho de Paris for about a decade, but disappeared about the time of World War I. Although they were unmarked, each 3×3 subsquare did indeed comprise the numbers 1–9, and the additional constraint on the broken diagonals led to only one solution. It simplified the 9×9 magic square puzzle so that each row, column, and broken diagonals contained only the numbers 1–9, but did not mark the subsquares. On July 6, 1895, Le Siècle 's rival, La France, refined the puzzle so that it was almost a modern Sudoku and named it carré magique diabolique ('diabolical magic square'). It was not a Sudoku because it contained double-digit numbers and required arithmetic rather than logic to solve, but it shared key characteristics: each row, column, and subsquare added up to the same number. ![]() Le Siècle, a Paris daily, published a partially completed 9×9 magic square with 3×3 subsquares on November 19, 1892. Number puzzles appeared in newspapers in the late 19th century, when French puzzle setters began experimenting with removing numbers from magic squares. ![]() newspaper, and then The Times (London), in 2004, thanks to the efforts of Wayne Gould, who devised a computer program to rapidly produce unique puzzles.įrom La France newspaper, July 6, 1895: The puzzle instructions read, "Use the numbers 1 to 9 nine times each to complete the grid in such a way that the horizontal, vertical, and two main diagonal lines all add up to the same total." Predecessors ![]() However, the modern Sudoku only began to gain widespread popularity in 1986 when it was published by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli under the name Sudoku, meaning "single number". The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution.įrench newspapers featured variations of the Sudoku puzzles in the 19th century, and the puzzle has appeared since 1979 in puzzle books under the name Number Place. In classic Sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9 × 9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3 × 3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", or "regions") contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. Sudoku ( / s uː ˈ d oʊ k uː, - ˈ d ɒ k-, s ə-/ Japanese: 数独, romanized: sūdoku, lit.'digit-single' originally called Number Place) is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. ![]() Unlike other games with bidding, bids don't need to be higher than the last one.

Total up your and your partner's bids to see how many tricks you must take so you don't lose points.Ī player wins a trick by getting the highest card that matches the suit of the first card that was played. Bids must be between 0 and 13, and the person to the dealer's left gets to go first. The most popular arrangement is by suits.Įach player looks at their hand and bids how many tricks they think they can rack up. The players pick up their cards and arrange them any way they'd like. Once a card leaves a player's hand, they can't undo the move unless they correct their mistake before the next person puts a card down. The deal proceeds in a clockwise fashion. The dealer hands out 13 cards one at a time, starting with the person on the dealer's left. After the dealer thoroughly shuffles the cards, the person sitting to the dealer's right cuts the deck. The person with the high card gets the job. Choose who'll be the dealer by having everyone randomly select a card. Grab a deck of 52 cards and remove the jokers.

After releasing several mixtures, he launched his first studio album in 2017, which went on to become a commercial and critical success. ![]() One of the songs from his debut album, “Beamer Boy,” subsequently became a smash hit and made Lil Peep famous all over America. Due to not finding the right record label, and he launched his debut album over the internet. He released his first mixtape in 2015, dubbed “Lil Peep: Part 1”. Lil Peep started his music career aged 17 in Los Angeles. Consequently, he expressed himself via his lyrics and constantly looked like a loner and manic depressive lad. Naturally, this had an adverse effect on Peep’s identity. His Mother and Father were graduates of Harvard University, but they divorced when Peep was a teenager. Gustav Elijah Ahr, popularly known as Lil Peep, was an American rapper, singer, and songwriter, famously known for his first studio album dubbed “ Come Over When You Are Sober.” The rapper was one of the best artists of a hip-hop and rock style known as “post-emo revival.” The name “Cry Baby” contrasts sharply with its background since it’s written in tidy ornate handwriting.Ĭolor: The Lil Peep logo has a very minimalistic color scheme: black and white. The rapper’s name appears “scratched” with careless and uneven letters, which feature many short lines. It’s possible that Lil Peep invented the font himself since he was such a creative individual. The inscriptions on both the Lil Peep symbol of the album and the main logo use the same stylish font. Lil Peep had the same symbol tattooed on the top of his right eyebrow to remind himself of his childhood, in which he often whined and saw himself as a crybaby. It features a black-and-white bird image wrapped in a band named “Cry Baby.” The flying bird flaps its wings, with teardrops dripping from its eye.įont: The title of the Crybaby symbol is written in a stylish font that features decorative patterns. Symbol: The most famous Lil Peep cover belongs to the 4th Crybaby mixtape. The “i” and “e” appear lowercase, while the two Ls and Ps appear uppercase. The artist’s graphic has a handwritten nickname, and the letters’ cases are hard to figure out. His new stage name had some nostalgia about it since he used to be called “Peep” by his mother while growing up. He then decided to change his stage name to Lil Peep in 2015 when he released his first mixtape dubbed Lil Peep: Part One. The current Lil Peep logo didn’t appear right away since Lil Peep was making music under the stage name Trap Goose early on in his career. As a result, the rapper and songwriter started his fashion style and promoted openness, honesty, and freedom. Lil Peep was a real outlier in school-his face featured multiple drawings, and he dyed his mane pink to distance himself from a hostile society. The Lil Peep logo design looks like the tattoos that decorated the rap artist’s body. ![]() Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. A troll A king A witch (A frog that sings) Oh, once upon a time Magic spells, wishing wells, magic beans a boy could sell A handsome prince, an evil queen Clothes no one has ever seen Ugly ducks.

You want people to be able to download your program (and pay you for that privilege), but it takes a lot of server power to support 1 GB downloads for large numbers of users. More than that, it’s a lot of data to download. ![]() That’s a lot of data to take up on a storage drive. Let’s say you write a program for Windows computers that is 1 GB large. This is a technique that helps with both storing and sharing data. Let’s take a closer look at compressing files. So, an archiving format allows you to fit more information on your computer.īringing this back to ZIP, it’s an archiving format that is designed for Windows, and. I’ll explain more about this in the next section, but when a computer compresses files, those files take up less digital space. The point of all of this is that archiving formats allow for the compression of files. The walls aren’t all there, but because houses are mostly framed using the same rules, you can figure out how the house is organized.Īrchiving formats do this but on the scale of computerized precision. It’s kind of like how you can figure out where all of the bedrooms are supposed to be in a house once it is framed. This blueprint allows the archiving format to actually reconstruct lost data when a file is missing pieces of its own information. Of course, that answer brings up as many questions as it does explanations, so let’s really get into this for a moment.Īrchiving formats are very useful things for computers.Įssentially they are extremely specific sets of instructions that dictate how a file is organized.īy keeping the file organization so strict, an archiving format basically makes it so that every file made using the format follows a specific blueprint. zip file is any file made using the ZIP archiving format.

How can a bunch of crooks swipe a bunch of paintings right off the walls? There’s no need: they’re all fakes. While Nolte plans to act as a decoy playing high stakes black jack on the big night, his fellow crooks will swipe the casino’s priceless collection of Picassos, Manets, and Gaugins. Planned for the eve of the Grand Prix, the plot is to lift priceless paintings from a fancy casino. With his cronies in tow, Bob plans two robberies, one fake and one real, one covering for the other. Nevertheless, Bob has a “reputation” as a gambler and a crook, and he is enticed into a double heist plot that will hopefully take him out of his losing streak. It’s hard to tell, however, whether his perspiration is due to his focused concentration or whether it results from wearing a heavy, black leather jacket in the middle of balmy Monte Carlo. Of course, Nolte deserves some credit for working so hard, even if all he works up is a sweat. But as he writhes and groans, handcuffed to his own bed, all that his overacting induces is eye rolls. He tries to be the brooding-but-angelic tough guy, and we’re supposed to feel pathos when he undergoes torturous heroin withdrawal. ![]() In the film, Nick Nolte plays Bob Matagnet, a retired junkie gambler, or as he calls himself, “a big loser, that’s all.” Nolte slumps through the film, squinting through the bloodshot slits that are his eyes.
