![]() Today, ultrabooks such as Toshiba's own Z835 offer slimmer bodies for around the same price or just a bit more. Previously, you'd have to spend a lot more on something like a MacBook Air or a Samsung Series 9 in order to get a thinner 13-inch laptop. This is still a smart-looking consumer/business crossover laptop, but it also keeps the one visual element we disliked last time: the chromed screen hinges, which just look cheap. The bottom half of the body feels sturdy despite its light weight, but there's a bit of flex in the lid. The R835 has a subtle dark blue tint to its brushed-metal magnesium alloy chassis. Many of those earlier observations stand, but the recent ultrabook trend changes the expectations of what a slim midpriced 13-inch laptop should look and feel like, leaving the R835 looking chunky (but still feeling very light in the hand). Physically, this version of the Toshiba Portege R835 is identical to previous models we've reviewed. But if you're willing to trade some portability for features and a great price, the scrappy little Toshiba Portege R835 remains one of our go-to laptop picks. If you're looking for the thinnest and lightest 13-inch around, take the same money and put it toward an under-$1,000 ultrabook. While most retailers have this system listed at between $850 and $950, it's currently available on NewEgg for $699, which is an excellent deal. ![]() This specific configuration, the R835-P88, has 6GB of RAM, a big 640GB HDD, and includes features missing from most ultrabooks, such as an optical drive and Intel's Wireless Display technology. The R835 now feels big and a little bulky compared to the 20mm-or-less 13-inch ultrabooks from Dell, HP, and even Toshiba's own Z835, which are all available for around $899-$999 for a similar Intel Core i5 configuration, but with a 128GB SSD instead of the R835's standard platter hard drive.īut despite not being the newest or sexiest 13-inch laptop around, the Portege R835 still comes off as an excellent full-featured 13-inch laptop. Microsoft® Windows Live Essentials including Photo Gallery, Messenger, Mail, Writer and Movie Maker.But since we reviewed the last version of the R835, a seismic shift in 13-inch laptops has occurred, thanks to the growing popularity of the ultrabook.

![]() ![]() While roaming the world of The Witcher 3, there was always something going on at every corner and every turn. But it does the RPG thing so incredibly well. Yes, you kill monsters, loot valuables and materials, craft weapons and armor, you level Geralt up, pour points into a skill tree, and he becomes even more ridiculously badass. That’s what’s so fantastic about The Witcher 3. It makes for a very compelling experience, really, as the game puts you right into the shoes of a witcher each time you encounter a wandering monster. The key to winning fights is knowing when to cast Signs and when to parry. Igni has him throw fire at his enemies, while Quen casts an explosive, protective shield over his body. Sustaining injuries during combat is dangerous as even with the help of a handy Swallow Potion, your health regenerates very slowly, and it can be easy to get overwhelmed by your foes.Īs a witcher, Geralt also has various Signs at his disposal which allow him to cast several types of magic to give him an edge in battle. The combat in The Witcher 3 feels polished and refined even on normal or easy difficulty, players have to think tactically and consider their enemies’ positions before deciding whether to strike or parry. Still, it’s a good change of pace after hours upon hours of playing as the slower, though tankier, witcher of Rivia. ![]() The tradeoff is that she’s a lot weaker, and she can’t use any of the fancy Signs that Geralt has. Unlike Geralt, Ciri’s a lot faster on her feet and she can reach her foes much quicker than he can. Playing as Ciri also allows you to fight enemies a little differently. You can even choose her sexual preferences – always a nice choice to have. Both options felt natural to Ciri’s character, and it’s up to the player how they want Ciri to be portrayed in the story. She could be open and friendly to the people she met, or she could be a little more reclusive. Getting to see specific events play out through the eyes of Ciri, who also bears a slight resemblance to Cara Delevingne ( Bad Blood, anyone?), and having a hand in choosing some of her dialogue options helped to further shape her as a strong character on her own. Thankfully, though, Ciri has more than enough character to stand on her own, and getting to take control of her during certain chapters was truly a joy. Oh, and the evil titular Wild Hunt is pursuing her. She’s the heir to the Nilfgaardian throne, she’s Geralt’s adopted daughter by way of the Law of Surprise, and she also happens to have extremely powerful magic that allows her to do some really crazy shit. Immediately, Ciri feels like a walking, talking plot device. In Wild Hunt, Geralt and his lost love Yennefer of Vengerberg (badass name) are tasked by Emhyr, the emperor of Nilfgaard, to find his adopted daughter Ciri. You play as Geralt of Rivia, the sexy white-haired beast of a man on the game’s cover, and he’s a witcher. Genies, threesomes, spoony bards, and sex atop a stuffed unicorn – what’s not to love about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? Playing the game to completion and seeing Geralt’s story through to the end has left me somewhat dazed, and writing this review feels more daunting than anything. From this difficulty level onwards, learning to master the right stick to avoid tacklers is essential. Jump the challenge up a notch to the inaptly named Amateur level, and a lot of that handholding is out the window. It’s probably the best difficulty to learn the controls, mechanics, and timing, however, creating the gameplay foundation for the offensive and defensive strategies that are essential on higher difficulties. It also dumbs down the opposing AI to the point that it makes you feel like a conscience-less A-grade player smashing through an Under 12s match. This mode is laughably easy, as the game takes care of defensive manoeuvres, with perfectly timed automated side-steps, goosesteps and fends. There are five difficulty levels in total, and those searching for an arcade experience will find the best match is the lowest one. Before stumbling on these tips, I was struggling to hold my own on the second-lowest difficulty level. Clicking through dozens of screens helped me wrap my head around new tactics and possibilities that weren’t covered anywhere else. Go the Doggies, etc.It took me a few hours to discover the best training was hidden in the help menu, albeit in static form. Make no mistake: timing is one of the most crucial components of Rugby League Live 3. There is a so-called training mode within the drills that can be toggled on or off, but the on-screen prompts are unfittingly matched with a slow-motion system that encourages bad habits more than it helps to perfect timing. Early on, most of my training came from tabbing through the loading screen tips. If you’re unfamiliar with the specific rules of rugby league, Rugby League Live 3 won’t teach you. These drills are gamified to the point where they’re more enticing for seasoned (or returning) players, rather than those learning the game mechanics for the first time. While there is some assisted training in Rugby League Live 3 by way of drills, these are limited to goal kicking, passing, tackling, and play-making. Like Don Bradman Cricket, Big Ant has little interest in holding the player’s hand. ![]() That’s also one of the initial hurdles to overcome. Rugby League Live 3 is certainly no exception to this. ![]() Anyone familiar with Big Ant’s most recent sports simulator, Don Bradman Cricket, will know the developer prides itself on digitising as many facets of the real-life sport as possible. When developer Big Ant Studios makes a sports simulator, it really takes the term ‘simulator’ seriously. ![]() The author in question accepted Dan's apology. Danny apologized for this on the Game Grumps Subreddit, and stated that the episode would be reuploaded with the author's information censored. This information caused the author to be harassed by Game Grumps fans, leading to the video being taken down.

Also, squirrely Qyburn is down in the lab whipping up the Seven Kingdom’s first anti-aircraft weapon like he can actually take down a dragon. With the help of her brother Jamie, the Lannisters have worked to convince the remaining loyal houses to fight against the Mad King’s daughter and her horde of terrifying Others. ![]() Up there on the pulpit spreading xenophobia and fear, Cersei was one “fake news” mention away from being president material by today’s standards. Cersei LannisterĬersei may have been born to politic. I’m not sure if this means that Arya is going to abandon her plans of going home now, realizing that’s “not her” anymore, or if she was trying respect the new life that her direwolf had forged just as she had been forced to do, but it was a sweet and nostalgic week for Lady Stark. Arya tries to persuade the giant wolf to come home with her, but then says “that’s not you,” a callback to a conversation she had with her father, when she replied to the potential future of being a common lady by saying “that’s not me.” She lets Nymeria go in another moment of self-discovery from the former faceless woman. It seems like the revenge tour is going to have to wait, until Arya runs into another old friend, her direwolf Nymeria. I think the only time Arya has gotten good news in seven seasons is when she found out that she wasn’t going to have to be blind forever, so our girl was pretty excited to hear this. Friends don’t pay, so our girl Arya gets to chow down on Hot Pie’s namesake and drink some ale all while getting compliments for being pretty, basically every girl’s dream, right? Oh, and Hot Pie delivers an absolute stunner of a newsflash, cluing in Arya to the fact that her brother Jon Snow has taken back Winterfell and has been named the King in the North. Yikes, it could only be Littlefinger.The Arya Stark Revenge Tour hit the old stomping grounds this week, returning to the inn where Arya’s closest friend in the whole world (don’t question it) Hot Pie works. How will the Hound's story play out? Will he be reunited with Arya? Who was Sansa writing her letter to, presumably asking for help. We have three episodes left in this season. But heaven help me if that Waif does not get her comeuppance I will jump into the screen and smother her with her orthopaedic sandals. Will Arya die? The preview for next week's suggests not. It is like her version of a walk of atonement but without Supreme Killjoy Septa Unella ringing a bell and intoning "Shame Shame" (please can she be allowed to do this again soon? Even if only as punishment for a dog who has done an errant poo or someone who put the wrong things in the recycling bin). Staring at every face in the city, she realises she cannot trust anyone. She then walks the streets, sodden and desperate as blood pours from her stomach. Like a medieval James Bond, Arya soon resurfaces gulping for air and scrabbling for shore. Satisfied with the lack of bubbles and the spread of blood in the water below, the Waif smirks and walks off. ![]() Not seen since the end of season four when Brienne of Tarth bit off his ear, punched his head with a rock and threw him off a cliff, he was never assumed dead as Arya spared finishing him off with Needle despite being his hostage. And, as the camera panned up, a familiarly disfigured face. Among them was a lone log-carrier, a hulk of a chap with enormous strength. Groups of men in honest, clean-living trousers carried logs to the site. In an unusual move, Game of Thrones delayed the familiar opening titles to spring straight into a sort of Kangaroo Valley hippie commune run by Ian McShane and a band of happy men and women in cheesecloth vests and dresses toiling with honest hands and healthy smiles as they built a church-like building in a green valley. Credit:HBO/Helen Sloanīut before this we were treated to the return of Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane, Margaery proving she is taking the High Sparrow for a ride, Lady Olenna's magnificent insults to Cersei and a tiny Mormont, with the mouth of an old general. Game of Thrones' The Broken Man sees The Hound return. You'll also pick up important patterns like using asynchronous messaging for interaction based on non blocking concurrency and model persistence, which delivers the speed of in-memory processing along with suitable guarantees of reliability. You will learn techniques that are radically different from the standard RDBMS based applications that are based on mutation of records. It uses the Akka framework as the reference implementation and demonstrates how advanced architectural patterns like event sourcing and CQRS can be put to great use in implementing scalable models. On the subject of reactive modeling, the book focuses on higher order concurrency patterns like actors and futures. The book demonstrates how advanced FP patterns like algebraic data types, typeclass based design, and isolation of side-effects can make your model compose for readability and verifiability. You will start with the basics of functional programming and gradually progress to the advanced concepts and patterns that you need to know to implement complex domain models. This books is recommended for machine learning practitioners, data scientists, statisticians and also for stakeholders deciding on the use of machine learning and intelligent algorithms.įrdomain - Code repo for Functional and Reactive Domain ModelingĬode repo for Functional and Reactive Domain Modeling.Functional and Reactive Domain Modeling teaches you how to think of the domain model in terms of pure functions and how to compose them to build larger abstractions. In an ideal future, machines will be able to explain their decisions and make a transition into an algorithmic age more human. The later chapters focus on analyzing complex models and their decisions. In the first chapter algorithms that produce simple, interpretable models are introduced together with instructions how to interpret the output. ![]() Did it learn generalizable features? Or are there some odd artifacts in the training data which the algorithm picked up? This book will give an overview over techniques that can be used to make black boxes as transparent as possible and explain decisions. As the programmer of an algorithm you want to know whether you can trust the learned model. An explanation increases the trust in the decision and in the machine learning model. Machine learning is being built into many products and processes of our daily lives, yet decisions made by machines don't automatically come with an explanation. This book is about interpretable machine learning. Interpretable-ml-book - Book about interpretable machine learningĮxplaining the decisions and behaviour of machine learning models. So, I wanted to create an online reference where people could come to learn specifically about this issue and why they might not actually need class syntax in JavaScript.
