9/13/2023 0 Comments Top carbon capture stocksBut that alone wasn’t enough to spare BEP and other clean energy stocks from the fallout earlier this year. At time of writing, shares are down more than 9% from their closing high of this year.Īs one of the leading global renewable power platforms, Brookfield Renewable Partners has a formidable footprint with over 5,300 generating facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Still, if you’re bullish on the rollout of alternative energy infrastructure, you should give NEE stock another look. However, the public latched onto the story, hurting NextEra and many other clean energy stocks. But it’s a bit disingenuous to heap so much blame there when myriad negative catalysts combined for a perfect storm. Certainly, frozen turbines don’t help as they represent a key component of Texas’ power source. Quickly, the finger pointing began and many critics like Carlson found a convenient target: frozen wind turbines. Tragically, many lost their lives as a combination of factors, including mismanagement, saw the power grid unable to cope with the unprecedented conditions. As you know, NEE stock began printing red ink around the time of the Texas winter storm. I might not make too many friends for saying this, but popular media voices like Tucker Carlson from Fox News may have contributed to the decline in NextEra Energy earlier this year. But if you’re a patient investor, the present discount in this space is well worth looking into. Therefore, clean energy stocks may not have the cleanest ride to profitability. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP)īefore we dive in, please note that the alternative energy sector - like most sectors - are subject to the whims of politics and public opinion.And to that end, you may want to consider these clean energy stocks for the long haul. So it might not happen right away but at some point in the future, we will likely see a cleaner, greener world. We won’t.Īt the same time, thanks in large part to electric vehicles (EVs), consumers are rethinking their fuel source. Whatever you do, though, don’t buy clean energy stocks thinking that we’ll go green overnight. Calls to replace combustion power with electric within a matter of years is too optimistic in my opinion. Though I’m no friend of the petroleum industry, fossil fuels feature high energy density: this is simply a scientific reality. Nevertheless, you want to tread carefully. Again, this bodes well for clean energy stocks. has an incentive to be the global leader in green solutions, not the laggard. For one thing, government agencies have produced ample data regarding climate change and the need to get on top of the problem. Though subject to vigorous debate, the issue here is that the rest of the world is moving toward alternative energy infrastructures. This would be welcome news for clean energy stocks, but big oil? Not so much. A contentious component of the proposal includes replacing subsidies for the fossil fuel industry with programs designed to incentivize the green energy sector, an initiative that falls under the president’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen released details regarding a proposed tax hike. Rather, President Joe Biden consistently talked about the need to address climate change, which has serious implications for energy stocks. Regarding the new administration, this didn’t just represent a changing of the guard from a rather strange time in U.S. As many pundits from across the political spectrum have stated, elections have consequences.

9/13/2023 0 Comments Universal control mac spring: Initializing Spring embedded WebApplicationContext You can view the logs for the application by running this command: $ heroku logs -tail You’ll see the “Hello World!” text in the browser. You can visit the app’s URL by running this command: $ heroku open It will run your app using the default command.Īll that said, the application is now deployed. It installed Java 8 by default, but you can easily configure this with a system.properties file as described in the Specifying a Java version Dev Center article. Heroku automatically detects the application as a Maven/Java app due to the presence of a pom.xml file. Remote: Default types for buildpack -> web Remote: Procfile declares types -> (none) Now deploy your code: $ git push heroku main You can rename it later with the heroku apps:rename command. Heroku generates a random name (in this case nameless-lake-8055)įor your app. This also creates a remote repository called heroku in Run this command: $ heroku createĬreating app. In order to deploy to Heroku, you’ll first need to provision a new Heroku app. It’s also possible to deploy using the Heroku Maven plugin, but this guide will focus on using Git and the Heroku CLI. You’ll deploy the app by pushing this Git repo to Heroku. Preparing a Spring Boot app for Herokuīefore you can deploy the app to Heroku, you’ll need to create a Git repository for the application and add all of the code to it by running these commands: $ git init You could run the application locally to confirm this, but we’ll jump straight to running it on Heroku. This creates a simple request mapping that displayed “Hello World!” in the browser. In file src/main/java/com/example/demo/DemoApplication.java write: package To add some behavior, open the src/main/java/com/example/demo/DemoApplication.java file and put the following code in it: The application does not have any custom logic by default – it’s just an empty template. Then move into the application directory: $ cd demo Use the CLI to create a new application by running this command: $ spring init -dependencies=web demo You can also start with a working sample app if you’d prefer. This will add a spring command to your path. To create a new Spring Boot application, first install the Spring Boot CLI as described in the Spring Boot documentation. › Warning: If browser does not open, visit Heroku: Press any key to open up the browser to login or q to exit Once installed, you can use the heroku command from the terminal to log in using the email address and password you used when creating your Heroku account: $ heroku login Then download and install the Heroku CLI. You can use either Maven or Gradle to deploy a Spring application on Heroku, but for this guide we’ll assume that you’re using Maven and have Maven 3 installed on your machine. The Spring Boot model of deploying standalone applications is a greatįit for Heroku. 9/13/2023 0 Comments Leetcode permutationGiven a zero-based permutation nums (0-indexed), build an array ans of the same. It is trivial to figure out that we can have the following six permutations: 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2. This is called the sliding window technique. This repo is a collection of coding problems from leetcode premium. A permutation describes an arrangement or ordering of items. When rolling over the next window, we can remove the left most element, and just add one right side element and change the remaining frequencies. So one thing we get hunch from here, this can be easily done in O(n) instead on any quadric time complexity. A curated list of leetcode questions grouped by their common patterns. C++ C Java Recursion Backtracking Depth-First Search String Bit Manipulation Breadth-First Search Iterator Bitmask Ordered Set Combinatorics Probability and Statistics Queue Array Dynamic Programming Stack Math Binary Search Tree Memoization Binary Tree. For each window we have to consider the 26 values to determine if the window is an permutation. Input: ABSG Output: ABGS ABSG AGBS AGSB ASBG ASGB BAGS. Input: ABC Output: ABC ACB BAC BCA CAB CBA Explanation: Given string ABC has permutations in 6 forms as ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA. Thus, the number of nodes in the tree is equal to the sum of the number of k-permutations, where k is in the range 1, n. The first level in the tree holds all 1-permutations, the second level holds all 2-permutations, and so on. If the frequencies are 0, then we can say that the permutation exists. The task is to print all unique permutations of the given string in lexicographically sorted order. A k-permutation of n is a permutation that doesnt use all nn n elements.

In any case, with a few hours to kill, I figured I’d start it up for some shits and giggles and play the story mode, having no inkling of the dark, fleshy journey through the bowels of my mind I was about to begin. It is hard for me to describe the complex, deep seated, almost primal feelings its image evokes in me. While largely discredited by modern psychology, I still think Freud may have been on to something with his focus on the phallus. I realized that the source of my inhibitions was buried deep inside my own psyche. While I was tempted to get Genital Jousting for a good laugh at parties, I wondered if I could bring myself to play it openly with all of my friends. It reminded me somewhat of the uncomfortability of watching The Wall’s flower scene with family one time, of course, that is a more of an erotic acid trip while Genital Jousting is more of a pre-teen dick joke.Īnyone who has played a round of Cards Against Humanity with me knows I’m far from a prude. Genital Jousting’s early access trailer, despite making me giggle like a 13 year old, admittedly gave me strange feelies in my stomach and small, disturbed twitches in my loins when I saw it a little over a year ago. Perhaps it may tell you something about my girlfriend that it is in her library, oh yes, she is a keep’er. One of those was Genital Jousting, a game I’d followed since early access (I’m a big fan of another Free Lives title, Broforce) and it was recently released this last January. So, turning on her computer, figured it would be an opportunity to play a few games in her Steam library that had never found their way into mine. The other day, she had a short shift at work so I figured I would wait for her at her house after I’d dropped her off. It is nice to be able to share a big passion of mine with my significant other, and I would count it as at least partially responsible for our compatibility. My girlfriend is a big gamer, probably a bigger gamer than myself. Warning: this post is a bit Not Safe For Work.

And the speech was then - the emphasis was on the excitement that we feel and then to also talk about, in particular, then what we can do to uplift a couple of specific areas of focus for me, in terms of the trip and going forward.Īnd so, one is the importance of digital inclusion, because let’s be clear, 21st century economies require digital inclusion for the economic empowerment of any one and all people. So, the speech I gave, as you know, was at the Black Star, at the monument, where independence is honored, and it’s about freedom and justice. No, this is about a partnership with the continent and its leaders, tapping into all that is there. And I wrote and delivered that speech with a very clear intention, which is to highlight the innovation and the excitement and the opportunity and the momentum that is happening there and what should be our engagement for so many, I think, at this point, obvious reasons.Īnd it was also in follow-up to the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit that we hosted here in December of last year, where our President, Joe Biden, made clear and said from a podium: The United States is all in on Africa.Īnd so it was my intention to reinforce that point and to explain what that means: “all in.” All in as a partner, not to - to go in with a sense of, like, this is about our benevolence. Not to mention the connection in terms of the diaspora and what that means in terms of the untapped yet - I think, in terms of maximized - power of the diaspora to participate in this partnership we have.Īnd so, all of that was the motivation for the trip and - and - as captured in the speech I gave our - our second full day there in Ghana. Not to mention what that continent has done to inform culture in so many ways around the globe. Not to mention the history and present innovation and ingenuity that is on that continent. Not to mention what is the intertwined history that we have and share with the continent. Think about what that means in terms of the opportunity, in terms of the future, in terms of the obvious fact, I believe, as evidenced by the demographics I’ve just shared, which is that what happens on that continent will impact the entire globe. By 2050, one in four people occupying space on Mother Earth will be on the continent of Africa. The median age on the continent of Africa is 19. And this trip to the continent of Africa was very much in line with that approach but with an incredible sense of optimism about what is happening on the continent. I have, at this point, met with over 100 world leaders, be they presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, or kings.Īnd in these meetings and in these travels, it is always with a sense of the responsibility that we have as the United States of America to be present, to be engaged with our allies, with our partners, with people with whom we have great interdependence and intersection in so many ways.Īnd so, I have traveled all over the world, practically. That being said - so, as Vice President of the United States, I have now traveled to many places around the world in my capacity as Vice President. I hope we can cover in this short time we all have together the layers of what that trip was and the nuances. THE VICE PRESIDENT: So, first of all, let me thank both of you for being such a big part of the trip. NABONGO: So, I think let’s start with how - or why did you decide to travel to the continent of Africa at this time. So, thank you for the invitation.Īnd I’m super excited to talk about what we learned on the continent about your goals for the continent, in partnership with the United States. So to receive that invitation was not only a huge honor, but, for me, I took it as a personal call to get more involved and understand what the country is doing on the continent. NABONGO: I’ve been to all 54 countries on the continent. (Laughter.) We have been country hopping.Īnd I have to say, for me, as someone - I’m an American-born Ugandan. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Just a few days ago probably. THE VICE PRESIDENT: The last time I saw you was in Ghana. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody.

Pillars of eternity is an Isometric RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment Inspired by classic CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate and Planescape Torment. The game has a "feel good" direction reminding me once again of those great JRPGs from the 90's and early 2000. One of the most amazing aspects of the game is it's art style, a blend of carefully animated 3D environments with very detailed pixel art characters is simply gorgeous. And the simplicity aforementioned is not a bad thing at all, the game is consistent and very solid focusing on what it does best. The gathering resources per say is a metroidvania dungeon crawling with a very tight combat system that is definitely inspired by some of the best side-scrolling JRPGs from the early 2000 like Valkyrie Profile - which actually made it more action based with its linking attack mechanics mapped at different buttons. At its core, Eiyuden Rising is actually pretty simple (gotta remind that this game was developed and released in pretty much a year): A very straightforward town building system based on NPC quests to gather resources, bring back to the town and finish the buildings to unlock more gameplay options. Even though Murayama is doing the Hundred Heroes game, he actually supervised this game and the whole scenario creation is his. I was able to feel the legacy of Suikoden in this small game that does have the general direction and feeling of Murayama's writing within its characters and world building. … ExpandĮiyuden Rising is definitely an important introduction for Eiyuden: Hundred heroes to establish not only the lore, but the quality of product Eiyuden Rising is definitely an important introduction for Eiyuden: Hundred heroes to establish not only the lore, but the quality of product (even though is developed by a partner studio) that the developers are aiming for this new IP - a spiritual sucessor for **** Murayama's Suikoden, which personally I have a lot of emotional investment since Suikoden is perhaps the most important game of all time for me. The game will introduce a portion of Eiyuden Chronicle’s cast of characters in an original story with thrilling action and engaging town-upgrading elements. What begins as a simple treasure hunt turns into a dark conspiracy that will shake the world and plant seeds that carry over into the main story of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. As you will learn, these Runebarrows hide a great secret that has fateful implications for one of the characters. And they’ll learn more about each other’s reasons for seeking treasure, deepening their bonds in the process. Along the way, they’ll resolve disputes between eager adventurers and wary locals who don’t think the Barrows should be disturbed. Drawn by lenses and other treasure in the nearby Runebarrows, our heroes learn that the town is struggling to rebuild after an earthquake and decide to help. Along Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising combines a thrilling adventure through ancient ruins with the tale of one town’s rise from the ashes. |
