Remember that one is semantically a content ToC and the other is a metadata ToC, even though both might have exactly the same entries and look the same. Now it might well seem to you that the MOBI book has two identical ToCs. When you click Goto Table of Contents on your Kindle, it is to this extra content ToC that the Kindle takes you. A MOBI book simulates the presence of a metadata ToC by putting an extra content ToC at the end of the book. This is because the MOBI format, alone amongst mainstream e-book formats, does not have decent support for a metadata ToC. In the MOBI format, the situation is a little confused. How it is represented is up to the viewer program. This ToC cannot be styled by the book creator. For example, in the calibre E-book viewer, you use the Show Table of Contents button to see this ToC. ![]() A metadata ToC is a ToC that is not part of the book text and is typically accessed by some special button on a reader. This Table of Contents is part of the main document flow and can be styled however you like. One is the traditional Table of Contents, like the ToC you find in paper books. The first thing to realize is that most e-books have two tables of contents.

Note that when converting HTML files, leave the input encoding setting mentioned above blank. A common encoding for many files from the web is cp1252 and I would suggest you try that first. HTML files from different sources often have different encodings, so you may have to change this setting repeatedly. Now when you add HTML files to calibre they will be correctly processed. To do this go to Preferences → Advanced → Plugins → File type and customize the HTML to ZIP plugin, telling it what encoding your HTML files are in. When adding HTML files to calibre, you may need to tell calibre what encoding the files are in. The command-line tools have an ebook-convert-txt-input -input-encoding option. This can be done in the GUI via the Input character encoding field in the Look & feel → Text section of the conversion dialog.

A post shared by Peter Richardson on at 12:48pm PSTīirdland, New York City – referenced in pop culture all the time “I think we're influencing somehow.” From Web2 to Web3 “If you look closely at how Facebook/Meta has been communicating over the past year, the narrative is evolving,” Borget told Decrypt. They think the point is getting across to Mark Zuckerberg and company. But the fact that the company is putting more and more emphasis on open ecosystem messaging is good news in the eyes of OMA3 members. Whether Meta’s metaverse play will be centralized-which many assume it will be-remains an open question and key point of contention. ![]() But it has still yet to say whether it will use Web3 technology-beyond letting users share owned NFTs on Facebook and Instagram-and instead has pointed to partnerships with Microsoft and others to support API plug-ins that let users take such assets to supported platforms. In recent months, Meta has espoused a similar message of building in the open and letting users bring their avatars and assets between platforms. Web3 advocates envision an open metaverse in which NFT apparel, items, artwork, and more can be moved between platforms. Many believe that the metaverse will be used for various activities, whether it’s socializing, playing games, working, or shopping. The metaverse refers to an immersive version of the internet that will be navigated with 3D avatars. įollowing Meta’s metaverse demonstration, Axie Infinity co-founder Jeff Zirlin described in December 2021 what he saw ahead as a “battle for the future of the internet.” He said that Facebook and other centralized giants were trying to “buy the soul of the internet” and control its next phase, which many call the metaverse. As Facebook signaled its ambitions for the metaverse ahead of last year’s big showcase and company rebranding to Meta, Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu told Decrypt that Facebook and Chinese firm Tencent were “a threat” to an open metaverse. Tensions over how the metaverse should be built aren’t new. “They're working on a different technology foundation.” Battle for the metaverse “Everything which touches blockchain, and everything which touches tokenization and smart contracts, we did not see represented in the MSF,” explained Dirk Lueth, co-founder and co-CEO of Web3 metaverse real estate game Upland. None of the OMA3 member companies were invited to join the MSF, The Sandbox co-founder Sebastien Borget told Decrypt. But many in the Web3 space doubt that those firms plan to build a user-owned metaverse in which NFT assets can be freely carried between platforms. Meta, Microsoft, Epic Games, and Adobe are among the Web2 and tech giants that started the MSF. However, OMA3 members also described its current form as being a response to the Metaverse Standards Forum (MSF), an association that was announced in June by a group of 35 tech firms that have similarly committed to building an open metaverse in which users can bring their assets across various future online platforms. OMA3 founding members tell Decrypt that the association-which will be governed by a DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization-has been in the works since 2021. It will also explore intellectual property rights and other legal protections across decentralized online worlds. ![]() The consortium has launched a working group to devise interoperability standards, for example, which will let users move their interactive NFT assets-for things like avatars, virtual land, and items-between multiple Web3 metaverse platforms. OMA3 already includes a number of prominent members, including metaverse investor Animoca Brands, NBA Top Shot and Flow blockchain creator Dapper Labs, and the respective entities behind the Web3 games The Sandbox, Decentraland, Alien Worlds, and Upland. “We share the same belief of the importance that the metaverse remains open and becomes truly user-owned-and that there are very fundamental things that need to be solved across multiple platforms and agreed upon to create this vision,” Batis Samadian, co-founder of metaverse commerce platform Space, told Decrypt. But most of all, 8 represents CORRECT UNDERSTANDING, which is true power. 8+3 = 11 – the number of illumination – the shedding of light.Ĩ represents power on the material plane as well as both abundance and greed. Certainly, everyone on board arrived at the airport on 7 March, 2014, at which time they were already locked into the situation.Ĩ March, brings us to the next phase of the mystery – the day Flight MH370 disappeared.

Consequently, 7 is associated with speculation, conspiracy, conspiracy theories, secrets, spying, scandals, downfalls, and paranoia. 7 both deepens the mystery and intrigue – and exposes aspects that have been covered up. Ironically, truth-seeking 7 is often used to hide the truth. 3+7 = 10 – the number which brings situations, for better or worse, to a ‘new level’. When 3 and 7 combine, understanding often gets thrown off in a new direction whether it is based on truth or not. So, when it comes to understanding this case, there is a constant pushing and pulling of information. 3 often over-simplifies in order to avoid having to deal with complexity and detail. 3 is the ultimate ‘illusion’ number, and represents all forms of art and communication. 7 thrives on knowledge – intelligence.ģ represents outer appearances which can be very deceiving. 7 studies and analyzes the facts, and is also the number most associated with planning and orchestration.

We are told that the aircraft may have been changing direction when radar contact was dropped – and 2 passengers were traveling with stolen passports.

Golang and C# both offer distinct advantages for experienced programmers.Ĭ# is ideal for experienced programmers with previous knowledge of OOP langauges like Java and Python. Go vs C#: Which is better for experienced programmers? □ Go’s memory management concurrency primitives are slightly more powerful (my opinion), but both languages execute these features in a well-designed manner. They both support asynchronous operations, possess a compiler, powerful garbage collector, and modular programming architecture. Go and C# also have similar capabilities and a rich collection of base class libraries. Golang is “C-inspired” but for all intents and purposes, it too has a similar syntax to the C language, but places a greater emphasis on readability. C# is also “Microsoft’s Java”, so in a lot of ways it inherits class-based styling from Java, something Go does not do. NET framework allows it to work cross-platform, although it works best in Windows. C# is a object-oriented and C-based, so it has a very similar syntax to the C language, and the. Similarities between C# and Golang □īefore we get our hands dirty with comparisons, there are a few important similarities to discuss.Īs far as language makeup, Go and C# are both cross-platform languages with C language origins. If you’re interested in finding out which language best suits you, then keep reading as I compare salary, performance, job opportunities, and the advantages they pose for programmers. NET, but it’s not very common.NET is what gives C# its advantageous libraries and versatility. NET framework, which supports multiple languages. It’s important to note that C# is supported by the. It came about after Sun Microsystems, the original developer of Java, refused to let Microsoft edit their language, and thus C# was born. Go continues to grow in popularity and has a devoted following of programmers affectionately known as “Gophers”.Ĭ# on the other hand is an object-oriented (OOP), general-purpose programing language that was created in 2000 as a part of Microsoft’s. The developers decided to create a language that could handle Google’s immense network servers without sacrificing readability, speed, and simplicity. Golang is a procedural, open-source, compiled programming language developed by a team at Google in 2009, after reaching their wits end with C++. Golang and C# offer a unique mixture of similarities and differences, having both been inspired by the same language, C. |
