I was hoping to buy a CD Key of Battlefield 5 from any CD Key website like G2A or Kinguin but on cdkeys.com the title has (EN) and on other websites it's (ENG). So clearly eng stands for English but does en also stand for English?

At the beginning of Windows 11 installation, there are 3 options: Language to install, Time and currency, Keyboard or input method. What to choose so that the system uses metric units and format but US English and keyboard? Does choosing Canada have any side-effect? The problem: In Windows 10, I chose US for language, and changed the units to metric and region to UK later (iirc I did this first before installing software?), however the installed software all uses US units and format, e.g. Office/LibreOffice and GIMP use inches or US letter paper format upon install. If I change Language to en-GB, Windows adds a UK keyboard plus language pack but my keyboard is US. (Also there is a registry for installation language that can't be changed in Settings in W10)

Russian Sound Inventory 1st Post For the sake of ease, I will include the "non-Linguistic" method of explaining the sounds as well as providing the IPA of each vowel and consonant (they will be wrapped in a parenthesis). Since I am at the beginning of the book, I will not delve too deep into Allophony, merging, etc etc. Maybe the book will cover that later. I don't wish to jump ahead for my own good as well as anyone who may be reading this. Anyways... first I'll break them down into four groups, from easiest to say/remember to the hardest. I'll try to come up with image templates later on instead of relying on the very limited range of our editors (no BBCode SUCKS), but for now, please stick with me. Group 1: (Capital) (Small) (Pronunciation) (IPA) А а | [a] as in father (/a/) K к | [k] as in kangaroo (/k/ or /kʲ/) М м | [m] as in map or man (/m/ or /mʲ/) О о | [o] as in bottle *1 (/o/) Т т | [t] as in tan or tool (/t/ or /tʲ/) Now Group 2 will contain letters that look like English letters and you might try to pronounce them the same, but they aren't pronounced the same at all. Group 2: (Capital) (Small) (Pronunciation) (IPA) В в | [v] as in vet (/v/ or /vʲ/) Е е | [ye] as in yes (/je/, / ʲe/ or /e/) Н н | [n] as in never (/n/ or /ɲ/) Р р | [r] as in error *2 (/r/ or /rʲ/) С с | [ s ] as in sit (/s/ or /sʲ/) У у | [oo] as in boot (/u/) Х х | [h] as in the German ch in Bach or the Scots Loch (/x/) Next...! Group 3: (Capital) (Small) (Pronunciation) (IPA) Б б | [ b ] as in bet or bad (/b/ or /bʲ/) Г г | [g] as in get or go (/ɡ/) Д д | [d] as in do or debt (/d/ or /dʲ/) Ё ё | [yo] as in yolk or yonder *3 (/jo/ or / ʲɵ/) З з | [z] as in zoo (/z/ or /zʲ/) И и | [ee] as in me or eel (/i/ or / ʲi/) Й й | [y] as in boy *4 (/j/) Л л | [l] as in people (/l/ or /lʲ/) П п | [p] as in pet (/p/ or /pʲ/) Ф ф | [f] as in face or fat (/f/ or /fʲ/) Э э | [e] as in met or fed (/ɛ/) Ю ю | [yoo] as in use or universe (/ju/ or / ʲʉ/) Я я | [ya] as in yak (/ja/ or / ʲæ/) Finally, we move onto the last group. The 'hardest' group! Group 4: (Capital) (Small) (Pronunciation) (IPA) Ж ж | [zh] as in the s in pleasure (/ʐ/) Ц ц | [ts] as in its or sits (/t͡s/) Ч ч | [ch] as in church (/t͡ɕ/) Щ щ | [ shsh] as in Welsh sheep or sheer (/ɕɕ/) Ш ш | [ sh] as in shut (/ʂ/) Ы ы | [ i ] as in bit or hit *5 ( /ɨ/ ) Ь ь | [] *6 (/ ʲ/) Ъ ъ | [] *7 Now let me direct some of the things I marked in the sound inventory with the symbol ‘ * ’. *1 Please note that in unstressed syllables standard Moscow pronunciation is of ‘o’ is closer to the [a]. *2 r is rolled like in Scottish English. Please click this link for more on the rolled r. *3 Russians usually omit the diacritic mark (the dots) so it will often look just like [е]. However, it retains the marks in dictionaries etc etc. *4 Й forms diphthongs, so ‘óй’ sounds like ‘oy’ in the word ‘boy’, ‘aй’ sounds like ‘igh’ in the word ‘sigh’, and ‘yй’ sounds like the ‘oui’ in the name ‘Louis’ *5 the /i/ is pronounced with the tip of the tongue further back in the mouth *6 In order to tell you what this sounds like, it is only possibly to for me to give you the IPA. This sign is called the ‘soft sign’, silent. It palatalizes the preceding consonant—if it is phonologically possible. To remind you to pronounce this during transcriptions/pronunciation, I'll put a raised y ‘y’ in place of the Russian letter. *7 This letter does not have a sound of its own, but works by preventing the palatalization of consonants. Both the soft sign and the hard sign became phonetic markers over time, meaning now ‘ь’ indicates that the preceding consonant is ‘soft’ (palatalized) while ‘ъ’ indicates that the preceding consonant is ‘hard’ (non-palatalized). These two letters are pretty hard for me to explain, so I encourage you to read the wikipedia pages for them (they are linked by clicking their letters respectively).

We hear quite often these days of developers and gamers complaining games aren't optimized for graphics hardware for AMD/Nvidia or are choking at the CPU whether by terrible single threaded implementation or by bad multithreaded code. In reality it's not very difficult to optimize C++ code, and game developers should frankly be ashamed they hide behind the excuses they currently give. Here I have supplied a rudimentary program which may not appear to be very useful or worthwhile to the average reader, but these specifically can be used as part of a CPU-based physics engine or Artificial Intelligence routine in the hands of someone who can manage data well. Here are a few ways to implement getting the sum of the elements of columns in a matrix. You may not find this particularly interesting, but for any mathematical/statistical reduction, it's best to try to get all of your data in matrix form, be it a 2D array or a flat buffer you can traverse by using multiplicative offsets. Furthermore, it's best you know how your programming language stores data sequentially. Going in the wrong order can have disastrous consequences on your runtime (yay foreshadowing). Trials run per code base: 6 CPU: Core I7 2600K stock clocks & settings, watercooled (no thermal throttling possible) RAM: dual-channel G.Skill Trident X 1866 (3x4GB) OS: Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet fully updated as of 5/14/15 Compiler: icpc (ICC) 15.0.3 20150407 Copyright © 1985-2015 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved. Compiler Flags: -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 -g -Ofast dummy.cpp -o dummy Timing Specifications: /usr/bin/time -v ./dummy 115000 20000 Major (requiring disk I/O) page faults: 0 (very important that we're not hitting virtual memory on the hard drives here) CPU Usage: 99% for all valid runs Be aware due to SandyBridge being limited to AVX 128 (with MMX 256) and FMA2, you will see better performance in Haswell, but you will need a lot of RAM to see how it scales. I use up most of my available 10 GB, and the system has the last 2. Naive/First Instinct Serial Solution //some have noted I forgot to use a reference operator for my function, but adding it shaves only a single second in runtime, insignificant until later. Elapsed time average: 53.46 seconds Standard deviation: 0.27 seconds C++ Favorable Serial Solution Elapsed time average: 4.90 seconds (that's right, 10.91 x speedup with 1 tiny change) Standard deviation: 0.003 seconds And that's just by understanding how C++ stores multi-dimensional arrays: row major order, and how the translation lookahead buffer tries to keep spatially local data in the caches for your CPU. Traversing by column causes a huge number of cache misses which, as you can see, severely diminishes your performance. Feel free to experiment by adding columns, narrowing row width, expanding it, etc.. This second algorithm seems to be slightly obfuscated to a novice or someone who doesn't know the nitty gritty details of a language's implementation (COUGH* game programmers COUGH*). Believe it or not, this sort of naivete I found almost an exact copy of in the physics engine for the Unity Engine. You wouldn't believe how hard I had to fight to get it changed, including providing extensive evidence you can get here for yourselves. I could not believe how impossible it was to convince three programmers some upstart nobody found something they could vastly improve in their code. If I ever come across as an elitist, it's because I'm jaded by industry people who think stuck up college kids know nothing. Now, using Intel's crafted CilkPlus libraries (which run on AMD processors all the same if you compile with g++ or clang++ (g++ 4.9.2 has some CilkPlus bugs right now though)), we can do even better before going multi-threaded. To my knowledge Microsoft's Visual C/C++ compiler does not yet support CilkPlus at all. Good CilkPlus Solution (for g++ or clang++, must use -fcilkplus flag) Elapsed time average: 3.00 seconds (almost 40% speedup over good C++ algorithm) Standard deviation: 0.000 seconds Bad CilkPlus Solution (for g++ or clang++, must use -fcilkplus flag) Elapsed time average: 50.80 seconds (better than bad algorithm in raw C++, but terrible nonetheless) Standard deviation: 0.29 seconds CilkPlus even manages to get you something when your algorithm doesn't use your hardware resources optimally, but it doesn't get you too much. OpenMP and CilkPlus Combined Solution (export OMP_NUM_THREADS=4, compile using -fopenmp (and -fcilkplus if using g++ or clang++) Cpu Usage: 391% Elapsed time average: 1.19 seconds (more than 60% faster than the plain CilkPlus Solution. There is a barrier to scaling here determined by the critical section which must be resolved) Standard deviation: 0.0058 seconds ***Note using 2 threads gives 0.92 seconds elapsed time and lower (174%) CPU usage. This is a lesson that parallelization can yield diminishing returns and even lose you ground if you aren't careful*** Proposals: chunk-wise reduction from partials to total. Edit: no gains. Still confused. Sometimes it's the most obvious things that escape our sight when looking for ways to improve. Memory allocation takes a long time, and trying to do it in one single call was not appropriate for such a large structure. Having said that, reserving a single block of data which will do nothing other than point to the individual rows and then making calls to RAM to allocate much smaller pieces takes far less time. I still believe I'm hitting a bandwidth bottleneck considering increasing the thread count for this increases the runtime, especially given the threshold is 2 and not 3. I believe the increased run time would result from contention to the DDR3 bus, but I lack a hardware profiler to confirm this (there are various levels of profilers which can analyze software and hardware performance, and to pinpoint exactly where the delay is being generated would most likely require a hardware profiler. EDIT: OpenMP Solution was given further optimization, and scaling is now closer to expectation. However, there is more I have to think about. There's definitely still room for improvement.

Any good spanish media to watch to keep my language skills over time? It can be anything, movies, tv, songs. Speaking of movies, Rec 1 and Rec 2 were decent spansish b-list horror movies, not scary but pretty novel and worth watching. Language was easy to understand.

Not the language or region settings, but some kind of system language that is determined by the Win10 image. For example Nullsoft installation system and OpenRA use or detect this, instead of the language option in Win10 settings. IIRC the Microsoft tool for creating Win10 image has a language setting, and the Win10 installation using the image created will have the corresponding "hidden" system language. Anyway most software don't use this, but it would be nice to know if there is a way to change it post-install...

Hello everyone, so, I'm about to buy a dictionary for German Sign Language. The system requirements list the usual: OS, RAM, etc. And: German operating system and regional settings. Has anyone ever heard of such a requirement? It seems very, very weird to me; shouldn't all Windows 10 compatible programs work on *all* Windows 10 systems, no matter the language? (Obviously my system is not in German, in case anyone was wondering. And I don't want to shell out €50 for this just to find out it doesn't work...)

Using windows 10 pro edition. I have set up 2 languages: - Bulgarian: with one layout "traditional phonetic" - English (Australia) with also one layout "USA, qwerty" And what I get in the taskbar is this: http://prntscr.com/enwlml This "БГР USA" cannot be seen in windows 10 settings menu, nor in control panel. The only place it can be seen is in the taskbar. Please help me figure out where it's coming from and to get rid of it. Thanks!

Hello, I hope this is not a very nooby question. So I prefer to speak English although I can also speak Chinese, but I live in China. So Cortana answers in Chinese, I still talk to "her" in English though. According to my friend Cortana will only answer in the language of your region, so China in my example. Is this true, and is there a way to make Cortana respond to me in English despite being in China, I know this is probably possible if I VPN to the USA or any other English-speaking country since it probably uses Microsoft online services like Bing, but I would prefer not to do that because I game even though I only have a ThinkPad and having a VPN on 24/7 is also a crappy solution. Thanks for any answers!

If it possible to build a computer that could translate a language such as klingon or elvish in to any other language ? I would love to know what the klingon's talk about on star trek.

Hello, recently I bought an MSI computer from gearbest (model named GL62M 7REX) , it's working well except I can't change the windows language to English/Hebrew. I saw in reviews that you can reinstall windows and it will be in English but I tried and it stayed in Chinese, I saw another review which stated you can download other language pack but I don't seem to find any in the official Microsoft website. I also tried the obvious solution of changing the language in the computer settings but it didn't work either. if someone can help me I will be very grateful because I don't know Chinese

Hey guys, I am currently trying to upgrade my simulation of CPU coolers in Mathematica from simulating just a single fin to multiple fins ('cause my design has some fins not directly connected to the CPU). When I hand my set of equations over to NDSolve it complains that "NDSolve is not currently able to solve boundary value problems with discrete variables". I was hoping somebody maybe knows a work around Here is my code Peqns = Table[D[power[i][h], h] == -Cv*Width[h]*temp[i][h] + If[i > 1, (temp[i - 1][h] - temp[i][h])*ConW[h]/ConL*Cd,0] + If[i < Fins, (temp[i + 1][h] - temp[i][h],0)*ConW[h]/ConL*Cd], {i, Fins}]; Teqns = Table[D[temp[i][h], h] == -power[i][h]/(Cd*Width[h]*thickness), {i, Fins}]; Ieqns = {Table[power[i][0] == CPUpower/Length[ConFins], {i, Fins}], Table[power[i][height] == 0, {i, Fins}]}; eqns = Join[Peqns, Teqns, Ieqns]; sol = NDSolve[eqns, Join[Table[temp[i], {i, 0, Fins}], Table[power[i], {i, Fins}]], {h,0, height}]; Evaluate[temp[1][0] /. sol] All the other stuff is pretty much constant (ie read them as constants, makes more sense that way) Here is a list of what the things are: Note that I can verify, that the problem only arises, when there are terms involving the neighboring temps, if I set that term to 0 it works. But even if I choose my conditions in a way that guaranties that these terms will be 0 it refuses to even start to compute

I need help to change my search engine back to English, in Japanese mode it keeps giving unwanted results. So one day my google search engine just suddenly changed to Japanese ( I live in Japan atm). I remember there supposed to be a button right under the search bar that allowed me to change language but this time it dissapeard. How do I switch this thing to English again? PS I need this quick and a bit tilted with stuff going so sorry if I was too blunt or missed out some info.

Hey guys, in my environment I have a program that needs to be updated somewhat frequently for all of our users. This updater requires elevation- and we don't want to have all of our users having the admin credentials/privileges. Since the updater is its own .exe, I was wondering if there was a language that would let me hard code in the credentials to be able to start the program as administrator? so basically, in a dream world it would have a function that does something along the lines of RunAsAdmin(Program_File_Path(string), Admin_Name(string), Admin_Password(string))

I have a us style keyboard as i found it at a discount but for some reason my PC recognises it as a UK keyboard and as a result i cant use the backslash which, as i am learning to code python, is quite annoying. If anyone knows how to change the layout the PC detects this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

so my problem is that I am trying to keep English as a my display language but i dont want an English keyboard layout... I speak 3 languages one of them being Japanese so I use google's IME as my main layout as it has both English and Japanese in it. I dont need another useless layout in the middle of the other two but windows wont let me remove the English layout while keeping it as display language. for some reason windows and the file system stay in English but apps like calculator and snip & sketch are in japanes EDIT: basically app languages stays in Japanese even though English is the display language I tried: removing all layouts playing around the date and time menus contacting windows support several times (each time the IT crew says its a registry problem and runs a check than closes the the ticket as solved for some reason). if anyone has any idea how to do this it will be amazing.

In the newer 1809 updates Microsnap removed the language input menu from the Control Panel, leaving behind a broken language menu in the Settings app which is completely unusable. I have two languages installed, but now it started randomly enabling keyboard inputs that I have not added myself into the list. Worst still, I can't remove them at all because the Settings app is broken and shows I have no language installed.... Any fix?
