Vector Class in Java With Program Example

Vector is a collection class that implements dynamic array data structure to store elements, signifying growable array as its underlying data structure.  It accepts duplicate elements and preserves insertion order. It can hold elements of different data types and allows null value. The Vector class was introduced in Java 1.2 version and is part of the original Java API. It is similar to…

alright. 👓 what we got for this weird little step up banner. Why did they have SR yaku and oli on the promo pic?? And what does it have to do with eiden's huey decision???? No matter... let's see if there's anything i'd like to pull for...

& opens updated game &

The only SSRs aster and morv have? . Already have morv, and he's full unlocked. I wouldn't MIND an aster if only to see him slap morv around. but it's not enough to motivate me to throw my contracts... ohhh if only there were a tiny aster SSR.... i want that lil guy fuckin things up...

Ocean breeze yakumo- WAIT, IDOL YAKUMO? THE WETTEST, (arguably) MOST PATHETIC WHIMPERER OF THE YAKUMOS? the yakumo that i did not want during his original run because i wanted nothing to do with him and thus i never Obtained him? YOU're saying i could finally have a soggy beach tankini yakumo in my collection, to manipulate voice lines at will, to replay whatever sad Single Line of Sad Whines he lets out in R2----- THAT YAKUMO? well now i have to read up on the terms and conditions of this banner

[interlude: reading and some judgemental squinting]

They said guaranteed SSR within 70 pulls...BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE THE SSR AT 300? idk bro that seems like a lot to sacrifice for a rerun... what else have we got to work with here

Chocolate fiend retail edmond- does not measure up to white wedding edmond. i remain uninterested

Mother Nature oli- tEMPTING, OK, THE ONE I'VE WANTED SINCE I STARTED PLAYING, , but he probably isn't a great unit like most of the older units BUT MY DEAREST MATRON OF LIFE FLORAL HUNTER OLI..........THE NOSTALGIA HITS HARD

Ropeflinger quincy- no interest

Period cramps kuya- no interest

Loincloth gapmaster garu- tbh i'd be pissed if i got this one because i already have him at 3 stars and if i get just. one single extra of this. that's not enough to ascend himn. it's nto enough to do ANYTHING. either give me plentiful puppy or NONE AT ALL!!!!

Idol apprentice blade- hol up isn't this the blade with that riduclousoly beautiful eiden sprawed alcross the bed that makes you wanna go RRRRRRRHBWRUFFRRAWFBARKRBARKBRAKRKBABRBARK???? ok ok, serious contender,,,, it never hurts to have more blade rooms

Icy equilibrium dante- ?!?! isn't this the one where dante is an absolute loser for eiden and they're so painfully vanilla and sweet that you want to projectile vomit all over the foggy glass? hm. i could use some more bullying dante for his feeligns. yeah, sure , why not

Truth seeker rei- waitwaitwait isn't this another one of rei's lore-important units? the one that dishes out his saian shenanigans, AND sticks him in a locker (where he magically manages to remove his pants but stil retain his powerrfully high goth boots)? hm. also don't remember him being a particular useful unit , but. "cunty boots stay on during sex" rooms are still a delight every time. alright. consider me interested. a bit.

SR yaku- got im SR oli- got im SR quincy- got im

SR kuya- YOU!!!!!!!!!! the AACCCURSED SR that pops up in zerophos' guides, who is weirdly OP and i canNOT COMPLETE THE STAGES BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE YOU. you supposed "low-rarity-tier" unit with your unfair trigger? skills??? now i BET you would be mighty useful to have but that's just it, innit? the moment i might deign to lure you to my team, and you refuse me. you ignore me more than anyone else ever has in my life. you ignore me more than OG SSR Garu who, to this day, 3 years later, has not dared to look upon me. no. just for that, i'm going to say i'm not interested. get out of here peepaw. i don't need you to complete those freakishly specific challenge trial conditions.

VERDICT? i'm widdle--sorta--maybe interested in 6 of the 11 SSRs , which is not uhhhhhh optimal it's not like i'll come out of this a winner no matter the outcome Lookin 🔬 at these numbers, probably not worth it to me... maybe i'll throw a loose scroll at the banner if i give in to my impulse randomly

but with magical girl blade on the horizon? mm. gotta be smart with these gamblin' odds. may have to bunker down like the crocodile and play the waitin game...

I'm picturing a turn-based RPG based on 3rd Life where, if you're friendly with the other players, you can either buy items from them or they can offer you trades and you can accept or reject them...

BUT if you decide to buy/trade with Scar, you find yourself in the combat GUI with no warning, the health stat is based on something other than hearts (charisma?), and unless you've already died twice, your only options are to use your other items like weapons to make counteroffers (wears Scar down, but only proportionate to how valuable they are), accept the deal (there is a 50% chance he will add something else to the deal once you accept) or try to run away. If you lose, you walk away dazedly wondering why you made that trade.

If you're red and try to fight him, good news! You don't have to worry about making the deal with Scar, you just have to fight him and Grian!

i saw some people recommending cotton organdy as an interfacing alternative, so i grabbed some for a project where i thought itd be an ideal use, but the stuff i got feel really.... plasticy? i was expecting a crisp cotton, kind of starched feeling, based on what people said, but this feels like cheap non-woven interfacings do. is this normal or did i get some dodgy stuff?

ArrayList Class in Java With Program Example

Arraylist is a child class of AbstractList and implements List interface. It represents dynamic array that can grow or shrink as needed. In case of standard array, one must know the number of elements about to store in advance. In other words, a standard array is fixed in size and its size can’t be changed after its initialisation. To overcome this problem, collection framework provides…

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

it's kind of sad that the two really major companies making brain-computer interface devices are focusing on video games. disabled people could potentially use those for lots of more important activities....

🍉🇵🇸 eSims for Gaza masterpost 🇵🇸🍉

Which eSims are currently being called for?

Connecting Humanity is calling for:

Nomad (“regional Middle East” plan): code NOMADCNG

Simly (“Palestine” plan)

Gaza Online is calling for:

Holafly (“Israel” and “Egypt” plans): code HOLACNG

Nomad (“regional Middle East” plan): code NOMADCNG (can now be used multiple times from the same email)

Airalo (“Middle East and North Africa” plan)

Sparks (“Israel” plan)

Numero (“Egypt” plan)

For Connecting Humanity: if you sent an eSim more than two weeks ago and it is still valid and not yet activated, reply to the email in which you originally sent the eSim. To determine whether the eSim is still valid, scan the QR code with a smartphone; tap the yellow button that reads “Cellular plan”; when a screen comes up reading “Activate eSIM,” click the button that says “Continue.” If a message comes up reading “eSIM Cannot Be Added: This code is no longer valid. Contact your carrier for more information,” the eSim is activated, expired, or had an error in installation, and should not be sent. It is very important not to re-send invalid eSims, since people may walk several kilometers to access wifi to connect their eSims only to find out that they cannot be activated.

If a screen appears reading “Activate eSIM: An eSIM is ready to be activated” with a button asking you to “Continue,” do not click “Continue” to activate the eSim on your phone; exit out of the screen and reply to the email containing that QR code.

Be sure you're looking at the original post, as this will be continually updated. Any new instructions about replying to emails for specific types of unactivated plans will also appear here.

Check the notes of blackpearlblasts's eSim post, as well as fairuzfan's 'esim' tag, for referral and discount codes.

How do I purchase an eSim?

If you cannot download an app or manage an eSim yourself, send funds to Crips for eSims for Gaza (Visa; Mastercard; Paypal; AmEx; Canadian e-transfer), or to me (venmo @gothhabiba; paypal.me/Najia; cash app $NajiaK, with note “esims” or similar; check the notes of this post for updates on what I've purchased.)

You can purchase an eSim yourself using a mobile phone app, or on a desktop computer (with the exception of Simly, which does not have a desktop site). See this screenreader-accessible guide to purchasing an eSim through each of the five services that the Connecting Humanity team is calling for (Simly, Nomad, Mogo, Holafly, and Airalo).

Send a screenshot of the plan's QR code to gazaesims@gmail.com. Be sure to include the app used, the word "esim," the type of plan (when an app has more than one, aka "regional Middle East" versus "Palestine"), and the amount of data or time on the plan, in the subject line or body of your email.

Message me if you have any questions or if you need help purchasing an eSim through one of these apps.

If you’re going to be purchasing many eSims at once, see Jane Shi’s list of tips.

Which app should I use?

Try to buy an eSim from one of the apps that the team is currently calling for (see above).

If the team is calling for multiple apps:

Nomad is best in terms of data price, app navigability, and ability to top up when they are near expiry; but eSims must be stayed on top of, as you cannot top them up once the data has completely run out. Go into the app settings and make sure your "data usage" notifcations are turned on.

Simly Middle East plans cannot be topped up; Simly Palestine ones can. Unlike with Nomad, data can be topped up once it has completely run out.

Holafly has the most expensive data, and top-ups don't seem to work.

Mogo has the worst user interface in my opinion. It is difficult or impossible to see plan activation and usage.

How much data should I purchase?

Mirna el-Helbawi has been told that large families may all rely on the same plan for data (by setting up a hotspot). Some recipients of eSim plans may also be using them to upload video.

For those reasons I would recommend getting the largest plan you can afford for plans which cannot be topped up: namely, Simly "Middle East" plans, and Holafly plans (they say you can top them up, but I haven't heard of anyone who has gotten it to work yet).

For all other plans, get a relatively small amount of data (1-3 GB, a 3-day plan, etc.), and top up the plan with more data once it is activated. Go into the app’s settings and make sure low-data notifications are on, because a 1-GB eSIM can expire very quickly.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Check back regularly to see if the plan has been activated. Once it's been activated, check once a day to see if data is still being used, and how close the eSim is to running out of data or to expiring; make sure your notifications are on.

If the eSim hasn't been activated after three weeks or so, reply to the original email that you sent to Gaza eSims containing the QR code for that plan.

If you purchased the eSim through an app which has a policy of starting the countdown to auto-expiry a certain amount of time after the purchase of the eSim, rather than only upon activation (Nomad does this), then also reply to your original e-mail once you're within a few days of this date. If you're within 12 hours of that date, contact customer service and ask for a credit (not a refund) and use it to purchase and send another eSim.

How can I tell if my plan has been activated? How do I top up a plan?

The Connecting Humanity team recommends keeping your eSims topped up once they have been activated.

See this guide on how to tell if your plan has been activated, how to top up plans, and (for Nomad) how to tell when the auto-expiry will start. Keep topping up the eSim for as long as the data usage keeps ticking up. This keeps a person or family connected for longer, without the Connecting Humanity team having to go through another process of installing a new eSim.

If the data usage hasn't changed in a week or so, allow the plan to expire and purchase another one.

What if I can't afford a larger plan, or don't have time or money to keep topping up an eSim?

I have set up a pool of funds out of which to buy and top up eSims, which you can contribute to by sending funds to my venmo (@gothhabiba), PayPal (paypal.me/Najia), or cash app ($NajiaK) (with note “esims” or similar). Check the notes of this post for updates on what I've purchased, which plans are active, and how much data they've used.

Crips for eSims for Gaza also has a donation pool to purchase eSims and top them up.

Gaza Online (run by alumni of Gaza Sky Geeks) accepts monetary donations to purchase eSims as needed.

What if my eSim has not been activated, even after I replied to my email?

Make sure that the QR code you sent was a clear screenshot, and not a photo of a screen; and that you didn’t install the eSim on your own phone by scanning the QR code or clicking “install automatically."

Possible reasons for an eSim not having been activated include: it was given to a journalist as a back-up in case the plan they had activated expired or ran out of data; there was an error during installation or activation and the eSim could no longer be used; the eSim was installed, but not activated, and then Israeli bombings destroyed the phone, or forced someone to leave it behind.

An eSim that was sent but couldn’t be used is still part of an important effort and learning curve. Errors in installation, for example, are happening less often than they were in the beginning of the project.

Why should I purchase an eSim? Is there any proof that they work?

Israel is imposing near-constant communications blackouts on Gaza. The majority of the news that you are seeing come from Gaza is coming from people who are connected via eSim.

eSims also connect people to news. People are able to videochat with their family for the first time in months, to learn that their family members are still alive, to see their newborn children for the first time, and more, thanks to eSims.

Some of this sharing of news saves lives, as people have been able to flee or avoid areas under bombardment, or learn that they are on evacuation lists.

Why are different plans called for at different times?

Different eSims work in different areas of the Gaza Strip (and Egypt, where many refugees currently are). The team tries to keep a stockpile of each type of sim on hand.

Is there anything else I can do to help?

There is an urgent need for more eSims. Print out these posters and place them on bulletin boards, in local businesses, on telephone poles, or wherever people are likely to see them. Print out these foldable brochures to inform people about the initiative and distribute them at protests, cafes and restaurants, &c. Also feel free to make your own brochures using the wording from this post.

The Connecting Humanity team is very busy connecting people to eSims and don't often have time to answer questions. Check a few of Mirna El Helbawi's most recent tweets and see if anyone has commented with any questions that you can answer with the information in this post.
