How is that possible that matrices can be thought as coordinate systems?
I've been reading around that matrices (for example, rotation matrices, but not only) can be thought somehow as coordinate systems.
My question is: how is that possible?
I've seen for example that if we're using row-major conventions, the rows of the matrices involved in the transformations (specifically I've seen about rotations) can be thought as the vectors representing some coordinate system (specifically it should be a local coordinate system).
Why is this the case? And why specifically a local coordinate system? What does it even mean local coordinate system in this context? Are there any other type of matrices, apart from the rotation matrices, which can be thought as coordinate systems? If yes, which ones, and why?
Matrices usually represent a transformation (linear or not, maybe also affine in computer graphics), but it's new to me to think about matrices as coordinate systems.

$\begingroup$ It does not matter if its row oriented column oriented or arbitrary otder or inverse its still the same case. This is not because of math but what we are trying to acieve. Math does not deal with the why as much as you like to believe, math deals with properties of abstract things, the interpretation has to come from oitside of math. But its better you smartly ask the space question you originally tried ton $\endgroup$ – joojaa Jan 13 '17 at 7:33

$\begingroup$ @user18490 Yes, in this case, this question arose after reading a lesson from scratchpixel. In my opinion it's not understandable enough the explanation there. $\endgroup$ – nbro Jan 20 '17 at 10:32
If you have a 3x3 matrix representing some transformation, you will actually have the X,Y,Z vectors of that transformation in the rows or columns (depending on if it's a row major or column major matrix).
In other words, if you have a 3x3, you can look at it and immediately get the up, right(*), forward vectors (asterisk due to handedness, it could be the left vector).
3x3 Details:
let's say you have a 3x3 matrix $M$:
$ M_{ij} = \begin{bmatrix} M_{1,1} & M_{1,2} & M_{1,3} \\ M_{2,1} & M_{2,2} & M_{2,3} \\ M_{3,1} & M_{3,2} & M_{3,3} \\ \end{bmatrix} $
Let's see what happens when you multiply that by a vector $\begin{bmatrix}1,0,0 \end{bmatrix}$:
$ \begin{bmatrix} M_{1,1} & M_{1,2} & M_{1,3} \\ M_{2,1} & M_{2,2} & M_{2,3} \\ M_{3,1} & M_{3,2} & M_{3,3} \\ \end{bmatrix} * \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} M_{1,1} \\ M_{2,1} \\ M_{3,1} \\ \end{bmatrix} $
Now let's try vector $\begin{bmatrix}0,1,0\end{bmatrix}$:
And lastly, vector $\begin{bmatrix}0,0,1\end{bmatrix}$:
This shows that whatever matrix $M$ is, the first column is the X axis vector of the coordinate space defined by the matrix. The second column is the Y axis vector, and the third column is the Z axis vector.
These vectors are in global space.
$ M = \begin{bmatrix} X_x & Y_x & Z_x \\ X_y & Y_y & Z_y \\ X_z & Y_z & Z_z \\ \end{bmatrix} $
You can even see that this is true in an identity matrix, where the X,Y and Z vectors are just what you'd expect them to be:
$ M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} $
A 3x3 matrix is much like a vector in that it describes directions but has no position.
If you have a 4x4 matrix that represents a 3d transform and uses homogeneous coordinates for a translation, you can then use that to get the X,Y,Z orientation vectors, but also can get the translation from the origin.
Hopefully this is helpful, and not misleading for less common matrix types. I saw an answer deleted which said similar, so fingers crossed :P

$\begingroup$ "immediately get the up, right(*), forward vectors": could you please specify which rows or columns represent the X, Y or Z axis, and why? $\endgroup$ – nbro Jan 12 '17 at 18:38
$\begingroup$ let me know if that helps nbro! $\endgroup$ – Alan Wolfe Jan 12 '17 at 19:31
$\begingroup$ Yes, that was helpful, thanks! I've another doubt. You say "you can look at it and immediately get the up, right(*), forward vectors", you're saying of the local coordinate system? According to the answer provided by @Oliver, this matrix defines a new coordinate system with respect to another, but this is often implicit. This kind of makes sense to me if I imagine at the end that this matrix represents a transformation. But what I'm confused about now is if the columns (or rows) of the transformation matrix actually define the basis of the new space... I should go back to review this. $\endgroup$ – nbro Jan 12 '17 at 19:47
$\begingroup$ Yes. In my example, you can use the columns to get the basis vectors of the coordinate system it describes. The columns are in the coordinate system of whatever the parent coordinate system is. If there is no parent coordinate system, they are in global space. Else, they are in the coordinate system of the parent. HTH but i understand that sometimes it takes time and multiple attempts to absorb new concepts :P $\endgroup$ – Alan Wolfe Jan 12 '17 at 19:54
$\begingroup$ When you say "The columns are in the coordinate system of whatever the parent coordinate system is" you mean "the columns are in the vector space of whatever..."? $\endgroup$ – nbro Jan 12 '17 at 19:57
A matrix can be used to transform a coordinate system into a new one. More specifically, it can be used to transform the basis vectors of a coordinate system. That's how it defines a new coordinate system. It is of course always in relation to another coordinate system but that is often implicit.
local coordinate system usually means a coordinate system which is specific to only part of your scene. For example, the coordinate system where an object's vertices are defined. Those vertices are then transformed, with a matrix, to some global coordinate system with the rest of the scene. That's why it is said that the matrix defines the local coordinate system, in relation to the global one.
With that said, there can be a number of other meanings. Texture coordinates are also a form of local coordinate system: a 2D one defined on a surface. It is specific to that surface and it is usually not defined by a transformation matrix.

RED RESPECT
Coutinho will reject Man Utd move out of respect to Liverpool… despite being booed by Reds fans
Barcelona flop has instructed his representatives to snub any advances from Old Trafford as PSG plot swoop
Gary Stonehouse
MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly failed in an attempt to sign Philippe Coutinho out of the star's respect for Liverpool.
That is despite his former club's supporters booing him during their Champions League semi-final triumph over the La Liga giants.
Philippe Coutinho will reject Manchester United over his loyalty to LiverpoolCredit: Getty
Coutinho, 27, is Barcelona's most-expensive after switching to the Nou Camp from Anfield for £142m in January 2018.
But he has endured a miserable first full season with the Catalans, leading to him considering his future as several of Europe's big guns plot a huge swoop.
United are one of those leading the chase, while Chelsea are also keen on the Brazilian attacker.
However Marca claims today he will reject any advances from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils.
They report Coutinho has informed his representatives to not even consider any offers from United due to their bitter rivalry with Liverpool.
The former Inter Milan ace is believed to be open to the idea of a return to the Premier League.
And another of today's transfer stories claim he saw his future as Eden Hazard's replacement at Chelsea.
But the Blues have been hit with a two-window transfer ban, scuppering any hopes of pushing through a deal this summer.
And that could open the door for Paris Saint-Germain to make their move.
There is still a lot of tension between PSG and Barcelona chiefs after the Neymar transfer saga two years ago which led to the Parisians activating the forward's buyout clause to make him the world's most-expensive footballer.
But Neymar is believed to desire a switch back to Barca – and that means Coutinho could potentially be used as part of a blockbuster move.
L'Equipe claimed on Sunday that PSG will be happy to accept "a large offer" for Neymar.
The Samba superstar is currently sidelined after suffering ankle ligament damage in a Copa America warm-up match for his country last month.

La teoría de la empresa basada en el conocimiento considera al conocimiento como el recurso de mayor importancia estratégica de una empresa.

Concepto

Sus defensores sostienen que debido a que los recursos basados en los conocimientos suelen ser difíciles de imitar y socialmente complejos, bases heterogéneas de conocimientos y capacidades entre las empresas son los principales determinantes de la ventaja competitiva sostenible y el rendimiento superior de la empresa.

Este conocimiento es integrado y llevado a través de varias entidades como la cultura organizacional, la identidad, las políticas, las rutinas, documentos, sistemas y empleados. Procedentes de la bibliografía sobre gestión estratégica, esta perspectiva se basa y extiende el punto de vista basado en los recursos de la empresa ("RBV" por las siglas en inglés de Resource-based view) inicialmente promovida por Penrose (1959) y luego expandida por otros académicos como Wernerfelt 1984, Barney 1991, y Conner, 1991.

Aunque el punto de vista "basado en los recursos de la empresa" reconoce la importancia de los conocimientos en las empresas que logran una ventaja competitiva, los defensores de la visión basada en el conocimiento sostienen que la perspectiva basada en los recursos no son suficientes. En concreto, la "RBV" trata al conocimiento como un recurso genérico, en lugar de tener características especiales. Por lo tanto, no distingue entre diferentes tipos de capacidades basadas en el conocimiento.
Las tecnologías de la información puede jugar un papel importante en la visión basada en el conocimiento de la empresa en la que los sistemas de información se utilizan para sintetizar, mejorar y acelerar a gran escala la gestión del conocimiento intra-e inter-empresa (Alavi y Leidner 2001).

La teoría basada en el conocimiento de la empresa constituye en realidad una teoría ha sido objeto de considerable debate. Académicos como Foss (1996) y Phelan y Lewin (2000).

De acuerdo con un notable defensor de la vista basada en el conocimiento de la empresa (RBV), "El conocimiento emergente visión de la empresa no es una teoría de la empresa en un sentido formal"

Hay poco material en español que destacar, pero existen algunas excepciones.

"The amazing variety of colorful species represented in this field guide are a feast for the mind and the eye, even if one is not planning on boarding the next plane for a birding trip to the subcontinent."—Dorothy Borders, Backyard Birder
"A guide to India has a lot of ground to cover, and with a growing cadre of local birders as part of an increasing middle class in the country, it's as apt to be used as extensively by Indians as by visitors to India, which makes it doubly important that it's right. . . . Both local and visiting birders have a lot to look forward to in this guide, but you'd expect nothing less from Princeton University Press. There are only a few options for those wishing to bird India, they're certainly fortunate that the one that's available is of such uniformly high quality."—Nate Swick, Drinking Bird
"The quality of the color plates and the amount of detailed information packed into this relatively compact field guide make this a top title for anyone interested in birds of the Indian Subcontinent and a must for any birder traveling to the region. I give Birds of India 4.5 Goldfinches out of 5."—Amy Evenstad, Magnificent Frigatebird
"I would recommend Birds of India: Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives for any birders who live in or will be traveling to visit India or one of its neighbors."—John Beetham, A DC Birding Blog
"Without a doubt, this user-friendly guide is a must for anyone heading to the Indian subcontinent or for those who simply want to add another remarkable field guide to their library. My next backpacking trip will hopefully be the Indian subcontinent and the Birds of India will certainly be the first item packed."—Ethan Kistler, Nomadic Birder
"What a beautiful book. Since I was a child, reading Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, I have wanted to go to India. I haven't made it yet, but if I ever get to go, this book will be in my suitcase, even if something else has to be left out."—Penny Miller, A Charm of Finches
"Even if you have the first edition of the Birds of India: Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, you will benefit enormously from this second edition. . . . Comprehensive and authoritative, this is an indispensable guide for anyone birding anywhere in the Indian Subcontinent."—Frank Lambert, Birder's Library
"This latest book on the birds of India becomes the one to own and the one use in the field, and although no one will find themselves alone in India, I can heartily recommend Birds Of India as a worthy companion for any birder planning to visit there, or indeed any part of the Indian subcontinent. It will also follow someone around by fitting into a rucksack or a large pocket."—Another Bird Blog

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Gov. Mary Fallin says she will retire from politics when she steps down as governor in January and will not pursue elective office again.
Fallin later was elected the first female lieutenant governor, a position she held for 12 years. She then served in the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms before being elected in 2010 as the first female governor of Oklahoma.
Fallin and her husband, Wade Christensen, have six children and recently welcomed their first grandchild.


Mariah Taylor, who has directed the North Portland Nurse Practitioners Community Health Clinic for nearly 26 years, will not be returning as director when she comes back to the clinic as a nurse practitioner in March following medical leave. The clinic's board reportedly recently asked her to step down as director. Efforts by The Skanner to reach Taylor and former board member Kelly Clark, who recently became the board's attorney, for comments were unsuccessful.

The 3 men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery to appeal their convictions
By Terry Shropshire
Ahmaud Arbery (Image source: Facebook.com / @irunwithmaud)
The three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia, in February 2020, are now appealing their convictions.
Greg McMichael, 65, and son Travis, 35, along with neighbor William Roddie Bryan Jr., 52, were found guilty of murder and other felony charges for chasing down and executing Arbery with a shotgun while he jogged in a predominantly White enclave in this seaside Georgia city about four hours southeast of Atlanta.
Jason Sheffield and Bob Rubin, attorneys for Travis Michael, told CNN that they are already discussing in what courtroom they plan to appeal his conviction.
"I can tell you honestly, these men are sorry for what happened to Ahmaud Arbery," Sheffield asserts. "They are sorry that he is dead. They are sorry for the tragedy that happened because of the choices that they made to go out there and try to stop him."
"We believe the appellate courts will reverse this conviction," Bryan's attorney, Kevin Gough, added.
All three men face up to life in prison without parole when they are sentenced in early 2022. Moreover, the murderers were also indicted on federal charges of committing a hate crime and kidnapping and are expected to stand trial in February.
The lead prosecutor in the state case doesn't believe the three men have much of a leg to stand on.
"You can't start it and claim self-defense," the lead prosecutor argued in her closing statements. "And they started this."

They have the right to an appeal , But in their case it will not do any good it's a waste of money, They had many choices They did not have to shoot him, That was murder he wasn't armed . And main thing he was not a threat

my opinion, hard evidence like this case has, the men should put to death the exact same way, And should be done expeditiously

The melding of process and subject make this landscape work especially compelling, both visually and conceptually. Kyra submitted this project to Crusade for Art, and I have come back to it again and again. I think you will too.
Transcriptions is an investigation of how we experience the universe by way of nature and how the photographic medium can exemplify or transform this experience. It is an evaluation of representation of the landscape as a means to propose alternative ways of experiencing a place. My goal is to present a dialogue between the landscape and the photograph itself to challenge our preconceptions of what a document can be.
By focusing on the surface of photographic materials and light, time, chemical, and digital interactions, this work explores integral features of photography in order to reveal new ways of experiencing the visual, material, and ephemeral aspects of environment. I use the natural environment of each site to produce camera-less imagery while simultaneously exploring both the macro and micro vistas of a place. The camera-less prints are then superimposed onto digitally captured images of the landscapes within which they were created as a way to ground each piece within its site of origin. Here, the medium is the message and it opens up a multiplicity of meanings to present views that are outside of our limited perception and only made visual through the inherences of photographic recording processes. In this context, I hope to propose ways of thinking about how the medium's materials and processes combine to create meaning and spark imagination.

Christopher Mills has a reputation for delivering highly creative events collaborating with some of the world's leading planners, private clients and brands including the likes of Valentino, Tiffany & Co, Goldman Sachs, The Rolling Stones, Dreamworks and Universal Pictures International. For the last ten years, he's been at the forefront of the events industry, and most recently as Creative Director of The Events Mill, a pioneering practice renowned for its innovative approach to design and production.From conception to delivery, The Events Mill ensures that every element oozes curiosity, imagination, sophistication and glamour. Christopher and his team love to surprise and indulge, delight and entertain – offering a truly bespoke service that showcases the sublime and extraordinary.
5 Star Weddings: Where do you get your inspiration?
Christopher Mills: Without wanting to sound cheesy, I am inspired by everything and anything. My imagination is fuelled by those moments in life that make your hair stand on end – those moments that will remain with you forever. I grew up in the world of Disney magic, and I am still convinced that we all have a Tinkerbelle sprinkling dust over our heads, transporting us into a world of the sublime and extraordinary – that sprinkle of Disney magic that makes us curious imaginative beings. I think it's these magical moments in life that stay with us, and which ultimately push us to fulfill our dreams. With a dose of imagination, a heap of conviction and the ability to believe, anything is possible.
5 Star Weddings: Design over desire – what's more important?
Christopher Mills: Deep down people have an idea of what they want from their wedding. More often than not people just want to have fun. They simply want to go to the ball and to see their childhood dreams become reality. Long standard traditions really do stand strong, but each wedding must be filled with that individual's personal wishes and desires. As a wedding designer it is my role to balance dreams and to make them into a reality. Often I am commissioned to interpret my own design and can relate to the good fairies from Sleeping Beauty – some like it green, whilst others like it blue – above all though, Cinderella's Fairy God Mother wins every time, as much like her it is simply my wish to ensure you go to the ball to dance at the wedding of your dreams. The couple's desires are always my priority.
5 Star Weddings: Where best describes your design aesthetic?
Christopher Mills: Beautiful and intelligent. The Events Mill really is a practice that has an unfettered approach to design, limited only by the extent of the imagination. I draw inspiration from a plethora of design disciplines, applying these back into a way that can be used as part of the live experience. We specialise in sensory, theatrical and immersive events, which are beautiful, unique and entertaining. I have the pleasure of working with some of the wedding industry's finest wedding planners, such as By Bruce Russell, and will extend their design service to clients and create extraordinary experiences – here is a recent example of a Madame Butterfly themed wedding that I designed for a client of Bruce Russell. I particularly love the drape system and reveal into a previously unseen space where Madame Butterfly will sing her love aria whilst entertaining guests.
5 Star Weddings: What themes do you like working with?
Christopher Mills: The more challenging and unusual the better – I can create a story with any single idea. When I am conceptualising a theme it is incredibly important that the finished result is streamlined, consistent, relevant and perfectly placed. Often, themes are centered on a specific narrative, design aesthetic or location, however I bring all of these elements together to create an overall experience that is original. Much like method acting, our work tends to be all encompassing, immersing our guests entirely into the moment, and never compromising on quality and finish.
5 Star Weddings: What makes, in your opinion a 5 star wedding designer?
Christopher Mills: I think the ability to realize any clients' wildest dreams and to always aspire above expectations. From a practical level as a designer, I lead on the process from idea to design, and from production and reveal, continuously inspiring my clients with new design ideas, twists and turns. Above all it is to create an experience that is everlasting and to aspire to create a moment when your whole body shakes with excitement every time you think back. It doesn't always have to be new, but it always has to be delivered with absolute finesse, extraordinary detail and passion that make the hair on your arms stand on end.
5 Star Weddings: So how does the process work?
Christopher Mills: I am able to work with a couple to curate an original experience, or from an idea that has been considered and discussed in advance. The planning process is the most exciting part. We work closely with our clients to develop the most fitting concept for their brief, with a vast amount of time invested in research to ensure each idea can be executed seamlessly. The Events Mill is a full service design solution that conceptualises, produces and delivers each wedding in its entirety.
5 Star Weddings: If you could design any sort of experience, what would you design?
Christopher Mills: I love the experiential world, creating nostalgic experiences that awaken the senses and create entertaining moments that transport guests to another moment in their life. Our design aesthetic uses all of the senses to really enhance the overall experience, inviting guests to explore in their own way, and to create a long lasting impression that is with them forever.
5 Star Weddings: Any advice you can give?
Christopher Mills: Always be open minded and never scared of creativity. Always go with your gut instinct and have conviction in your decisions. If you're dreaming about it, then it's probably right, so go for it!

Call of Duty Playthrough Pt7 - Infinite Warfare
A special series playthrough review – Part seven, Infinite Warfare
A Rage Quit Review
FBT is in space, in the future and infuriated. In space no one can hear you rage quit
So far we've beaten Germans, Russians, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, South and Latin America, Africa and the Middle East plus an AI, technophobes, traitors and miscellaneous; now we're at war with people who are just unsociable. Getting desperate aren't we.
In some future or other, humans have colonised the solar system. But the outer planets secede, forming the Settlement Defence Front and become isolationists before declaring war on Earth. I can't wait for the Battle of Uranus. So who's going to stop the SDF? Captain Nick Reyes of the United Nations Space Alliance. Unfortunately.
At a 4th July-style celebration, the UNSA decides to put ALL their navy on display. The SDF launches a surprise attack - surprising to everyone but us – and Reyes is forced to assume command of the last Battlestar or something. Dutifully followed about by the far more interesting Lt. Nora Salter, Reyes is a Poundland Shepard; he worries about choices, about losing men, about Earth yet isn't decisive or a leader; he refuses to accept sacrifice, which surely is the basic understanding of any soldier, even though he's reminded of it constantly; Nora claims he's changed since he became captain but literally nothing about him changes. There's no moral choices that would help Reyes understand and the game removes any responsibility anyway, so anyone who gets killed is someone else's fault.
If there was ever a CoD crying out for character shifting it's this one - and not just because of how boring Reyes is; it would make sense for once. We should command as Reyes to get intel and pick missions then play who he sends, letting you decide the tone of the mission and have to accept the risk of sending them. That's the burden of command. Instead, he insists on leading missions so men don't die for him – except all the NPCs that is – which makes no sense. Come on, you're already ripping off Mass Effect 2, just build on it, make it logical. Nora is an Ash knock-off anyway, and we have a Legion.
Meet Ethan, an AI Robot with a mischievous streak; conning Nora into thinking he has a human brain (a simple farmer's brain at that), convincing Marines he'll overthrow humanity one day, he's beyond the call of duty brilliant and the one bright spot in this otherwise dour, dull game; a scene where he and Reyes are 'spaced' and there's no hope for survival is affecting - that I'm sad to see the robot go and not Reyes says everything. I'm gonna be Nora now? Nope, they're saved?! But there's a great recovery in a comment that Ethan had to be prised off Reyes' body, having protected his captain until he shut down - but Ethan's only awesome in the cut-scenes and in-game dialogue. He's criminally underused within the gameplay, just another NPC - at one point he gets described as a 'stiff metal motherfucker' but we never see him motherfucking. Half the time I don't even notice him. How do you rip off every other awesome metal motherfucker in gaming then not utilise them? D0g took down a strider in Episode Two, what does Ethan do in-game? Nothing. I'm joining the geth.
Actually, that's an insult to the Geth. At least they were sentient. Here, more often than not we're fighting bland robots programmed by a CoD Zombie. Boring. But then, look who they have for a boss. The SFD is led by a general who is so panto evil he makes Lord Dark Helmet look like a credible threat. Spewing lines like "it's not enough we break free, we must break them!" it's hard to imagine the outer planets take him seriously let alone us; he's played by Kit Harrington so on top of his tantrums, he constantly looks like he's about to burst into tears. If the SDF are extremists then that needs to be explored; why must they break us? All we get is a laughable, boo-hiss kids tv villain?
So, not wanting to upset anyone, Reyes instigates lots of small, forgettable campaigns; I'm sure they're effective but I'm bored. Although there's multiple approaches within the levels, SDF always have all the exits covered so you never feel like you've outsmarted them. You're just going through the motions. Where's the hail-mary passes, the desperate chances? I thought this was a losing war, most of the time it feels like business as usual. There's no pressure, no momentum and we have side-missions to further dilute the desperation plus loads of zero-g and flying missions which somehow the game makes mundane. I only do one side mission and that's because it was set on Uranus. Most of this game feels like padding, and the rest is just watching.
We watch Reyes open and close doors, get in and out of space ships, travel in elevators; anything to avoid a decision. Then there's hours of cut-scenes. The biggest irony here is I wanted a story, and this time I've got too much story. The writing, especially around Ethan and Reyes is good but there's no connection; it falls into the same trap as ME Andromeda, which it's clearly trying to ape; interesting set-up but no follow-through, missions that don't mean anything, personal drama you can't connect to. It does feel like a pilot, leaving a lot unsaid so new games can pick up the threads, but there's nothing to do here, in the now.
There's huge action moments but they're all background noise or so derivative you're taken out of it, shocked at how shameless it is … there is a sequence on an robot-controlled asteroid that's headed for the sun which is dizzily spinning above our heads. Cool, but … you can only move in the shadows or the sun will burn you ... I'm here for Tali, right?
When it's not ripping off better games it's stealing from stable-mates. It lifts so much from earlier CoD entries I keep expecting to see Riley float by. This is not how you start a franchise, by cannibalising your own games and stealing from others, and it feels budget and technologically old; NCPs salute the door when I'm already 20 feet into the room, they talk to nothing, get trapped in doorways or ignore enemies in front of them. Reyes often gets stuck or blocked and it crashed regularly, which just made playing it more laborious.
Finally, Reyes puts in motion a plan that fails spectacularly and gets loads more people killed; still, wasn't his fault and it all worked out so mission accomplished. What a hero. Reyes then watches Rogue One and gets an idea for a one-way mission; problem is we're not invested in any of the characters - save Ethan - so when Reyes does a sub-Shepard speech about how they have no way out but must succeed for Earth, we're relieved instead of worried; that means it's ending soon. As the crew dwindles (mostly via less than subtle examples of sacrifice; will you just learn it already?!) I realise I got all the way through without rage quitting. But I get my moment when it ends on a survivor staring at a memorial wall with all our lost crew names on it. Skip scene, rage quit.
This should be called Derivative Warfare. But the real issue is we're a spaceman not a soldier and by focusing on command, CoD lost its niche - it's brilliance wasn't in the epic setting that a space drama requires or the burden of command, it was the regular grunt doing his bit. CoD is a genre unto itself, and this isn't a CoD game.
It's almost sad that IW completely failed; this much-vaunted new era of CoD was quietly dropped and the series returned to its roots with WWII. It's sad because no one else was doing modern warfare anywhere near as well – even games I despised like Black Ops III were still cracking shooters ultimately. Infinite Warfare ruined Modern CoD for everyone.
So the only way forward now is back. With all those advancements, a return to a WWII setting could be the best CoD game since CoD. They can't mess up WWII can they?
Read FBT's final CoD review as he plays WWII and ends this mega playthrough.

Q: stripe is not defined; please fix or add /*global Stripe*/ I searched around a bit and couldn't find my answer.
I'm running into the following errors when running my app from CoderManual.com:
My .js file says "stripe is not defined; please fix or add /*global Stripe*/"
And when I run the app through C9 I get
"Stripe::InvalidRequestError in Users::RegistrationsController#create"
Don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.
.js file reads:
$(document).ready(function() {
  Stripe.setPublishableKey($('meta[name="stripe-key"]').attr('content'));
  // Watch for a form submission:
  $("#form-submit-btn").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $('input[type=submit]').prop('disabled', true);
    var error = false;
    var ccNum = $('#card_number').val(),
        cvcNum = $('#card_code').val(),
        expMonth = $('#card_month').val(),
        expYear = $('#card_year').val();
    if (!error) {
      // Get the Stripe token:
      Stripe.createToken({
        number: ccNum,
        cvc: cvcNum,
        exp_month: expMonth,
        exp_year: expYear
      }, stripeResponseHandler);
    }
    return false;
  });

registrations_controller.rb reads:
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  def create
    super do |resource|
      if params[:plan]
        resource.plan_id = params[:plan]
        if resource.plan_id == 2
          resource.save_with_payment
        else
          resource.save
        end
      end
    end
  end

end

I installed Stripe as show @ GitHub to no avail.
I do have js.stripe.com referenced in my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Dev Match</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all' %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "https://js.stripe.com/v2/", type: 'text/javascript' %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %>
  <%= tag :meta, :name => "stripe-key", :content => STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>

A: I'm running into the same issue, also on the coder manual course. I added debugger; to line 14 (in the ifstatement but before Stripe.createToken of the users.js file to stop the script running (if it was?) just before the API call to stripe.
Adding the debugger stopped the script. So it does seem to run. Letting the script resume leads to same error you mentioned.
Moving the debugger; over to after the API call but still in the if statement also lets the script run without errors till its halted.
Moving the debugger; over yet another line (after the return false;) leads to the error before the code stops executing because of the debugger;
The chrome console gives this error in the log:
POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/tokens 400 (Bad Request) which expands to: Stripe.isDoubleLoaded.c Stripe.isDoubleLoaded.e``Stripe.isDoubleLoaded.a Stripe.isDoubleLoaded.Stripe.xhr``Stripe.a._rawRequest``Stripe.a.request``Stripe.token.a.create``Stripe.card.b.createToken``Stripe.a._channelListener``t.concat.incoming
The problem seems to be in the actual API call. But at least its making the call ;)

A: Finally managed to figure this one out.
The error is because the stripe API does not return a token. The ommission of any kind of errorhandling in the script makes this hard to see, let alone figure out why. I added the response from the stripe API to a text field in the form and commented out the submit (both in the users.js) Then the silly error reveals itself. The card is simply not excepted as valid. The codermanual uses 4111111.. as trial number and this is no longer accepted by stripe.
Try 42424242424242 and life will be sweet.
