Vampyrus







Philippus Burne-Jones: vampyrus anno 1897


Vampyrus (-i, m.) est monstri genus in fabulis gentium Europaearum orientalium, cadaver quasi vivum, magnis dentibus caninis praeditum, quibus venas praedae suae, hominum dico vivorum, aperit, ut sanguinem exsugat.


Alii alia vampyris attribuunt, sed haec fere sunt tralaticia:



  • vampyros esse nocturnos nec posse solis lumen tolerare,

  • nisi invitatos eos non posse domicilia intrare,

  • vampyros posse animos hominum magna vi charismatis magici vincire,

  • vampyros repelli (et fortasse damnum accipere) posse:


    • crucibus in sese directis

    • aqua benedicta in se sparsa


    • allio vel portis vel fenestris vel praedis affixo ipsis,



  • vampyros iam dudum mortuos non posse solitis modis interfici, sed potius:

    • capite absciso oreque allio referto

    • corde palo ligneo transfixo,



  • vampyros posse se in nebulas, vespertiliones, luposve transformare.

Updating UILabel text programmatically using a function

Image
0 so I am trying to update the UIlabel text using a func. I have seen few other questions like mine and I tried their method but it doesn't work. fun returns no value when used in the UIlabel. I have shown my code below.It has to be noted that when I use the function in viewdidload I can retrieve the data. lazy var name: UILabel = { let lb = UILabel() lb.text? = getthename() lb.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.byWordWrapping lb.textColor = .mainGreen lb.textAlignment = .left lb.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize:12.0) return lb }() func getthename() -> String { var wins : String = "" let ud = (Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid) self.ref = Database.database().reference() self.ref.child("Users").child(ud!).observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: {(snapshot) in

Cloud Functions - OpenCV Videocapture Read method fails for larger files from cloud storage

0 I created a cloud function to read a video file from cloud storage and read frames and create an image for each frame. This function works for small files which is 1-2 MB, However, this method fails while reading larger file 130 MB. import cv2 from google.cloud import storage vidcap = cv2.VideoCapture("https://storage.googleapis.com/[bucker_name]/[filename.mp4]") if vidcap.isOpened(): vidcap.open("https://storage.googleapis.com/[bucker_name]/[filename.mp4]") success,image = vidcap.read() print(success) Expected the print will return true and an image will hold an image of a first frame. python-3.x function opencv cloud share | improve this question
