Practice: Imagine that you work for a vacation resort, and you are trying to attract visitors. But it’s perfectly normal to use the passive occasionally. Most of the time it’s helpful to know who or what did the action of the verb. It’s true that we don’t want to use the passive too much. I heard that we should avoid using the passive, especially in writing. NOT: Paper got invented in China, because inventions don’t happen in a sudden, unexpected way. For example, I got fired or I got hurt playing soccer. This form works best with actions that happen suddenly or unexpectedly. Why? Sometimes you can use ‘get’ instead of ‘be’ as a more casual way of speaking in the passive. Sometimes I hear people say “I got hit” instead of “I was hit”. Fun fact: If someone says you’re a ‘doer’, it can mean that you’re an efficient person who gets things done rather than just talking about it. Someone who teaches is a teacher someone who does is a doer. ![]() *What do you mean by ‘doer’? A doer (pronounced do-er) is someone who does an action. Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on the usage. How do you know if a verb is transitive or intransitive? A good dictionary should tell you. This passive sentence is technically correct, but you won’t often hear indirect objects used with the passive.Active: I slept in my bed (indirect object).Happen is intransitive, so it can’t be used in the passive. Passive: It was happened something funny.Active: Something funny happened (no object).This works because ‘hit’ is transitive.Since an intransitive verb doesn’t use a direct object, an intransitive verb can’t be used in a passive sentence. Therefore, you need a direct object in order to use the passive. How does this relate to the passive? Remember that in a passive sentence, the object takes the place of the doer. (An indirect object usually comes after a preposition, like in.) But still, there is no direct object in the sentence. You don’t sleep something you just sleep! Keep in mind that an intransitive verb can use an indirect object. For example, in the sentence I was sleeping, the verb sleep doesn’t use a direct object. For example, in the sentence I broke the glass, the glass is a direct object because it is directly affected by the verb broke.Īn intransitive verb doesn’t use a direct object. Now that you know the basics of the passive, you’ll need to consider one more thing: transitive versus intransitive verbs. In example 4, naming Linda might embarrass her, so we can use the passive instead to focus on the situation rather than the person at fault.It may be more polite not to name the doer.In this way, the passive can be used to discuss production and manufacturing. We know farmers grow crops, so we don’t have to include the doer. In example 3, the topic is the corn rather than the farmers who grow it.The doer doesn’t need to be mentioned, because it is understood/implied.In example 2, I didn’t see who stole my wallet.In this way, the passive is often used to discuss injuries. In example 1 above, I hope I am more important than the car that hit me! By using a passive sentence, I focus on myself rather than the car.The object is more important/relevant than the subject.There are several reasons why we might prefer to use the passive: Active: Linda in HR sent the contract to the wrong person.Passive: The contract was sent to the wrong person.Passive: Corn is grown in Iowa (by farmers).We often omit the doer, but it can be included after the preposition ‘by’. In a passive sentence, the subject is no longer the doer. In that case, we can change the structure of the sentence to the passive voice. Sometimes we don’t want to include the doer in the sentence. For example, in the active sentence Julie ate the pizza, Julie does the action. When the subject is the doer of the verb, the voice is active. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer* or agent of the verb. The typical English sentence is structured SVO (subject + verb + object). ![]() ![]() Ready to start planning?

But because Intel Macs were mostly just PCs under the hood, the company could rely on Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom, and other companies to actually provide drivers for most of the important components. To run a fully functional copy of Windows on Apple Silicon Macs, someone would need to re-create this driver work for Windows, too.Īpple provided some Windows drivers for Intel Macs for components like its mice and trackpads. They have explicitly developed the ability to securely run third-party OSes and bootloaders on these machines, and left the rest to us." "We do not have any expectations of direct support, documentation, or additional development effort from them, nor do we expect them to attempt to hinder third-party OSes in any deliberate way. "Apple's approach to third-party OSes is essentially 'have fun,'" explains the Asahi Linux Introduction to Apple Silicon. It's really, really, really difficult to instill that type of work ethic into Windows and Linux developers, not impossible, but not likely either.Further Reading Four-person dev team gets Apple’s M-series GPU working in Linux ![]() I have a totally different expectation of my OS than my peers though - people get used to basic things being broken so they stop complaining imo whereas if you are using an OS that is rarely broken and have features that just work w/ ease then your expectations become higher. Virtualizing other platforms and burning through my CPU and/or battery life is not fun at all so it really is ideal to go remote on that stuff any ways.Īnd as hard as I tried to switch to Linux full time I kept making sacrifices I didn't like making, while Windows just forced workflows on me that I didn't like and broken implementations of features that I use on the daily or certainly weekly that are not an issue or as much of an issue on macOS. Initially I was kinda upset over the transition but now that I have very solid remote solutions in place for Windows & Linux I actually don't care that much. In the years following though Apple has really proved themselves though in having the most competent OS imo and they can risk switching architectures. Had Apple not done that then I think they'd still be languishing in obscurity to this day - particularly with the mass number of devs they have now on their platform.Įven if an ARM architecture would have been ready for them to jump from PowerPC to ARM back in the day they'd have skipped over an entire generation of devs that switched to macOS or OSX at the time BECAUSE it was intel and they could finally play nice with Windows and Linux if wanted or desired. I used to emulate PowerPC on x86 too before Apple released 10.4 Tiger on x86 officially and it was such a night and day difference to finally have a native port to x86. Clearly it can be done better when you know your APIs well like Apple and MS do and they can write software layers to handle x86 compiled exe's - doing that to an entire OS is impractical though.

The usage of the Digit Sequencing test to measure attention is a controversial topic. MRI scans also indicate an activation of the prefrontal cortex during the test ( Owen et al., 2000). There’s a link established between the prefrontal cortex functions and working memory. The extra effort required in the backward version of the test can be linked to intelligence.Ĭognitive impairments. Originally designed as a part of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, the Digit Sequencing test can indicate correlations between one’s working memory and overall intelligence. The test sheds some light on the process of encoding and receiving information, and also – on the way participants recall and verbalize their answers. As mentioned above, the Digit Span is a great tool to measure working memory and verbal working memory, in particular. The Digit Sequencing test has numerous applications in clinical practice and research. The ConductScience Digital Health mobile version of the test provides an engaging and easy-to-use platform to perform the Digit Span test.īoth options are available upon request: the ability for audible sequence priming or visual sequence priming with the ability for the respondent to answer with visual buttons on the screen. In computer-administered Digit Span tests, the digits are presented on a screen, which eliminates any verbal and reading bias. Sometimes the participant is asked to repeat the sequence of digits backward. Usually, the examiner reads a list of numbers, and the participant repeats them until an incorrect answer is given ( Blackburn, 1957).

Note that usually, working memory is measured via three scales: Arithmetic, Digit Span, and Letter-Number Sequencing ( Lovett et al., 2011).

Simply Google free fonts and voila! there are tons of websites that offer fonts for free.
