![]() For example, three mirrors create a series of complex triangular reflections. Three or more mirrors will result in a design that fills the entire space with even more intricate geometric patterns and their seemingly endless reflections. ![]() The two-mirror construction creates a design of wedge reflections filling 360 degrees with a black background. ![]() The way the object reflections move from side to side and combine with others in this symmetrical dance form the patterns that make kaleidoscopes so delightful. The final reflection (6 o'clock) shows the bead once again on the right-hand edge. And it appears on the left-hand edges in the fifth set of reflections (7 o'clock and 5 o'clock). The blue bead appears on the right-hand edge in the fourth set of reflections (8 o'clock and 4 o'clock). The third set of reflections (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock) shows the blue bead back on the left-hand edge. The reflections at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock are the second set of reflections the blue bead appears on the right-hand edges of these wedges. Given the way light hits a mirror and reflects away at the same angle, a blue bead placed at the right-hand edge of the original wedge would appear in the same position on the left-hand edges of the first set of reflections. If the original wedge is at the very top (at 12 o'clock on a clock face), the reflections on its right and left (11 o'clock and 1 o'clock) are the first reflections of the original image. In a two-mirror kaleidoscope, a 30-degree wedge has 11 reflections. The more precisely the mirrors or reflective surfaces are joined together, the more precise the resulting symmetrical images will be. In a kaleidoscope, each repeated image is symmetrical in relation to the image beside it. Commonly, you'd say that they're mirror images of each other. If you draw a line down the center of a symmetrical object, the halves on either side of the line are the same. This is due in part to the principle of symmetry. Even the simplest collection of ordinary buttons, beads or glass pieces is transformed into an intricate and beautiful design when a kaleidoscope does its work. The smaller the slice, the more times it appears.įortunately, the image in the average kaleidoscope is far more interesting than pizza. If the slice is half that size - a 45-degree angle - it's reflected eight times in the image. In a kaleidoscope with two mirrors, that pizza slice appears four times in the image at the end of the kaleidoscope. For example, if your slice is one-fourth of the whole pizza, the angle is 90 degrees. The size of the angle determines how many times that slice is reflected. The fatter the wedge, the wider the angle is at its point the thinner the wedge, the smaller the angle. Each pizza slice or triangle in the kaleidoscope is a portion of that. However, if you put that slice of pizza between two angled mirrors, what you'd see would look almost like a whole pizza made up of numerous reflections of that one slice, side by side.īasic geometry tells us that a circle, like a complete pizza, is 360 degrees around. A single slice might represent the objects that are displayed in the vee-shaped or triangular area of a kaleidoscope. But the art lasts only a few moments before it's replaced by the next amazing image.Ĭonsider a pizza cut into wedge slices. Perhaps it's part of the appeal of the kaleidoscope that such a low-tech device can create a never-ending array of beautiful - sometimes breathtaking - art. Generations of people over the past two centuries have shared this experience, but none have ever viewed identical images. No matter how long you played with that fascinating device, or how many times you turned or shook the end, you never saw the exact same pattern twice. Perhaps you were skeptical, but when you peered in, you were amazed by the burst of color and intricate design at the other end. Remember the first time someone handed you a kaleidoscope and invited you to look inside? You may have heard a rattling in the far end of the brightly-colored cardboard tube as you lifted it to your eye like a spyglass. The artistry of kaleidoscope design is limitless, influenced by the choice of materials, light source and the creativity of the creator.Teleidoscopes, a special type of kaleidoscope, use reflections of the user's surroundings (instead of internal objects) to create patterns.Kaleidoscopes create captivating patterns using mirrors and objects like colored glass, beads and confetti, with designs varying based on the mirror configuration and the items used.

![]() Not what you know but what you can learn, which is why I feel being humble about what you do know is so critical. If you are a competent developer then you can effectively learn anything if you need to, that's what matters. Everyone has their own slice of the technical pie, and that is OK. The only point I was making is that no one knows everything, whether just front or back. That is a completely honest and accurate statement. You like to call yourself a full stack developer, if I asked you that question: "Where are your strengths"? Would you say you are equally good at everything? Or could you specify and say, "I am competent full stack dev with this specific tech stack". ![]() What I do never really changes, I just try to learn stuff and use the best tools I can within the constraints I am given. I've gone from analyst to lead to programmer to engineer to consultant etc etc. But if I did the whole thing myself it would look like the front of that horse. I didn't become a JavaScript rock star but I wrote good, maintainable code. Pushing more on the front end improved my skills. We'd collaborate a lot on the front end, tweaking the HTML and behavior. Then, right at the point where it came time to apply CSS I'd hand it off to people who were really good at it. The most fun I had was on a team where I would develop everything from the backend database and services to the front-end rendering and JavaScript. I see it more as making fun of what happens when the industry invents a useless, meaningless label and then pressures developers to identify with it. What I instantly saw is that someone knows how to draw an entire horse, but they're much better at drawing one part of it than at drawing the other. In other words, if there is an offense, who is the offended party? I was looking for the part where you say that you or one of your friends is a full stack developer, but didn't see it. You didn't explain why you take it personally. Go Home: 4 Techniques That Help You Leave Work At Work ![]() If you liked this article, consider reading: What do you think? Has your company pushed too hard for split UI/Backend teams? Have they pushed too hard for full stack teams? Are there other ways to keep collaboration and empathy high? Let’s just work on the API and the UI together. I don’t want to wait 2 weeks for the backend developer to get back to me with a new API so I can finally start my UI task. And I’m accepting the fact that I’ve been burnt by teams before that were not truly operating like a team. it’s that you shouldn’t cast judgement on your emotions- you should accept them. And if I’ve learned anything from the Buddhist scholars that I use as research for this blog. I know that I shouldn’t be so bothered by this but I am. Each person will always have their strengths and weaknesses, but together the team should be fully autonomous and productive. Modern web development is pushing hard for “full stack teams” not “full stack devs.” If there was an image like that of me, it would be a horse with mostly the ribs and the abdomen shaded in. people can help out in a pinch (if needed).better estimates since everyone has passing familiarity with each layer of the stack.I think the best rationale for a “full stack dev” is that the healthiest teams are full of empathetic people who are willing to put themselves in the shoes of any member of their team (regardless of where they specialize) so they can learn about the challenges of their teammates. I’d prefer that managers and leads invert their thinking or at least open up to the notion of a happy, autonomous team. Listen, our users don’t care about our architecture, they care about the code working end-to-end. All too often, managers stand behind tired ideas like “there is no full stack developer” and then force team structures that prevent good, quick conversations. It’s a funny meme, but we need less walls and more bridges. I’d also take a “partial stack” dev if they are curious (described below). Personally, I would take that meme image in a heartbeat. If you were building a team, would you rather have that meme image above, or a developer who only knows one part of the system? The meme above could potentially be casting shade on “full stack devs” by depicting them as a drawing of a horse but where only the backend is drawn out.

Innovative solutions spring up day by day with a new generation of targeted interventions based on genomic analysis for a wide variety of diseases, being more efficient and causing fewer side effects than some treatments available today. This entails sequencing all of an organism’s chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast.” – Wikipedia “Whole genome sequencing is the process of determining the entirety, or nearly the entirety, of the DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time. It affects pharmaceutical decisions, lifestyle and dietary choices, disease prevention plans, the human aging process and life expectancy in general. When the price of genome sequencing reaches that of a blood test – it is already dropping below $1000 – and the data analysis will happen according to layers (and special pricing according to the various batches of information!), we will see how many areas of our lives genetic information impacts. Before you start worrying, I can assure you: it will come. Researchers said that learning about the functions of genes and proteins will have a major impact in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and life sciences.Īlthough the technical conditions, the time and the cost of sequencing genomes were reduced by a factor of 1 million in less than 10 years, the revolution lags behind.

A live spectrum is displayed at the top, to help you identify problem frequencies and show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through the plugin in real time. Add in a Mid/Side mode and low cut filtering and you’ll find DERES is a formidable asset for a wide range of resonance reduction tasks.ĭERES is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. Utilize the Excite control to infuse air into all sounds post-resonance removal, elevating presence and sparkle to rejuvenate any lost energy. Boosting frequencies neighbouring those cleared by resonance removal, the Compensate knob adds a touch of brightness to counteract any perceived darkness in the processed signal. DERES compensates for that with a suite of useful functions: Use the Tone button to adjust the tonal balance of supporting instruments such as pads and strings by applying convolution response and removing unnecessary frequencies. Alternatively, you can add in an advanced dynamic mode, for more musical processing that only steps in when you really need it.Ĭarving out bothersome frequencies cleans up the signal but can sometimes make the audio sound a little flat. Normal static mode will cut resonances in a linear way. Use the Octave knob to quickly reduce the relative components of the main frequency so you catch all those problem peaks. Tweak the Q value to widen or narrow the factor, catching more or less of the surrounding frequencies.Ī normal surgical EQ will only be effective on one tight frequency slice, whereas DERES can process all the multiple harmonics of your chosen frequency. Then dial in the Reduce parameter to apply the processing, resulting in a cleaner signal. Sweep the 1-8 kHz range with the Find knob to easily identify unusual peaks that sound overly muddy or harsh. The dedicated Listen button should be your first gadget in the DERES toolbag, allowing you to isolate irritating resonances with ease by exaggerating the frequencies. Clarity is king, so make sure you clean house before you even touch that mixdown. It's like having X-ray vision for your soundwaves, dynamically adjusting resonant peaks in a musical way. Then use the user-friendly interface and streamlined workflow to nix those nasty noises. With preview functions, you can sneak a peek into annoying interferences before your cleanup operation. Enter DERES, where resonances meet their match! This plugin is your resonance-killing footsoldier, coming to the rescue to obliterate muddy sounds and pesky overtones that have been invading your productions. But here’s the headache - nothing kills the vibe quicker than hidden resonances and unruly harmonics creeping in to trash your mix. It's all about that magical combination of sounds that can either make or break a track. Whether it's stacking synths or building bass lines, layering multiple instruments always creates a huge sonic impact. ![]() Similarity of Source and Target Data Structures. We’ll address each area in the following sections. These factors influence the approach to loading the data warehouse, which also affects the cost of the solution (in labor and/or products), and its ease of development, understandability, and How will the ETL processes be scheduled?.To what extent are source and target platforms interoperable?.What is the volume and frequency of load?.What in-house expertise does your shop have?.What technology does management feel comfortable with?.How “complex” are the data relationships?.What kinds of dependencies exist in the data?.How similar are the source and target data structures?.While an ETL solution belongs in the application architecture, the data, technology, and “person” architectures also influence the ETL approach. Products, features, and prices often come from the marketing Customer (people) data may come from customer care systems, marketing databases, or third-party databases. Common subject areas include customer, product, marketing, and sales. The data source also depends on what subject area(s) is implemented in the data warehouse.
