![]() Houdini's set of tools are mostly implemented as operators. In this way Houdini can be regarded as a highly interactive visual programming toolkit which makes programming more accessible to artists. In this way users can create their own sophisticated tools without the need for programming. This node graph architecture is similar to that employed in node-based compositors such as Shake or Nuke.Ĭomplex networks can be grouped into a single meta-operator node which behaves like a class definition, and can be instantiated in other networks like any compiled node. This data could represent 3D geometry, bitmap images, particles, dynamics, shader algorithms, animation, audio, or a combination of these. Data flows through, manipulated by each operator in turn. Operators are connected together in networks. LOPs - Lighting Operators - for generating USD describing characters, props, lighting, and rendering.VOPs – VEX operators – for building nodes of any of the above types using a highly optimized SIMD architecture.ROPs – render operators – for building networks to represent different render passes and render dependencies. ![]() SHOPs – Shading Operator – for representing a dozen or more different shading types for several different renderers.DOPs – Dynamic Operators – for dynamic simulations for fluids, cloth, rigid body interaction etc.COPs – Composite Operators – used to perform compositing on footages.CHOPs – Channel Operators – for procedural animation and audio manipulation.POPs – Particle Operators – used to manipulate particles systems.SOPs – Surface Operators – for procedural modelling.OBJs – nodes that pass transform information (Traditionally these contain SOPs.).Houdini's operator-based structure is divided into several main groups: Houdini uses this procedural generation in production of textures, shaders, particles, "channel data" (data used to drive animation), rendering and compositing. This proceduralism has several advantages: it allows users to construct highly detailed geometric or organic objects in comparatively very few steps it enables and encourages non-linear development and new operators can be created in terms of existing operators, a flexible alternative to non-procedural scripting often relied on in other packages for customisation. Digital assets are generally constructed by connecting sequences of operators (or OPs). Houdini's procedural nature is found in its operators. However, any major scripting languages which support socket communication can interface with Houdini. Python is increasingly the scripting language of choice for the package, and is intended to substitute its original C Shell-like scripting language, HScript. Houdini is an open environment and supports a variety of scripting APIs. Plugin Development – development libraries for user extensibility. ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() The Leviathans will react to being damage, sometimes moving in an erratic manner, which means you might be launched from their back.
![]() ![]() This tendency depends on the magnitude of standard reduction potential. The activity of the metal depends on its tendency to lose electron or electrons, i.e., tendency to form cation (M' +). Far better to think of the NH4+ dissociating in the aqueous solution before reacting with the iron or zinc, in other words, the reaction with the metal is a reaction of H+ (or, actually, hydrated H+, or hydronium ion) after dissociation of NH4+ in the presence of H2O. Applications of Electrochemical Series Reactivity of Metals. The inner transition metals are in the two rows below the body of the table. Figure 19.1.2: The transition metals are located in groups 311 of the periodic table. You could imagine that adding iron or zinc to a solution of NH4+Cl- could evolve neutral NH4 which immediately decomposes to NH3 plus a hydrogen radical H., which then dimerizes to H2, and the NH3 immediately redissolves in the water. Actinium, Ac, is the first member of the fourth transition series, which also includes Rf through Rg. When we displace from a solution of ammonium salts, we wind up displacing hydrogen. A solution of NH4Cl (anion = Cl-) gives a pH of 5.13 ( ). ![]() As it turns out, the potentials are simply related to the concentration of H+ ion, which depends on the anion.Ī 0.1M ammonia solution (anion = OH-) has a pH of 11.122 ( ). The reaction could be examined on the basis of the pH, or concentration of H+ ions. The phase transition of mixed crystals of hydrogen and ammonia to metallic ammonium was found (by calculation) to take place at pressures almost certainly less than 250 kilobars, suggesting that Neptune and Uranus contain large deposits of metallic ammonium.īut on our world, the reaction of a metal like iron with a high concentration of NH4+ cation would produce H2, not NH4. A reactive cation will replace any cation. Metallic ammonium (NH4) has been considered for some off-world chemistry in a 1954 paper. How do you determine if a reaction will occur, or if one element will replace another Look at the activity series. Ammonium amalgam was discovered in 1808 by Humphry Davy and Jöns Jakob Berzelius.Ī recent (2016) paper gives the crystal ionic radius of ammonium as falling between 140 and 154 pm, depending on the anion this compares nicely with the atomic radius of mercury which is 150 - 155 pm, so an alloy is not inconceivable. Let's compare ammonium cation NH4+ and the neutral molecule, NH4 with other metals.Īs Ed V pointed out, with a mercury cathode and low concentration of H+, NH4+ can be reduced to NH4 electrolytically (also with sodium amalgam), which forms an amalgam that is stable for a short period of time: the mercury bubbles up, then collapses, evolving NH3 and H2. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() The problem with Reddit is that its product is ideological conformity but its owners are too busy pretending (or actually believing) that's not true to sell it honestly. >the only reason Reddit is even considering moving ahead with these changes is because they don't care There's absolutely going to be an exodus if Reddit does anything non-negligible, the only reason Reddit is even considering moving ahead with these changes is because they don't care. We're going to need those moderators to prevent the Apollo social network from becoming the next 4chan (because, hopefully you understand, that's a bad thing) Especially the moderators, who honestly control most of the community (though it's usually a bad thing). Also be aware that Reddit's community is different than Facebook, Twitter, YouTube they're a lot more tech-savvy, a lot more anonymous, favor NSFW a lot more, and a lot more anti-corporate. HN runs on 2 servers and uses a LISP dialect ( ) even though HN is text-only and Apollo would have images or videos, I'm 100% certain there are enough dedicated Reddit users who can make this a reality. Scaling is hard, but we're not scaling to Reddit's size (100+ million) and Mastodon has issues with scaling, but that's because their protocol is super-redundant in an effort to be decentralized (and apparently also kind of sucks). "Making a social network is hard." Yes, but it's not too hard. I believe HN has around 1.5-2.5 million and the content here is way better than Reddit. 1.5-2.5 million users are more than enough, especially considering most of them are power users. "There won't be as many people." That's ok, probably even a good thing. Like, there's nothing stopping this from developing right now. It's also something that's actually likely to succeed and within the community's control, unlike getting Reddit to change their stance. This is such a good idea even without Reddit's monetization and potentially blocking NSFW content. ![]() Most of them do not care if it is fediverse or open source or backed by web-scale k8s, they only want it to just work (tm) good enough to post things on it. One more thought: Keep the Apollo UI or whatever thing the users are most familiar with. Oh, and I think both forums in the story did not monetize as hard as reddit going to paid awards and memberships. The old forum now has a sort of boomer or mentally ill stigma to it. It exploded in popularity and quickly took over as the most popular message board among the youth. ![]() Then a couple years later, in 2017, the 3rd party client's devs launched its own forum reusing the client's name. Or something about caching and stealing ad revenue. Later on, one of the largest 3rd party client was blocked, because of they hammering the forum's servers too hard. I have a story to tell, about the demise of one of the largest internet forums in my language.Ībout ten years ago, when smartphones just started appearing, the forum did not have a mobile version, and there are various 3rd party clients on the App Store or Android Market. ![]() ![]() ![]() Give one of our reps a call or go online and buy your newly rebuilt transmission today.

It's because of her still being that person that her swerve into crime does not necessarily mean that she's a villain as well. Sharon is still the woman who stood at Peggy's funeral and quoted the "no, you move" speech - most famously associated with Steve in the comics. It may have taken us the weekend to get there, but hear us out. It's an unexpected route to take this character and leaving aside questions about how it was executed, it's not uninteresting. There will be plenty for everyone.Īssuming that her Power Broker persona isn't part of an elaborate long game, Sharon Carter has gone criminal. She now has access to all kinds of secrets and weapons. Sharon gets on her cell phone of doom (still not an iPhone despite the pardon) and tells someone to line up their buyers. The government seems thrilled to have a new "Agent Carter." Cut to outside the building after she's pardoned. In the mid-credits scene of the finale episode, "One World, One People," we see a senate committee full of morons give her a pardon and her old job back. This was revealed in a scene she had with Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman), who only had the serum in the first place thanks to Sharon. About a thousand shots of Sharon making shady phone calls - she doesn't use an iPhone, folks - made pretty much every viewer think Sharon herself was this mysterious Power Broker.Įverybody was right, Sharon Carter is the Power Broker. She helps our titular characters maneuver around a mysterious character called the "Power Broker" and get some truth about the super serum. This doesn't stop Sam and Bucky from asking for her help again, except now she's involved in some manner of art thievery in Madripoor. Sam recognized that she got in a great deal of trouble for helping them before, which included losing her job with the CIA. Did Steve ever tell Peggy that he kissed her future niece? Maybe after their dance was over.Ĭut to the events of this show, where everyone remembered that Sharon existed. ![]() Whether or not she was ever intended as a true love interest for Steve, she certainly wasn't mentioned in either Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame. She kissed Steve and then she vanished from the MCU, supposedly never to be seen again. She gave a powerful eulogy at Peggy's funeral - during which Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) found out she was, in fact, Peggy's niece - and then got into a heap of trouble for helping out Steve, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). ![]() The last time we saw Sharon was in Captain America: Civil War. ![]() ![]() ![]() And then, when it is time to work on it, you’ll know precisely where you put it.

Befriend the Shredderĭon’t be afraid of the shredder. You’ll be happily surprised with how everything having a home at the end of the day makes your workday less stressful and smoother. Dealing with this daily struggle will result in dread when it’s time to work or find something to complete your task.Ī minimalist setup goes hand in hand with organization, with clear spaces meaning everything is where it belongs. If every day you feel flustered and stressed trying to locate something, this will carry over into other days. If your desk is a cluttered mess that distracts and frustrates you, you will begin to have negative associations with your workspace.

In addition, these unnecessary items take up space in your mind, demanding to be put away or used. We’ve all lost our train of thought at one moment or another, and having lots of pictures and items around your desk breaks up your thoughts several times throughout the day. When your focus breaks, it doesn’t take a split second to regain it, but rather minutes. When this happens, we lose precious seconds that add up considerably throughout the day. Ideally, your office space should only be made up of ergonomic devices like a computer, an ergonomic table and chair, keyboard and mouse with the goal being to keep everything to the bare minimum.Scientific studies prove that being surrounded by clutter and various objects can distract humans from the task at hand. Once you eliminate all the unnecessary accruements cluttering up your space you subconsciously free your mind to focus on the work at hand. Which is why aesthetic minimalist desk setup in the workplace using computer ergonomics is very important. Obvious distractions like a blaring TV to less obvious ones like a bad seat can lead to us losing precious working time. The distractions we allow to clutter our workplace have a way of negatively affecting both our bodies and our creativity. So, Aesthetic minimalist desk setup in computer office is important.
