![]() ![]() The pattern of scales you see above is a design which was made using a python program I wrote. The mathematical background for all the other scales is complicated (but interesting), but to save you from my endless blabbering about why slide rule math is so great, I'll restrain myself! Because the C scale has generating function log(x), and the A scale has generation function 1/2 log(x), we use the facts we know to conclude that these two scales in combination have a useful property: we can use them to find squares and square roots. Certain equalities between generating functions reduce to useful operationsĪbove, I sketched out an example that illustrates the concept.Sliding the central piece represents adding or subtracting values.Realize that two numbers placed across from each other represent setting their returned values equal to each other.Plot numbers at the value returned by the generating function.The general strategy for coming up with new scales is: I've compiled the "generating functions" I used in my slide rule into a table above in case you're curious. Above, you can find a diagram I made in TikZ showing how one might go about generating one of the scales, the "C" and "D" scales.Įventually, new scales were developed that could perform all the other operations I mentioned earlier, each one using a specific function (based on the base ten log, of course). Shortly after Napier's publication, people noticed that we could exploit that special property and use two parallel rulers to multiply and divide. You might remember from the high school precalc days that the logarithm function can convert products into sums, and vise versa. For context, check out the pic above comparing my own slide rule and one made by the Post company in Japan some time in the mid 20th century.īack in the 1600's, John Napier publicized the concept of logarithms and their weird but useful properties. In the 1900s, companies like Keuffel & Esser, Post, Pickett, and Dietzgen produced many models of slide rules, some of which you can pick up and play with at flea marks and ebay for as little as $5-10. ![]() By using various scales, a sliding central piece, and a cursor (the outermost sliding piece with a vertical red line), the user can multiply, divide, find cubes, cube roots, squares, square roots, sines, cosines, tangents, reciprocals, logarithms and exponents! Not bad for a couple of sliding sticks. So stick around, learn about the slide rule, and even if you won't build one, there might be plenty of methods and ideas you might be able to apply in your own work!Īs mentioned before, the slide rule is a calculator. Throw myself into a marathon of different manufacturing techniques to force myself to finally learn how to use new tools that might be helpful later in life.Challenge myself to recreate an older technology with a modern approach.Learn about what makes good design by totally immersing myself in one example of it.Getting a hold of a slide rule is not an issue since you can buy them cheaply on ebay, but I knew I wanted to build one anyway to: Lurking in the shadows hides a fascinating, elegant piece of technology, a tool able to perform a surprisingly large variety of calculations, all the while exemplifying all the elements of good design.Įven if the slide rule became "obsolete" in the 70s as electronic calculators took their place, I knew that I had to build one myself. Once an staple of the engineer's tool belt, this form of handheld analog calculator seems to have been forgotten by all but a few.

![]() “I think we’re living in a time where pretty much anything goes,” Ms. ![]() Rising out of such communities are threads of goth, emo and punk in which the shaved head stands in as an aesthetic signifier. ![]() On social media, subcultures like dark academia and cottagecore thrived during the pandemic. “If you can’t shave your hair off while we’re living through what we’ve lived through, when are you going to do it?” “I think there’s probably also a sense of why the hell not,” she added. “It’s about taking ownership of your identity and allowing you to control at least one aspect of what’s going on around you,” said Rachael Gibson, who charts the history of hair on her popular Instagram account Thehairhistorian. Tumultuous times often lead to extreme self-expression through beauty. “Life was weighing me down, and I thought my hair could take some of that weight off for a bit,” he said. Joseph Charles Viola, 26, who works in fashion, also took to the clippers. I have struggled with that, and this haircut finally allowed me to break free once and for all.” I hope that I can also inspire others to not feel the need to fit into a box. “I still feel butterflies when I look into the mirror,” said Emma Fridsell, 23, a fashion influencer who traded a pixie for a buzz cut. “Also, I can get ready so fast now, it’s a game changer.”įor some people who have been contemplating the look for a while, 2022 felt right. Lately she has been wearing puffy headbands over her buzzed head. “I’m into that 1990s and 2000s dystopian-future aesthetic, and I’m really into the way the bald head makes every outfit fit that vibe,” she said. Perlmutter instantly embraced the look for its ease and the fact that her hair is now “one less thing to worry about.” It also suits her style. “I went home and told my boyfriend, ‘I want you to shave my head.’ We went ham with the clippers and filmed the journey for my TikTok.” “At that moment, I realized I didn’t have the emotional energy to go all out with my hair,” she said. Perlmutter, 23, was on set at a photo shoot, she watched as a hairdresser intricately styled a model’s hair. “I made a deal with myself that I was going to either learn how to do hair really well so I could make it a final touch to all my outfits or buzz my head,” she said. Clara Perlmutter, who goes by on TikTok, decided recently to shave her head and document it on the platform after seeing the Dyson Airwrap go viral, with everyone curling and coifing their long shocks of hair. ![]() If you know what race your first opponent is, you may be able to plan accordingly. But be careful, as some teams may not have spent enough of their budget for the difference in team value to be enough. Against quite a few teams, this will allow you to hire a master cook as an incentive, if you can take away some or all of your opponent’s dice rolls, this can give them a hard time. Even if you don’t want the benefits of them, sometimes it may be enough to deny them to your opponent.Īnother variant is to give up three Halflings or a Halfling and a Reroll, which makes your team’s value less than 900k. You could spare one or two players and take one or two Assistant Coaches and/or Cheerleaders to have control over the results of the throws. You can also use Halflings as ammunition to throw at opposing players, especially if they are bunched up in a cage. The Heftys offer a bit more stamina and the Catchers help teammates’ Touchdown attempts. With such a deep bench, you can foul with abandon to try to get an advantage. There is the possibility that you have an injured Halfling (you’re saving the Apothecary for the Treemen) who you can let go for a future free roster spot. If you are in a new league season and you know for sure that you are facing another new team, that is not a major factor.

Oh and you also have a dragon who hangs around with you, which is pretty cool. However, due to circumstances unclear to the player, Zero sets out on a journey to murder each of her siblings by any means necessary. Her and her five sisters are worshipped as rulers, their mysterious powers having cleansed the world of dangerous warlords before ushering in an era of peace. I’ll save a serious dose of plot analysis for another time, but here’s a rough idea of what Drakengard 3 is about - You play as Zero, a young woman known as an Intoner, mysterious individuals who are able to execute magic through song. I doubt this will happen, but a revival of Drakengard 3 in the meantime would show that Yoko Taro doesn’t mess around. Part of me is worried that such popularity could take away from what makes his games so special, stories made possible by a lack of publisher interference and a willingness to let creators completely lose themselves in their ideas, regardless of how bizarre or against the grain they may seem. Today, Yoko Taro is a beloved creator, one whose next project will be viewed with a heightened level of anticipation. Violence is a part of the perpetual cycle that defines this game, so it all makes sense. You’ll sometimes need to kill things in a certain order or solve a puzzle by killing more things, but the overall flow never really changes. Beyond cutscenes and customising the main character, 90 percent of gameplay has you following a linear path and killing everything in your way. Released as a PS3 exclusive back in 2013, Yoko Taro returned to his action roots with an experience that mimicked the original Drakengard in a number of ways. Sure, some outlets still loved it, but the general praise was far less generous, and rightfully so - it’s a worse game in almost every regard.īut much like Replicant, a remaster would do this unorthodox adventure a world of good. I mentioned in another article that such criticisms were justified, but even once the dust had settled, it had nothing on the critical reception suffered by Yoko Taro’s next project - Drakengard 3. The original Nier received a lot of flack upon its original release, with some critics panning its boring combat, repetitive quest design, and oddly paced story. |
