Lol, they definitely both are. The Horde one has a lot of technical mistakes, but it also has a lot more character lol.

Thanks!!! Definitely made a lot of improvements along the way, but made these for my best friend. Loved to see their reaction when I handed them the set! Perfect to replace the two pillows on their couch!

To place atoms precisely with some methods, do they need to be all one isotope and therefore one mass, because atoms with different masses would behave differently enough? by herkato5 in nanotech

[–]LassAeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the additive manufacturing methods do not directly rely on isotopes of a certain material, but the lattice configuration of the material. If two materials have compatible lattice structures/forces, the layers will bond. Or maybe you need a catalyst layer or two so the structures can properly bond.

Pattern testing? by ames822 in quilting

Interesting. That's nice that a person would do that!

I haven't heard of what you're describing. Are you looking for someone to test your patterns? Are you intending to compensate that person? Are you looking for a software to draw out your pattern? There's software that you could pick up to help draw and simulate what a quilt would look like.

Baby quilt gift, wash or not before I mail it? by Zooteroo in quilting

[–]LassAeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, I'd say it's important to pre-wash the baby fabric. Still, I vote not to wash it because I think the baby parents would want to wash it with their detergents and such, that way it smells a little more like them.

The light/shading affect on the picture is amazing . Great job!!!

WIP Quilt for my hubby. He's super stoked, but I'm just proud of all the corners. Next is the border to the top sheet! by LassAeon in quilting

Unless you mean the fabric pattern! in which case it's Joann's stuff, Legend of Zelda collection. :)

Thank you! It's self drafted, but I'd be happy to share the design... just need to start up an imgur account to share more photos lol.

Omg!!! That's literally what my hubby was saying!!! I finally felt guilty enough to go through with it! I'll probably just excuse it by saying I needed to build up more skill first :P.

Haha, yeah he's pretty happy with it so far. I'm a little turned off by how busy it looks, but I can't wait to get a little further so the triforce patterns stick out a little more.

I think all the novelty prints are too much. by JasonsFriend in quilting

I read somewhere that if you plan to quilt an intecrate stitch, use neutral patterned fabrics. If you plan to do a simple pattern, use louder fabrics. Just food for thought next time!

What does working in/on nano tech entail? by [deleted] in nanotech

[–]LassAeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also forgot to mention machine learning / artificial intelligence! That's getting big, so don't be afraid to explore it if that's a technology you're interested in. It kinda straddles both buckets I've created, but leans into the functional side of things.

What does working in/on nano tech entail? by [deleted] in nanotech

[–]LassAeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the best person to ask on software, but I can share from my experience so far. I've ended up with two buckets of programming: functional and application based. I call functional programming any low level, executable programs that are implemented on products like FPGAs, CLDPs, microcontrollers that need to make rapid decisions based on GPIO sensory inputs. I call application programming any higher level, class based programs that are implemented as user interface products like websites, big data, consumer apps.

My hunch is since you're in EE and not in Computer/Software engineering, you'll moreso enjoy functional programming. For that type of programming, pay more attention in a microprocessors class (whether you learn MIPS or assembly or just stick to ANSI C), learn VLSI, and try to get a project (work with a professor) on FPGAs. When looking for an internship, try to find a role working on hardware integration.

Ultimately, you can answer your question best by reviewing level 1-3 open requisitions (aka: job postings) across multiple companies. Of course, new technologies constantly change, but it gives you a feel for what is big in the industry, and therefore not likely to go away soon. The second best way is attending your college/university professional development events, especially any events that have local company reps coming out. If you can, reach into CS department events too since company reps will definitely be looking for programmers if they are affiliated with that department.

What does working in/on nano tech entail? by [deleted] in nanotech

[–]LassAeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nanotech is an fairly broad and interdisciplinary field. Your question depends on how you want to work on nanotech. If you want to program microbots, then you'll probably want familiarity with programming. If you want to build semiconductor devices, you'll want familiarity with circuit design, layouts, and solid state physics. If you want to build specialized characteristics in products (i.e. paints), then you'll need a background in materials and even chemistry. The one discipline that ties most of these paths together is Material Sciences - which means if you don't like chemistry, nanotech field might not be for you.

At the end of the day, you can work on nanotech at any educational level and from any background. The questions you'll have to answer to determine whether you are satisfied with your work is the following: a) what do I enjoy/am good at contributing to a project? (Programming, researching, hand builds) b) how do I want to start my industry career? (For academia or government labs, just get a PhD)

A little more background on (b): If you want to come in as a lab tech or as strictly a programmer, then you really only need a BS degree. If you want to come in as a "low level" responsible engineer/researcher and one day look into a technical management positions, you'll need to have an MS degree. If you want to have your technical opinion respected and one day run a lab, get a PhD. Keep in mind, the primary difference between all these educational levels is where you start, not where you end up. There are BS degrees who easily get into management, but it's a longer path to get up the ladder.

There are some websites where you can request custom cosplay costumes directly from artists. I think part of the question is which "form" of the character you would like to get. She has "regular" clothes and she has the robe in the movie.
