![]() ![]() Now, we need to create a method which displays a meme image which it randomly chooses from our allMemeImgs array when the Gen button is clicked. Displaying a random meme image alongside the Top and Bottom text As state is being correctly set on every keystroke, the text displayed on the image changes each time we type.ġ0. We can now test the app by typing into the text boxes. All of this is wrapped in a div and styled with the pre-provided meme class. We then add two tags which display the corresponding text which is also saved in state. Like in the Header component, we render a simple to start with. ![]() MemeGenerator needs a constructor() which calls super() and as it will be holding state, we add some empty state to it now. We still need to import React, and since it is going to be a class component, we'll import Component as well (which is a named import). As the MemeGenerator component will be holding data and making calls to an API, it needs to be a class component. Next, we create the MemeGenerator.js file. After creating it, we then export Header. For now, the component should return a simple. Since Header is a component which is only used to display, it should be a functional component. Let's start by creating the Header.js file. The Header will only display elements, while MemeGenerator will call to the API and retain the data in state. Next up, we create the Header and MemeGenerator components. Creating the Header and MemeGenerator components The allows us to check that the app is displaying correctly to the screen. In it, we create a functional component called App which, for now, returns a simple. ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById('root')) We also import App from its file "./App", which we will create shortly. We then put the App component at the 'root'. To do this, we import React and ReactDOM and use ReactDOM to render a component called App, which we will create later. The first thing we need to do is to create the boilerplate code for the app. Creating the boilerplate and rendering an App component Also, this tutorial doesn't use Hooks, but in my upcoming course we'll cover Hooks in depth and get tons of practice using them. Note: You should already be fairly familiar with some of the fundamental concepts of React, like components, state, props, and lifecycle methods. If you ever get confused, you can also follow these steps in the Scrimba course, starting at this lecture.Īnd then if you like my teaching style and are in the mood for a tougher challenge after you complete this tutorial, please check out my upcoming advanced course on Scrimba. So in this article, I'll give you a step-by-step guide to creating the app. The app works by pulling a random meme image from an API and placing your text over the top of it to create your very own, personalized meme. So it's no coincidence that I picked a meme generator app as the capstone project in my free React course on Scrimba. However, you can try our app and the memes will be very similar.Memes are great - they're such a fun way of describing ideas and opinions. Given the overhead cost of the infra, we don't offer a trial of the API.

We'll automatically fetch the relevant meme templates and write captions for themĬheck out the documentation above for more information How does Supermeme.ai ensure quality of memes? This is ideal in usecases where users don't have any sort of meme knowledge. ![]() A powerful meme API will let you create them at scale What is the input required for your API? It can be quite challenging and time consuming to create memes one by one. Meme APIs are useful for anyone looking to leverage the power of APIs at scale. The input could be anything ranging from text, meme template name, emotion etc. Let's have a chat! Email us at Ī meme API is is an interface where developers can send in an input through API request and get memes in the response. None of the current tiers work for you? Have something else in mind?

She holds her older brother, Sirzechs, in high regard (despite her older brother's antics of being a siscon) because she deeply cares for him. She developed an instinct when Issei is with an unknown woman or other girls tried to seduce him before her she immediately rush to him quickly. Like Akeno, Rias shows a sign of dependence toward Issei (possibly lesser than the former) as Rias will lose her will to fight and lead. According to Ravel, the burden of Rias as the " Legal Wife" is greater than the burden of Issei as she has to manage the girls maidenly feelings towards Issei and balance out Issei's feelings towards each of his lovers/brides. Due to being Issei's official girlfriend and later fiancée, the other girls acknowledge her as the " Legal Wife" as she manages the other women who are in love with Issei. However, Rias still shows some signs of jealousy such as when Issei doesn't spend enough time with her, but still believes in him and loves him. Despite being seductive like Akeno, both of the girls are still innocent to love, as both of them become their age whenever around Issei or on a date with him.Īfter becoming Issei's girlfriend, Rias begins to show more confidence in her relationship with Issei and is no longer jealous or angry when Issei is with other girls like she previously was, even accepting Issei's dream of having a harem and letting the girls have dates with him. She has no problem with showing Issei her breasts or sleeping naked with him (which she always does according to her and she claims she can't sleep without being nude or without Issei). The Gremory Family and their servants are beings with extraordinary affection among the Devils, and Rias is no exception. She enjoys teasing Issei and Asia (from Volume 3 of the novels onward), but at the same time makes it clear (to Asia or any girl) that Issei is hers, and she does not want to share him at all. While Rias is usually calm and mature in most situations, she loses her mature aura and presence when she sees any girl (especially Akeno) flirting with or seducing Issei. Despite her mature stature like a woman, Rias tends to act her true age and becomes frustrated whenever girls flirt with Issei. She thinks of Issei as a special person and always gets jealous when girls are around him, becoming a totally different person when she sees him and other girls together, or when it comes to training. Due to this and the fact that the only men who showed interest in her were interested in her due to being the Heiress of the House of Gremory, Rias soured on the idea of finding a lover, until meeting and falling in love with Issei. ![]() The reason for her living in the human world (as revealed in Volume 2 of the novels) is because there, everyone sees her as Rias, not as a Devil or as the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess. She is proud of her family's name, but she does not like being seen as Rias of the Gremory Family. This also plays into the fact that she dislikes cruelty towards people, as shown with her disgust over Marius Tepes, who abused his own sister for his own benefit, and how she killed the Fallen Angels, such as Mittelt, Dohnaseek, Kalawarna, and Raynare for their cruel treatment of Issei. ![]() She gets angry and violent whenever people insult her or her peerage, showing a fiery side to her. On some rare occasions, Rias wears glasses when she's deep in thought, as she feels they make her mind work better despite having perfect eyesight.Īs a Devil from the House of Gremory, Rias is very kind and compassionate, especially to her servants and people close to her. Rias also tends to wear seductive lingerie and thongs, especially when she has a desire to sleep with Issei. (5 feet 8 inches), making her one of the tallest female characters of the series.Īlthough Rias has worn various types of clothing throughout the series, her most commonly worn outfit is the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, which consists of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt (short sleeves for spring/summer), with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. ![]() Her most distinctive feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair which she also inherited from her father, that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand (known in Japan as ahoge) sticking out from the top. Rias is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin, blue eyes (blue-green in the anime, season 1-3) inherited from her father, Zeoticus, and a buxom figure. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can track replies, but you only get a limited number of free messages per month.Įver wanted to check your email but didn't feel like expending the extra energy to open a new tab?

Time–space compression occurs as a result of technological innovations driven by the global expansion of capital that condense or elide spatial and temporal distances, including technologies of communication ( telegraph, telephones, fax machines, Internet) and travel (rail, cars, trains, jets), driven by the need to overcome spatial barriers, open up new markets, speed up production cycles, and reduce the turnover time of capital.Īccording to Paul Virilio, time-space compression is an essential facet of capitalist life, saying that "we are entering a space which is speed-space. A similar idea was proposed by Elmar Altvater in an article in PROKLA in 1987, translated into English as "Ecological and Economic Modalities of Time and Space" and published in Capitalism Nature Socialism in 1990. It is rooted in Karl Marx's theory of the "annihilation of space by time" originally elaborated in the Grundrisse, and was later articulated by Marxist geographer David Harvey in his book The Condition of Postmodernity. Time–space compression (also known as space–time compression and time–space distanciation) is an idea referring to the altering of the qualities of space–time and the relationship between space and time that is a consequence of the expansion of capital. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are costs to running the positions and, although private investors can buy futures, for most the complexity means it is not advisable. Futures are standardised contracts where the buyer agrees to purchase a security from the seller at an agreed date and price. Importantly, inexperienced investors are discouraged from trading derivatives: for them it is best to hold cash in a downturn. Colloquially known as ‘dead cat bounces’, these upside spikes that catch out short sellers are mitigated by the hedges: Wifey is disdainful of “permabears” who fail to take similar precautions.Īllocation changes in the portfolio are triggered by bespoke systems (the main one nicknamed VolQ). Wifey’s current tactical asset allocation comprises what is named the Pig portfolio (of mostly short futures contracts), cash (US dollars) and some long futures to hedge against bear market rallies. There is also a fair amount of attention lavished on the family dog, CQ (which stands for Chief Quant). Limiting peak-to-trough portfolio drawdown is the mantra of – a handle set up by a professional quant trader in homage to his partner.

With some prominent names of recent times now sheepishly silent, insightful bear market strategies have moved to the fore.

That forecast became a reality a month later when the central bank raised rates by 75 basis points. He said the May US inflation report, in which headline price growth moderated for the first time since August 2021, "actually increases the probability the Fed will have to go with a non-linear, more aggressive hawkish rhetoric to slow down inflation”. One Twitter user in this camp was 'MacroAlf', aka economist Alfonso Peccatiello, once head of fixed income management for a large ING Deutschland fund and now an independent investor. Noting early last month that the growing prominence of higher housing costs was making US inflation appear stickier, some commenters predicted a more aggressive pace of tightening by the Federal Reserve. Twitter investors were early to admonish central banks for being behind the curve on inflation, and some social media types have remained ahead of the curve in the past few weeks. ![]() That can be a valuable corrective at a time when policymakers are belatedly racing to clamp down on inflation - and in doing so lengthening the odds that they can engineer a ‘soft-landing’ for the economy as they withdraw the punch bowl of monetary stimulus. ![]() |
