It doesn't really. Modern diy culture is ultimately about publishing. That is what puts you on somewhat equal footing with a large entity. What we mostly have with 3d printing is a do-it-for-yourself culture. That is why every institution will have an exclusive maker space, where you will get reprimanded if you use too much machine time. Why people dump things on github without documentation for their resume. And why the hacker news thread on the raspberry pi is about what people are using rather than what they have created.

A keyboard is a very basic object. It is almost like the hello world of hardware. Despite this it is very challenging to produce and publish one [0][1], or something like one [2]. But these stories mostly fall of deaf ears as this important part of diy culture has become marginalized.

I'd prefer a completely regular black anodised heatsink without any "design" but that's the closest any current board gets to it.

Supermicro server boards are about as utilitarian as you can get, with off the shelf heatsinks slapped on them, its only the consumer gear that wastes money on this stuff.

It's hip to have open source in some fields, and not in others. I've heard negative comments on multiple interviews - especially when there's an overlap between the open source project and your future work. Will you devote your full working hours to the company or to your hobby contributions? Will you open source the IP of the company?

If you contribute to FSF projects, the FSF will ask your current and future employers to exclude any claims over your contributions - even your hobby contributions.
If you find the article interesting you will most likely want to enjoy it to Ludovico Einaudi's sublime Petricor piece (modern violin / cello / piano). Its a beautiful piece of music.

And congrats on the good taste, even if I say so myself.
Side projects are a crapshoot, and as @jakobeggar points out, have way too much lead time to revenue generation.

Your most reliable option is probably freelance work. It sounds like you can put in about 20 hours per week. If you can get a steady flow of work at $25-50/hr that gets you to $50-100k in two years.

An alternative to “scanning” your 120 negs is to use a light-table (or a large enough lcd screen showing an all white image) and taking a digital photograph of it.

Show HN: Graphical application to serve WebAssembly modules
I'm not nitpicking, I just picked out the first part of your post because it's the only bit I disagree with.

I'm saying it's dangerous to have this line of thought that the "correct" way to build a system is with a mish mash of third party libraries and that doing any non-glue coding yourself is only for fun. You're insinuating that the decision OP is making is between efficiency and fun, whereas in reality it's an optimisation problem for efficiency that a lot of people mess up because they don't understand one side of the equation. (and if OP wants to have fun and roll his own that's great but it's another case entirely, I'm assuming he's not asking HN for permission to do that).

I use NPM as an example because for JS devs in the places I visit it's becoming a cultural thing, which IME is not the case in other communities. I don't see as many python devs entertain the thought of maintaining something for years with "crappy libraries" in it for the sake of saving "days" of work. But in JS land that attitude is all over the place and the phrasing of the first bit of your post reminded me of it, so...
As a kid I would rip limbs off insects one by one and watch them suffer. As an adult I carefully capture them inside and release outside. With all the insect die offs and all, little critters who stroll into my place get a 2nd chance. Unless they are mosquitoes. Those suckers get a quick death.
> If they are doing a fun side project

in that case, their business need is to have fun! And i would say writing it all from scratch is most fun of all.
For a non-US (England and Wales) example:

> After seeking brief details of his employment, gross income, and savings, and whether he was a property owner, [the online bookmaker] asked him to specify a password, a memorable question and answer, and a bank account number.[...]

> In seeking to identify such a pre-existing contract counsel for the claimant faced significant difficulties. In particular he was unable to point to any promise or commitment by the claimant which might form part of such a contract and provide the consideration necessary to make it legally binding.[...]

> The provision of an on-line interactive platform is in effect simply a more modern equivalent of the expressed readiness of a potential contracting party [...] to enter into contracts by receiving and responding orally to telephone calls.

> Accordingly, the claimant has failed to establish the existence of any legal contract to host and give binding effect to [the clause]

Also of note:

> Many, one might suspect most, would have passed up on that invitation [to read the documents] and proceeded directly to click on "Agree", even though it was suggested that they should do so only when they had read and understood the documents. Even if, exceptionally, the defendant in fact chose to look at the documents, he would have been faced [with a long and complex agreement]. It would have come close to a miracle if he had read [the clause], let alone appreciated its purport or implications, and it would have been quite irrational for the claimant to assume that he had. This was an entirely inadequate way to seek to make the customer liable [...], and is a further factor rendering the [clause] an unfair term.

Note that this is not necessarily a full appraisal of the law, but merely meant to illustrate that forming a binding contract is more difficult than having terms available. Furthermore, even if there is no contract, there are IP considerations (copyright, database rights depending on the data) before you can use the data.

Wow! These photos are astounding (I know they're old, but I never took time to really look at them before). Some details:

In the first picture, notice how Walter Schirra wears two watches and how Paul Becker has like 7 pens in his pockets.

In the second picture, it says "MAIN MOM TALK" on the astronaut's chest. (see here to find out what it means: http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum29/HTML/000717.html )

In the picture with the rover, interesting details of the wheel can be seen. It appears to be a weave of some kind, with crosses of bolted sheets of some kind along the middle.

Brian Tomasik argues that we should avoid insect farming entirely since it's likely worse (ethically speaking) than farming larger nonhuman animals:

> Entomophagy (eating insects for food) is sometimes proposed as an alternative to factory farming because it has lower environmental impact. But entomophagy is not necessarily more humane than factory farming of livestock all things considered, and along some dimensions it's actually worse, because it involves killing vastly more animals per unit of protein. Rather than promoting insect consumption, let's focus on plant-based meat substitutes.

I played Freelancer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game) long ago. It had about 30 "star systems", each one is about 100KM~200KM in-game distance in diameter. It's a fascinating game back in the day, and cost me years of free time.

When I jump from that game to EVE, it's very obvious to me that EVE is not for explore. You can do that of course, but you will be bored fairly quickly even compare to games like Freelancer.

In Freelancer, every "star system" that I jump into gives me a feeling of mysterious, until I cruise through every inch of the map, and memorized every cruise path and hidden "Wormhole"s.

In EVE, every system feel like the same. Yes, they have different layout, NPC and background, but still, it feel like repeat.

I believe EVE is more of a game of politics. A game about ruling, conquer and team work. Explore? not so much.

I don't know, maybe because the map of EVE is too big to provide saliency. In Freelancer, every map is manually made to service the background story, so each one is different in their own ways. Also, because the map is so small, you can make them vibrant easily.
Maybe it had been a wake up call for that guy to turn his life around and somebody just paid his way back into the game. Or maybe his life was independently miserable and the game was the only positive thing. Who knows.

This is not a popular opinion, but I think you should always rewrite the wheel. The reason is simple, the product you are building cannot be more interesting than the technology that lies under it. If you rewrite that, you will have to learn how things really work. And only when you do that, can you improve the fundamentals.
I suppose applicable was the word I was looking for. The parallel I was aiming at was the one where a well known scientist said he wasn't interested in memorising facts (in this case mathematical constants) from a book because that's what the book was for.
Glad I'm not the only one feeling this pain! My graphics needs are minimal (usually amounting to a dead-simple visualization of a musical score I'm working on), but the complexity of coding any such feature is beyond my self-taught-on-LOGO-and-QBasic skills.
It's true that there's an answer in the article, but it's not a really satisfying one. This is 1½ hours each day for ten years; that's about 5500 hours. Think what you could do with that time! In a thousand hours, you could build a high-performance airplane. Ten years of practicing a musical instrument 1½ hours a day, you could be performing on a very high level. You could be fluent in a foreign language, learn advanced math, become a skilled gunsmith, have written several books, or have read a couple thousand books.

Or you could have poked around a video game.

To me, and a lot of other people, there's a real opportunity cost this person has been willing to assume, and I'm not about to pretend I think it was worth it.

Photosynthesis generates a huge amount of free radicals and oxygenated byproducts. Plants are loaded with antioxidants to protect themselves from all this.

I did watch a few of them, and I still didn't get it. You're not really directly competing (all you have is failure count which you cannot influence - except your own of course).

I get that it can be interesting to some people but the scale of the whole thing (in the US) is what surprises me every time.

Then again, I also don't get reality TV or pageants. Maybe I'm not the target audience...
Developing at home also means you have to shoot enough film to get through your chemistry while it's still fresh. Not to mention figuring out disposal for your spent chemicals.

I found that those things mostly just stressed me out. I'd be much happier paying a hundred bucks a month for access to a darkroom where I didn't have to worry about those things and could just enjoy the process of developing and printing.

I've never been more than a casual photographer, so figuring out how to run a darkroom by myself and how to make enough use of it to be worth my while were too big a hump to get myself over.

I love the magic of watching prints develop and even the smell of a darkroom, but truth be told, getting a full-frame digital camera recently (a Sony a7ii) that I can put my old lenses (screw mount Takumars and Pentax M primes, one Pentax A zoom) on has done more to rekindle the joy in photography for me than anything.

The Takumars, in particular, are maybe the most beautifully made things I own. Oh my god, the knurling of the focus and aperture rings is unbelievable. The action of the focus helicoid is divine. We will never see lenses made the likes of them again because the machining costs alone would probably double the price of the lenses and the beautiful action of the focus helicoid is probably completely at odds with fast autofocus.

I will concede that from an optics and coatings standpoint, the world has moved on in the last 50 years. And obviously autofocus is a thing now. But I'm not a good enough photographer to be hitting the limits of my lenses, and for me part of the joy is the way they feel in my hands.
Seems like installations doubled in 2018 compared to the last few years [0]. That surprised me a bit, since, while there still are gov incentives, they only seem to go down after the big push ended around 2012. So that bump is likely caused by falling cost. That's great to see.

You can massively reduce your risk of diseases like diabetes or heart disease with a healthy diet.

Diet can also reduce cancer risk but the effect is much smaller so even with an ideal diet genetics and environmental factors can be more important.

A few scenarios I can think of are:

1) If it doesn't work or works poorly.

2) If it is trivial to implement.

3) Licensing problems.

4) If the implementation is overly complicated.

5) The (framework) vendor have a habit of updating and breaking your code. This happens a lot with the Angular team. There is nothing like the annoyance of an Angular update and they have broken some feature you are using and you have to update code that was working absolutely fine. Since then I have avoided Angular entirely.

Things I am less strict on:

1) The project is EOL. It may work perfectly fine. This happens to open-source software as well. Typically this means there is a better alternative out there.

2) Awkward syntax / api. You can normally just wrap this.

3) Maintainers are difficult to work with or don't fix bugs.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in animal physiology or psychology so I don't intend to present this as a rigorous description of animal suffering.

I think that it's reasonable to assume that the degree to which something can experience suffering is proportionate to the sophistication of its ability to think.

When I'm playing a video game, enemies respond to my attacks and attempt to keep from dying. However, we generally don't consider that suffering because we don't believe that the associated program has a concept of pain.

Simple animals appear to be able to experience pain. However, they might not be able to experience suffering as a condition. That is they don't appear to be able to creatively imagine and dread pain.

More sophisticated animals (e.g. dogs) appear to be able to understand suffering in a psychological sense.

Very sophisticated animals, most notably humans, can also understand suffering more philosophically. E.g. by understanding the way that suffering is preventing them from reaching their longterm goals, how suffering could be due to injustice, etc.

My point here, is that while it is clear that virtually every organism avoids death, it is not necessarily clear in which of these or other senses they experience suffering. My understanding is that it was previously thought that insects were more like the computer program: able to avoid injury but without actually having an experience of pain.

Rethink Priorities (which focuses on foundational research on neglected causes) has carried out a massive amount of research recently on invertebrate welfare and sentience.

Their findings are well worth a read:

> Rethink Priorities reviewed the scientific literature relevant to invertebrate sentience. We selected 53 features potentially indicative of the capacity for valenced experience and examined the degree to which these features are found throughout 18 representative biological taxa. These data have been compiled into an easily sortable database that will enable animal welfare organizations to better gauge the probability that (various species of) invertebrates have the capacity for valenced experience. This essay details what we’ve done, why, and the strengths and weaknesses of our approach.

The college paper I worked at had a darkroom and upon graduation I had a home darkroom for 4 years, stuffed into various apartment closets. Honestly it’s kinda of a pain, there is the enlarger (not cheap), the timer, chemicals (the fixer I think was somewhat nasty). Then you look at the prints after they’ve dried and you notice the dust spots.

Not to mention the fact that the negative contains more dynamic range than the print, so often your dodging and burning the image to adjust.

Though I miss the magic of a photo appearing on a piece of paper when printing, I kinda don’t miss a lot about the process.
I think people get tricked by his way of building an argument. He structures it rhetorically almost like it is a mathematical proof, but if you read carefully the central argument is that it is "nicer"...in the particular example he picked. But if you don't pay attention it might feel like he "proves" that 0-based is universally better.

Then he goes on weird diatribes like the one about "corporate religion". I'm not sure, but I think he is trying to say that people who question his dubious logic are "sheeple".

The .NET Framework, specifically the WinForms and the WebForms did that. Of course you could change everything manually, but DataBinding was a core concept which relied on changing data to change the contents of the GUI.

WPF still has the same kind of approach and to be terribly honest, Silverlight, as hated as it was, did it before React.
I don't disagree with your view on Italians and fashion however I do often find myself amused by the compliant uniformity of fashion in Italy. I vist two or three times a year and as someone old enough to not obsess so much about my own fashion anymore, but not so old as to have given up entirely, I'm invariably impressed by dapper old men holding on to youthful exhibition.

However, the flipside is that 'whatever mode is in fashion that season' is draped off everyone - be it the particular type of puff jacket, or particular brand of trainer or hoodie or size and volume of scarf, there it is in consistent multiplicate, over everyone.

It becomes less, to my eye, individual expression than blinkered social compliance.

Not that I'm not entirely without some envy, especially where my father in law is concerned, he being very much more fash than I!
The X window system is being dropped from dev by Red Hat. So yeah, you'll probably need to roll your own. As for the other X, non-institutional chemistry is generally frowned upon by governments.

Generally X existing things are going to be way too complex and heavy. Implementing your own allows you to avoid all that. But of course this only applies for individuals. Anyone stuck as part of a company or institution won't have the choice.
