I mean, if you’re in an adversarial relationship with your manager you should think of changing that, but a lot of these are just misunderstandings and the inability to have the entire team in their head at once. Like, as a developer, you can be pretty good at writing code and still get useful feedback from a code review. Having a communication channel open with your manager helps them do their job better and also helps you, and doesn’t necessarily indicate any sort of personal failing.

A 50 mm is one of my special occasion lenses, the others being a 80-200 and a 300, the latter often combined with a TC. The 50 is great for low light, for street photography and small enough to carry with you. Street ohotography because you stand out much less with a DSLR without battery grip and a lens as small as a 50 mm. Low light, because of f1.8.

The one lense that is on most of the time, especially when travelling, is a 24-120.

I still would recommend a 50mm, simply for its convenience, low light performance, small size, incredible sharpness, speedy AF and beautiful image characteristics from backgrounds to sun stars.
Indeed, electrolytic smelting is around and is currently used to produce high purity iron.

There are a few engineering difficulties arising from the high temperatures required and the chemicals around.

And note that aluminum smelting also releases quite a lot of carbon dioxide for various reasons, one of them being consumption of the graphite electrodes.

If you've ever been a T-Rex, you'd know the (principle) answer to what those little arms are for.

Two-legged beings fall, sometimes. Then you have to get up. If you're a Rex without arms, the problem is that you can't get your legs tucked under you before you rise. You can try to get your big fat ass up in the air some in order to get at least one leg under, but as your ass rises, you inevitably begin to roll to one side or the other. Putting your head sideways keeps you fron skidding forward in the dirt as much, and even helps a bit with lateral stability, but not enough. So then you try to shoot up before you're leaning too damn far to the side, but it's too late, you're tilted and off you go at a sidewise angle. You try to sidestep to get a foot under your centre of gravity but you can't step far enough, much less double step, so down you go again, only harder this time. Ooof.

What you need is just a bit of lateral stability that's just good enough to keep you stable with your massive fat butt stuck up in the air, while your head is still on the ground. Spreading your "little" arms out wide is just what the doctor ordered. That lets you get both legs a ways under you (not without a little skidding forward) without rolling to either side so that, after a brief moment of rest, you can heave a bit and pop your head fully forward again (but still on the ground) and then almost immediately shoot nearly straight up while taking a few really big steps forward. (Because now you're shooting forward at a good speed.) You're UP! A few big forward strides is definitely something you're made to do. Sidestepping like a Broadway trouper, only a capella, not so much. You don't die where you fell.

Some people have great internal-to-the-brain physics-and-world simulators. This is what my simulator tells me. But try to get up from face down with you arms tucked back and not relying on wide human shoulders if you're in doubt. I think you'll find it's hard to do.
This reminds me of the circuit notation used in quantum computing. They serve different purposes though: The quantum circuits serve to describe unitary matrices by direct sum and matrix multiplciation. The TND diagrams serve to describe operations on tensors, namely tensor product and contraction.

I really hate spending any time or effort building connections on proprietary platforms since it is so inevitable all that effort will decay to nothing as the platform dies, as it eventually must because it is controller by a single corporation that isn't interested in interoperability nor maintaining it once it's no longer profitable.

To the extent possible I prefer to keep in touch with everyone via email since it is a decentralized open standard, so it will never go away.
Most of the time you can get around this by providing your own 'dumb' modem with no VOIP features on it. Quite often the control feature is on the firmware the ISP uploads to the modem.
You're sort of describing the current conditions without any analysis of how those conditions are likely to change. For example, the high interest rates right now are due to central banks looking at the rising labor prices and inflation and probably overreacting. It is very likely that the next step is going to be a massive global slowdown.

You're also very likely massively overstating the case that Russia and Taiwan mean that "globalization has ended".

I do think there's important secular changes happening (the tight labor market and inflation are very obviously something new that hasn't happened in 30 years), but I strongly doubt the idea that everything has turned on a dime 180 degrees to the opposite.
> There’s no technical reason that Big Tech can’t directly connect to the Fediverse. The ACCESS Act, a proposed US law, would do just that. The EU has passed the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which promises to impose interoperability on giant social media platforms…eventually.

And not just short showers, but managing the amount of time the water is actually running. Here’s my strategy for an efficient shower:

1. turn on the water, get in, rinse down, soak a wash cloth

2. turn off water

3. lather hair with shampoo

4. lather wash cloth with soap and scrub body

5. turn on water and rinse down

The majority of the time we’re standing in the shower, we don’t actually need the water to be running.

High Five for Lower Decks. It is TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT as animation series at quality level.

Cannot say something about SNW because Paramount decided to tease people with another streaming platform. Back with TNG the did it right, offered the series to all TV-Stations instead partnering with one. The drawbacl, the first seasons of TNG were low on money.
I didn't say it was easy... it just isn't so overblown "hire a professional" as people make it out to be. I was terrified before I started, but once I watched a bunch of YT videos and then got to work... it ended up being a lot less stressful than I imagined.
Quite a claim, with zero sources cited.
That a fair point, but the whole thing is "learn yourself some devops". If that list ends up building up to that, then you've not gotten the point of any of it and you can't honestly call that last section "devops". There's also some weird excursions on that list, like securing a CI/CD pipeline before we've even gotten to that or getting to k8s way too early.

I don't know I started reusing twitter 2 months ago after years of not really using it.

It keeps us in check but not like you think. At least for crimes with direct victims, prisons keep us out of blood feuds by letting the state monopolize retribution while keeping the object of it out of reach.

I appreciate this attitude:

> Should you do this?

> But here’s a thought: It’s OK to use energy for convenience. This is true even in a time of crisis. After all, only a small fraction of the energy we use is necessary to stay alive. We could live dirty and shivering in dark rooms, eating oats and only moving around on foot. But no one does. So the question is how much energy you want to use for how much convenience.

Too many articles or conversations about energy usage seem to take an attitude more like, “if you’re not doing the thing we say is the solution then you’re the problem”.
Even if the provider is stupid AF you can usually get around the residential restriction by starting the discussion with the business side of the company; once the salesman has a nibble he's not gonna cut you free if he can help it.

And then get a 2 year term on whatever seems a "good deal" at the time (I had cable speeds and 5 IPs) and once that is up call them and "drop down" to whatever you actually need (cable speeds and 1 IP) - you'll find that at that point there will be various "packages" that were never advertised but the system is quite capable of supporting.

If all else fails, find a company that works with the provider and offers service over their "last mile".

You'll pay for all the above, but not as much as you might think, and business support is actually good in many, many cases. Fabled evil Comcast rolled a truck twice until they tracked down a problem, at no charge.

In fact it usually implies a presence of knowledge that is... neglected. So in this case it would be anyone who ignores this danger. For illustration a simplified example could be something like a growth gene that spreads to weeds.

Manager here: Because not everyone does!

Think (some) single parents with kids, (some) people doing elderly care for their parent(s), people who have decided the work/life tradeoff isn't worth it, etc. Almost every team has at least one person who wants to interact as little as possible and have a decent salary, and in return, turns out quality code and meets expectations to the letter, then logs off.

There is also a very fine line to walk with an employee who wants to get to the next level for salary/prestige/ego, but isn't willing to push themselves or improve, and constant conversations of "hey, if you want level N+1 you need to be more involved in code reviews and be better at meeting your commitments (or estimating those commitments)". It's not fair to try to hold a level N to a level N+1 standard in the name of "career development", and there is a point where it's not worth your (or the employees) time and stress to "pull" them up to the next level.
Not dumb at all. Well, not exactly air, but that's how it's done. Air doesn't contain enough water, so you need to add some.

Currently nearly all ammonia is produced by "steam reformation" of methane in air (which is mainly nitrogen). Very hot steam, air, and methane are mixed. The carbon in the methane is released as carbon dioxide.

The idea is to take the methane out of the process.

> If pointing someone to a single "normal" lens as a prime, I'd point them to a 40mm, not a 50.

The article does have a section on exactly the issue (FOV) you note - it identifies that the 50mm lens is not the same with modern cameras (which have smaller sensors than 35mm film cameras), and recommends a 35mm lens for these cameras. Personally, I have a 35mm prime lens and quite like it, and I think it did help me improve my skills when I can't just zoom to get what I want in frame.
I think DS9's violence is just a side effect of one of it's key intentional differentiators that it's "darker". I think it's still fair to say that the violence is portrayed as at best a necessity, and never a goal or a definition of success. The only positive light or satisfaction or pride is maybe that of professionals performing their task well.
I've done this. It works surprisingly well, and (as Might points out) humidifies the house in a way that radiators and resistance heaters do not.

The evaporating water does convert (to use the traditional terms) sensible heat into the latent heat of water vapor, and you might think that this heat should be discounted from the heat you're getting out. Sometimes it should, but not other times, because if the water vapor condenses again inside the house (for example, near the surface of the plaster in cold walls) it will release this heat again as sensible heat. In other cases, it's worse — I've had the displeasure of staying in a cold guest room where the blankets were all slightly damp from such condensation and so failed badly at keeping me warm.

In that case, the water vapor had been produced not by evaporating standing water but by burning natural gas. Be careful.
In addition to things like heat exchangers or reducing the amount of time/water in a shower, is there any work being done around optimizing the amount of time a hot water heater keeps the water at high temp? I’ve thought about this for extended absences but this could also bring potential benefits if it just doesn’t run for certain portions of the day or middle of the night.
What's a "sea shower". Do you mean when you literally just spray water on yourself, then soap all over, then rinse off?
Show HN: A cryptocurrency that can automatically re-launch itself on-chain
Unless you're trolling, I don't understand what would be an acceptable response to you. We all spend some of our time in things that don't bring immediate returns to humanity, even you spent some time writing your quick dismissal and replying to me.

I didn't flag anyone, in fact I'll usually vouch for flagged content. But I'm curious what you think would be a non-defensive statement (and what does that even mean?). Also, some of the replies seemed genuinely curious at what makes you have this strong opinion and you refused to elaborate...

Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard (November '22 edition)
The pinboard threads have been petering out. However for me a month ago my archives finally started working again. Maybe Maciej is actually somewhat maintaining the service? Has anyone else seen some improvement? Sadly I still am unable to download the archive of my cached pages though.

I've also compiled a list of many of the alternatives that have been mentioned on HN in the past:
-TinyGem
-Buku (FOSS)
-GGather
-Diigo
-historio.us
-espial (FOSS)
-BrainTool
-Larder
-Are.na
-ArchiveBox (FOSS)

If anyone's had a good experience with an alternative please vouch for it as many pinboard users are looking for a new home.
Simplest use case would just to have a container in the basement / garage through which the water flows, assuming you are heating it at least a little. You likely keep lower temp there so it is much more efficient. Although in practice drain from the shower or bath quickly connects with the one from the toilet so it's not that easy to implement.

In your case efficiency is also slightly lower due to evaporation. If anybody has any idea how significant it is I'd love to learn. I was surprised one day in winter to find that my evaporative humidifier has temp below 10C on it (room temp 23C).

I think ground heat pumps could have an exchanger around the main drain pipe which should work nicely both in winter and during summer.
> I have seen false conviction estimates ranging from 1 to 5 percent.

I agree with the rest of your comment, but I think this statistics only means that 1-5% of convicts were falsely convicted and could prove it. So the actual number is probably much larger. I would guess something like 20%.
I loved Blindsight. But thought Echo was I where close as good.
Electric heating pads?
Possibly don't set (many) goals because when you hit them it's over. Methods, habits, strategies, etc, may be better because they don't stop dead.

I try to make the world a little better each day - trite and I'm sure that I often don't succeed, but I think that it helps.

Material success, once you have achieved security, has fast-diminishing returns. I worked with people earning 10x what I was (and I was not badly paid) who couldn't understand why I wasn't driven to earn more.
From open-source to open-platforms
The underlying assumption is that social platforms are the ideal way to communicate.

Is that really true?

I keep in touch with most people by texting. It does the job. Ditching almost every "social" app had no noticeable affect on my social life. I think I missed one housewarming party in 2019 because the host didn't realize I'd left Facebook.

None of us really picked the "post all your life updates to one feed with everyone you know and then scroll it"—the platforms designed that and we just sort of ran with it.

I'm not suggesting we should go strictly back to keeping in touch by phone calls and handwriting long letters (for starters, I forget how stamps work), but I'd rather have a slightly more personal model than replace one big feed with another.
Nobody in the country thinks it's at all a possibility for the foreseeable future. He won't be released - the man is behind the deadliest peacetime crime in Norway. Even if he sincerely repents at some point, he'll have to spend many more years behind the bars with perfect behavior for a release to be considered.

If he repents the murders, if he renounces his ideology, and if he spends a couple decades as a repentful man would, he will, just maybe, get released when he's old, frail and not expected to live long.
And simulated sex for the sexless. Nothing stronger than staring.
You can do something similar in the US - many condos have it setup where they technically are an ISP and pay for transit.

Usually it's not worth it because you end up doing end-user support for every neighbor and people are dumb as rocks. But you'd be surprised how cheap a "very fast" transit internet connection can be.
Heated blankets never really did the trick for me either. Electric foot-warmers do. They're cheap, don't consume too much energy, and will get your feet nice and toasty in no time.

Ranges is one of the few things in 20 that I really like - not having to do begin()/end() madness for stuff like sort, transform etc means you aren't thinking about the _how_ and can spend more time focusing on the _why_. It starts to feel like Unix command line with pipes, finally I can chain together the components I want without making tons of unreadable of intermediaries, and potentially without even any allocations if I play my cards right. I can also safely do transforms on vectors where intermediaries would require lots of memory, which would have meant "one big stonking for-loop" before. Ranges are amazing and I'm really annoyed clang is dragging its heels with proper support.
