If I recall correctly (from 2017 coverage), those paintings were painted over for each frame of the movie.

So those 898 oil paintings are with the final image of a given shot.
The recommendation algorithm of YouTube is extremely good in my experience. Of course it recommends mainly similar things, and that's reasonable, but also sometimes rather distantly related things.
> - Full environmental cost of the entire supply including construction?

And also including dismantling and spent fuel/ contaminated material storage and disposal for unknown time to come. Also not only environmental, but social cost of creating a spent fuel site that does have to be cared for hundreds of years while bringing no benefit at all, with huge costs.

That BBC article is actually funny. There is no disaster, it's glass, aluminum and some metals, all of them eminently recyclable but since there was not a lot of PV panels until now it was not an issue. It will be an issue now and it will be solved, but it pales in comparison with other waste.
I suspect the economy in general is a big part of it. That and the high price of the cards. But a lot of things have inflated prices these days.

Honestly I think PC gaming etc. could be the least of our problems pretty soon. It's really about trying to find anyone with a plan for how to avoid WWIII.
To me not being able to be fully remote is a complete non-starter for any job. I've been remote for the last 5 years, no way in hell I'd give up that freedom to be chained to an office again.

Also I'm not interested in wasting my time studying competitive programming questions for those interviews.

But sure if you love grinding Leetcode and don't mind being chained to a desk, I'm sure Google is alright.
I think it depends on the quality of your relationship with your colleague. I've had 1on1's that I always look forward to and others that I always dread. If you have a good relationship with your colleague or manager, I see them as a big plus.
> I own the DocuSign subreddit.

You don't own it, you were just either the first person to create the subreddit or someone who has since becomes the longest-serving moderator on it.

I'll never understand how camping on a subreddit gives anyone the right to say that they "own" it or gives them more power over everyone else indefinitely. It's a big flaw in Reddit, I think all subreddits should be put up for some kind of vote every ~2 years.
Soon we will have too much solar. Which is a nice problem to have but still. In 2021 Dutch solar and wind produced >100% of the demand 0.4% of the time. In 2023 it's already 5%. It's not a disaster but the producers have to switch the plants off (due to negative el. prices). Which makes the business case worse - you are not making money at night, when it's cloudy or when it's too sunny. And they will add another ~7.5GW peak solar+wind this year (60% of demand)! Hopefully, someone can figure out what to do with all the extra energy (hydrogen? synthetic fuels?)
I don’t think so. Pareto principle is based on the idea that 20% of the effort will get you 80% of the gains. This article states that at any point in time you should give 85% of the effort in order to maximize output in the long term. Otherwise, you risk burning out if you give 100%, and then your output drops to zero.
Load following is economic suicide when most of the costs are fixed, which is why nuclear plants tend to shy away from it.
> But they were widely used by business people, and I’m assuming that was an important aspect of permeating into the other demographics.

Similarly to how VR headsets are used by gamers and tech enthusiasts today. Just like VR for gaming, not everyone was willing to pay exhorbitant prices to lug around a briefcase of a phone, and use it only for poor quality phone calls.

> AR/VR devices are attempting this the other way around: their current use cases seem to be mostly recreational, and we are hoping they will eventually come up with some productivity use cases.

Sure, but the actual current use case doesn't matter. Once the capabilities, price and user experience improve, it will become more appealing to a mass audience.

Think of the iPhone: there were certainly devices that had the same functionality of "an iPod, a phone, and an internet mobile communicator" before it. But Apple saw the right opportunity when the tech got good and cheap enough to vastly improve the user experience and expand the capabilities beyond just a mobile phone. It's what they're good at.

> Someone in this thread talked about how they are surprised that tablets have sort of flopped

But tablets didn't flop. They got merged into 2-in-1s, foldables, "phablets", etc. They've certainly replaced laptops for many users. The only reason productivity is limited on devices like the iPad is because Apple wants to, for whatever reason (possibly to avoid cannibalizing sales of their other products?). But the iPad is still selling well, AFAIK, and many professionals use it. Google and Android never prioritized the tablet form factor, so it understandably lags behind. So productivity is restricted mostly because of software, and the touch interface makes it more suitable for consuming content. If you need to be productive and the software is not a problem, you add a mouse and keyboard, and there's your 2-in-1.

I remember when I first learned about pruning. Tomato plants were way more organized after that!

Before that I was optimizing for growing as much and as fast as possible. It’s fun but it’s a mess.
> Nobody gave a shit about smart phones before the iphone.

Too much hyperbole. Perhaps 50% of people cared before iPhone and 100% after iPhone.

In the case of VR, it's more like 5% before Apple and ... 10% after?

I think the Apollo creator mentioned the fact that Reddit doesn't even inject ads in the posts it delivers through its API. He seemed confused about why they hadn't.

Which begs the question why the hell they didn't work on getting the apps used for browsing Reddit to display ads? Just include them as posts like they do on the website, perhaps just with a label added. If the apps try to filter away the ads, revoke their API keys.

If users pay extra, omit the ads from the API. If companies want an entirely ad-free API, for training LLMS etc, they can pay extra.

This problem seems like something that could have so easily been avoided. I think I would happily pay a small monthly fee to keep an ad-free Apollo browsing experience, especially if it could be done in a way where the money was split between Reddit and Apollo. But.. they never even tried?
The summary at the top of the article clearly mentions that the precise number 85% is just a rule of thumb...
Hmm, many google web features not-so-subtly nudge you to install Chrome. Some outright block usage of anything other than Chrome. This has been going on for well more than a decade.

I regularly see small/medium websites which state they only work with Chrome, but I feel they do so at their peril.

I see some of those sites push people to install a "desktop app" if you do not use Chrome, which is of course an Electron-based app.

I also regularly see services that just fail for long runs of time on non-Chrome browsers due to complete lack of regression testing, or (slightly more generously) because they aren't testing their services against current releases of Firefox/Safari. Safari is more sensitive to this, both because of a much more active development tick compared to Firefox, and because it is leveraging system frameworks rather than a relatively static compatibility layer 'buffer'.
I'm glad your mental health is better, but you come across as an unreliable narrator. I very rarely have my comments removed, and when it has happened, it's never because I posted interesting facts about Cavendish bananas or how VLIW is underrated - it's at least a little controversial or rubs people the wrong way.

The problem with downvotes is brigading (trolls overrun your community), and people have to get exposed to toxic shit before it's downvoted enough to be hidden. You're free to go to voat or whatever if you want. I like communities with good moderation, I seek them out.
Overstating problems/blockers, overestimating stories and overselling your work should be in any capable slackers toolkit to enforce work life balance and proper pacing on the "client" (read: employee) side.

One should also teach those skills to colleagues to deconstruct high performance (stress) environments.

I once had a manager who would literally "sneak up" on people: He would make cartoonish sneaking gestures while sneaking up behind someones chair! He criticized anything not purely work related he could see on screens. When I had worked enough and wanted to rest, my solution was to literally scroll through source code while going somewhere else in my head.
Maybe it could have a good effect ironically, the problem with Reddit's moderation is the actual moderators. They mostly seem to be self righteous narcissists and have been the cancer killing reddit for the past decade. Purging them all and starting over with a clean slate could bring new life and freshness to the septic tank of a community it has become.

I don't care about the reddit API but I am enjoying watching the this dumpster fire burn. Popcorn sure does taste good indeed.

> The second type is “failure-avoiding” perfectionists: people who are consistently anxious that their work is not sufficient or adequate, who fear losing the esteem of others if they fail to attain perfection

Didn't know about it. I guess I'm somehow a perfectionist when I work with people I respect or on projects I find valuable. It's tiring though.
The developer of Apollo is clearly asking for money. Even in the thread he made today he wrote "Why doesn't Reddit just buy Apollo and other third-party apps?" and then linked to a comment saying Apollo should ask for 100 million dollars. His ask for 10 million dollars wasn't a joke. He is thinking that while reddit is mad, he can get the money just to go away.
If you are building bf a company for the long term, this is the right mindset. If you push people hard all the time, you are optimizing for short term gains but risking long term losses. People will burn out and quit. Finding new people, training them, and getting them to perform costs a lot of money.
really interesting but I originally clicked on this thinking it was about how Valve came up with Steam
> No. Typescript cannot access runtime values (I assume you mean types that depend on runtime values).

That's not the meaning of dependent types, and dependent type checkers don't require runtime information.
Yeah, that’s just aging, unfortunately.
Its not only burning out but also having spare capacity for emergencies. Which is also in the interest of the employer.
We don't know whether the meter accepts every command, or the device has a fixed security protocol reverse engineered and known by researchers.

These protocols exist to get current readings from meters for data retrieval ease, and generally have a combination of security through obscurity and simple authentication to enable mass readings (by authorized people) easier. IIRC, these things can talk P2P in densely populated areas, and you can get all meters' readings in mere minutes, tops.

In any way, after and initial PoC, the rest of the video gets into territory of equipment abuse, and I got angry and sad while watching it. You can do it, OK, then why damage things which are not yours? Document your findings and leave.
> you would leave your jacket on the back of your chair and go to the pub at 11am

I’ve talked to junior employees (in 2023) for non-tech companies and you’d think they work for Amazon warehouses - I’ve heard people say they get criticized or called out for spending a long time in the bathroom “probably on social media”. So there’s probably some cohort of people that truly experience that level of oversight.

I don’t know about going to the Pub at 11, but I’ve definitely seen plenty of ways to slack off in person. My manager was buying a new laptop last month and spent 4+ hours measuring random books and objects trying to get an idea of the dimensions of his future laptop… as if he didn’t already spend the day at the Apple Store and didn’t already place the order.
Half a mil will buy you a decent house outside of London and very little within it.

Of course that only works if you can work from home for a London based tech company.

From my own experience, I'm very grateful to be able to do that from my home office in the UK, outside of London. I hate long commutes or living in big cities.
FWIW, as of 2021, Reddit had around 50 million DAUs and 450 million MAUs.

Some portion of users will also just fall back to visiting other subreddits on June 12.
Is there a link to the source code somewhere?

> Nobody gave a shit about smart phones before the iphone.

2 out of 3 isn't bad, but this is revisionist history, and simply wrong. Nokia dominated the pre-iPhone smartphone market with Symbian phones, which supported 3G for years before the first iPhone, which didn't even have 3G.

And are we assuming that Blackberries aren't "smartphones"? Because I think they probably are.
A situation where I needed this were typings for Cycle.js a couple years ago.
At this time, you could configure it to use the observable library of your choice but it was hard to type. In particular the observable could be a `Stream from "xstream"` or `Observable from "rxjs"`

This lib has a method `select` to return an observable list of DOM elements for a given CSS selector. What should be its signature? If using `xstream`, it should be `select(selector: string): Stream<HTMLElement[]>`, and if using `rxjs` it should be `select(selector: string): Observable<HTMLElement[]>`. Let's also assume that it has a second method `windowHeight` returning an observable for the window height (`Stream<number>` or `Observable<number>`).

We can make the lib object generic over the observable implementation, but you need HKTs to type it properly. The reason is that the lib is generic over an already generic type.

Here is an example:

// Without HKT (regular generic)
// Problem: both `select` and `windowHeight` return the same type (we lose the HTMLElement[]/number information)
interface Cycle<Obs> {
select(selector: string): Obs;
windowHeight(): Obs;
}
// The best we can do is type it as `Cycle<Stream<unknown>>` or `Cycle<rxjs.Observable<unknown>>`.

// With HKTs, using syntax from this lib, you could do:
interface Cycle<$HktObs> {
select(selector: string): apply<$HktObs, HTMLElement[]>;
windowHeight(): apply<$HktObs, number>;
}
// This allows to get the precise signatures we wanted (with the right observable impl, without `unknown`)
Reddit existed as an equivalent just slightly smaller alternative to Digg at the time. There is nothing like that for current Reddit.

Any thread about Google Search on here is filled with people saying they have to do "site:reddit.com" to get accurate results. I've never seen another site used in that example. I'd love to be proven wrong on this because it means there's some great internet resource I've been missing out on.
Show HN: I turned my email automation tool into a full-fledged email platform
Around 10 months ago, I published a tool I made (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32229278).

I was scouring the market for an affordable and easy-to-use email automation tool, to no avail.
The solution? I decided to just build it myself.

Since then, I've added the ability to send transactional and broadcast emails, threw out the subscription pricing and turned it into a usage-based model, etc. In short, turned it into a full-fledged email platform designed for SaaS.

With this post, I would like to share my learnings, findings...
Ask any question and I'll answer it to the best of my ability.

Thanks to the feedback of the HN community, I was able to turn this into something that I am still proud of every single day.
A sincere thank you from my side.
Even if the designers valued tamper-resistance and/or direct control of the device over broad durability and/or protection against intentional vandalism? It seems burn out after being switched on and off repeatedly under load may be an acceptable failure mode in this type of device.
Reddit can stand a 48h blackout without a problem.

Anything but a permanent blackout is just peanuts to them.
How can you say this, when the phone call is right there. You can listen to it yourself that is not what is being said. So much so that the Reddit person on the call apologises up to 4 times.

Would you apologise once, much less 4 times if you where being blackmailed?

Like this is just denial of reality, you have the phone call, we all do, what kind of nonsense attempt of gaslighting is this?
It changed the way I use computers. Absolutely love it. Though I moved to Hyprland a few months ago and it's very similar, but for Wayland (and a slightly nicer look, but not without its own quirks).

Funnily enough, I moved to Hyprland when one of the Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts (Linux Unplugged possibly?) talked about it. So from this thread alone you can tell that I'm quite easily influenced!
Now that’s just silly. Lots of things are more expensive than a nuclear reactor.

Grid-tied batteries are now about $300/kWh. Capitalized over 25 years, that adds 3.3 cents to peak (11AM) solar prices, which themselves can go negative at times (duck curve in action), and overall are 3-4 cents per kWh.

Nuclear (new) portends to cost between 7 and 20 cents per kWh according to Wikipedia.

Downvote me if you must, but the numbers are right there. Nuclear may have been the best option for a time, but that time has passed and is not coming back.
Actually, I think that it depends on your org level:

- if you're a developer, then your manager is supposed to be available to manage you "day-to-day"... so if any problem arise, you can just ask him directly. Obviously, if you're experimented, you wont need your manager often...

- if you're a manager, then you need to schedule 1:1 with your own manager (manager of manager) because it's easier to synchronise schedule and have a consistent consolidated reporting on a regular basis without spending to much time (remember: you must be available for your teams problems... and the younger your team, the most time they need).
Understood, thank you! I've mostly focused on dark mode for my stuff, but your experience is a very good reason to spend equal time on light and dark mode. I'd hate for someone not to be able to use whatever I build simply due to "bad design" for that person.

One last question if you don't mind - is a light mode with good foreground/background contrast enough for you to see well, even if there are elements with bright colors (e.g. here the orange top bar)? Or is it easier to clearly see everything with fewer colors (and thus higher contrast)?
No, you got it right. It's a bi-metal in all electric motors that I'm aware of that have overheating protection.

I actually had a dangerous situation here once in a big compressor motor that had a faulty soft-start circuit, that caused the bi-metal contacts to fuse so the protection no longer worked. By the time I noticed the compressor motor was way too hot to touch.

Reddit isn’t profitable therefore technically it doesn’t profit from anything.
I installed Ubuntu on my local server at home. A few weeks later I had issues with installing packages because Snap was enabled by default. I don't know what was configured wrong on my server but I managed to install 2 versions of the same firefox package from Snap, one using snap and the other using apt.

It broke the whole system so I decided to just remove snaps as a whole.

I run Arch Linux daily since 2019 and the only problems I had that I can remember are setting up dual-GPU on laptops and dealing with dual boot issues - whenever my laptop had a BIOS update on Windows, my BIOS settings would be reverted to the default, so the F1-12 keys acted as fn keys by default (e.g. pressing F5 wouldn't refresh a web page), Windows overwrote the bootloader on my boot partition so I had to reinstall GRUB/systemd-boot every time this happened and it also changed the SATA mode for the laptop which made it impossible to locate the Linux partition on my HDD unless I switched it back to AHCI (default was Intel RST + Optane).

The other issue I recently had with Arch which I think it's more related to the software and not the distro itself is that occasionally my Latte Dock will crash, but that's about it.
Funnily, my main beef with reddit has always been that it is "yet another data silo" and now that they seem hell-bent on proving my point, this project might actually change that to an extent. Of course, the move will still kill the platform or at least gut it of its actual value (the many niche communities built on it) but at least the data will be free. :)

Honest question, does this include artificial inflation of costs? I have seen figures that Reddit used to run with 20 people, and inflated to 2000 in 10 years. Old reddit is also superlight in bandwidth. New reddit is not.

I take it you didn't want to fall into the rabbit hole that is watch servicing, cleaning and lubrication? That's a deep and expensive one, especially for automatics...

Might I suggest you reach out to Marshall @WristwatchRevival and ask if he wants to give it a proper service? I'm sure he'd be delighted by this project.

Edit: you say "I glued the movement to the dial". That sounds like the dial will never come off, making servicing night impossible, or am I misunderstanding this? Also: "in a normal watch the dial would get sandwiched between the glass and the case somehow" no, typically there are holes drilled through the mainplate with screws that grab or hold the dial feet. The movement complete with dial and hands normally floats in the case, held in place with a couple screws.

When the market goes up, devs don't want to hear about unions because that would prevent them from jumping ship with a 50% raise. When the market goes down, they want a union to protect them from being fired from that +50% job they got knowing they would be paid much less in the current economy.

The dev logic is "fuck you I've got mine, you go get yours" but only as long as "line goes up".
So by their logic they should close their company.
Looks like selling company you helped build because you believed in the idea to people who are only interested in profits often leads to worse service and dissatisfied customers. Who would have thunk.
