Congrats to you and the team. Win to celebrate by everyone working in metal AM.

Yep, happened to me just last week with Azure Learning emails.

"why am I doing what I'm doing" - this! As someone struggling myself, asking this question often helps

I was just happy they removed that f...ing barbed wire on border of CRO/SLO Istria which was put up after 2015. Whom ever in Slovenian government decided to do that, is/was a f...ing idiot as they did it just to show how "hard" they are on immigration.

I second Disco Elysium. Top 10 games if not 5 I ever played. Sad thing about the studio and the creators getting pushed out of the company.

Thank you for answering or refuting most troll/red herring/lazy ignorance questions and comments.

It reminds me of Theme Hospital

I can't answer that and aslo I know people who are "deeper into this", this being energy economics, that can't agree either. The fact is that the bids for offshore wind has been going down for a while now. https://ieefa.org/articles/offshore-wind-prices-fall-new-rec...

The content seems great but there is something about that background that made me dizzy when I started scrolling. Anyone else?

I've inherited an internal application that handles some stuff for manufacturing written in .NET. (windows app, used by 100 people cca, 10k lines of OOP code roughly) The way it was written or actually re-written, allowed even for a non-programmer like me (at least not formally trained) to easily to implement all the changes.

Sorry for your loss. I intend(ed) to do the same with my dad and my uncle, his brother, not just for their stories but for the story of my grandad.

Specifically I wanted to get my grandad's story about his time in the partisan/antifascist movement and then after the war him being imprisoned as Stalin spy effectively becoming persona non grata. The whole story is one of betrayal, comeback and then mercy displayed towards the accusers. What I found fascinating about this is the humanity my grandad kept, that still guides me today.

I would be interested in reading a guide on how to conduct this kind of interviews, so if you have one, please share. I was even thinking of paying someone from film school to do it.

Thing is, without this system, I can't and won't remember to do any of the things I need to. It doesn't matter how important it is to me to make sure I buy an anniversary card for my wife: I'll forget until it's too late - this is exactly the sentence I have repeated over and over again to my wife...a bit scary.

I do have a similar approach like you. What I'm f..ing furious about it is, that I had to reach my middle 20s in order to realize I have to have something like this at all(!). Why personal time organization isn't taught at schools is beyond me. For me the system I try to keep in place is: - Daily task list (personal) - this absolutely has to be done today (or it needs to be replaned) - Daily task list (work) - has to be done today or I have to make a more long term plan - Weekly house(hold) tasks - (this one I started recently) - I go through major stuff I have to do around the house (fence, paint ect) - Long term work project list - this holds everything I need to do for work... again less interesting issues gets re-prioritized often based on "current interest" - Calendar reminders (double/triple alerts)- stuff not to forget

What I'm especially bad is tackling things that have a steep effort curve and don't produce a tangible "benefit (dopamine hit)" until further on. This I'm looking into hacking....perhaps the scrum point system is something that makes sense (and also recommended by comment above)

Yea, I've been thinking the same. I don't do so much scrum at work, but when I did and when I tried something similar on non-direct-work related projects it did something for me...In retrospect, I remember the pleasure of achieving certain amount of "points". When you break them down, do you try to "predict effort" in points or similar? I think it's perhaps time to try again.

Thanks for sharing. I understand what you mean and I'm currently doing something similar...again. What I (often) lack is the steps needed to go from a more complex long term project to MVW/MVD tasks and then sustaining that in the long run. I'm currently looking into ways of hacking this, this being the dopamine cycle.

I wonder if people with (adult) ADD are more susceptible to this. Same as the author, I would like to hear the story of someone breaking the cycle for good.

I have to ask whether or not you are referencing some specific sets, like high-end Porsche, Lambo ect. or are you talking about LEGO in general, as it seems you have an axe to grind.

If you are genuine about your inquiry, then at this very moment there are 3 supermarkets around me with a toy aisle and a discount basket which includes discounted LEGO sets (30-50%), either due to products running out or box being damaged. I'm assuming there is something similar near you.

Second, and more important, if you or someone close to you work with an organization that helps kids living in poverty, you are welcome and encouraged to contact LEGO directly and ask for help. They have several organizations and initiatives inside the group that help either by directly donating sets or by donating money for other needs.

My dad just installed 200kW on the roof of his factory. The biggest issue is getting the blip* contract with the grid so you could sell the electricity back, and I mean that at any rate. This is by far the biggest hurdle so having an alternative to store energy that makes economic sense will be the biggest wind in the back for a lot of people wanting to do the same.

Few years ago I was in Phoenix,AZ when it was 40 most of the day with I'm guessing 0%-10% humidity. As our hotel had a pool I went for a dive and returned back to the shade and to my surprise I started shaking from being cold as evaporative cooling effect was so intense. Similar to other HN user, I would prefer this kind of heat aka 40 degC with 0-10% humidity than what we have in Denmark during few summer days with 28 degC and 70% humidity.

I don't know how noisy the office you are referring to is, but I found that using noise cancelation headphones (bose,sony,jabra) and having Grey Noise ( https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/greyNoiseGenerator.php ) does produce good results while not being distracting.

I highly recommend watching a short film inspired by Blade Runner, made by a small Croatian studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyn0cLCMKsM

"He plays with toys for a living" is the usual answer from my dad and I'm guessing a lot of employee's parents that work for the same company (Danish producer of interlocking toys...guess which one). The thing is, he knows exactly what I do, as he is an engineer himself, but he prefers to say "yea yea, him (me) play with toys all day long"

shadertoy is awesome

Has anyone completed an edX master degree program in Computer Science and later got hired because of it? In general I would like to hear positive and negative experiences of doing a CS master online on edX.

For doing that on hard/impossible setting, try doing it in Danish as a foreigner. Every person in Denmark I discussed language with, at one point gives this example.

Thanks for the reply. Let me start of by saying that I'm aware that a good portion of students will require a more direct approach the same way they will require "parental" oversight for homework. Perhaps I should have restricted the question to the kids/students who have enough discipline/drive/habits for more self-study oriented education.

In my mind a "better high school of tomorrow" would be the one that utilizes the best available classes and material available online in a physical class room environment, except for classes that are unique to the national curriculum. So a school would have people employed in some new role of mentor/teacher with whom you take the classes online with help and guidance.

What would be the stoppers from implementation of this that are not bureaucracy and rent seeking by existing structures... or just pride?

Does HN community generally agree with a statement that current "left x-ist aggressive woke purity ideology" is an extension of white puritanism and puritanist like ideology. As portion of white protestants lost their faith they found a replacement in the "holier than thou" approach of the hippy left? As a non american I see Occupy Wall Street as being more of a catholic left movement while everything after as protestant left one.

Preferably the measured room air temperature.

The thing is 17.2 C is ok with good insulation and really cold with bad one. (so is 20 C for that matter)
