  • We moved into a house about 10 years ago. Our garden current consists of 4x 3m2(4' x 8' for fellow Yanks) raised beds separate by 1ish meter (4') paths. We've also spilled into a fifth in ground bed for things that are more deer resistant like onions. I added DIY drip irrigation, also use a hose timer, etc and the four raised beds are pretty dense thanks to leaning on things that climb to get more garden volume.

    We could expand the garden more if we want to, and likely will in the future, but it sounds like your garden is larger currently.

    I am pretty jealous of your setup from an everything else perspective. We have to have a fence around our garden to keep deer out, but it can't block sunlight for the plants. This means the fence is pretty lightweight and that makes it easier for the kids to break. The space between the garden beds has always been a struggle to maintain. Mowing grass was annoying, so I mulched between the beds two years ago. Now I have another area to weed. Not using containers also means that if we plant... borderline invasive things like raspberries they try to escape the raised beds. I might pull them all out after the harvest this season as they're getting more ambitious with their escape attempts each season.

    Not that I can really complain, I'm happy to have a reasonable veg garden :)

  • Very cool setup! When my partner and I moved out on our own our first garden was on an apartment balcony, but our balcony was quite a bit smaller. We still had it covered in pots. Watering was a bit of a chore, but IMO it was worth it.

  • Fellow senior developer. Initially I was worried about exactly what you're worried about with juniors. Now I'm also worried that management layers are simply pushing for higher velocity without giving anyone time to think about a problem. We're in this nasty loop where one person defers more decisions to a LLM to push their individual velocity up. They then get rewarded. Who care if they don't know how the code works, it works! The tests pass. More people on the team should do the same or else. Then someone takes it a step further.

    It will be very interesting to see how maintainable, or not, corporate code will be in a few years. There could well be a booming industry for people to come in and clean up the mess.

  • Not likely under Trump sadly

  • I suspect this is due to the lights that OP is using.

    I start seeds every spring and keep them under 3x "big" grow lights for around 14 hours a day. I drive a Volt (plug-in hybrid with a 16ish kwh battery) around 200-250 miles/week on mostly battery. I do most of my charging at home. This month the Volt has consumed around 170 kwh. The lights have consumed 141 kwh in the same time period. The next thing on the list is our refrigerator with 36.5 kwh.

    At this rate, the lights will use 255 kwh for the month.

    On the plus side, our seedlings are not leggy. On the downside, that's around $50/month for the two months a year the lights are on.

  • it's not that unusual for regular skilled jobs to achieve 6-figure yearly salaries.

    This is a... very messy and complicated area to talk about and there are plenty of stats and data setsyou can cherry pick to make things sound better than they are. Consider things like median vs average, whether or not you excluded retired folks, etc.

    This graphic is a decent toe in the water:

  • Nice photo! What lens? That look is👌I have a few modern primes and the bookeh is nice but it's never this uniform.

  • The body shape and color scheme scream 1970s to me.

  • But... trash? Hopefully they're really going to a municipal compost facility.

  • I can't speak for other printers, but my X-Max 3 has an absurdly thick aluminum plate

    The stock 350mm Voron bed is 5/16" (8mm) thick. It's quite hefty lol

  • (it was totally a she, but yay!!)

  • DTW has areas that look much the same way too. The parking structure can get you quite a distance from the terminal.

  • What OP meant was volumetric flow, not the extrusion multiplier. Volumetric flow caps the volume of plastic the slicer will ask your extruder to deliver per second. Fiddling with this value can help prevent under extrusion.

    What you did by reducing speed is similar, but you could run into issues if you were to modify extrusion width or layer height.

  • Speaking in generic terms, film is way more forgiving of over exposure and digital is way more forgiving of under exposure. A fast lens is always king, but once you hit parity on that I would personally take digital for low light any day.

  • Thanks! I should have looked.

    ISO 51,200 is pretty high, which is why there's the grain/noise. I wonder if whomever took the photo also tried with a somewhat longer shutter speed and/or wider aperture. Both would reduce ISO and thus noise but come with trade-offs. Longer shutter speed can result in light streaks due to motion and a wider aperture will give less depth of field.

  • Less grain than a shorter exposure? Absolutely. Due to motion you still have to cap exposure duration to a somewhat small number or you'll start getting light streaking. It would be very interesting to see the exif information for this photo.

  • Hi, I missed this whole thing until after it ended :x

  • I don't know that there's really such a thing as too deep, but I've personally never put more than half of the seedling's stem below the ground when I transplant them.

  • Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.

    Seedlings are like houseplants in that the usually thrive on benign neglect. Too much attention usually means too much water and/or fertilizer, neither of which are good for a plant in a container.
