This - no wind and no sun - happens in the UK for a few days a month every month during the winter.

During this time then more electricity is imported, a lot of gas is burned, and coal stations are put on standby.

To my knowledge, then no industry needs to shut down

Find it hard to believe developers would pay $100/month unless the product embeds deeply into their workflow. I do think it's an interesting idea to place some limitations and still have a free tier.
Depends on when, that's why we need gas and other dispatchables. We've no grid-scale energy storage as of now. So saying they're cheaper isn't comparing apples to apples.

I don't store a lot, and it hasn't cost me much, but I'm budgeting $15k to upgrade.
Practically we will always have backup plants I suspect. But we don't need perfect, we just need better, plus redundancies. Gas is a common backup since it had a fast spin up time, couple that with batteries to smooth out frequency and cover spin up time and life is good.

I also want to point out that this is already going on, not just theory crafting. Solar and wind isn't just a good possibility, it is happening and in use right now. Batteries for grid stabilization is also an existing technology that is in practical use.
It was my go-to package in python, when I had to build graphs and ascertain acyclicity, single source, shortest path. They weren't huge graphs (at most 100s of elements), so networkx certainly did the work fast enough.

The Exception "exclusion solution" definitely it's not personalized and Sourcehut-only but available to anyone that requests it and in the issue track you can see several people that are using this exclusion already.
True that an opt-out (what this solution boils down to) is not ideal but it's way better than using your users quality of service to try strong-arming your side. And anyway from the go team it's been made clear that they are working on improving the situation of the refreshes and this opt-out is just the temporary solution until they fix the real issue.
I'd read this article!
Yes but we should have been effectively immune because we have so much nuclear power and we were brought to this situation by a combination of several things: lack of will to continue building new power plants, maintenance schedules being behind due to Covid, and the way regulations are retroactively applied means the technical challenges are substantial in the more aged plants leaving France well below optimal nuclear capacity when it is most needed, even with that our share of gas usage to generate electricity is small and the price of electricity should be largely decoupled from gas in a normal situation.

We still use too much gas to heat our homes, but I believe if we had had the capacity expected we could have reduced that substantially by having people use electric heaters without raising everyone’s electricity bill hugely .. but alas not enough plants online have lead to France feeling the pain like everyone else.
It's not a gotcha. We will still deploy solar and wind in the UK to great effect, and the current plants will remain and fill in the gaps. Best of both worlds, and still better than before.
The linked article seems very pro-nuclear. What a surprise.

"Nuclear power has historically been one of the safest and cleanest energy sources."

Again the same bullshit.

The prediction generates subsidies, which in turn make the prediction come true.
Etch'n'Sketch doesn't have batteries right? Or am I remembering wrong.
The only non-nuclear source would be geothermal, and maybe tidal I believe?

The sun is literally a nuclear fusion reaction. Wind and hydro are an artefact of the sun + the motion of the planets. We could even stretch the argument that fossil fuels are also indirectly solar from photosynthesis.

Maybe it was a typo?
Thanks! Comment made my night.

Solar and wind are intermittent sources of energy and Nat Gas, Coal or even Nuclear are needed to back solar/wind when they don't work, which is 70-80% of the time!

You can see here (wind energy generation is the red one) how crazy it would be to think wind could replace gas/nuclear energy. And this is not a single wind tower but for the whole Ontario province.

I think OpenPower has a fully open bootloader. But it's not exactly cheap to try.

Those systems startup into "Cache Contained" mode. Where the Boot ROM is copied to CPU Cache and there's no main memory yet. The code in the ROM has to initialized main memory before it can use it.
You usually only need this to do extremely low-level debugging in k8s, or to do generic system maintenance (e.g. OS upgrade).

Your average devops person? They will be happy when given a kubeconfig file linked to a role allowing them "kubectl exec" access to the workloads.
That's the point of the article, no? For a business, they can choose if they want to define a bug as "does not work to spec", or "does not work to user expectation" (I believe we agree there, that this is a distinction without a meaningful difference to development)

So, for the developer, the activity is the same. Given most software is existing and not green-field, if you extrapolate this idea out further, it implies that feature and maintenance work have a lot more overlap and are fundamentally the same thing for even larger projects /features than just small bug fixes. It raises the question, at what points and when does feature work and maintenance work become distinct activities?
Wind is always blowing somewhere on a continent. It's all about connecting countries together, storing a little bit, and pricing dynamically.
Adding a battery and switch is the obvious solution to the problem. I'm in the UK and ended up going for the Powerwall 2 and Tesla Gateway, alongside our panels.

The installation had to be certified by the electricity company to ensure that it operates safely in the event of a grid power outage, but (in theory as we've not had a power cut since installation) it should all work fine.
The author calculated the cost of 1 iPhone se was sub $50, which is 27k Google ocr images.

"I'm a business/product/xyz co-founder and good with product/people/business/pre-sales. In our prior Startup, I took the product team from a person of one to XYZ and sustained the company's growth for two years. Unfortunately, we had to shut down our company. I'm looking for a founding or early-founding team role in a seed/or-something funded Startup taxing on its runway. I can do this/that to achieve that/that/and-that/. I don't consider myself technical but can understand and translate the technologies to meaningful business outcomes and sell it externally to customers or the internal stakeholder."

Now, change/edit/enhance that narrative and approach Startups with cash in their bank. This is if you still want to fight it out and become an experienced founder. Your third attempt, if you have to, might have a much better story and outcome.

If you want to go to a big corporation, then I believe you have many choices.
On the contrary, this sort of creative thinking is what's needed instead of automatically reaching for that shiny Cloud Toy. It's easy to get a proof-of-concept working, sure, but at scale, you start torching through cash.

> One could argue that giving one side enough support to keep fighting, but not enough to win, causes long term damage to them.

I don't agree. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for around a decade, but only recently has support ramped up to adequate levels.

I recall that Germany's initial response to Russia's 2022 invasion was to pledge handing over helmets.

The goal of a conflict is to win, and what represents winning really depends on your situation. In Ukraine's position, winning might mean more than forcing out Russia from it's territory. For Ukraine, winning might mean breaking Russia's willingness to continue perpetrating a genocide that's ongoing for around a decade.
The storage problem is wildly overstated when we look at data from real world experience. Great thread here explaining how we need far less storage than is often claimed:

This is wrong on so many levels :-) As of now, React is probably the only major frontend framework that doesn't interop well with web components, requiring various hacks for doing so. Proper support is hopefully coming in version 19. What you have with React is its own, React-specific way of encapsulating parts of UI into stateful functions that helps to think about them as components.

And to have web components support built-in would mean to have them in the browser anyway, not in a third-party library.

I also love the idea of having the hard to automate stuff be encoded in checklists (or creating checklists as a first step in formalizing a process). My biggest issue was that every time I looked there weren't tools around that would support this. If there was a web based, multi user tool (ideally open source) that allows you to define checklists and then have multiple "instantiations" of them to produce some form of paper trail of the execution that would be great!
This looks attractive at first but it has one show-stopping problem AFAICT: if it turns out that a function has a bug, you can't fix it by changing the function definition. You have to create a new function and then change every single call site from the old definition to the new one.

Maybe there is a solution to this problem, but a cursory review of the language description didn't turn one up. It seems like a Really Hard Problem because there is nothing that can structurally distinguish between a new function that is created for its own sake, and a new function that is intended to be a bug-fixed (or otherwise enhanced) version of an old one.

Maybe a unison aficionado can enlighten me?

Not a typo - pretty much all the energy that we get on Earth is the just the Sun - which indeed is nuclear (perhaps i should have said fission). "Geothermal" pumps are solar, too (the earth being heated conserving energy), I suppose the term is used a bit too widely - with the Earth core/spinning being a vastly different source.

Your point stands though. I meant type of energy that's readily available on Earth - either Sun based (fossil, solar, wind, hydro - all directly depend on the Sun), or nuclear fission. We don't have any fusion available, yet - that would be a real change.

> How is that a good user experience?!? In what world?

In the world of Telegram and WhatsApp, where the own vision and strategy of their camera user experience are valued higher than handing off the task of image-taking to the default camera application.

Really, the decision is in the hands of the App developer, the Android platform is offering both paths.

The idea is that CameraX combines a bit of both worlds, with vendors like Samsung integrating features there and App-Developers using this toolbox instead of directly calling the API of the camera hardware.

Infinity Engine was 2D.

Neverwinter Nights was a full 3D engine but the gameplay and controls were clearly descended from Infinity Engine ,at least the first game... (I didn't play the second to be sure).

So it could do a 3D "Isometric", if you wanted to. As far as I know it is the only dedicated 3D RPG engine that wasn't intended to be controlled as third person "shooter" style controls.
This is going to be very contextual. Hear me out; what if they had some revenue and were on the verge of default alive.

Now, I would or any founder love to talk more with that person.
Naming Elixir Phoenix context functions
Ask yourself: was the startup a failure due to macroeconomic conditions or something else outside your control, or did it fail because of internal mistakes and lack of experience?

I fear too many people get into the startup world and end up cosplaying as executives, when in reality they haven't put in the hard work to earn that position. If this feels uncomfortably close to home, I suggest focusing on a "normal" job in a corporate environment, and being humble about what your experience really counts for when it comes to levelling expectations.

Exactly. More like they are selling vaporware. I paid $7500 for the self driving mode _a full year ago_ and it I definitely don't expect it to ever work now. They clearly sold customers something they didn't have.
Historically speaking, this seems true. My understanding is that you're only looking at hydrocarbons (coal/gas), nuclear, and hydro, since everyone else is pretty new. Hydro is obviously the cleanest/safest, and nuclear has killed far fewer people than coal/gas.

Personally, I think there is and should be such a distinction, but it looks to me as though it was rather an intentional rather than an extensional one, like you can't tell when adding grain of sand adds up enough to call it a 'heap', or you can perfectly sit on a couch table and put your coffee cup on the bar stool. The latter turns the place-things-on-me thing into a piece of sitting furniture, and the sitting furniture acts as a table.

Once upon a time I was challenged to write some smallish piece of software in Java and I immediately got annoyed by that extra compilation step. I 'solved' that by putting compilation and execution into a single command line incantation.

Sure, if you look at it that way, there 'are no heaps', 'no chairs no tables', 'no compilation no interpretation just computation' but when you come back from the trip, a hammer's still a hammer and a screw won't nail it.

I get that. Testing components in particular is something I've rarely found to be worth it as well.

But often I find myself writing logic in the frontend, say for processing data from the API. That's where I want to create a file and write a unit test because it would actually be easier. Sadly for a small project the effort of configuring and maintaining updates of an external test framework on-top of Next makes no sense.

Took me by surprise. Ruck isn't bad-looking, but he's not what I think of as "movie-star handsome".

At least, not in FBDO. I think he's grown more into his face as he's got older, but back then that's not how I'd have described him.

A nice analysis but not much that goes beyond the obvious. Perhaps it's actually more an interpretation than an analysis, if the former term were to allow for more of a personal stance / opinion. There's certainly a couple of things where I would disagree with Almond's view but then again, it's a film from the 80s that I haven't seen in over a decade if not two. Perhaps because there's more important things to life. Still, Ferris Bueller's Day Off certainly holds a nice and cozy place in my memory.
