> It assumes people drive to the work in the morning have charging stations at work

That's a pretty reasonable assumption once electric cars are the majority of cars.

> and don't commute very far.

There are popular electric cars with a range on the order of 300 miles. The average commute is 41 miles round trip.

> Also, there's loads of people doing errands during the day, or utility vehicles transporting cargo.

The average person does not drive 300 miles a day in total, and so does not need to charge more than once a day in total. Utility vehicles will have larger batteries and more range, and will strongly prefer to charge during daylight because charging from solar will cost less.

> And lastly, few grid operators are going to accept that their grid storage may drive away on masse during the holidays.

It's storing the energy that the vehicle itself will use. If the vehicle leaves the area then so does its demand for electricity.

> During a cloudy week, you're going to have a shortfall all the time. Solar drops to 10-25% effectiveness with cloud cover

If your grid has 40GW of nuclear and 60GW average of solar (which generates 120GW during daylight) then the 120GW drops to 30GW and you have 70GW of generation, which could be less than the demand before noon. You can also run the peaker plants even though you already had a surplus in those hours so you can put even more into the batteries to have enough later in the day.

> But again, peak demand isn't at midnight it's at 8pm. You can't just hand-wave away the challenge of meeting peak demand when intermittent sources aren't producing.

Suppose you have enough nuclear to meet the demand at midnight, which is enough to meet half of the demand at 8PM. So now you need to satisfy the other half from batteries for four hours, because before 6PM the sun is still up and after 10PM the demand falls off to what you're getting from nuclear. So you don't need enough batteries to satisfy all of the demand for the 12 hours when there is no sunlight, you only need enough to satisfy half of the demand for those four hours.

> And it aligns even worse during the Winter: solar is producing the least amount of energy, cloud cover is at its greatest extent.

But there is more wind in the winter, and at night, when there is more demand for heating.

And one of the ways to decarbonize heating in cities is nuclear with cogeneration. Then you're not using electricity for heat, you're using the waste heat from the reactors, which chops off a large chunk of even the existing nighttime load.

I use Vim, not neoVim. Combined with Tmux it's great. Any strong arguments in favor of neoVim?
Glimpsing at the source code - yes, definitely.

For example, the code imports "copyArray", a 9LoC function that does exactly the same as the built-in Array.slice() would do.

Same goes for other imported helpers like "arrayEach", which could be replaced by the built-in Array.every().

It's basically a bunch of unnecessary polyfills for built-ins.

Some people just wake up in the morning wanting to fight. If you're providing support, you might just be the first person they find on a given day.

It's crazy to want to fight someone who is trying to help you, but lots of people end up in crazed states when hammering away at projects behind their computer terminals.

Taking a step back even further, I think that requiring any form of software support or correspondence with software makers is a completely alien concept. I have done it under 5 times in more than 30 years of using computer software and writing documentation.

No doubt that countless people encounter show stopping software issues for which they cannot find alternative tools, workarounds, or workflows, but I find that it's almost always better to just go shopping at these junctures, rather than enter into some kind of chain of correspondence hoping that someone out there in the ether might possibly one day fix your problem.
i use https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe which is super amazing. sadly the PR to implement sponsorblock in the main newpipe was worked on for almost a year but unfortunately the youtube-dl fiasco happened around the same time and that spooked the devs who refused to import the PR.

That forced the PR author to set up the fork which is working surprisingly well. People were imagining that the fork would not survive but i have been using it since day 1 and can't imagine newpipe or libretube without sponsorblock.
They shut it down and then a few years later Discord was launched and the rest is history.
I am using Roundcube with a modern theme called Elastic. It works like a desktop app. I have gmail through work too but I don't like using it. I think Roundcube is much better. But my colleagues prefer Afterlogic which has a much simpler interface.
> what seems unnecessary to you is necessary for some other reason you’re not aware of.

In this case this was more-or-less true. As my counterpart in HR explained, there are federal government rules mandating this bit of bureaucracy. Of course, one can presumably get away with ignoring them... but, as it turns out, the rules weren't something she made up.

> Is there a path where you didn’t get your way but you also didn’t get upset? And where you didn’t upset anyone else?

If her response was "Sorry, I realize this is annoying, but [explanation]", then certainly."

Given the tone of her response, then in principle still yes, but it seems to require a lot of mental fortitude. Kind of like how a skilled boxer can take a punch in the ring and remain basically unfazed.

Where do you you see lots of projects failing with Meteor? Link?

Meteor has very active development. I have used Meteor for many years.
I'm very excited by this, especially the idea of a bash shell with wasmer.sh because so much code depends on a shell to work, and it's the core thing needed to be productive. I couldn't get Python to run in the wasmer.sh shell though with the included wasmer in wasmer command (great inception potential). If it had some kind of compiler or make, that could be really promising. The Linux JS projects aim at emulating specific CPU architectures in the browser, which is probably not that different, but with WASM at least you know it's meant to be portable from the start.
I ain't no OSI shill. No, rather I mean it's "your employer probably doesn't want you to even look at this" source-available. Many people here work on SaaS products. If you work on a SaaS you likely want to avoid AGPL/OSL/SSPL without consulting your legal team.

As a corollary, the Unreal engine source is on GitHub, but that doesn't make it open source.

It's strictly disingenuous to call SSPL open source (I personally believe it's disingenuous to call AGPL open source but I digress)
how about microacquire
Another nice use is encapsulating custom form elements since they can natively provide a value to the form instead of needing a surrogate hidden field and all that entails.

Embedding interactive content into a cms is I guess another surface but that's more semantic sugar and style encapsulation.

While they could have been relatively weak, I would not presume they were weak or played a small role in progressing civilization. Being a cousin was recognized as being important for lots of things at the leadership levels and I assume that filtered down to society:

> Traditionally, many factors were important in arranging royal marriages. One such factor was the amount of territory that the other royal family governed or controlled.[4] Another, related factor was the stability of the control exerted over that territory: when there was territorial instability in a royal family, other royalty would be less inclined to marry into that family.[4] Another factor was political alliance: marriage was an important way to bind together royal families and their countries during peace and war and could justify many important political decisions.[4][116]

Nice explanation of the time-slit experiment of light
Absolutely not. Firstly, a huge number of these miles are either being done directly under test conditions or with employees as the passenger, and secondly any actual passengers have probably signed significant wiavers. Secondly, when accidents do happen I bet you that some legal department at Google is highly motivated to step in and "investigate" - ie, get everyone involved to sign NDAs and then conclude their investigation with some conclusion that doesn't impact their stats.

I'm not saying this is happening - but it would be entirely unsurprising to me if it were. And I think actually there are some rumours of Tesla engaging in that kind of behaviour - classifying crashes as being unrelated to Autopilot because Autopilot disengages in the moments leading up to the crash. How would anyone refute that? And if they tried, do you think they'd face significant legal jeopardy from Tesla.

That's about right, another massive fumble from Google. Bard was and still is pretty hopeless and unless they pull their finger out it's going to be another market lost to them that they basically invented. They need to come out with something that's a blockbuster of a product and then just give it away for free or at low cost to win back market and mind share.

In mindustry you build smaller factories, mostly to power turrets/build units to attack an AI. Focus is on tower defense. Logistics is cute but minimalistic. Each level takes 30-60 min on a casual play though.

Factorio is much more in depth on logistics and is a single "level". Takes 30-60 hours on a casual first playthrough.

> "America can't build affordable high-speed rail" suggests that that their is same lacking capability in engineering. "Land costs make building in dense areas unprofitable" is a completely different story.

The reason doesn't matter - the end result does, namedly that America is incapable for a multitude of reasons (lack of political support, NIMBYs, excessive land value, unions ridiculous even to a union-loving European, lack of experience in planning and construction of such projects) to build high-speed rail.

The online shopping service over here (Allegro, basically Amazon and eBay all in one) is perfectly happy to do pay-on-delivery for a small fee. You probably need to be 18 to sign up, but no Polish person ever actually cared about such restrictions and there's no age check.

In the most broadest sense, along all the dimensions. Including both what bad DEI is talking about and what you are talking asking about.

100%, as for when, always part of the culture so it never needs to be top of mind. I think it likely sufficient to root out bigots, zealots, and those who discriminate. At some point the scale does grow large enough that you need people who's job is to help standardize and facilitate the process. The bad DEI did not do this well, I've seen it done really well personally.

I think the Java team is getting there. Everything in the sytanx-space they have worked on moved towards a functional representation of data. Once you have a uniform way to describe non-uniform types (sum types, rust enums etc.), adding exception support to the JDK seems trivial.

I've actually made small streaming libraries which also support exceptions, but the problem is that it only works well if you need to support a single exception type.

As far as I'm concerned, I like checked exceptions because it improves discoverability, documentation and makes exceptional control flow more visible when reading code (including code reviews).

You're right, credit also goes to the Russians that had just finished starving Ukraine into submission (and would go on to implement a system of brutal repression that killed tens of millions and consigned eastern Europe to dictatorships for decades), and the British colonial empire.
