Why do they need to be connected together at all?

Medium to large installations have multiple strings anyway. Why not set up the different types of cells as their own strings on separate inverters?

In dense housing situations or areas with heavy tree cover the limiting factor starts to become available roof space. Spending a little extra to squeeze out more efficiency would make sense.
There are not really left wing people in US politics. Democrats are center-right. Some of that is the legacy of Bill Clinton and "triangulation".

Unsolicited medical advice is not appropriate. It suggests that the people suffering from the condition in question have put literally zero effort into solving their problem, when in reality they likely have already heard about and tried every "trick" or "alternative treatment" you're going to suggest.

Other common scenarios:

* Telling a chronic pain sufferer to "just try cannabis, it works better than pharmaceutical pain killers!"

* Suggesting [common behavioral quirk] is a very obvious sign of ADHD, and encouraging them to take Adderall.

* A whole host of "x supplement fixes y chronic condition" suggestions.
Metasystems: Thinking Your Way to Mastery
Nah, the shitty parts of web dev are in basic building blocks other ecosystems handle without a problem. The fact that javascript can run anywhere doesn't mean it needs to have crappy build systems. It doesn't mean it needs to have constant breaking changes and flaky dependencies. CSS is crap for layouts. I've build apps with at least 10 layout systems, and CSS is the worst of all of them.
Do any video call clients support this ?
Well, the Common Language Runtime that powers .Net languages isn't written with .Net, and the Java runtime environment isn't written in Java.

I know these are a lot more involved than the functions provided by the glibc, but the point is that libc means Library for C, not Library in C.

And of course on Unixes all software is expected to link to the glibc for basic functionality, no matter whether it's written in C or not. So the name is only historically accurate.
That's my point, I don't think it seems to matter very much... Sometimes an individual has a good idea, sometimes we all come up with good ideas...

What’s wrong with Berkey?
I challenge the author to do so with episodic memory or working memory literatures. If you want to challenge psychology, then challenge the core areas of psychology, not the outsider subfield social psychology, which had a fling with flashy results and an underestimation of statistics, who simultaneously discounted cultural differences as well cognitition in their explanatory models.

Challenge the real meat of the field of psychology: Attention. Perception. Memory. And if stuck on biases: Biases im Attention, Perception, and Memory.

otherwise, this article and others like it are and will continue to be utter click-bait trash.
Betting on AI to create a one-person unicorn with a billion-dollar valuation

One issue of radar-directed machine guns in the context of the Red Sea is that machine gun range is limited, so they can only provide point defense. This means that a warship can only protect itself, and any commercial ships that are -very- nearby.

Yes, you could probably figure out a way to rig up a lot of these onto smaller ships to escort individual ships/convoys through, but hey you go to war with the navy you have.

Unironically, the LCS's might be useful in this role.

More generally, you see stuff like the army's new M-SHORAD having missiles (Stinger+Hellfire) and 30mm + 7.62mm guns.
Pointing out that research was paid for by an organization that has an inherent conflict of interest is an extremely valid argument. It doesn't necessarily mean that the research was biased or shoddy, but it absolutely should cause us to take their conclusions with a healthy helping of salt.
If a target is moving slow enough it can be difficult to track. Similar to how you can defend against radar missiles by 'notching' aka flying perpendicular so the relative velocity of the target is near zero. Radar typically relies on the dopplar shift caused by the target moving to eliminate clutter.
Echoing what others have said - Xcode is worse than all of that.

I read The Phoenix Project a while back and really liked it, have been intending to pick up the The Unicorn Project for some time now. Did you think just the audiobook wasn't better or in general it wasn't as good as The Phoenix Project?
> Anger is not at all useless, it is a powerful and extremely useful emotion.

A while ago I had a loved one both harmed and threatened.

I called my insurance, who gave me a lawyer, who got the facts from my loved one and combined them with the law, giving the case to a judge, who gave us a court order which allowed us to both (a) remedy the harm, and (b) get law enforcement backup. For this outcome, very little energy, and no courage (at least on our parts), was required.

How would anger —or even moral outrage— have improved the situation?
The problem isnt "configuration"

Yaml, JSON, xml, text files... all work great for configuration.

But the assumption is that your configuring a piece of software on an already existing system.

A config file as means of setting up a system, installing software, and establishing how its going to run is exceedingly stupid.

Write your app so it can run on bare metal, install with apt, yum or your tool(s) of choice for your org. Build it so it scales diagonally, and works against spot instances where you can (because sometimes more or less cores are cheaper). Dont even get me started on the nonsense of everyone and their ideas for "secrets management", it makes me miss LDAP.
Are they what? Actively hostile? Yes, they are.

Of course they can do whatever they want. But it makes everyone slowly hate them.
A lot of skepticism in the comments, including my own.

Instead, let me steelman this as having the goal of reducing litter, rather than reducing plastic. Viewed through that lens, this probably does have a beneficial impact. Even if the replacement bags take much more plastic to produce, are not recyclable, and are not reused much anyway - they are still less likely to blow around in the wind and accumulate on sidewalks, open spaces, rivers, oceans, etc.
Oh, I don’t want to claim that it‘s not repairable, I’m just saying that for now they only have procedures in place for the front glass.

Doesn’t mean they won’t establish procedures for other repairs in the future or find ways to reuse parts in refurbished (repair replacement) devices in the future.
It's not really about the claim being "true" or "untrue". It's about being clear from the outset, based on their obvious conflicts of interests, that this organization is only going to report on study outcomes that benefit their perspective, even if they are true. For example, given all the evidence I've seen on this topic, I believe all of the following are highly likely to be true:

1. Disposable plastic bag bans significantly reduce plastic bag litter and its effects on urban quality of life and the environment.

2. Most reusable plastics bags are only used once or few times before they are discarded.

3. Given #2, the amount of fossil fuels used to produce the reusable bags makes them a net negative in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

The basic problem with all discourse these days is that depending on your "side", you only talk about the items that benefit your viewpoint. American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance only talks about #2 and #3. At least the group referenced in the original article agrees that the current situation leads to more plastic being generated and should be corrected:

“Grocery stores, restaurants and retail shops should not be permitted to distribute plastic film bags of any thickness at checkout. Stores should be required to charge a fee of at least 10 cents for single-use paper bags. A 10-cent paper bag fee will limit the expected increase in paper bag use after a bag ban is imposed and may even reduce paper bag consumption altogether.”
I really liked this talk by Sandi Metz on being persuasive.

Why embezzle from one company when you can steal from lots of them?

This is an obvious and natural evolution of the kinds of attacks that have existed for years. It was bound to happen eventually. I think it's just sooner than people expected.
Batteries are already cheap. Take these rather conservative (in the sense of being worse for cheapness) numbers that NREL collected:

https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/85332.pdf

$482/kwh of battery capacity, installed to grid

15 year lifetime

85% round trip efficiency,

And it costs $88/MWh to store electricity, and adding in charging from the average $40/MW, that's $135/MWh all in for battery costs in 2022-2023. Today will be cheaper, tomorrow cheaper yet. Mix in direct wind production at a 40% capacity factor, annd stored electricity in lithium ion batteries, and wind can become fully dispatchable baseload for less than $90/MWh, at today's prices.

For comparison, the cost of Vogtle 3, the most recent nuclear power plant in the US, is $180/MWh.

Edit: and the main impediment to plentiful solar is policy & regulations that slow it down. The technology is being deployed at massive rates [1] in the US, 33GW in 2023 compared to 22GW in 2022, and ever accelerating. (Capacity factor adjusted, that's roughly 7GW compared to average US electrify draw of ~500GW, for a single year). But the US is way behind China, which installed 217GW in 2023 [2]

How do you "compile" the bookmarklets? I know of https://bookmarkl.ink/ but then we're back trusting some third-party service again. I get that it's not rocket science, but this is definitively a small hurdle to overcome.

I do some Amiga collecting, and I recently bought an Amiga 2000 that came with a ReadySoft A-Max, and even Mac networking hardware: https://amiga.resource.cx/exp/amax

This tells me there must have been decent interest in Mac emulation as early as 1989, when the A-Max released. And it didn't plug into the expansion slot, so it evidently would have worked fine on an A500.

The A2000 primarily focused on PC compatibility, though. Commodore shipped "bridgeboards", which were x86 CPU cards that plugged into the A2000's expansion slot. Not only did this let you run DOS in a window on your Amiga, but it could virtualize hard disks and printers, and you could even expand it using the A2000's built-in ISA slots for that very purpose. Pretty dang cool, and maybe a good value proposition for offices mainly running DOS but wanted something better for desktop publishing or anything graphics/video-related.
The only reason why native apps is : Control !

they really want keep you inside their ecosystem. so they can control you as much as they can.

* they want you to pay the apps submission fee.

* they want your user payment subs processed within the ecosystem

* they want easily track everything.

they keep doing this hyprocysy to the web eco. while they really know: almost the problem in native can be solve under the web browser stack.

You can't own the commons.

You don't get to spew air pollution from your property. Or constantly play loud music.

You shouldn't be allowed to force your eyesore on people either.
I know the standard response is "why another one?" but honestly, his diagnosis of the existing options is pretty good. He even uses the best examples of thoughtfully designed config languages: cue, dhall and nix, and ... yeah I pretty much agree with his qualms about those languages.

What is a config language really? It's a language that doesn't allow side effects and evaluates to json.
In 100 years we will look back onto Freudian Psychologie as we are looking back on Alchemy: a movement which was taken far to serious with scientific rigor.
Silicon Valley's next House member wants to rewrite key internet law

ObjC is not “a very difficult language to work with” by any means, and Xcode is fine - it’s not the absolute best IDE out there, but having tried several, it’s ok.

Honestly, having “enjoyed” decades of different systems, from the days of 8” floppies onwards, developers today are spoilt rotten, and still find things to complain about. Grumble, mumble, kids today, get off my lawn etc etc
That 80% option on iPhone 15, which Apple describes thuly:

> With iPhone 15 models, you can choose between Optimized Battery Charging, 80% Limit, and None.

> When you choose 80% Limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80 percent and then stop charging. If the battery charge level gets down to 75 percent, charging will resume until your battery charge level reaches about 80 percent again.

> With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.

is fairly easy to achieve on other iPhones and on iPads. Plug your charger into a smart plug that can be controlled from Apple Shortcuts. Shortcuts lets you make automations that trigger on battery level.

Make an automation that triggers on battery level goes about 80% that turns off the smart plug. Make another that triggers on battery level goes below 75% that turns on the smart plug.

I've been doing this for a while (just the 80% part) and it works great. It wasn't my idea. I saw someone here a few weeks ago mention it, and they got it from some blog.

I'm using TP-Link Tapo Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plugs [1]. I don't have a Matter hub so had to install the Tapo app to use them, but the Tapo app is controllable from Shortcuts.

I even get the "occasionally charge to 100% behavior", because sometimes Shortcuts seems to lose the ability to talk to the Tapo app. :-) Opening Tapo and turning something on or off seems to fix it.

If you don't want the "charge to 100%" behavior make a Shortcut to turn on the plug. When you are about to put the device on the charger use that shortcut to turn on the plug. It that works you know Shortcuts and Tapo are still working together.

If you buy smart plugs, I recommend getting ones with the same current and power rating as your outlets, which would be 15 A and 1875 W for a typical US home. There are smart plugs with much lower power limits meant just for lights. Those would be fine for a phone or tablet charger but then you've got remember that you can't use them for higher loads.

I started SICP last year but haven't gotten anywhere close to completing, mostly because of competing priorities.

Siddhartha is great book, I read it years back and it sparked my interest in other works of Herman Hesse.
None of the Stack Overflow answers mention Alan Kay, who created the angled mouse cursor at PARC. When asked about this¹, he responded:

"The Parc mouse cursor appearance was done (actually by me) because in a 16x16 grid of one-bit pixels (what the Alto at Parc used for a cursor) this gives you a nice arrowhead if you have one side of the arrow vertical and the other angled (along with other things there, I designed and made many of the initial bitmap fonts). Then it stuck, as so many things in computing do."

It's a classic joke / trope in methodology classes: Psychology describes the mind of second year undergrads. :-)

Web app developers which I also used to be once upon a time seem to some how miss always miss the point that making a web app and having them run on the desktop is not the same as having them run on a mobile device. The constraints for power consumption, memory usage and cpu time simply don’t apply on a desktop/laptop sized machine. It’s very easy to have a browser bee the biggest resource hog on a laptop if you have more than 5-6 tabs open with some big apps. Thats what these native mobile dev bashers seem to never get.
I'm a huge fan of James Clear's idea about goals and systems. I think it's very well put: https://jamesclear.com/goals-systems

But I think something's missing from it — the simple act of consistent self-reflection on what you're doing and why. Cultivating this habit is what I call a "metasystem." What do you think about this idea? Does it make sense? How could it be better?
It's newn to you. I don't really understand why the knowledge that someone, somewhere has something shinier and newer would make you unhappy.

I shouldn't complain, though. Early adopters are like investors who don't receive any equity. They pay for the R&D etc that people like me later get to benefit from.
I was thinking of the recent drone attack on a military base, where three soldiers were killed.
If you’re willing to put multiple MPPTs on a panel, then I imagine the benefits of higher efficiency multilayer panels are actually amplified a bit. You can spend a bit more on the panel, but you need fewer panels for the same capacity, and panels are getting cheap enough that the balance of the system (mounting, wires between panels, etc) are quite significant.

Who is the “we” that builds these tiny MPPTs? I’m curious.
Oh well. Freudian psychology hasn't been considered scientifically sound for decades now, so I guess you're right. Not sure if you were implying that modern psychology also sustains itself on Freudian theories; that would be so wrong.
The fact that we have several viable proposals for that, and that partial versions of them already work on practice.

While we have no idea at all of any interventions that only achieves the partial result you want.
Have you ever experienced feeling taken advantage of or struggling to ask for what you want at work? Do you often think you fail to get your opinions heard, or do people readily dismiss or undermine your views? I have been there, and it does not feel good.
I will leave this as a gallery of emails with offers to buy extension hoverzoom: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670

Sidenote: The "collaboration" offers come from time to time even to non-extensions projects, if they are reasonably widely used. E.g. simple tools (rather widely used suite of android apps recently sold).
Their "throw as many SKUs at the market and see what sticks" model is very typical. That is not uniquely Microsoft and is very common in broad supply enterprises.

The only thing that is unique about microsoft is being in the right place at the right time, making the right B2B licensing deals and entrenching for decades because of it. Operating systems, window managers, filesystems, graphics, SDKs, IDEs, it's all been done before (and after) at equal, better and worse quality levels.

Their broad catalog is somewhat unique in having more SKUs that don't work well together (or at all) vs. ones that do, but the same applies to IBM and Google for example. And the things that do work well together tend to be based on technologies that have little to do with the company itself (like WebDAV and Kerberos), and that's not unique to Microsoft either.

The sophistication is in their business and SKU broadness, not in making proper end-to-end vertically integrated user experiences that make people happy. (well, they have started to get there in the gaming market I suppose)

If you have an example where that is not the case, and there was a product choice that merited their offering, I would love to hear about it.

The web was originally a document sharing program for academics. JavaScript was never a "batteries included" language because the web wasn't built as an app platform.

It evolved into one, and the platform has improved for app development with things like modules, but it is still part of an ecosystem that expects the developer to bring the app framework. Custom Elements tried to solve this, but React came and solved the same problem in a more ergonomic way. So now, we're in the same place: apps are built with open source stacks like React where you have to bring your own toolkit because the browser doesn't make assumptions about which one you're using.

The web is a lot like Linux: it evolved as thousands of developers try thousands of different ways of doing things. Some of those things are great and become de facto standards, but it's an ecosystem you can't manage top-down.

If you've ever worked at Google, there's a famous internal deck about how decentralized ecosystems evolve like an amorphous slime mold. It's written in the context of Google product management, but it applies to things like Linux, and the web too.
I recommend to contact a lawyer [friend or family] because you should check many private details.

One question is if the code is yours. In intellectual property it is yours as an author but that does not mean your customer could not have rights depending on the written or tacit agreement.

If I were you I would be prepared for that conversation with a legal professional and not continue the discussion with your customer about this topic until things are crystal clear.

I also recomment to post in sites as https://law.stackexchange.com/ and Reddit.
You're talking about compartmentalisation which is still just a proposal (wasm component model). You can't use it yet.
We currently do that; we don't need to wait 100 years.

Anyone going through an undergrad psych program comes out the other side with the feeling you described. It's exactly like how people coming out of a csci program has an understanding that "they once programmed on punch cards and it was bad".
The solution then would be to have two radars a distance apart, so they can triangulate.
