I have a similar Growatt from siganture solar. I'm pretty sure they're made by the same manufacturer as EG4. The cheaper one can do it, in a solar > utility > battery priority mode.

But depending on your solar panel and consistent power draw, I'd maybe use the solar > battery > utility mode. It'll let you set a point to switch from battery to utility, the highest at 95%. That way when your usage is below your solar generation, you can still use the solar to charge the battery.

A bit more wear and tear on the battery, but even less solar wasted. Assuming you can handle the batteries only being at 95% if you have an outage. If your usage is less than your solar generation, could even set it lower.

I've been looking at something similar but different. My grid is fine, but I want to be able to use the batteries based on my time-of-use plan prices. I have less solar panels, but would want to charge my battery using grid power when prices are lower.
Or you can try gum/candy containing xylitol.

excerpts from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4232036/:

The recommended dose for dental caries prevention is 6–10 g/d....

Xylitol reduces the levels of mutans streptococci (MS) in plaque and saliva by disrupting their energy production processes, leading to futile energy cycle and cell death. It reduces the adhesion of these microorganisms to the teeth surface and also reduces their acid production potential.

...Thus, xylitol inhibits S. mutans growth essentially by starving the bacteria. Xylitol can inhibit the growth of harmful oral bacteria such as S. mutans, but its benefits do not stop in the oral cavity. Xylitol alcohol has been shown to impact growth of nasopharyngeal bacteria such as S. pneumonia and S. mitis, and hence has a role to play in nasopharyngeal pneumonia.

Xylitol decreases the incidence of dental caries by increasing salivary flow and pH and reducing the number of cariogenic (MS) and periodontopathic (Helicobacter pylori) bacteria, plaque levels, xerostomia, gingival inflammation, and erosion of teeth.

The predominant modality for xylitol delivery has been chewing gum. Chewing gum accelerates the processes of rinsing away acid and uptake of beneficial calcium phosphate molecules to remineralize tooth enamel. The recommended length of time for chewing after eating is approximately 20 minutes.

Consumption of xylitol chewing gum for ≥3 weeks leads to both long-term and short-term reduction in salivary and plaque S. mutans levels. A decrease in caries incidence has been reported among children exposed to the daily use of xylitol for 12–40 months. The long-term benefits have been observed up to 5 years after cessation of xylitol use. A prospective controlled, double-blind clinical trial confirmed that MS levels in plaque decreased as exposure to xylitol increased. However, a plateau effect was observed between 6.88 g/d and 10.32 g/d. The caries preventive effect was observed to be long term in relation to the teeth erupting during the period of xylitol use.
Your rather carefully worked comment is being downvoted already. I agree with you, but I think that here, plenty of people have the dream of early retirement.

Don't get me wrong, I like that dream too. I just have my thoughts about the current housing market, which to me has aspects of an investment market.
> If all kinds of straws would disappear overnight, people's quality of life would not be affected the slightest

For example, take the boba straws mentioned in the article. The experience of sucking up the tapioca balls as you consume the drink depends on the wide straw.

Remove the straw, and the experience is totally different; you would get hardly any tapioca balls until you were all the way to the bottom of the drink.

Now, maybe you don't give a shit about that, but then it's just a value judgment.

Maybe but it makes much less sense to me. The meaning of “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” is very different to “the love of money is the root of all evil”. The former seems like a reasonable claim. The latter is surely untrue? I know of lots of evil acts NOT motivated by money or the love of money.
"Devops," or system and infrastructure administration, should have the primary goal of creating reproducible steps to create, maintain, and diagnose servers and other assets. Part of reaching that goal is creating scripts, tools, and documentation that other system admins can quickly figure out and use. Imagine if the "DevOps" person gets run over by a truck.

You don't choose a language you fell in love with or want to learn and wedge it into the problem because you want to. Even if you can use Clojure that doesn't make it a good idea. It has too many dependencies, isn't available out of the box on typical servers, and imposes a severe limit on the people who could take over system/infra admin.
And skeptical they should be. Overestimating benefits, whether it's for a tool or something like a re- architecture, is right up there with underestimating effort, probably highly related...

Doesn't mean there aren't worthwhile tools, because there are, but they're few and fast between.
My own stance as a lead is that it costs more than 50€ just discussing the thing, so we might as well just buy it.
LINQPad's model is similar but it didn't stop my last company refusing to allow me to use my personal copy due to "licensing". Some companies (read: managers) just can't be f'd reading a brief web page and applying 10 seconds of thought even if it means there's a chance a developer might be more productive, or god forbid, happier.
Wait until you get to management. I have meetings about who to get to have meetings on how to create templates to create Jira tickets.

Lucid Inc. used the word internally at least since 1987, mentioning a treeshaker for Lucid CL 3.0 on the VAX.

From above: "In contrast, tree shaking uses the approach of eliminating --shaking out-- what is not needed in a static fashion. Programmers specify the requirements of their application and the unneeded parts of the Lisp system are removed using their detailed knowledge of the application. The disadvantages of tree shaking are that it requires programmer intervention and that a function which is shaken out cannot be easily restored."

"Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big", Gabriel, (not sure from when this version is, the original article is from 1989) https://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/LispGoodNewsBadNews.pdf

From Gabriel's essay:

> "1.6.3 The Treeshaker

> Most Lisp development systems, including Lucid’s, provide all the resources of the Lisp system by default, and this in turn leads to a style of development in which the programmer makes use of whatever tool happens to be most convenient. Because much of the basic Lisp system (or any development system built on top of the basic Lisp system) will generally be unused by a given application, it is very worthwhile to have a tool for excising these unused parts. This tool is called the Treeshaker.

> Treeshaker execution occurs in three phases: walking, testing and writing. In the walking phase, the Treeshaker accumulates a set of objects that need to be included in the saved image. After making this set, the treeshaker runs a test of the application to check that all objects which are used in a typical run have been included. The writing phase then generates an executable image which will run the application.

> To a first approximation, the walk phase is just a matter of computing the connected component of the Lisp image (treated as a directed graph in the obvious way) generated by the application’s toplevel function. However, because of the way that Lisp objects are generally connected this usually includes almost the entire Lisp image including the unused subsystems. Therefore the treeshaker uses several techniques to find connections between objects that do not actually need to be followed in the walk."

> "The name Treeshaker is meant to be evocative of the idea of actually shaking a tree to dislodge dead branches or other trash."

On the more funny side, LispWorks has a keyword to the DELIVER function :shake-shake-shake , which invokes the treeshaker during application delivery.

Indeed, this is a vexing problem.

Role models influence so much of peoples' behavior, that I fear they are needed to change what is considered success. But the people suited to be role models rarely want to be.

I don't know the answer, but hope some of these kinds of people would allow themselves to be (reluctantly) also celebrated.
There is nothing wrong with drawing on the values that a text carries without necessarily agreeing with it in its entirety. This quote captures the point of the post above quite well.
Pretty much. Companies won't approve buying an individual book, but they will approve a subscription to a learning platform.

It's too much work to approve all these random purchases, but if you don't review them, you end up paying for a bunch of unused subscriptions all over the place as well as people buying a ton of stuff that doesn't really benefit the company that much.
The conclusion is correct however the premises are not correct.

1000 devs buying individually on average tools for 100 USD/month doesn’t make sense in any organization. Controllers will have their say and architecture or CTO should have their say, too. Tool usage corresponds with IT strategy.

Procurement tends to count in large numbers. That’s why a business unit usually decides.

It is up to the devs to raise the Business Case.

IT departments are usually considered Loss Centers. That’s why there is another road block, but not against productivity per se.
Can you give some examples of your work? This sounds very interesting.

(Especially the multi-dimensional aspect, as I sometimes hang out with people who solve higher-dimensional Rubik's cubes and other similar puzzles!)
Yeah, but why is the same situation present, and the same explanation given, in Poland, EU? Or, seeing from other comments, plenty other countries around the world?

I'm seconding 'viraptor here - this isn't a good enough explanation. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and doesn't mesh well with day-to-day experience. Individual doctors I know seem to have very little influence over anything, and they're first in line to the protests about working conditions and pay.
There seems to be an innate characteristic of technology that if you solve a problem using it, two more problems spring out. Not sure why that is but it seems life has become ever more complex and yet at the same time its not getting better

> for instance, concern that affirmative action discriminates against Asians in spite of the well-known data that shows everyone is far more disadvantaged by legacy and wealth.

First, affirmative action is morally wrong. We shouldn’t inflict the concept of race on the next generation. Second, you can get rid of both affirmative action and legacy admissions.

Third, the math on that idea just doesn’t work. Eliminating affirmative action tends to almost double the percentage of Asians from 20% closer to 40%. There’s no way eliminating legacy admissions would have a similar effect. It’s simply not possible under any system of race balancing to make Asians better off than they would be in a race-blind system. More generally, when you’re a minority group that’s 6% of the population but accounts for 20% of the seats at Harvard and 40% of Silicon Valley, “equity” is simply contrary to your self interest.
I imagine a lot of humans will be left to die, simply because they are no longer needed. See: those with insecure housing.

We might invent jobs for each other, but the earning potential of them will not be very high if the labour can be readily done by a machine.

Those who can live with their parents or have joint ownership with packs of friends could probably surf by paying the mortgage on gig work.

Of course, if housing suddenly becomes plentiful and cheap, renters might enjoy this gig economy too.
aaaah fuck I was hoping it was just where I work that this was the loop.
That wasn't name calling. "You are stupid" is name calling, "your statement was incoherent" is to point out that the speaker failed to get his point across and needs to try again. Christians have a saying "hate the sinner, not the saint", and the basic philosophy of that applies here. We must separate one from the other, something you did not do here when you accused me of name calling.

...and get terrible solutions which the people on the golf course don't care about since they don't use them - or if they do they only use the reporting part of the feature set - so that's got to be great but the rest can be shit.
Yeah, this is one of those things that while it may be more technically correct causes a lot of unnecessary confusion. I remember being confused by this as a C++ programmer learning Java when resources claimed that Java was always pass by value where the actual behaviour in almost all cases (due to Java going almost all-in on objects) is what a C++ programmer would expect from pass by reference.

I still see even relatively experienced programmers who don't understand this, particularly working with Unity where a lot of programmers came from C++ to C# and don't realise for example that a C# function that takes a List 'by value' and modifies it is actually modifying the same instance that was passed in by the caller.
The problem with envisaging how current technological trends will shape society in the future is that we try to work it out rationally, when people mostly take what they're given without thinking about it too much. The ability to listen to and watch recorded artistic performances - music, plays - ought to have decreased the value of live performances, but tickets to those performances are now more expensive than ever.

The comment on AI parenting isn't as revolutionary as it sounds: wealthy people raising their own children (rather than employing a dedicated nanny) is a 20th-century innovation, at least in the West. But I think people will feel unsettled about their children being raised by robots, regardless of the quality of the tech - Norlands College has little to worry about, I think.

But the central issue of this article is the issue I have with Universal Basic Income. If a person's labour is worthless, then the State has to provide some sort of income for them by taxing the business for which they would otherwise have worked. If this becomes ubiquitous throughout the economy, then the State becomes a dominating force in the economy, and the principles of the market economy start to break down. The idea that nothing can be produced without labour is a fundamental assumption to all economic models, and without it, we're in very dangerous territory.
Go seems like a really great balance between speed, ease of code and safety.

I keep trying to get into it, but I keep bumping into half finished/abandoned libraries for basically anything I try to do.

Tried to use it for machine learning: couldn't find a parquet library that supported compression and after going around that couldn't find any good lib for Dataframes and even after that, couldn't find anything good enough for gradient boosting.

Tried to use it to manage some GPG encrypted utils I use for work and create a TUI. Well, the GPG lib was outdated and wouldn't do what was needed.

I'm eventually going to try a go at go (pun intended) again, but I'll be more weary this time arround.

Article seems in bad faith at best, light airy prose by anonymous Mr Cloudman.

At this point I don't see the cause of eCO2 as relevant - although the source seems clear-cut. The fact it is rising so fast means it will directly harm human health within 30 years (if it is not already occurring) is reason to act.

With human blood ph changes, slowed cognition, reduced durability of concrete, falling food-plant nutrition, and increasing plant flammability as just a few examples. Most of these already happening. It was only 'fertiliser' when it was <280ppm. Why would we not act? Links available.
This article has the typical fallacy of any post-scarcity writing: ownership. It assumes that we reach a point where the cost of producing goods becomes close to zero and we happily share it all.

Interesting premise for some philosophical musings, but terribly unrealistic. In fact, I think the first assumption is easier to achieve than the second.

> Rights aren't achieved by consensus.

In the best case they are. The alternative is that rights are achieved by benevolent dictators, and that leads to bad places fast when the dictator is replaced.

> There is no democratic vote on the laws of Nature and what derives from it.

Eh, ok? What does "what derives from it" mean here?

> Society is not a creature of Nature and thus does not exist.

Well that was just not true. Society exists in reality. That's like saying thoughts do not exist because there are only single neurons. Or seas do not exist, there are only single H2O molecules.

> Only the living have rights.

There we agree at least. Although I should say not "have" but "should have". We should have rights. In many parts of the world though the collective consensus is that they should not, like in Taliban Afghanistan.
