The problem with renewables is the fluctuation. So you need something you can quickly spin up or down to compensate. Now you can do that with nuclear reactors to some extent - but they barely break even at current energy prices, and they keep having the same high cost while idle.

So a combination of grid storage and power plants with low cost when idle (like water) is the way to go now.

Shitty companies did it like that back then - and shitty companies still don't properly utilize what easy tools they have available for controlled deployment nowayads. So nothing really changed, just that the amount of people (and with that, amount of morons) skyrocketed.

I had automated builds out of CVS with deployment to staging, and option to deploy to production after tests over 15 years ago.

One thing I like about bluesky is that your identity doesn't have to be tied to an instance domain - you'd still have issues if you want to change is later, but if you plan ahead and use your domain you can just move it between instances.

Thanks to more and more languages supporting full unicode for symbols this will eventually be a thing of the past, fortunately: we can just switch to functions and variables being named only with one or more descriptive emojis.

Did they also finally fix google drive? Last time I needed something from a shared drive I needed to enable a third party cookie exemption for that.

What you’re referring to as family friendly I would say is more accurately described as social gaming or couch co-op. The physical aspect of multiplayer gaming on the Wii certainly added something unique to local multiplayer on the console, an experience wholly unlike a group of players sitting on a couch holding more traditional controllers.

Pretty much everybody copied it afterwards - Microsoft has Kinect, Sony has some support to use their camera for that. Switch controls can be detached for that kind of play - but there never was the high amount of well done movement games available on any other platform afterwards, and never again the good haptics of the wii remote.

We have the wii and on of our switches hooked up to the TV - in that mode we pretty much exclusively use the wii. I recently downloaded pretty much all remaining sports and dance games to get some more variety. For the switch the cool stuff is the mario cart with physical carts, and the Labo.

Being able to use the wii controllers and the balance board on the switch would've been a great thing.

How do you handle encryption? Best provided option with client side encryption I'm aware of still leaks filenames.

It's hard to tell from the outside - but at the beginning it mainly looked like pressure from the investors. I wouldn't be surprised if there'd been a lot of activity from them behind the scenes, and the "90% leaving" part wasn't really "standing up for Altman", but more "follow the money", with investors possibly pressuring employees in various ways.

On X11 much of the window management was considered a hint, but the application could just ignore it and do whatever it wanted.

On Wayland applications can't do stuff like self position - they can send some hints, but the compostior is in full control of what to do with them.

I use tiling window managers, and applications doing whatever has become more and more of an issue with ion3 over the last years - together with stuff changing the display resolution (they can't do that on wayland). Now with Hyprland on wayland pretty much all issues are gone.

Mostly NFC. Flipper standalone is more versatile than a proxmark3 I used to carry. Also seems the NFC reader is more reliable - you still can do more, and generally have better control via the proxmark when connected to a phone, but for just investigating the flipper is better. And as bonus supports a bunch of other stuff that might be interesting to look into.

There are ODBC drivers for Excel, so as long as they follow the style guide having the backends data on an Excel file on a network share should be fine.
