As the sole maintainer of a popular open source NASA project (and contributor to several others), I can say that my open source work reflects very poorly on my work overall. We have a real problem in that there is a drive to open source thi

Sorry, but formatting is on you. If you don't like the comments, don't commit inconsistent code. Set up a local auto-formatter with the right rules. If enough of the existing code you're working on doesn't conform, set t

Batteries are a means of energy storage, not an energy source. If OP was talking about solar, yeah that needs to be compared against coal. Adding huge batteries to your home is an entirely new phenomenon. There is no comparison to be made.

If you live in rural America, Starlink is the only option for somewhat modern broadband internet. When I bought my house (not-even-that-rural Oregon), there was no landline internet available of any kind. I do have copper phone line, so I

Nothing in that section explains why this is in any way new or innovative. The only interesting claim is "performance", but looking at the code, I don't see anything other than a simple naive thread-pool implementation.
