Thanks for the link. It is heartening to see utility-scale storage for a reasonable cost being developed. 20 years ago, there were a couple companies working on flywheel energy storage for mobile applications. They were using carbon-fiber

I do something sort of similar, also using git to maintain the inventory of what to run on what machine. In my case, I'm using docker-compose.yml files for each machine, and then running: docker-compose pull docker-compose up -d

I expect that running alternate OSs on an ARM Mac to be about as easy as they are on an iOS device. Which is to say... not easy. Apple has been working to close holes in the secure boot for many years. The question of course is... why bot

That's what initially drew me to Haskell, and how it seemed closer to math than most other programming languages. Lazy evaluation brings this to the fore, especially with needing the programmer to make decisions about the sequencing of
