They lower the prices a lot when they are producing at full tilt. This means that prices, at least to some degree, go up when wind turbines are not producing at full capacity, since the other power sources need to amortize their fixed costs

Measurements of actual implementations make for fruitful, constructive discussion. Doesn't need to be perfect to be useful and interesting. Hope to see it on the front page!

If you ever write a blog post about these things, I'd love to see some measurements! :-)

Many mentions of things being too slow and other things being high performance. I'm not doubting the truthfulness, but it would have been really nice to see some hard numbers that show the magnitude of improvement in a scenario or two.

NIS/YP on its own were amazing though! So simple to setup and did exactly everything you could ever need in a small to medium-sized network. Everything that was supposed to replace it is so much worse, except for supposedly not being v

SorgeForge started injecting adware into binaries distributed via their platform. They had been on a downward trajectory for a while, but after they started doing that they fell of a cliff. I worked for a company that used the on-prem vers

There has been plenty of local news about minor fires caused by EV charging in recent years. Usually neither the house nor the car burn to the ground, so won't make national news. Typical cause seems to be old, worn-out installations o

I see on that map, that on my last visit to Oslo I could have parked 20m from my hotel entrance for €10 over night, instead of parking in the garage 50m further away for €120. Didn't really need to charge, so just went for a normal spo

My understanding of that type of "hävd", is that you need to have an official but incorrect deed of some sort, that remains uncontested by a true owner for 10 or 20 years. Simply making uncontested use of the land is not enough. I

It would be a weird kind of bad situation, if literally thousands of juniors with little to no experience/understanding of programming simultaneously start learn-as-you-go contributing C++ code for Ladybird. In the perhaps more plausib

If you look at it that way, nobody is good at anything. True perhaps but not a very useful stance. Millions of people have built meaningful software with C++ over the past several decades. It is everywhere and it mostly works OK. Of course,

So how many hours is the walking waiter working in a day, and how many hours is the standing waiter working? If anything it seems to me that it would be more logical to tip the person doing the more boring and repetitive work. (My personal

Why does sitting down cause you to tip? Why would employees in front of a counter be more deserving than employees behind a counter? Or perhaps I should put it like: Why would a business need to pay a predictable market rate salary for empl

I had to go back and check regarding "Urminnes hävd" (ancient custom). The creation of new instances of this for property rights was blocked back in 1970. You can still use it, but then you must prove that the property right was a

The official map of your property will not be exactly the same as the one on Lantmäteriet.se. In more densely populated areas, there will be a local coordinate system, where each property is defined in terms of the neighbouring ones. This a

When I picked my Model Y the main competition was Kia EV6 and VW ID7. The monthly lease+insurance was $600 for Tesla, $850 for Kia and $1000 for VW. To get down to Model Y-level costs, I would have had to settle for a barebones ID4 or an MG

There must be some connection between traction control and regen braking in newer Teslas, because I didn't really have any problems with it during the past winter. A friend working in auto industry was involved with doing competitor an

I want to glide at roughly constant speed for some distance. Some mild breaking is fine. I cant glide if I let off the accelerator, then I come to a fairly firm stop. I want my right foot on the break pedal, ready to brake hard and fast

I have learned my lesson on regen. Lots of people online (and offline, for that matter) told me that you'll get used to the Tesla behaviour in no time and not to worry about it feeling weird during the test drive. Many thousands kilome

Tesla seems to be doing pretty OK on the manufacturing side. These days quality of the physical product is decent enough and the price of their different models are highly competitive in their respective segments. The flaws in Teslas cars a

Tesla is a quite common EV brand. They do not allow configuring regen braking, except for the behaviour at stand-still. (They also don't do blending between friction brakes and regen, so the cars behaviour when letting of the accelerat

Expensive cars usually have more power than cheap cars. You can enter a highway, safely overtake someone or climb a steep incline in a larger selection of gears. Also, fancy cars tend to have better automatic gearboxes that behave well in m

You won't lose your wheels going at the posted limit, if it is a 30kmh road. For comfort you probably do want to reduce down to 15-20 in an average car. If you encounter a warning sign for speedbumps on a 50kmh or 70kmh road you better

Not in any parts of northern Europe where I drive. You are usually (exceptions exist) supposed to reduce speed very much below posted speed limit before passing the bump. For example, posted speed is 50kmh but speed bump is designed to be c
