Fair enough. It could be that good. Is this use for commercial purposes? Do you have to interface with legacy systems or unusual stacks?

I think this is much of the problem. The complexities are hidden behind the abstraction, and I'd wager (naively) that most NixOS users at some point need to use an escape hatch. It makes sense that that complexity extends all the way

They are imperative steps with aspirational idempotency, and specifically Ansible is painfully slow to boot. I've noticed that order often becomes necessary in practice, so I'm not sure if this imperative nature is avoidable.

Surely that's Twitter. Social media is already at saturation point, has established competitors, and Elon has managed to run it into the ground in terms of revenue and engagement. At least with The Boring Company, there's still

Elon is 'successful' when he marshals resources to opening up new wealth markets (e.g., space, electric vehicles), but leaves those resources alone enough to actually get the job done. SpaceX is full of brilliant minds well attune

The big picture which everyone is missing is that we need 'peaking' gas plants to cover the shortfalls over the next 10-20 years until grid storage catches up. There's no commercial incentive for these to be built, so they&#

It's a matter of necessity. Until grid storage catches up shortfalls in renewable output need to be mitigated somehow. The other option is to just keep all the gas and coal baseload and switch off the renewables, which would be much

Sodium-ion battery packs are starting to enter the market, and are already quite cheap. I think within a couple of years the economics will be difficult to resist.
228.
by h0l0cube 2y ago
Correct. It will take around 10-20 years for this happen at current scaling of grid storage. In the meantime it doesn't make sense to scale up new gas, coal, or nuclear, as they won't have a decent ROI over their lifespan.

Species purposely introduced by humans would be considered artificial not 'natural' selection. If the cats swam over to the island of their own volition as a survival strategy though, that would blow my mind.
