The best part about choosing a simple WM is you never have to think about it again. I installed and configured DWM many years ago and it just works. Never had a single issue after the first week.
It is like when you buy an appliance and it just fades into the background and then, one day, you realize you've had it for 10 years without any problems and you feel a tinge of gratitude before moving on with your day.
Same story here. After installing dwm years ago, I've more or less stopped thinking about window managers as an open problem to be solved. I suppose one could run into trouble if they started patching it a lot, but in my experience you don't need to do that.
This article fails to mention that a lot of current commercial scale battery co-locations' purpose is to capitalize on rare but highly profitable periods where demand spikes and spot prices go up by, sometimes, multiple orders of magnitude.
The idea is to store the power until these events. A lot of money is made from these.
As someone who has used Firefox since 1.0 (~20 years ago), I fully support returning Mozilla's sole focus to its users. Huge amounts of 'free' money has a tendency to de-focus organizations.
I use and love Firefox, but Mozilla screwed up badly in their funding model and now it's to late to fix it.
Mozilla should have take a large chunk of their yearly income and put it in an endowment, as Wikipedia does. Yes, yes I know Wikipedia bad, rich bastards begging for money, but they have a point. You can't expect money donations and income levels to remain stable forever, you need to plan for the future. Mozilla could easily have had a billion dollars in the bank and if invested semi-wisely that could have generated a steady continual income for decades to come.
Mozilla apparently made no good long term plan for how they'd deal with search engines cutting their funding. They tried becoming a services company, but they are not a company (I mean they are on paper, but they are an open source project more than anything).
You're right money was plentiful and without people to sensibly guide them they lost focus.
Mozilla has been trying to come up with a profitable business model for years. VPNs, privacy masking services, their own mobile OS, feed readers, you name it. Nobody is interested, new attempts at making money turn into cost centers, and the next attempt is burdened by the early shutdown of previous attempts.
Every time they try something, the open source crowd cries out in pain because money isn't going towards their three preferred bugs instead, and the mainstream doesn't care about anything Mozilla does.
They have made stupid decisions to be sure, and the money squandered at the top is definitely infuriating, but no amount of incentives or donations is going to replace the money Google is handing Mozilla to get out of the antitrust laws.
With the reduced funding, Mozilla can fire the overpaid/underperforming executives; and re-hire the tech-focused people who were actually developing the browser.
This will lead to a game of 'homeless hot potato' among neighborhoods in larger cities as each pass ordinances that ban various 'homeless activities' in their borders.
ERCOT has way more wind capability (both absolute capacity and percentage) than CAISO. CAISO has more solar as a percentage of capacity, but even then the absolute capacities for solar between CAISO and ERCOT are actually quite similar.
For example, on April 22 at local noon, CAISO was generating 72% of its total capacity from solar with 18GW. ERCOT was generating 63% from solar+wind roughly split 50/50. Solar was at 30% at 13GW.
You're right that ERCOT uses a lot of natural gas (and infact today, April 28th looks to be anomalously high), but it definitely has very very meaningful amounts of renewable generation.
I had the opportunity to hear a guest lecture of his in Colorado a little over 15 years ago which inspired my further study of philosophy at the time. He had a keen mind and will be missed.
I've got a couple that are intended to be GPL, but you wouldn't know unless you go to the GitHub issues to find the issue I raised about the licence file not being in the repo. They are included.
Seems weird to be writing about croissants here but the Costco croissants are no where near the quality of a croissant made by a skilled baker, to the degree it is hard to call them a croissant in anything but form. The ingredients, flavor, flakiness, number of layers, etc. are all inferior when compared to what is possible from an artisan. I've bought the Costco croissants a few times in the past to make sandwiches out of as that's about all they are good for.
