Idk why anyone who's "anti establishment" wants to rail against the gov or any reg body looking into... banks doing sketchy things with taxpayer money that should... improve the environment and tax payer's lives.

What on earth happened to ppl on HN?

This is a private bank hoarding government (tax payer) dollars for seemingly no reason. The money sure as heck wasn't being used for "climate action". As an environmentalist and just someone who thinks the gov shouldn't be offshoring billions of dollars I fully support gov orgs looking into this...

It's easy to let politics color the perception of this but I for one although I dislike the current president support this effort.

Is there any actual benefit from the model being implemented in Zig?

Can't wait to buy one of these for my homelab! I've been waiting for someone to basically make an eco-flow that's meant to be on constantly and has decent cooling that's quiet and intended to run continuously!

Insanely cool!

My opinion here is that the biggest liability for landlords is someone mounting panels on the outside of a balcony (since obviously they cant be mounted behind bars) improperly. With the risk of them falling normally or during wind / storms.

I've done this at past apts all the time, granted with an eco-flow battery not just plugging directly into my outlets haha.

Many times they actually have restrictions / rules for recruiters that they can't re-contact or re-ingest prior applicants even if its for a role in a different department (like eng -> product).

I'd say if they ghost you and they aren't a massive company they probably aren't professional enough to really pursue further and likely would just be a bad place to work in general.

I honestly take more offense to rejection letters that claim "we'd love to stay in touch!" or something with similar ingenue bubbly language.

Curious if anyone has attempted this in an open source context? Would be incredibly interested to see an example in the wild that can point back to pages of a PDF etc!

This is one attribute of Platform IO tooling that was always insanely lacking... any real form of on-platform integration testing. Even emulation.

I love all things analog other than my macbook.

Smart things drive me completely insane and I find peace with things that just work without a wifi connection or firmware of any kind.

Wonder how it does with table data in pdfs / page-long tabular data?

Thanks! This is what I hoped you'd say - wish I had this six months ago when I was building re-produceable tooling for our factory in china to flash embedded devices with firmware.

This is great, but the page still seems to struggle to explain why this is different from nix / why I should use it in the first place?

very fraction of a percent counts... small things add up quickly...

Idk why this is a political issue? As a progressive I also support firing people who aren't producing effective outcomes for veterans. With all we save that money SHOULD be used to actually help veterans.

But I should stop using my wood-stove because I'm "part of the problem" when Taylor Swift and John Kerry are flying private jets on a weekly basis... right.

Climate is an issue but this is why it's hilarious that I'm supposed to change my life to help "fix" this.
