2G of ram at build is not that outrageous, however yes, with composer2 (released like 7 years ago?) it uses less ram. Also the frameworks got less bloated and more modular

They receive less solar radiation, but still some. They both have great conditions for offshore wind.

Also all for nuclear, but decentralized renewables are great.

(Maybe it’s because tea is better than coffee?)

Coffee contains several ingredients that act as opioid receptor antagonists, which can be unpleasant (as in "reverse the pleasant / calming effects of endogenic opioids"). Some people seem to be more affected than others, kinda like with the intensive gastrin release / coffee induced instapoop.

A better way for suboptimal workflow to begin with („multitasking” on branches)?

Small production batches are absolutely required for high quality (see Toyota, TQM)

I got to top 10% of Trackmania players (extremely competitive) just by watching Wirtual’s streams. Couple of advices (and learning to implement them) were worth more than hours of (bad) grinding.

And he is „only” in like 99,9th percentile in time trials, not even competing in top tournaments.

The tradeoff seems to be „ability to deploy working software without reliance on single central authority”. You may get rid of several smaller bottlenecks this way, introducing an enormous, all-encompassing one. Or am I wrong?

Thank you for verbalising the issue, overconfidence was the risk I was seeing all along. Widely accepted, shamelessly overconfident, bus still potentially gibberish generator.

Do you use it through an app, or web browser? I had the same situation. Always from safari on iOS.

I also got locked out because of „suspicious activity” (browsing fb through mobile browser on ios). Twice.

The first time around I got unbanned after several days, sending them my selfie etc.

The second time is now. They require phone number to send me a code, so I can „ask them to reconsider”. But I don’t receive the code. After several tries the page says „too many requests, wait 24h”.

I obviously have 2FA using authenticator. Got no other email than „you got 30 days to take action”.

The only reason I’m even trying is messenger and a few sad groups that are funny from time to time. Meh.

Ha! Classic Theory of Constraints: most constraints come from rules that used to accomodate for some limitations. Most of those limitations are long gone, but we’ve come to not question the rules; we mistake them with reality.

Well, it looks worse than I thought: https://insideevs.com/news/452464/tesla-model-y-heat-pump-sy...

With home air-to-air heat pumps I took COP of 2-3 as a base for heating, it seems that COP=1 is a big deal in a car.

Luckily the engines still generate plenty of heat and EVs use modern heat pumps.

I use it with Working Copy git client, nice and properly nerdy setup. There are nice ready-made guides for this combo.

Re-read „It’s Not Luck” by Elijahu Goldratt; maybe it’s not „epiphany”, but very good instruction on tackling seemingly „impossible” projects.
