It’s possible my interpretation wasn’t correct and the author was citing Kernel’s approach as sanity. That would make sense technically.

My i9 2019 MBP with discrete graphics was probably the worst laptop purchase I ever made. Docking it to an external monitor would enable the GPU, so even when idling it would run the fans and drain the battery.

I’d read cautionary tales about Windows laptops being pulled out of backpacks scorching hot as they failed to shut down. But that happened to my Mac all the time, too.

The M series though is incredible. I can’t imagine buying a Windows laptop now.

I don't see politics, I see frustrated maintainers of a hobby project that aren't particularly professional.

Folks generally tolerate issues if they believe they’ll get better with time. I know I did for a while. If that confidence collapses, that’s not politics.

There are reasons it might not work, not least of all political. But a link to a paper picking a bone with LCoE is talking past GP.

I don't believe the car was specifically in a bike lane at this time but I'm new to the city and may have missed the markings.

If you simulate using mock CPU instructions like memfence or LL/CS there's no guarantee your model fits your ultimately executed program.

Unless of course, you do something like antithesis and directly test what compiled. It's an interesting alternative world.

I've taken the liberty of adding you to LinkedIn - would love to grab a drink next time you're in the SF Bay area.

The updates thing is a shame. You can store multiple configuration files for balance patches, but executable code is much harder.

I was in the audience when DOTS was announced, and a decade later Cities Skylines II showed how ill equipped for prime time it remains (not that the developers were blameless).

The way Bevy's internal state is so easily saved and loaded is convenient for this.

As far as file sizes go, I'd be really interested in how a Rust compiler that didn't monomorphize so much would perform. Right now you have to modify the source code to write polymorphic generic functions, but it doesn't strictly have to be that way (at least as far as I can see).

I wouldn't use Bevy for a web only game either, especially while it's still single threaded on WASM.

Quite the dedication to a free resource!

1 TWh on the scale of a country is very little - a 1 GW nuclear plant operating continuously would generate over 8 TWh a year.

Nevertheless the back of the napkin math of land requirements for solar check out, so it was probably just a typo and OP meant to say PWh.

Their electricity data explorer is to my knowledge the most complete on the open internet.
