One part not considered is the grid connections - esp across time zones or geographies.

Some examples:

The SunCable link between Australia and Singapore https://www.suncable.energy/our-projects

The Viking Link from Demark to the UK https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/01/16/uk-and-denmark-...


It's not necessarily a lot of sites that block non-popular bots - but often it's big sites (i.e. content-centric sites such as Social Media). Think Yelp, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.

That can add up to a serious percentage of the web.


If it makes you feel any better, I started my career in the '90s and the same vibes were around then. Back then it was all RAD (Rapid Application Development) tools were going to replace everything. After that is was outsourcing. After that it was something else again.


Seems you're describing something a bit different? In this case, this energy is used to run a cycle defrost on the evaporator rather than run the heat pump.


Not necessarily mandatory - but I'd also recommend a stable sort on the keys prior to `stringify`.


I’m going to jump to the conclusion that being opinionated is somehow negative socially for you? Or do you have another motivation?

If that the case I’d suggest - Keep the opinions - but add in curiosity.


All comes down to good naming in the end. The craft is finding both compact and specific names.

I think the mantra for all names to be short can be counterproductive here. If the code span of a variable is short, a long name can be fine (and very clarifying, perhaps even resulting in a comment not being needed).

Shorter names for longer spans are much better. But you’d hope they’re the very obvious subject of that span.


Well yes, but "embedded" is a pretty broad category.

Some major cases are:

- High-volume and cost-driven: where a you're picking the cheapest MCU you can make work (often by a matter of cents).You want to squeeze every last bit of performance (or IO, or power consumption, or pinout, or whatever the drivers are).

- Real-time: where abstracting the hardware beyond a certain point is counter-productive.

In my experience it's much less common that you don't care about the hardware than the reverse.


I'd also add: ultra low power consumption. If you really want to use as little power as possible to do a specific task


Despite some important criticism, I think this article misses an important factor.

The benefit with the MBTI is showing employees that people think differently from them.

Yes, we all know that, but we still need prompting and practice on it.

It's best as an exercise to highlight "I need to consider this person's perspective and take that into account". Flexing that muscle is incredibly useful, even if it's a somewhat arbitrary exercise in itself.

However, I think approaches such as "User Manuals" do that better.


Yes, awareness that differences amongst us exist matters, especially when coupled in the right way can make things flow smoother, better teams and such - especially when we don’t ensemble organically but by chance of where we land. Even if MBTI is not science, just dwelling a bit on the different types of personalities or modes of functioning helps in appreciating most if not all team members. For a while I was not advertising my introversion, I was perhaps trying to mask it (which is taxing to be honest) changed over time , especially when more conversation about it ensued in part due to MBTI. It may be junk science but helps start up needed conversations about our differences.


Very likely this is RAM-related. The M1s cope very well (particularly with memory compression).

However, get a set of electron-based apps in there (Notion and Slack from your list)... and seems to struggle.
