Re: the slight wobble, you should be able to find some inexpensive thin-sheet backing board at a hardware store. Use small ribbed tacking nails or glue around the edges to attach it at the back, and it should help stabilize and prevent rack

Um a lot of US zip codes map to multiple cities. Some even to multiple states. If you build a picker for city/state this works fine but your premise is easily refuted if you look at the data! Zip codes map to postal routes, not polygon

For anyone reading this later, I got my data export and deleted my account and got a pro-rated refund. So double whammy!

I had kept my Plus subscription just because I was lazy, and it was inexpensive and convenient… but this turn definitely helped me get off the fence. I am exporting and deleting my data now, and the cancellation is already done.

I feel like excluding French toast is a serious faux pas here! Breakfast burritos are also at least as important as quiche (as in, neither are as tasty without addins - just like omelettes).

FYI this is not true in the US. Zip codes identify postal routes not locations

I’m building an ETL tool that “just works” and gets out of the way. I can write shell scripts and python to do this stuff but honestly I just want to drop my files/API results into a GUI tool and have it combine things for me. Landing

Yes I was very excited to see the new json encoding changes land, can’t wait to try them out! The new omitempty and map key marshalling in particular will help clean up some of my ugly code.

Probably gets pretty costly if you’re running a lot of data through it. Now if you could implement a Tailscale DERP server in a lambda that would be pretty amazing: https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers

Given the redundancy of multiple locations, I think even cutting power it would be difficult to cause an extended outage.

I have a variety of Shelly 1 devices in my house, one of which is on the oldschool Garage Door opener (with a reed switch for open/close tracking) - Very inexpensive, flexible for other applications, and works with HA etc. https:&#x2F

Would be trivial to show the results live though, especially for atomic values: https://go.dev/play/p/PRzzO_skWoJ

Isn't it even simpler in Go? No channels necessary, Each goroutine gets an index or slice, and writes the results to a shared array. All you need is the goroutines to report when done via a WaitGroup.

Re: the grid connection backlog - much of the challenge of turning on new generation is simulating the increasingly complex ways the grid can fail due to all the interconnections. It’s a huge computational challenge and there’s really not m

How granular are the durations? If days for example you could bucket into N-week intervals (eg intervals with 7N consecutive days) to reduce the search scope. Then you only need to store start times, and can join or use a set to combine oth

That's their math, the 23.8t/s is already the 64x but they didn't 64x the other stats.

by pbnjay 2y ago
Yeah... They are using a single-core 13W measurement to project out. For a 64x parallelization - no mention of any overhead due to parallelization or power needs of the supporting hardware. This is a key quote for me (page 12 of the PDF): &

I mean shared hosting certainly existed but "the cloud" as we think of it today was much simpler and not nearly as ubiquitous. It doesn't really change the principles themselves but it certainly affects aspects of the risk ca

My power is resold by the city so they don’t break it out, but a nearby county is 4.55c per kWh distribution charge and 5.96c per kWh generation charge.

As someone living in NC and paying only $0.09/kwh, that $0.55/kwh in SF is just nuts to me! This setup has a 12 year payoff here...
