I use a dotfile with aliases and functions, mostly to document / remember commands I find useful. It's been a handy way to build a living document of the utils I use regularly, and is easy to migrate to each new workstation.

Gaming is a special case imo, and more affected by the additional power drawn for the GPU. For CPU bound apps, there's still a night and day difference between new apple silicon vs the previous generation of x64 processors. I'

I remember saying "as soon as I can get 1GB for under $100, I'll switch from optical media..", and then the day that finally happened. That seemed like a bargain at the time.

No, they're going to pay a couple hundred dollars to replace the head unit with an aftermarket one that doesn't spam ads.

I think in this case, the author means coding version logic into the app itself. eg. versioned API endpoints for backwards compatibility

I've always thought of RPGs as narrative focused games with character progression based on improving stats and equipment. I think both A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger would fit that description. ALttP may not have the same depth

> I've just had GPT-4o write me a full-featured 2048 clone in ~6 hours of casual chat, in between of work, making dinner, and playing with kids; it cost me some $4 in OpenAI bills, and I didn't write a single line of code. This

Speaking of Stephen King, The Mist is another great example. The film adaptation completely changed the ending, and people almost unanimously agree for the better.

Nearly every crypto wallet I've created, I've initiated a transfer the same day. With the public ledger I can look up the first transaction for one of my wallet addresses and know with near certainty when that wallet was created.

I was referring to peak vs off-peak demand, rather than generation.

Thanks for the additional context in this example. You're right that there are additional drawbacks if a finite reservoir is required.

I think its a valid point that this approach would be more useful when run by the energy provider themselves, and would make it much easier to justify turning the miners off / migrating them to newer projects as a way to manage demand.

Why not offer an agreement for off-peak use, and put profits into expanding capacity? This always seemed like a great use case for bootstrapping new power generation projects. It provides an immediate customer for excess base power genera

I use a calculator so rarely, I've found I mostly just type the equation into the closest browser address bar to see the result. Works great for most PEMDAS operations. For 90% of the time, I have my answer quicker than I would be able
