I'm not sure either. I work in this industry as a professional engineer and as a neutral party. The facts are the facts at this point. It might not fit someone's agenda though.

For anyone not in the know, Trump is merely following the recommendations of the Department of Energy regarding providing economic payments to Coal/Nuclear to value the very very r…

The post above yours is actually correct. I didn't read it as rude either although maybe a little dismissive. If you work in this space, you quickly realize just how complex everyt…

Your answer is good. To add to it, the large "transmission" grid usually covers extremely high voltage lines: 115 kV, 138kV, 230kV, 345kV, 500kV, 765kV and up. It is managed by bot…

Just because there is a lot of green energy doesn't mean that everything is peachy. California also does a fair amount of importing as well during parts of the day with low solar. …

I've never heard of numcommand before, but it looks super awesome and exactly what I need. I use Linux servers, but am forced to use Windows as my local. So first question, do you …

How long have you been using Awk?

I've heard that quote, but realistically, that would be a huge project to write an efficient APL in P6 and as I already said, the performance wouldn't make you happy.

When I used the Dyalog APL free trial on Windows it installed a new keyboard mapping as part of the process. I think the keymapping is also on their site. It uninstalled as well I …

From what I understand, they've made millions off of the big banking clients and that is probably quite straightforward as opposed to making money off open source.

Dyalog has a web server and a fully documented SQL library.

Comment #17174482
You'd have to essentially embed a slow unoptimized APL in it which you can do. Add that to the fact that P6 is already slow at the moment would be an issue. Also, unlike APL, your …

I think most of the users here realize the reality (lack of users and libraries), but also recognize the power you described. I'd love for a simple open-source & multi-platform int…

Seconded. This isn't a new issue with storage, as SCADA is used everywhere. Look up the article from Wired on the Ukrainian Grid Cyber Attack. They got into the utilities operation…

California has a major issue with Solar (duck curve). I think the goal would be to incentivize additional storage, so when the sun goes down and they suddenly need 8 GW, they can l…
