Calculators were a part of life when I was studying math, but we used a pencil and paper because the answer wasn't the point, learning and practicing was.

"This outfit is bold and shows off your strong personality, a perfect choice for today!" It's May and you chose a bright green and red sweater with a picture of Santa Clause. "You'…

Excellent, clear example.

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…

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…

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.

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.

Giant Steps is a great suggestion, I second this.

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 …

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 / migr…

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 p…

My first thought too!
