why dont we just put windmills under the water?
water is heavier than wind so it will make more electricity

Batteries wear out too fast at grid scale. The cost to maintain an acre of batteries is beyond anything remotely sensible.

The problem with that is we've pretty much built all the feasible hydro going and it's being used as green base load rather than storage. I forget why you can't use wind to pump water up and gravity fed water turbines to generate stable load, but apparently it's not feasible.

Wind farms exist to take advantage of subsidies on one end and bullshit skewed market conditions on the other. It's costing the tax payer a LOT and they get none of the benefit while the energy producers are allowed to sell the electricity for profit outside the country and shut down the turbines (at tax payer expense again) whenever they can't get the price they want.
If the price disparity was ever fixed, wind would suddenly lose all investment.

>Batteries wear out too fast at grid scale
And yet...
It's happening. Without notable complaints at the speed for which they need to cycle out units.
Not taking into account solid state batteries cresting the horizon that will have charge cycles in excess of 100k. Toyota seem confident they'll have some in their cars by 2028, if that's true then they'll be everywhere shortly after. Assuming china can't beat 'em to market.

>The cost to maintain an acre of batteries is beyond anything remotely sensible.
Oz seem to be coping. As does everywhere else that's deployed.

>we've pretty much built all the feasible hydro going
No. It really isn't.
For building a dam and flooding large areas, you're probably right. But for pumping water up a hill, or a tower... There's loads of unused incline changes, and the ability to build an incline change hasn't waivered any.

>Wind farms exist to take advantage of subsidies on one end and bullshit skewed market conditions on the other
And yet. They still run profit without subsidies.

Um. No.
There's a clue in the name. Where's the "thermal" coming from in your model?
I phear you may be trying to talk of harvesting the current, which does indeed work well in some places. Some units can harvest the current *and* the waves.

Hydrothermal is something completely different, and involves temperature gradients, and is related commonly with geothermal.

>Game developers are cucks. They earn peanuts
You are fundamentally right. The best possible move a programmer can make is to get out of the games industry.
>>
>>107617234
I was a game dev from the 90s to the 2010s.
When I started the switch was just happening from pure asm to C.
Most devs I worked with were hella smart.
The transition to 3d games meant everyone needed a bit of linear algebra. Any physics programmer needed a bit of calculus. Game AI is basically state machines and graph search.
Basically most math you needed could fit on a single page.

Mostly what made game programming hard was using limited memory, understanding and using the hardware and writing very efficient code to run in a frame.

By the time I quit none of that was true. You used an engine for all the 3d stuff and physics. It's really the same level as building web pages now.
I moved to companies doing real software engineering and never looked back.

However, if you do want to work in games the only way to make money if you can't make your way up the corporate ladder and become an executive, is to write your own game on the side. Not easy, not guaranteed, but at least you won't be poor and burn yourself for some shitty game company that is likely to shut down when you ship.

To be fair, Jon is semi rich so he can afford his game flopping. It's like Notch. That doesn't invalidate his argument (his cause is noble), but I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to make a passion project or an art piece but you need to be financially sound.

Depends on "why are the disparate?" and "how much will it cost?". If they're off-the-shelf systems you're tying together, that's one thing, but if it's your own design and you find yourself having to awkwardly jam stuff together, that's often (in my experience) indicating some large flaw in the design. Conversely, if you're just converting library A to library B's representation, and it takes 500uS, then say "fuck it", take a shot, and implement the dumb conversion code tagged with FIXME:

If those questions don't provide you an answer, then consider "Is this a pattern I'll end up using more in this project? Could some overarching system solve both/all those problems elegantly (without taking longer than the project itself)?"
You should at least be able to say "If I had unlimited time, I would tie these together with (X) because ...", and then "(Y, Z) can substitute for (X) with (downsides)". Figure out what tradeoffs you're looking at, then pick the one least likely to screw future (you) over.

>make system for game
>can set timelines to play things in sequentially or async
>loads timelines from json so I can update the whole system during runtime
This part was great. But its niggerlicious because now in order to change from one menu to another I have to:
>connect button to code in user interface
>on click signals the game that the menus need to change
>game gets the timeline manager from its services list
>loads the correct timeline and plays it
Why is it niggerlicious? Because now I've moved on from sending nice IDs and explicitly telling my game what to do, to loading all of my information from a json file and its a ballache to work with.

Python, one of the very few modern & popular programming languages not owned by big tech, is now begging hard for money at python.org (picrel), Wikipedia style.

This comes after the PSF rejected an US government grant because the PSF can't stop shilling for DEI: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/10/28/211237/python-foundation-rejects-government-grant-over-dei-restrictions
The same PSF then reported a surge of new donators following the above rejection: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/11/09/2017240/python-foundation-donations-surge-after-rejecting-grant---but-sponsorships-still-needed
Yet, they are now begging for money, using a big, intrusive and cringe banner at python.org, kek.

This is what your donated money is used for: https://www.python.org/psf/grants
>Conferences (e.g. PyCon Italia)
>Event site subscriptions (Meetup.com) (e.g. London Django Meetup)
>Django Girls Workshops (e.g. Django Girls Busan Workshop)
>PyLadies Workshops (e.g. All Day PyLadies Workshop)

These faggots have a whole page dedicated to their DEI philosophy: https://www.python.org/community/diversity
Their Libera Chat #python IRC channel is filled to the brim with trannies (they/them and she/her pronouns set as their IRC name).

All jokes aside, HolyC had actual improvements to the C language. You can see Terry showcasing some of them through his live streams.

Terry was a schizo, so no one took him serious, but I assume if that wasn't the case, he would be working for some globohomo big tech, like how Ken Thompson got hired by Google to design their hipster faggot language Go.

>/g/ makes a 19th album
Theme: [Accepting suggestions]

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

First off chromeOS is fucking unusable dogshit.
On what fucking planet do you have a wifi connection 24/7?
You can't even setup the OS without internet.
Why? This is a device with a battery.
They really couldn't consider someone using this thing in a remote place with no internet?
Thankfully on this model you can coreboot it pretty easily by just unplugging the battery which disables write protection on the mobo
The biggest issue is storage
4gigs of ram is painful but usable on linux so its fine that its soldered i guess
But why the FUCK is there a SINGLE STORAGE OPTION and its only 16 fucking gigs of dogshit eMMC storage???
