Possibly just a reminder that an outspoken few and the Russian propagandists amplifying their messaging don't actually speak for the majority of people, particularly when it comes to practical matters involving money.

It usually goes to the lowest-ranking person on the team or the one everyone's trying to keep away from actual coding.

It remains worth the effort to write a novel around your code - not just what you did and why you did certain things a certain way, but the meta-reasons. The more those who come after you understand, the easier it is for them to figure out and maintain your code. It also tends to focus you more on writing good code, because you don't want to document, "Well, it looked good enough and didn't immediately produce errors and I'm tired of this and want to move on".

AI code? Well, AI should be very good at generating plain-language documentation of 'what', but it is absolutely going to fail at 'why'.

The additional cost over a normal horizontal ducted turbine is, of course, the new shell and the actuator it requires.

It's like you didn't bother actually reading my post and just responded in ignorance.

It happens here, but perhaps you'd be happier on Reddit?

Start with a ducted horizontal wind turbine. If you imagine a bunch of salad bowls stacked with spacers and you get the idea of what it would look like from the outside.

The ducts collect air from any direction and drive it down, through the turbine, and out the bottom. Water doesn't turn corners quiet as easily as air, so you can use the ducts to separate out the majority of liquid and drain it away from your turbine.

Then you and an armored shell of horizontal bands that can be moved up and down to reduce or enlarge the duct input slot area. Instead of having to worry about wind load and braking at the turbine, you control dangerous wind load at the intake.

There's your monsoon-resistant wind turbine.

It wasn't a big theatre-experience movie, it was more like a handful of really good television episodes strung together.

In that sense, it was both a good movie and deserved the bad reviews it got.

1) Not tied to frequent fuel deliveries

2) Does not require much that humans don't already need - sun and air. (Variability will affect your power storage needs)

3) It can be deployed almost anywhere, and even be portable.

The main issue is energy density - if you want to drive hundreds of kilometers a day, run your AC all summer and heat all winter, etc., you're going to need a lot of land dedicated to power collection.

I imagine there are a lot of places in a continent like Africa where people might be happy to get by on what solar can give them in return for not having to worry about burning oil or anything else to get electricity.

Do you want Reavers? Because this is how you get Reavers.

Interesting, you're right that the Steam Deck is actually heavier, I just weighed both and TBH the Switch 2 still feels heavier to me, maybe because it's just denser, but that's apparently purely illusory. My measurement results don't match the posted values (I get 550g for the Switch 2 and 696g for the Steam Deck LCD) but those numbers are probably thrown off because I've put aftermarket screen protectors on both of them, as well as a popular brand aftermarket SSD upgrade in the Steam Deck.

A deep crater at the south pole in eternal darkness, with the ability to raise solar collectors above the rim for eternal sunshine, and you have excellent conditions for observing the skies.

Maybe, or maybe leverage, like blackmail info.

Nope, not hard at all. Dumping to desktop mode is an option right under the power section of the main menu, and past that it works pretty much like a regular Linux distro.

It's actually lighter than a Switch 2, surprisingly. It was so much heavier than the original Switch that I was sure nothing considered "handheld" would ever top it.

Meanwhile, I often can't even get new clients to believe the demonstrably provable skills I actually have. One has to wonder what his magic trick was...
