Like capacity x capacity factor, e.g. if your 100MW site produces power 50% of the time (because of nighttime, clouds, etc) then it would produce, over the course of a year 100,000,000 x 24 x 365 x 0.5 = 438 GWh annually (very simplified).

Does anyone know of a site that tracks the typical GWh of these big installations?

When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.

What do you hate specifically – e.g. exercising in general, getting hot and sweaty, foot/leg/joint pain, your location or route, having to be alone with your thoughts for a while, etc? I’ve been running for nearly 3 decades now (yikes), and even as a kid I remember the thing that made it “click” with me is the realization that I literally could not be doing anything else at the same time (aside from listening to music, I guess).

I think that unless you are having physical pain (in which case the usual applies - check your shoes, modify your gait, reduce or restructure your runs to be more comfortable), you have to get into the headspace of just mentally doing nothing, which can be hard for some people.

FWIW I don’t know anyone who, in the middle of a 10k run in 90 degree heat with a side stitch says “I feel awesome right now!”, but I do know many, many people who will finish out that run, stop for a moment and then go “ahhhhhhh.”

I think we’re all a little better off for Sabine being on YouTube.

That clipped ear says they’ve also been neutered, so… maybe think hard about what that kind of lifestyle change entails.

Who is your PM or senior assigning the tasks? You need to take this up with them – everyone always needs a couple of quick hits in their back pocket. When you stall out grinding on task after impossible task it kills your motivation and productivity, and that’s your boss’s job to fix.

I read about 25% of the book this is based on before giving up (too manifesto-y for me, and needed a different/better editor), but the thought of coupling a book with a game like this is pretty interesting — get the point of your argument across to people who might otherwise never engage with it (if not for the title, anyway)

Their “how it works” blog article is worth a read - they’re using a blackbox reverse engineering of the protocol and re-implementing it natively in the app, so there are no man-in-the-middle servers. Impressive software engineering for sure.

Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase “JavaScript Engineer” and become doubly confused.
