Its almost always tools and programs used in their professional life. The 365 suite, adobe suite, fusion 360, simulation programs, ...
Yes i know there are free or alternative options, but they are never as good or powerful as the full on suites that have existed since the dawn of time.
Ive been running linux ( dual boot with windows ) on my work laptop for 9 months at this point and i love it. But sometimes, i do have to boot windows for one of the professional suite programs.
I love this meme, and nearly commented it myself to the top comment, but i learned an american badger != a honey badger :(
Specially this. How space x handles failures is a very hard nono in my book. "But we test in the field" is what space x says, and as a software developer its like saying "we test in production".
Yes youll get something use able faster, but its way way more costly in the long run and is nasty in between.
My arse they cant test this stuff on earth. We have simulations, models, calculations, test, everything. Yes, things can and will sometimes still fail when going in production ( in flight ) but you want to lower the risk of it failing cause its costly as fuck.
They dont seem to care though.
Also, im not saying what they are building towards is bad, it really really isnt, but their methods is... Bad
Maybe they wrote their own emulator
It makes sense to exist... In the 40's.
But with modern day society and how small the world has become, it makes no sense to me to still exist tbh..
Not all cops, and not everywhere in the world, are pigs. The world isn't that black and white
Ye, i dont know how it is worldwide but here in west europe paying online with your bank is just like paying with paypal. The only advantages paypal has over my bank is its return policy and it technically not directly linking the purchase with my personal info.
I havent used paypal in a while tbh...
Thanks, i was thinking id need to go check them later today and that it was kinda illegal. Now i can be rest assured its fiiine
Ah ye that makes sense! The grid is pushing 230v in, so to get power out you push harder back, so for example 240v. Thanks!
I know inverters have a safety feature to shutdown if the input voltage is not in range so it doesnt push power on a open net etc. Have had people tell me that inverters doing that was a problem, but discovered they shutdown if the input isnt right!
but it outputs 230v, how would that ever get to 250v? keep in mind, im not an electronics engineer just guessing with what i know
thanks for those very interesting points. its great to know those.
i do believe the point of the power grid is changing, and its point is changing. and yes, many people dont like it because they have to pay more despite having solar panels, but somebody has to pay for the maintenance on the power grid and paying those people costs money, lots of it.
i didnt think about the startup time of power plants, but how do they do that now? i cant imagine them being able to do these operations now, or do they really predict power usage constantly? also, i assume the 250v is because putting load on the grid would lower the 250v to the normal 230v, and because people use their solar power that load is reduced so its voltage is too high?
That said, i do believe its regulated too much. It has issues, yes, but regulating isnt making the issues go away...
Ye, they are apparently a different race of badgers!
