The USA specifically has so much useless land with minimal ecological value, that if an energy project could actually be done at a federal level we could probably not have to worry about it.
There is a whole bunch of land in central USA that is not especially unique or teaming with life, slap down a big renewable energy farm.
I agree it's safe but idk it's the best we currently have, I think that probably depends on locale.
Solar and wind (and maybe tidal?), with pumped hydro energy storage is probably cheaper, safer, and cleaner... But it requires access to a fair bit more water than a nuclear plant requires, at least initially.
But nuclear is still far better than using fossil fuels for baseline demand.
That's not agile.
It's not bad, it's just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn't possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don't get worst-case productivity.
The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.
I'm coming for that boatussy, fr.
I prefer not to be lit like a b-movie villain, when I'm walking around in my own home, but you do you.
You're right wrt personal preference. It's just strange to me how seemingly all the neurodivergents but me hate overhead lighting 😭
Floor lamps that are above head height are... Ok I guess, but that's still mostly head-on. Light that is clearly cast down is so much more satisfying. Personal preference, of course.
And to be clear I don't have anything against mood lighting or accent lights, I like them... Just not only them.
The impression I have (mainly from social media like tiktok and Lemmy) is that the desired lighting is head high and below which just... Puts me in a tailspin lol. Idk how people can live like that 🤣
In my ideal room, there would be indirect overhead lighting that illuminated most of the ceiling to provide an indirect overhead area light, with a near-head level accent lights. I've looked into if I could use a short-throw projector onto the ceiling to provide some kind of crazy configurable overhead lighting, but they're simply not meant for that kind of application
I'm not talking about descriptions, I'm talking about pictures and videos.
And I'm not talking about lighting set into the floor, I mean like floor lamps and shit.
They put these laps on shelves and desks and standing on the floor, but they're almost always below eye level when standing, so everyone looks like a b-movie villain as they move about the room. It drives me crazy.
Give me an overhead area light. Soft shadows from light cast downward onto my face.
Ceiling light is best light.
All these fucking mood lighting I see people talk about make you look like some kind of underlit villain, or like you're telling goosebumps stories around the world's mildest campfire.
Why am I the only neurodivergent person who finds floor lights fucking disgusting ???
Owners:
Now that we have generative AI, we can finally get rid of all those expensive employees
There are common traps and employer don't spend money/time to train their devs to avoid them.
SOLID principles are pretty decent but a surprising number of people don't do any of them
That's why they mentioned "pumped hydro"
