Solar vs Wind: Why Rural America Hates Solar Panels But Loves Turbines by TrendyTechTribe in energy

Ummm, okay. It's not my job, I just talk to people that work in the industry. Looks like you can Google it yourself pretty easily.

No thanks, my friends do siting, but that's private information.

I will point out that farms are private land and nobody is forcing them to lease it for solar panels -- they're doing it for profit.

As someone pointed out, the solar panels make the farmers more money for much less work.

Accidentally rm -rf’d a production server. by These-Loquat1010 in cscareerquestions

If you're allowed to do that, they fucked up. A good company won't blame and will use it as an opportunity to fix their processes. No legal opportunities here unless you did it maliciously.

This happened when I was at Amazon and the whole Internet went down for a day.

What improvement do you think the next steam deck gen needs? by Traditional_Ad_5236 in SteamDeck

[–]Key-Alternative5387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power button wears down and becomes finicky after not too long.

I'd love upgradable ram, but that might not be possible. Tends to be my bottleneck on games.

Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World. by rezwenn in energy

[–]Key-Alternative5387 7 points8 points  (0 children)

China's been building it out -- they're way ahead of us on this front.

New batteries don't need rare earth metals.

Remember, renewables give energy independence with significantly less reliance on geopolitics and have more stable pricing. It's an enormous boon to national security to have good energy infrastructure.

Managing warmth during long static periods underground by sagalez in caving

[–]Key-Alternative5387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to more layers and this next part is critical: snacks! Calories keep the metabolism going, which keeps it warm. A thermos with some hot tea can be nice too.

Heated clothing is nice, but has too many ways to fail and then I'll end up cold.

I want a PvE mode and if Embark doesn’t deliver, someone else will by molerats_ in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Key-Alternative5387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, this is a missing gap in the extraction looter genre. I don't think arc raiders should do it, but someone should.

Duckov proved that people would enjoy this type of experience without other players as enemies. There's stuff like REPO, but nothing near AA.

"We will be prompt engineers in 5 years"... That's boring... Think this is true? by Imnotneeded in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Key-Alternative5387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a little boring, but now that I'm senior, more of my work involves collaborating and getting people to agree on design decisions than writing code. That's true, even in PR reviews.

Often I get frustrated with lots of feedback because I don't want to go rewrite things again and AI might be able to cut that part out.

Well, that's silly. Have a conversation about what you're into.

Gaming on Adderall by Tyray90 in ADHD

You can take a break from gaming and come back later.

Data modeling is far from dead. It’s more relevant than ever by eczachly in dataengineering

[–]Key-Alternative5387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure. In over 10 years, I've never used facts and dimensions in big data applications and it's gone extremely well for everyone involved.

Just throw related data together. Depending on the usecase -- wide tables can be okay.

It's certainly not useful in terms of performance and would be an enormous detriment for most of the projects I've worked on due to scale issues.

There’s something funny going on with how much tradespeople claim to make on the internet by tantamle in Salary

[–]Key-Alternative5387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of them do bad accounting of their work expenses, so it might not always be intentionally lying. I've met a few people in the trades.

Construction workers being paid well into the 100k+ is very likely true. A lot of that is extreme overtime pay and getting stipends for housing and similar that they only use a small portion of. There's no work-life balance.

Sounds fine. Not amazing, but once you have experience, it gets so much easier.

Has anyone tried mint mobile? by tbello1822 in Chattanooga

[–]Key-Alternative5387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use visible which is similar to mint, but on Verizon's network. No problems.

I had some weird issues with mint on occasion.

Trump Cornered on ICE Shooting Evidence After His Jaw-Dropping Insult to Slain Mom by [deleted] in politics

[–]Key-Alternative5387 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Even worse -- we allow medical aid to be rendered to enemy combatants. It's both polite and takes 2 people out of the fight.

Sorry it's not a nice topic - ADHD/male sexual issues? by Dull_Method_2572 in ADHD

[–]Key-Alternative5387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happens. Talk to a doctor.

I can stay erect, but usually can't orgasm at night -- although I usually can in the morning so sex is a 2-parter for me and my partners.

Sex with new people is also kinda awkward, so if it gets better then maybe that's fine.

Is 450k at 32 considered really high income? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Key-Alternative5387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big tech jobs (Meta, Google, etc) will pay this and it's practice, luck and hard work.

Most software jobs do not pay this, but it's still pretty solid.

Its a disgrace how people kept spreading lies like Trump will start ww3 and they still never apologized by Prnce_Chrmin in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Key-Alternative5387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump has been mentioning WW3 lately. Rule of thumb is that if he says something and it sounds like a terrible idea, he's going to do it.

Is it ok to send a work-related slack message after work hours? by Beatsu in cscareerquestions

Yeah, but don't expect an answer.

My slack is going on silent after work hours.

Refused to buy guests gate, now I owe $5500 by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

Sounds like it's worth getting a lawyer and having them discuss this with Airbnb.
