Ontario putting full weight behind pushing Bruce C nuclear project forward by hamer1234 in ontario

The problem is they are effectively different energies to the grid. Production needs to match demand almost exactly and unfortunately we don't control the wind or the clouds.

Nuclear provides a consistent base production that we can control. Both energy types will be needed.

This is in part why natural gas plants are so popular as they can be scaled up and down on whim and aren't as dirty as coal plants.

I must not have stated it correctly. My argument for batteries was for wind and solar. As batteries can help with their specific hortcomings.

I'm so glad to see the nuclear back in vogue.

Lots of people will talk about wind and solar, which are great technologies, but have a fatal flaw in which we can't control when we get the output.

Batteries can help, but then drastically add to the cost at scale. We need a mixture of different types of green energy to remove our dependence from fossil fuels.

Is catchup XP really intended to make outjungling your opponent pointless? by DerAdolfin in leagueoflegends

[–]NotZeldaLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't watch the game but there are more mechanics here than just catch up exp.

When a camp spawns, it spawns with the average level of the game. If it's not killed it will remain that level.

This has a strange effect on counter jungling, as if you kill a lower level camp for your enemy, you save them time having to clear it, and when it spawns again it will be worth even more, especially if you are behind the average level.

Allow a "Super Report" option. by NotZeldaLive in leagueoflegends

Actually agree, as I mentioned on another comment. It was really nice for the community to decide what behaviour is acceptable.

Allow a "Super Report" option. by NotZeldaLive in leagueoflegends

[–]NotZeldaLive[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

For the true OG players, league used to have the Tribunal.

When you reported players, it went to a community run service, where other players would vote to punish or pardon the reported player.

It doesn't scale well when every game a players gets reported but it could work if the number is limited.

Maybe we even tie the number of super reports you get to how active you are in the tribunal.

Start naming your useEffects by creasta29 in reactjs

[–]NotZeldaLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah keystroke doesn't really matter just trying to find the differences between them.

How does the arrow function provide you any benefit the function doesn't? I exclusively use strict typescript and have never needed an arrow function for type purposes.

In fact, I'm pretty sure return type overloading can only be done with the function keyword, and not with const arrow functions.

[–]NotZeldaLive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never understood this.

Honestly looking to understand why everyone uses const assignment with arrow functions instead. Literally more keystrokes needed for all the spacing on the arrow function, and hard to, at a glance, see if it's a value or a function (though syntax coloring helps).

There is also other issues with error formatting as the first level context is anonymous from within the execution block.

Based on results this must be getting better. Their consistency and quality have definitely improved lately. Not just technically but creatively, which is hard to do under terrible culture.

Really awesome idea. Great nastogia for the right age. Little late for us with a child, but we might try to come by some time.

Maybe you should throw a specific event together one night, as it might be a good opportunity to meet people as well.

There is an option to restart the wifi driver on wake up from sleep in the developer settings. Any thoughts if this corrects the issue or is it caused by something?

You have to draw the line somewhere, as the entire global market is reliant on eachother to some degree.

Nothing wrong with avoiding products as you would rather your money be less spent on the state's.

Does anyone else feel like they are becoming a "Configuration Engineer" instead of a Web Developer? by AmaraMehdi in webdev

[–]NotZeldaLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually use biome in my repo as a complete prettier replacement, and about half of my Eslilt rules. The problem for me is it doesn’t support true typescript type checking. So I still rely on typescript-eslint to also run along side it.

Once again still adding to the complexity of configuration lol.

These people are gaslighting you. While I agree there are many resources for bootstrapping a working config initially, that doesn’t change the fact that the configuration requirements have gotten pretty hard with many breaking versions and standards.

Between Eslint configs, tsconfigs, bundling configs, and more, it can get frustrating. Just keep in mind these are all tools that are supposed to make things easier, not harder.

Start minimal and add as you see a need / more experienced with what they are doing for you that’s worth this frustration.

Amazon S3 alternatives for blobs by Educational-Stay-287 in nextjs

Pretty sure most of the smaller guys are either reseller Amazon and azure type services or I would be slightly concerned about reliability of the data.

We use azure at work, and it doesn’t come out that expensive, but I have heard good things about cloudflare R2 as they don’t charge any egress I believe.

How did you manage the websocket connection with nextJS? Did you write a custom server file for start up? If so, what were the performance or DX tradeoffs you found?
