Short and to the point but I think this may be a little clearer for one of them.
The "With all due respect" comments are better thought of as meaning that it is assumed that the person is good at something and should be respected for it but has made a glaring mistake in the current case. The rare extreme version "with the greatest possible respect" should be read as - that's utterly fucking insane and if I didn't already know you I'd assume you are a complete and utter nutter.
Back on thread I was not insulting the above poster merely pointing out a very common mistake that a huge number of people make on this site so he should not be thought any less of, they are just one of many making a mild false assumption while out of their depth.
Dumbed down to the maximum the comment should read that the poster made a mistake but it is a very common mistake. People should not think less of the poster for making such a common mistake.
I have no problem with Wayland just with the "X sux" liars. How about you take a look at the Wayland mailing list and actually get a clue about the topic to avoid any more ridiculous mistakes.
or are you playing dense
The guy who fucked up is calling me dense? How about learning about the topic instead of making me laugh at you.
Solar is not dispatchable. It does not follow the peaks.
Not by magic, but how about we talk about real things and not magic? In reality when demand peaks available sources such as wind or solar farms are brought on line. It does mean they are idle most of the time, but that is life when you have demand that changes and wish to match that demand.
All solar installations today are used essentially 100% of the time they are working
Utter bullshit.
To imply otherwise is either ignorant
What a nasty little person you are with that pathetic attempted bullying.
Less decades involved, but North America has a lot of those now to replace the now very old and a bit lossy timezone spanning links that have probably been there longer than most of the posters here have been alive. While HVDC is a vast improvement there was stuff used for that task earlier.
General versus specific. Different paragraphs. Plural versus singular. It is a bit odd that you are attempting to give me English lessons after missing all of those things.
The average adult I've talked to knows jack shit about electricity generation and supply.
Yet they don't pretend they do and pontificate about "capacity factor" instead of understanding that some things you want to run all of the time and some things you only need every now and again.
I don't mean to belittle you but by definition everything used to cover demand peaks is going to have a low capacity factor because it is not used all of the time. It's a depressingly common mistake. There are a huge number of people posting here who know less than the average high schooler about electricity generation and supply.
Didn't you people do field trips when you were children?
Seriously? Wayland is not X. It is very different. It was never designed to be "the future of X". It was designed to be something else to use instead of X.
So now you know a tiny bit about the topic. I suggest you learn a little bit more before you go around "correcting" people.
That lie again? Cut and pasting X code does not suddenly make the X developers who wrote the original copied code Wayland developers. The only person who comes remotely close to what you are suggesting is Daniel Stone and he's been called out as being less than honest with his examples (eg. he suggested X is slow because gedit based on gtk3 is slow - yet the older version of gedit has not speed problems at all on X). He ported X to the Nokia N900 and did a bit of a code cleanup on a tiny part of X but he's not exactly an X guru.
Here's a thing - if X sucks so badly then why did the Wayland folks use the X video drivers instead of writing new ones?
Greyhound Racing Victoria is the sort of group I was talking about. The tiny city councils are a bit of a worry and access is almost certain to be abused there.
Maybe because it has systemd level hype with the same rabid attack by fanboys on alternatives but without the project maturity. I wish they would hold off the hype until the thing is ready to use and the "X sux" misinformation stuff was beyond childish.
That's like putting nerf rounds in a Desert Eagle and taking it to the range. Why use a toy on something built to run the top end stuff when the top end stuff is cheaper?
Yes it's as good as you would Expect and is the proper way to do an involved script GUI interface. However sometimes a couple of lines of bash using zenity does the job and is pretty obvious to anyone who has to alter it later.
Main issue isn't "following the hype" -- it's not understanding why something worked for someone, or even why what you're currently doing is or isn't working before making sweeping changes.
Indeed - such as implementing the Toyota method without the feedback steps that made it work for Toyota (and Ford before that). That is a very common failure. Just about anything with "quality" in it's name outside of production line testing seems to make that sort of mistake too and diverge far from reality. A former boss who seemed to work "quality" into every sentence later went on in the next job to black out the largest city in New Zealand for a month. His cutbacks on maintenance were apparently "quality" cutbacks and redundant systems were apparently wasteful.
It depends on if it really matters. A little script to pop up a box and let the user choose from a list of environment variables before running an application could be done properly with python or it could be done in a couple of lines using zenity in the bash shell. Sometimes using that circular saw is pretty damn quick if the tree is small enough that it doesn't matter. That's why planning is important and choosing the technique before taking a major step is the way to get that experience. Solving toy problems or making small changes can be done with just about anything so that's not the way to start using the right tool for the job.

They would lose the tight control they have over their piecework employees who may decide to do a bit of taxi work on their own.

It all makes sense if you read the subject heading of the post prior to it.
Work on that attention span kiddies!

Isn't it lucky that you've had them for probably more decades than you have been alive.

Didn't you people do field trips when you were children?
Yes but that's a base load solution.
This solar plant is a peak load solution.
You need both.
Having a nuke idle all night is a very expensive waste.
Seriously?

You misunderstand.
Sometimes the task is such that there are a vast number of right tools to choose from.
At other times there is not.
In Australia the animal welfare agencies ended up on the list of groups with full access to internet metadata.
No.
That's like saying the FBI is the same as the Secret Service.
But then those agencies will see he's looked it up from his web browsing history!

Why would he start now?
That trust fund baby has played for his entire life.
