One thing to note here, though I researched this a few years ago so it may be dated? I was wondering at the time why there was almost no solar contribution compared to wind, and learned that while utilities operate most wind farms, solar tends to be private operations that sell their power to the grid and are often not included on a site like this which monitors only the utility’s contributions.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Wind Farm…
Output: 32 MW
Capability: 29 MW
Plant operator: Scotty! I need more power!!!
Scotty: I’m doin’ all I can! She canna take much more of this Cap’n!
Wow, I actually pretty qualified for this. But I’m rather busy… :/
What jumps out almost immediately is that it does not appear to be a loop. Were it a loop, you could have more than one car going around. Should it not at the bare minimum satisfy its own naming criteria?
I use Sourcetree for routine stuff, though I occasionally have to hit the command line when shit gets real.
Wait, they’re not all made in China? Last time we were ordering some for a development board at work, we had to source them from China, though that was admittedly a few years back.
iirc Rob was the user and Doug was the dealer.
I think my most common use case is with dictionary lookups.
if (val := dct.get(key)) is not None:
# do something with val
I’ve also found some cases where the walrus is useful in something like a list comprehension. I suppose expanding on the above example, you you make one that looks up several keys in a dict and gives you their corresponding values where available.
vals = [val for key in (key1, key2, key3) if (val := dct.get(key)) is not None]
I’m glad you found something that works. I don’t think there is a one size fits all solution to weight gain, but it’s awesome that your approach does not necessitate splurging on diet plans or gym memberships.
I’ve been losing weight very slowly myself over the past several years since I cancelled my largely ignored gym membership during the pandemic and bought an ebike instead. I commute on it regularly and, while it’s hardly what I would call a vigorous workout, it seems to have flipped the weight curve from slight gain/time to even slighter loss. Like we’re talking a pound/month if that. But I’ll take it!
I think that’s part of the plan though right? If they spot a compliance officer walking up, they can drive the patio around the block a bit until he’s gone.
I hope you post an unboxing video. It could be exceptional…
Shit. As a Canadian, I’ve been trying to boycott the US amid the tariffs and 51st state taunts, but I might have to make an exception. It would really, really, suck to lose the likes of PBS.
I was kind of hoping for a window view. I can’t even picture what travelling 600 kph at ground level would look like?
I sort of picture this when I see bread or tortillas marketed as high fibre even when they contain no whole grains.
Pokemon Go?
Microsoft cancelled its support for the Faster CPython project in May this year, as part of a round of layoffs
wtf did they actually axe Guido? I thought he was heavily involved in that.
Aw man, not the early 90s again…
As with most script languages, you can hit the ground running in a very procedural sort of way, as you don’t even have to define a main entry point. You just start coding.
But Python certainly has an object model. If I’m not mistaken, everything in Python is an object. Like even functions.
I suppose there are some aspects of the class implementation that feel a little tacked on? Like the way you need to manage the self reference manually where it may be implicitly handled for you in other languages. At least the way you call super() now is a lot less kludgy.
One thing I miss a bit in Python is method overloading. In a general sense, function overloading is not an OOP feature per se, but I find it useful in OOP, particularly with object initializers. You can sort of achieve it with @functools.singledispatch but it’s pretty janky. For initialization, I prefer keeping the __init__ method pretty rudimentary and writing factory functions to do more complex initializations. And with @dataclass, you can forego writing an __init__ altogether if you do it that way.
Here in Ontario, I think we have 16 reactors spread across 3 power plants? And more are purportedly on the way.
The CANDU reactors use heavy water and should, in theory, be safer than light water designs since they can function with unenriched uranium. OTOH the nearest reactor to where I live is in upstate New York and is rather Fukushima-like from what I’ve heard. Also, I don’t know what the new reactors will be, though the provincial gov seems to be pushing SMRs for whatever reason.
