This is exactly how our rooftop solar works. The inverter only supplies ac power if it can sync to the grid frequency meaning that the system disconnects without a live grid connection. Even if I had a battery, this would still be a requirement under local regulations.

> Feels a bit out of place that the website tries to aggressively make me download Firefox

It's firefox.com, feels like the perfect place to encourage people to download Firefox. That would be like going to a car dealership and being put off by people trying to sell you a car

I feel like a vw transporter 7 seater would suit your use case, maybe a vw caddy if you want something physically smaller.

I've started recording loom videos of myself walking through features. It's turned into a great way of testing my own code as subtle errors are more obvious when you've effectively set up a spotlight and pointed a camera at what you've built. The voiceover on top them acts as a form of rubber duck for UX.

I feel there's a lack of respect for the person being interacted with in these ads. They all end too soon to show the consequences of transparent AI use and imply the other character has never heard of AI.

More accurate endings would be:

- "I thought we told Warren to stop uploading company emails to chatgpt."

- "A photo collage?!, after I spent a week building you that new console table for your birthday."

> It's worth noting though that there's no dependency on a JavaScript backend - the same thing can be achieved on PHP, Java, Go, etc.

The only Javascript in the article is on the server side to handle the HTTP.

Gasoline and petroleum are different products as pointed out in the sibling comment.

You may be thinking of petrol, which is what gasoline is often called outside the US.

You can think of docker files and other manifests as a highly structured and more direct-to-machine form of communication. Instead of a developer informing other developers to ensure that the dev machines and servers are upgraded to the right version of the JVM via a confluence page or slack message, that developer has left machine-readable instructions in a consistent format in a readily accessible place.

This is a good way to fix those problems with communication/practices/documentation and processes.

Pi 4 has a dedicated quad core ARM A72 @ 1.5Ghz and up to 8GB of RAM.

A $5 VM from Digitalocean has 1vCPU and 1GB of RAM.

Adding to that, it is very good for wrapping around the ends of cords like chargers and headphones to stop them fraying (Apple products were very prone to this for a while)

I wouldn't even trust a watermark. It'd have to be a cryptographic signiture on the file itself.

I imagine there is a lack of buyers in the current economic climate. I doubt any airline is currently expanding and in need of extra planes.
