I’m not in a place to actually help as I’m on vacation: but since it’s a compile issue, if you posted a minimally failing-to-compilr version (no credentials) of your full YAML someone could conceivably be able to troubleshoot it

Where I am the charging infrastructure is terrible and electricity prices are bad. I was considering a hybrid but I guess if it’s no better I’ll just grab a regular ICE

You don’t want a department that you throw it over the fence to, you want them embedded on your team. Keep those feedback loops TIGHT bois

Dan you sound like a rad dude ad I’d love to have a beer with you

Any thoughts on a set of APsystems DSL3-L inverters? That’s what I’m quoted for. I’m in Canada so no idea what the inverter market is here

This is amazing, because I do have HA running and I do want to pull data. I’ll look into what their plan is to see if I can make any last minute adjustments.

Assuming data is sent in the clear over any medium which I can get a receiver for I think I’d be ok, I am planning on getting a software defined radio on my HA in the near future

Yes, I’m looking at the paperwork and I’m realizing that you’re right, 80% at 25 is the warranty guarantee, so I’m guessing they’re confident it’ll typically be much better than 80 at 25

I’m getting some new panels installed this year, and I think they’re suggesting they’ll be at 80% after 25 years.

It looks like there is disagreement between the title and content of the article. Title says 75.9, content says 79.5

Either way, does this suggest that new panels might do better than expected over a 30 year timespan?

I mean, I’ve never seen a real platypus but I’m not going to use that as a justification for why they can’t exist.

I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a spectrum. I’ve worked in shops that claimed to be agile but to them, that just meant JIRA and story points. I’ve worked at places where agile meant having daily standups.

And I’ve worked places where there actually was a genuine attempt, and that was an awesome place to work.

I’ll rephrase them, except in good faith:

1. Talking directly to the people about the work is better than a 95 state JIRA pipeline

2. Document your finished working work, not every broken POC, because that’s a waste of time

3. If the contract isn’t actually going to meet the desires of your stakeholders, negotiate one that will

4. If you realize the plan sucks, make a better plan.

My company paid to have Kent Beck come to workshop with our Sr devs. I expected to dislike him, but he won me over pretty quick.

I don’t remember what it was, but someone was like “Kent, we do X like you recommend in the manifesto, but it creates Y, and Z problem for us”

And he was like “So, in your situation it isn’t providing value?”

Guy was like “No”

“Then stop doing it.”

It’s not hard. It’s the most fucking common sense shit. I feel bad for them because these guys came from a world where there were these process bibles that people were following. So they wrote like, basically a letter saying “if your Bible doesn’t serve you, don’t follow it”

And all these businesses dummies were like “oh look, a NEW bible we can mindlessly follow”

If the goal is to visualize growth trends, I don’t think raw user counts are the correct value to track on the Y-axis at all. That’s where my head was at when I said it doesn’t make sense. Abusing the Y-axis to try and coax data out in this case is just a symptom of having the wrong measure.

Daily new users. Percent user growth.

Yeah when I showed the cop the graph of my speed before getting in my car to be 67000mph (speed of the earth around the sun) to 67080mphwhen I was driving it he couldn’t see the difference so I didn’t get the ticket.

Or sometimes choosing a common-sense reference makes sense.

Which isn’t to say THIS one does, it doesn’t, but the absolutism of “it’s nerf or nothing” is a tad extreme.

Yes, because if you read their previous comment you’ll see their primary concern is the CO2 released by curing concrete that is the equivalent of running a coal plant for DOZENS of seconds.

'Nailing down the definition of a story point to “1 developer day” oughta do it ’

I had this and I don’t mind at all

I think the ask is to just pick a lane.

Nobody had a gun to his head demanding him to espouse his commitment to an unregulated free market. He made these broad statements of his own volition.

Now, when he’s championing the exact opposite… What?

For people who believed, rightly or wrongly that he had any value-baded stances, they have to accept that they don’t exist.

That’s what these doofuses are upset about: that the xth richest person in the world is only out for themselves. There is no deeper truth.

Ah, an auditability audit.

I want a Nice Cage move where he steals the constitution but everyone is super pedantic any time someone refers to the stolen artifact as the constitution.

I don’t know if it’d be a better bit if HE always calls it the constitution and everyone else (including some backwoods “Deliverance” type character) is just like “… ackshully… I may not be too good on book learnin’ but that’m thar document ain’t no constitution cuz’ it don’t reference no democratically ratified amendments”, driving Nic to freak the fuck out…

Or if everyone else calls it the constitution and Nic is the one constantly telling people it isn’t actually, eventually freaking out.

If only there was a way to describe using a saying to abruptly conclude a conversation that you’re bored with so that you no longer are expected to apply any more mental energy on the topic, using an established terse phrase.

Like, maybe “consideration ending saying”

This is the level of nuance I heard from the TEA Party discussing their paychecks.
