https://grid.iamkate.com/ - overly good day for renewable production in the UK, my thoughts:
1. Wind is really cost effective for the UK and loads more is due to come online
2. EPR reactors keep running massively over budget e.g. Flamanville 3
3. Research money is heading into the best ways to store grid level energy.
All in all I am very hopeful and not against Nuclear at all but I just can't ignore the charts today.
Such a nice thought that a good % of my flat is being powered with little consequence!
DRM is a requirement of the insurance providers who insure distributors and pay out if the distributor leads to the content being leaked.
In reality the DRM technology isn't that important its more akin to the questionnaire you get for car insurance that says do you have a thatcham alarm.
Too much analysis looks at this from technical angle when it's really an insurers tool to lower their risk (only to lower it!).
It's not a big deal when a device/content is compromised merely a policy pays out in the background to the provider to the effect of % lost revenue. All normal insurance ruled apply, payout decided by expert witness, higher premiums for less secure devices etc.
Definitely enjoy Perl to this day for how fast you can achieve things with it.
Most of my work goes through evolutions depending on eventual use. Many staying in the first phase.
Proof of concept/one shot work just needed by me: Perl
Needed by internal or external developers who know what they are doing: Python3 rewrite
Needs to be robust: Java/C/C++/Rust
The speed with which you can prototype by piecing together micro C programs mixed with Perl orchestrating them is really something that has benefited me throughout my career!
It's not always taking me to totally relevant sites but the results contain my favourite type of content.
Full of writing and pure html - usually the hallmark of someone who knows what they are doing, wants to communicate but doesn't want to waste their time.
Try treating employees pretty well, encourage a lot of new grass root projects in a supported environment.
No one in Google will be doing anything grassroots now. The end of this experiment is a shame.
For a while it dragged other companies up with it e.g. for top talent you had to go half way towards Google perks.
