I don’t think anybody thinks or thought it was.

it was a lot simpler in capabilities. much of the complexity is because of feature creep.

How much did the engineering time to make this optimization cost?

Just looked and I'm not seeing ANY 55" 8k around right now. All the ones I'm seeing now are 65" at the smallest, and that seems way too big.

I've found a 43" 4k is about the right pixel size for me; a 49" 4k was too big on a desk. Fortunately, it died and I could get a smaller replacement.

I suspect a 49/50" 8k would be ideal, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Will it translate to yaml for toolchains that want that?

I'd be delighted to have a high-level IDL that gave the same sort of thing that CORBA IDL gave us 25 years ago -- schema and stub generation for multiple languages.

How is that not an API?

It’s offloaded the work to an adapter.

Not diversity. Younger cheaper quotas.

I was looking for the chalk v marker on whiteboard shootout, and it was conspicuous in absence.

So, at his site, 10+ years ago, his wind produced more frequent power than PV would have, at 3x the cost of a commercial solution.

Even then, PV would have been more cost-efficient. Now with storage probably even more so.

Small wind is a mug's game except in very specific circumstances.
