I always see articles about the decreasing cost of solar, but where are these costs collected from? Is it just not available at a consumer level? Maybe I missed the sources in the article somewhat...

I think this just illustrates why hidden state is so difficult for the user. It's hard to replicate old calculators because it was poor UI that was making do with what was yet available.

I've read this many times over the years, sort of enamored by how such a strange phenomenon popped out of a factory setting.
In the most 2016 update the relative says it's common to see weird effects from the spools. If it's so common it should be reproducible I would think, yet I've never seen it done.

While it is impressive and I like to follow the advancements in this field...
Please don't think that I'm trying to suggest... anything . It's just that I'm getting used to read this pattern in the output of LLMs. "While this and that is great...". Maybe we're mimicking them now? I catch myself using these disclaimers even in spoken language.
I like to preface negativity with a positive note. Maybe I am influenced in my word choice but my intent was to point out that this is a very, very impressive feat and I don't want to undermine it.

While it is impressive and I like to follow the advancements in this field, it is incredibly frustrating to listen to. I can't put my finger on why exactly. It's definitely closer to human-sounding, but the uncanny valley is so deep here that I find myself thinking "I just want the point, not the fake personality that is coming with it". I can't make it through a 30s demo.

I'm using Prisma ORM over Drizzle (didn't exist when I started).
When I need to add new data to a table I have, I just put the "new_column Type" in my prisma.schema for table X. and run "npx prisma migrate dev." Then everywhere else in my code, I already have the updated type for my object X.new_column and can access it with the guardrails of not betraying what type it is.
I'd rather do that than ALTER TABLE to create and update my read queries, while making sure I don't make a mistake in the raw SQL.
Guardrails seems to be a common argument. It feels heavy handed though to use an entire library/ecosystem to ensure you don't have typos, your tests should catch them anyhow.
And migrations are a separate feature that a number of ORMs have, you can have clean migrations with pure SQL using a tool like gomigrate.
I think the real utility is that the ORM is doing the marshalling for you.

It looks like as an ORM gets more expressive it looks more like regular SQL. What is a reasonable argument for using an ORM over writing SQL?
I always feel like I'm missing something because it looks like you have to learn a specific library instead of a general purpose language.

I've been working with large Angular projects for years and I really enjoy the development experience.
Especially now with the new template syntax, signals, and other recent changes.
Agreed. I think the earlier days of Angular put a bad taste in many people's mouths. Many people who complain about Angular being verbose seem to only have experience working on smaller apps.

How about no. More working hours won’t bring you happiness, it won’t fulfill your lack of XY, and most certainly it won’t make you wealthy either.
I thought this was a joke at first. He says he "feels great" but I can't help but be skeptical about that claim. Maybe I'm soft because I think a 40 is reasonable and prudent.
Looks like some work needs to be done to get this into familiar CAD terms with the English translation.
Difficult to use right now, it just switched into the Chinese translation when trying to make a cube and there doesn't appear to be an easy way to change that.
