Why should I use this instead of Template class from string

Amazing. Viewing this article sparked a thought, whoever makes the infamous “artistic rendering”s, their job got a lot easier recently with AI.
I guess our trading partners should lower their tariffs/margins to a level that makes these US importers and publishers able to take a healthy cut, or we can assume they don’t mind the drop in orders to their factories.

They recognized what was coming and knelt rather than having their balls busted.
Also, they're already wealthy, they have what matters in the foreseeable future.
This is unequivocally not an endorsement of their choices.
Or they are not too worried…

For any backend engineers that don’t build products because dealing with frontend is demoralizing… give the replit ai agent a test. I’m making better ui now than I ever could with bootstrap and jquery. Typescript + react + the right amount of prompting about code quality and maintainability and it produced workable interfaces plus some.
Question must be, what's the point of uber large storage sites? Storage is essential, but where is the economy of scale of large sites, how are they more economic than small - say container-sized, a ~1 MWh - ones? Having smaller systems, closer to producer, must also save on transmission capacity, no? Not to mention, given the geopolitical situation, their safety.
I'm also convinced that separating generation and storage is simply an awfully, comically bad idea: generation that needs storage - solar and wind - is DC, storage is also DC. Transmission is usually AC or at least goes through AC/DC conversion at some point.
Why wasting a lot of additional energy to store it by doing an extra unneeded AC/DC conversion which happens if storage is separate from generation? Instead of storing DC energy as it is produced and discharging it - by converting to AC and feeding into the grid - as it is needed?
This might be a small site by the time the planet is converted.

What does this mean? Can you give an example?
I took it to mean that we give money to people who ask for it

Governmental monetary systems are usually founded on hopes and prayers (and military might).

Right now they are just buying, no one is selling ... interesting.
You have to buy before you sell
He's probably talking about libraries like PySpark or PyFlink which are used a lot
Pyflink seems promising, I love vanilla flink but as soon as you need to debug your pyflink job pyflink becomes a hurdle. That translation layer between Python and Java can be opaque.
