Roughly 2/3 wind and 1/3 solar.

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

That is like three or four change tracking models in the stack: diffs, xdiffs, CRDT, and likely undo/redo in the editor, unless it is unified with CRDTs

The era of manual software development is coming to a close quickly.
My view on software development has drastically changed. I believe in the future the role of engineers will be to build software factories, not the software itself.

I literally just found out (five minutes ago!) that they have finished shooting Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social and I can’t wait. This is the book that made me come out of the closet and tell people that I loved science fiction, which was unusual for a 20 yr old girl. It’s still unusual!

Looking at everything that happens, I understand Elon's idea to fly as far away as he can, and live there peacefully. It looks very relevant and reasonable indeed.
And the Moon is too close, for sure.

Self-sufficiency can certainly be taken too far, and it would be inefficient for every country to try to build its own sovereign tech stack. But I do wonder how the new geopolitical reality may shape technology choices. Maybe local-first has a role to play in de-risking the use of US cloud services?
