Parent didn’t say develop, they said use. 80 acres of forest can be used as open space and not developed at all.
I think the spirit of parent comment was that if you have 80 acres of forest, but you live somewhere else and never set foot in it…well, maybe that land could be better used/enjoyed.
If you live on/near it, and enjoy it for some purpose other than strictly as an investment, that seems like you’re utilizing it.

200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.
Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I’d be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I’m sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.
Per the Linux kernel coding style:
Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.
Mac at work. Yabai+sketchybar is no i3wm replacement, but it works ok.
My .zshrc is basically the same as I use on my personal computers, and aside from a few coreutils differences it…kinda just works. I have apt aliased to brew so I can feel more at home.
Stock terminal works fine—I use xterm on Linux, so I’m used to relying on tmux for nice features anyway.
Basically, I miss the window manager, but practically speaking that’s a about it. (I obviously have xscreensaver installed!)
nc is useful. For example: if you have a disk image downloaded on computer A but want to write it to an SD card on computer B, you can run something like
user@B: nc -l 1234 | pv > /dev/$sdcard
And
user@A: nc B.local 1234 < /path/to/image.img
(I may have syntax messed up–also don’t transfer sensitive information this way!)
Similarly, no need to store a compressed file if you’re going to uncompress it as soon as you download it—just pipe wget or curl to tar or xz or whatever.
I once burnt a CD of a Linux ISO by wgeting directly to cdrecord. It was actually kinda useful because it was on a laptop that was running out of HD space. Luckily the University Internet was fast and the CD was successfully burnt :)
I’m a ~/tmp man myself.
Maybe not a service in the typical sense, but setting up your router+server to route your home network traffic through a VPN is a fun project.
My router (MikroTik) supports WireGuard, so I can use it with Mullvad for the whole house—but wg is demanding and it’s a slow router, so while it can NAT at ~1Gbps, it can’t do WireGuard at more than ~90Mbps. So, I set up WireGuard/Mullvad on a little SBC with a fast processor, and have my router use that instead. Using policy based routing and/or mangling, I can have different VLANs/subnets/individual hosts selectively routed through the VPN.
It’s a fun exercise, not sure I implemented it in a smart way, but it works :)
It doesn’t change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.
I would recommend PoE security cameras. You probably want support for RTSP / ONVIF.
I have some Amcrest cameras talking to Frigate. It is completely local—cameras on a separate VLAN that can’t talk to the Internet, footage is recorded on a server running Frigate. Works very well for me. No vendor lock-in is also nice!
640k 780k ought to be enough for anybody…
I know right? What a poser!

If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.
Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)—it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.
A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science—these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.
I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.
All of this is besides the point of course—our student loan system shouldn’t disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.
I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.
If that’s not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

This is actually the one that I would agree with (edit: see below), if the difference is “professional” vs. “academic.” I certainly wouldn’t call a natural science degree professional, and if you’re in a research institution studying some form of engineering I’d probably put you in the same category. Just my experience/opinion though (and the rest of the exclusions are super stupid, I agree).
Edit: from the replies, this is referring to Professional Engineering; in my corner of the world, “Engineer” is an overloaded term that generally means electrical, mechanical, software, and sometimes computer engineer. My comment was referring to these engineers, who are rarely licensed and study alongside scientists in school. I completely agree with parent in the context of “professional engineering” (I mean…it’s right there in the name…).
If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it’s Oracle, so…).
Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.
This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.
Not sure how much merit it has, but it’s kinda interesting.
