the video you mentioned, which everyone reading this should watch when it makes it over to Youtube

Ah, I'd looked to see if it had the First icon before mentioning it but it looks like he never uses the tags. For others, we're talking about How Fish Survive Hydro Turbines on Nebula (you can watch without an account).

Anyway, thanks for the other video, I'll watch it soon. It makes sense that sediment is a trickier problem than fish since, unlike fish, sediment isn't actively trying to get anywhere. When I first posted, I was imagining something like a conveyor belt, or perhaps pipes (either without turbines or ones pushing downstream) low down on the dam.

Huh, I've just come from watching Practical Engineering's How Fish Survive Hydro Turbines video - so I'm confident that if they cared they could resolve this.

Longer means you're more likely to be able to ride out a power cut, and gives you more options if you want/need to complete something more involved than saving and shutting down.

It's a somewhat similar story there, although the devs aren't as difficult. Mbin is a fork and seems to be the codebase with the brightest future.

A general tip on buying UPSes: look for second hand ones - people often don't realise you can just replace the battery in them (or can't be bothered) so you can get fancier/larger ones very cheap.

That reminds me of Netflix's Chaos Monkey (basically in office hours this tool will randomly kill stuff).

They might get some more uptake if they had some examples or a more concise explanation than just linking to the RFC (aside from the tutorial in French).

The article mentions that "Chrome [has a] more restrictive Manifest 3 plugin API", but doesn't go into any examples, when this one is the main one (and why Google brought in manifest v3 at all).

I forgot about this version of the meme format - good to get some variety.

“Quest was originally designed as a demonstration project to prove (carbon capture) technology and overall has met or exceeded our expectations,” said Shell

So they knew it wouldn't work, but they got the government to subsidise it at least.

Sorry, I was just joking; it's clearly a typo and I don't think anyone misunderstood (or maybe even noticed).
