Unfortunately due to the way GitHub defaults to creating prs in the parent fork, I have accidentally created a few invalid prs in asahi before I was ready, and now am banned from creating a good upstream one
That makes it worse! A euro is worth about 10% more than a dollar.
Ireland has a lot of oil in their power mix from what I'm seeing, so that makes a bit of sense.
Maybe the high power cost is why they're deploying ~600GWh of new wind capacity per year for the last 15 years. Because at those rates the wholesale prices should be able to subsidize a lot of loans.
We don't measure capacity in GWh, we measure it in GW. And if Ireland had 600GW of wind, their entire island would be surrounded by a forest of windmills. Also, Ireland lacks any energy storage so none of that wind can be used for baseload, only variable load.
I cannot even express how much hatred I have for bad charts, and getting tricked by one anyway when I go in already expecting it to be lying to me is incandescently indescribable.
On Wikipedia there's a very progressive-looking chart that is measuring in TWh/year and going up up up. And as you say,
>Ireland lacks any energy storage so none of that wind can be used for baseload
You always measure baseload in GW or if you're fancy, TW.
So what that chart is really saying is that Wind is adding on average about 70 KW of capacity per year, when amortized over 24 hours. Which is probably on the order of an additional .3GW of capacity per year when the sun is shining and bupkis the rest of the time.
Although given how overcast that region is, maybe measuring solar in TWh/year is a bit excusable, and then they end up measuring everything else that way?
Ireland doesn't use oil for generation these days; the last oil plant closed a while back. We use a lot of _gas_, which is under a lot of price pressure at the moment.
I don't mind doing technical tests but I hate technical interviews (where people have to watch me type) really if you want to know what kind of code I can produce look at my github repos, there is easily 100-200k lines of code
I am a backend engineer with over 25 years of experience in almost every language at this point, but I have been mainly dealing with Go/Typescript for the last 5 years, I have a million projects and an absolute ton of code online
A good example of a project is https://flags.gg which is a multi-tenant/project/agent/environment system which has language support in Swift/Kotlin/PHP/Ruby/Rust/Go/React and is in use in things like
https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning system that has a website written in typescript/react and an iOS app written in Swift (hence the language support) which exists on the App Store, and an Android app written in Kotlin (again hence the language support) which will/should be in the play store by the end of next week (been through testing already just waiting for play store approval)
I would prefer not to do technical tests, you don't ask a surgeon with 20 years experience to cut someone up, you accept that yes they know how to do simple things like how to write a for loop (to stretch the analogy) as I have said I have hundreds of thousands of lines of code online if you want to check out my code
Software engineer for 20 years worked for very large and very small companies, willing to do 1-2 days a week in London, I have worked with pretty much every language at this point it seems, but always willing to learn more
I have various side projects
https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning tool to track what companies I have applied for, what stage they are at, have I heard back anything, working both offline (in browser localstorage) and signed in to allow multiple machines (open for anyone to use)
https://flags.gg which is a feature flag system that is multi-tenant, multi-project, multi-environment, multi-agent (e.g. development backend on a local machine)
