Understood. I think it is still useful to have a small core base that you can read and understand and adapt if you want to. Don't like the GUI open file dialogs? Someone did a text based interface:
I do use this on OS X and agree that it does not look quite 'native'. It might be possible to port Textadept to be fully native. Scite, which uses the same Scintilla engine, is available as a native OS X app.
It might also be possible to tweak the GTK layouts for the OS X version.
The Windows version is quite portable if you manually set the .textadept home to your USB stick. A while ago I wrote a Portable Apps launcher [1] that did that automatically for you, haven't used it in quite a while though. (I wrote this before GTK was included in the Windows package.)
> Also, the power network is still very "former East - former West" built, which is not helping. We had 3 years ago a blackout of the West while the East (which includes the part with most of the windmills) was still up.
You're right that the former east has its "own" grid operator [1], but there is much more installed wind power in the north west[2].
Starting next year there will be an extra management bonus in Germany if the wind park is remote controllable. (There are two ways to sell wind energy in Germany, just sell it as it is produced (fixed feed-in-tariffs, EEG) or trade it. In the latter case it makes sense to stop your wind park as prices become negative.)
As far as I know DDG uses mainly the BOSS API. When I tested the BOSS API for http://kligl.com I found that the reported result count was consistently lower for BOSS compared with the (still) free Bing API, even though the underlying data is the same. That's probably why it is not reported on DDG.
Both only give you the first 1000 results max so it makes no difference in practice.
