A word of caution:
It's worth factoring in battery depreciation. That 7p→15p arbitrage isn’t "free" profit: you pay round-trip losses and you burn cycle life. If you assume ~£X installed, ~Y usable kWh, ~Z cycles to 70–80% capacity, the wear cost alone is often several pence per kWh throughput, which can wipe out most of the spread.
Interesting. It seems that the book assumes its audience is exclusively male without explicitly stating it. Might be a fit here for Hacker News, but even that assumption is already reinforcing gender biases.
This this this. You can ask it to write a test. You can ask it to fix it, if the test does not pass. You can ask it to check whether the code it wrote makes sense, and it will surely find most times that there is something to improve. Urgh, it's not "one prompt and done".
What I would like to highlight is that it's still quite an achievement to be able at all to authenticate users with dozens of different APIs. Could it be better? Sure. Could it be worse? So much. Just imagine everyone would be cooking completely there own thing, or there being fractions or competing "standards".
Using the term "female" to describe a woman can be perceived as reductive and dehumanizing because it reduces her to a biological category. By using the term "woman," the focus is shifted from her biological characteristics to her identity as a person, which is a more respectful and accurate way of addressing her.
Worth noting is that there is no equivalent term to "female" when referring to men, who are almost always referred to as "men." This is because there is an underlying cultural assumption that men are the default and women are the exception. While the use of the word "female" to describe a woman is not inherently wrong, using the term "woman" is more accurate and respectful, and nobody would use the term "male" to describe a man in the same way.
> Working from home may offer more distractions by chores, family, network issues. Do those little things add up to meaningful productivity differences?
When you say "more", you have to compare both sides. Working in an office "distracts" me with noise, questions by others, spontaneous meetings, socializing in general, as well as other interruptions. I find it always baffling that in such arguments, the office is per default fine, and it's always remote which is the culprit.
Sounds like you are suggesting First-Party Isolation (FPI) which you can enable in Firefox. Don't know what the state of it is, seems to be off by default, or depending on the tracking protection setting.
I like that thinking. It also became clear to me when moving. You can actually sell good furniture that you don't want anymore, and get quite some money back. And if you are considerate in which furniture you buy, you can assume you'll also get money for it, should you not need it anymore.
Thus for example, a purchase of a $2000 designer table might not be that huge, if you use it 5 years and get $1500 for it afterwards, you only paid $100 per year to have the table you wanted.

We are looking for a data engineer experiences in JavaScript to join our team remotely. Existing work permit in Germany is required.
You will be responsible for extracting, and ingesting data using web crawling and other tools; improving crawl/scrape analysis, reports and data management; parsing data.
I feel like the other way around it's also pretty bad, if not worse.
Technical things written in, or translated to, German sound so boring and stiff that you want to immediately run away.
> Without a class or some system that keeps some bookkeeping data around with methods, every function has to have that bookkeeping state passed in as a handle, and all of a sudden all functions need to know something about how setup works, as opposed to what it does.
Classes make so much sense for me in this space, that I can hardly see why people would defend not using them.
Additional to your points, having things in classes with clear interfaces makes it possible to easily integrate new underlying functionality without changing the contract. For example you only store things on S3, have a nice class with store methods and so on. You can just add another different storage backend. How would you do that using functions only? If they also need to take care of setup? A nightmare.
