- lgregg parentI think they might have deeper issues still with their outage. I just got an email and retroactive charge for something I returned months ago and shows as returned on their own orders portal. The link in their transactional email also links to a totally different product.
- Yeah, but that isn't really an apples to apples comparison. Texas for example had ~400 heat deaths in 2024 depending on where you look but in 2023 it was 334 or 563 depending on your criteria [1].
>But I want to put it into perspective. In 2024, ~62,800 people in Europe died to heat-related events.
Most of these deaths are not because of electrification but the fact that homes are built out of bricks and mortar and become ovens with heat waves that get hotter each year and ~10% to ~20% [2] of homes in Europe have air conditioning meanwhile ~95% [3] of homes have air conditioning. Your apples to oranges comparison mostly shows how Europe is generically unprepared for climate adaption (specifically heat resilience) and has nothing to do with electrification stability.

- I think most frameworks/languages swing in and out of the lime light. Using Ruby as an example, it was great then got really hot, then as you said Python got the data science boost and moved a lot of people there. I'm curious if Matz makes good on his promise to 3x Ruby that will result in Ruby getting some more data science libraries.
That said, last I checked regarding performance Rails and Django were pretty much neck and neck with a negligible difference with rails being very slightly faster (iirc).
I think also a big reason why Ruby is feature so heavily in this list is because of it's focus of developer productivity. It's a nice mesh of flexibility and convention. Generally all projects are setup and organized the same but you can still write a conditional if statement a dozen ways. Compared to my personal experience working with Django and Python are the woes of getting everything configured and setup for each project which is frankly a pita. Also, Python is fairly regimented on a lot of flexibility which has its perks too.
