@NuanceRhymesWithOrange there's even worse shit in #EmbeddedSystems espechally in #CriticalInfrastructure like #electricalGrids and #MedicalIT...

I really wished I could go deeper but then I'd violate multiple #NDAs and ruin my reputation for being discrete...

#Sharing: These days, lots of people are looking for cleaner sources of #heat and more #efficient ways to #share it, so #districtenergy is becoming sexy again. Among other things, it’s a great way for #cities to meet their #carbongoals without overburdening their #electricalgrids.

What's the deal with district energy?

District energy -- in which a group of buildings share a common source of heating & cooling -- dates back at least to the Roman Empire, but the clean-energy transition has brought this extremely clean & efficient arrangement to the forefront. I talk with an expert about how it works & where to find it.
