There's also this ultrasound company that sells lab equipment, but has a cold brewing via sonification page as well https://www.hielscher.com/ultrasonic-extraction-of-caffeine-...

any spots in mind? I never know where to go search

> Clean energy advocates point to batteries as a solution to renewables’ intermittent nature

Not just batteries, but an efficient grid that uses all the resources in an optimal manner. This was always the goal in creating microgrids, to be able to not rely on the main grid unless required, and when required the main grid would be able to perhaps use another microgrid's resources.

any visa sponsorship?

I currently do a lot of backend work building tools required for a power company to operate within a smart grid with distributed energy resources. The idea is to efficiently manage microgrids so then we can build towards a more efficient national grid.

I got my current job from there 3 years ago, started my freelancing career, then moved to New Zealand to work full time

per month? pretty amazing

what's the cost on something like this?

quite interested to hear more, already doing work in this space

ah that's awesome, been following the tech blog for awhile now. I assume since the office is new, you aren't sponsoring visas? I work in the NZ energy market and this opportunity sounds interesting

willing to sponsor a visa?

is this office new? Didn't realise Octopus operated outside of the UK

luckily ours was arduino-ish and pretty simple to program. But we had to built everything since it was more of a mechanical + electrical design class, so there was lots of machine shop time

This is great, I did a robotics course in uni that was essentially this. We never took it further than PID control though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDqfKm4Ovcg

That was a fun time in uni

super neat stuff, I visited their offices recently and was really impressed by what they were doing. From what I can tell, everything was done in house

as an avid NHL fan, so many of the NHL stories brought tears to my eyes. Also never though I'd see this on HN

do you have any blog posts or writing about the graphql stitching part, mostly curious about the architecture? I've just recently started looking at and using graphql and your usage of it seems pretty neat. It seems like it's allowed you to keep business requirements of the WP GUI but given a lot more freedom in terms of API extension

pretty neat, but is this project active?

Awesome to see companies tackling this emerging energy problem. Really excited to see what comes of this, there is lots that can be done in terms of demand response and creating more efficient grids.

how long does it take for react to make sense?

Wish I was in the city for the July 28th event, awesome work

that was the last podcast I listened to, and it was so informative. As I've grown older I've definitely been prioritising my sleep more. While in school I was getting maybe 6h on average for 4y, but now I aim for 8 or 9h of sleep.

Listen y'all it's sabotage

the grammar of data.table is a bit similar to SQL, and I find that it's easier to quickly write something vs piping in dplyr

thanks! registered in the course and checking it out now

what's the best resource to start building and learning?

pretty amazing surfing on the island at Tofino, but that's a bit more of a trek. Also diving as well

this only applies if your project can be organised within Django's requirements though right? I use Flask and Django a bit but it usually depends on how "cookie cutter" the project scope is

are batteries (or some sort of storage) in the infrastructure plan for the future?

love what you guys do
