Germany is also working on big batteries for years, but with a completely different strategy. A redox-flow battery with polymers and saline solution (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature18909) Here is a recent german article about it (http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/technik/brine4power-so-fu...)
This kind of batteries will hold 700 MWh.
* There is no usefull coding workflow. Thats how I do it: CTRL+o, enter filename, write some code, ESC, CTRL+ENTER, CTRL+UP, ENTER, oh an error, CTRL+o, enter filename, .... That is a little bit tedious.
* Without syntax highlighting, typos occur everywhere :)
* If there is an error in a script, the stacktrace shows a line number. But the editor does not have line numbers, so I have to count it manually. That sucks.
* Switching between modes would be nice. So switching from the mail view to the editor an back again (with the file and the mail opened) would be nice. A lot of time, there are some bits an pices in the mail which are relevant in the flight mode or in the editor (station names, some hints etc.)
* I've crashed the game and brought it to a point it can't be played any more. (https://p.fu86.de/1468240067-8920.png) (I think I've done ship.docs.msg1 = dofile(...), which caused the problem). Even if I wipe the savegame and use the stock config, the game crashed again after a few seconds.
What have I done?
Unfortunately the author still not be able to fullfill the goals :/ So, bookmark this and visit it in a year or two again.
The whole codebase is a mess and so damn slow that this is not usable at all (see https://aaron-mueller.de/blog/bestof-lively). The architecture however is pretty smart, but most of it are stolen from Squeak. So the projekt itself is not much more than a bad port of Squeak in spathetti JavaScript.
Some of our newer services need a up to date version of glibc and a lot of other dependencies CentOS can't provide. So we use docker to boot up Ubuntu 14.04 containers and run the services with special needs in them.
Another great thing is isolating scripts we don't trust. We allow our customers to run scripts of all kind on our servers --> inside Docker containers. So the customers can't mess with the hostsystem.

I am not a ycombinator staff member (I even have no own business or live in USA or speak English native) but this site is a friednly free-to-use service, not Paypal or Starbucks where you can blame the staff for delivering the coffee too hot.
Is this just a relict from the past or is this a showstopper for me? (I use an Debian-based system)
