Tarsnap is great. I love supporting it.

you can go as high as 4 in most heat pumps. Obviously, it strongly depends on the outside temperature. But if it's above 4 degrees C, you should be fine.

Certainly. I heat a small flat (~35 m2) using just a AC unit and it works great: low costs, very comfortable. The only problem is increased dryness of the air. But for a bigger place the setup is costly: you either need a couple units or a

I think demand is far greater than what is currently visible, but the price is still way to high. I'd move to electric heat in a heartbeat, but it's 2-3 times more expensive than coal, natural gas or oil (those are the most popula

I'm not sure. In a big city owning a car is a headache. Parking, insurance, traffic jams. I would switch to a per-mile-rent if it was affordable. Electric, self driving cars will be cheaper than people.

I had to send more than 500 emails / day. So i switched over to FastMail. It works well, and i like having unlimited aliases that i can kill at any moment. But there's no way of disabling deleting messages. I wanted to be extra su

I'm using ouicards[0] in my project (example: [1]). First thing i did was writing a 'thank you' email to the author. They saved me many hours and gave me a jump start with design, which is always the most difficult thing for

You cannot cheat biology with feminism or education. Some things are impossible to change overnight, regardless of the social pressure or guilt. Men are attracted to fit, young females. Maybe because women in the past tended to pick not the

God, i love human ingenuity. You are real engineers. I only have experience doing real high level stuff -- the easy parts, so i didn't follow most of the text. It's impressive that there are people who understand the boxes we all

Well, i can see a point in continuous R&D. Maybe they could improve something else beside efficiency? Like size, weight, cost? Let them study all the things!

Dropbox is cool and all, but i hate their pricing model. I just want to keep about 50-100 GB there (i don't hoard stuff). I don't wanna pay $10 / month for that. At backblaze i pay less than $0.5 / month. I could pay qu

Sorry, but American bread (at least on West Coast) is really bad. Maybe you can find something edible somewhere, but most of the shops carry only the worst of worst IMO. In Europe (not including UK) the quality is like night and day. I&#x2

Why isn't it? I'm sure Google can make well behaved ads that bring them lots of money. Implementing this would make it even harder for any competition to get a foothold into the market. Now a google ad is treated (by customers wit

There arent that many novel scenarios on the road. Sure, Google can't program around the possibility of an airplane falling down on you, but how often does that happen? It doesn't have to be perfect. Just very good and improving.

I'm guessing that's the reason they are doing a moon mission. Have to give them hope, have to jump start the economy. Can't saw trousers for eternity, can they? Educated people will continue fleeing if nothing is done to keep

Google could invest a bit more money in R&D. They sit on awesome pile of money and yet aren't a significant player in energy. Why? Not smart enough? Don't think so. Oh, i forgot. Google is here to make money. They might write

I think you forgot that while Americans can and should save (a megawatthour ISN'T, or at least shouldn't be the average per month per house, vide the article), the rest of the world is way, way behind. Are you telling Indians or A

Cheers from another happy "Paczkomat" customer. When i shop online (and i do it a lot) i try to choose sellers who provide "paczkomat" [0] as a mailing option. A bit cheaper, much more convenient and never have to wait

I like how the reporter speaks Chinese. Usually it's english only, which i suppose is translated off screen for the local being interviewed. I don't watch much BBC so i don't know if that changed lately. It's a change fo

Minus the time to do it yourself? 20 minutes @ $40/hour * 52 weeks ~ $700 year.

Dude, that was awesome. Thanks a lot! I haven't had a book this good in some weeks. Cheers!

Yeah, but why? Pipes are NEVER a performance issue for me. Maybe you have some very tricky use cases, but for 99.95% of users it doesn't matter. Almost always you'll loose more time on I/O than on pipe processing.

Not so sure about phones being status symbols. Maybe in some circles, but i have trouble telling brands, models and makes. Smartphones look very alike, small black, no buttons, the same layout. It's easier to spot the difference when s

Spotify is the only content provider i pay for gladly, due to their Family accounts and Discover Weekly. I listen to music 5-6h a day now, all for dirt cheap (less than $2/month/person). I wish somebody would do the same for video

yeah, i loved Majesty. You couldn't force anybody to do anything. That way it was more chaotic. Many times you could have won quickly if only the units obeyed. But they didn't ;)

That seems like a silly perspective. Can't handle even reasonable criticism? Maybe you're the problem. America has this huge ego, where some of you guys feel "the best". It's a third world country, seriously. Don&#x
