I am putting my efforts into making that not be true, at least for something "close enough" to peak comfort/efficiency/whatevs for any nominal shortfall not to matter in real life. The obsessives amongst us can continue

This item was flagged and I vouched for it when it was half-way down the new page, and it seems to have done OK. The monstorous secret cabal has failed again.

Even if the coldest wall is still the exterior one (it should be, thermodynamically), best maintaining comfort in the room need no longer be by pumping heat out through that wall (or window) to reduce thermal gradients in the rest of the ro

I'm really confused about (not complaining, just not understanding) the downvotes. These are statements of neutral fact, and the whole process is described in some detail on my site, for each room that we retrofitted. I don't unde

The windows all still open, but in winter we have (nearly) enough MHRV (Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation) not to need to ventilate directly, eg see: https://www.earth.org.uk/MHRV-mechanical-heat-recovery-venti...

I moved all my radiators away from under windows (and upgraded the windows to triple glazing) to avoid maximising the temperature differential and energy loss through the wall under the windows, while eliminating the cool drafts that the un

This is a whole research topic, my PhD in fact! FWIW I run my heat pump intermittently and with locally-smart TRVs that get to call for heat centrally, and a weather compensation only flow temperature curve, and it WORKSFORME! https:/

I don't see any need to "finally" anything. I have done a number of start-ups, enough to retire on though none spectacular, and probably fewer than you depending on how one counts them. I am doing a PhD part time, and runnin

So over-engineered that I cannot even see them until I enable multiple rounds of JavaScript. And the colour scheme ignores my preferences and hurts my eyes. I backed right out of whatever that was.

That honeymoon just really hasn't been what is claimed. For example, I hear senders confidently claiming that they know what their open percentage is, then I point out not for any even vaguely security conscious user. MPP obscures in

As others have said, avoid startup theatre and do what actually needs doing within your capabilities and the hours (eg owl/lark) that work for you and your colleagues. When I was 18 and running a business on the side while an undergrad

Almost no one pays attention to 429 for general Web pages. Eg on an RSS file Googlebot speeds up repolling. Amazon RSS feed puller does pay some attention to 429. 503 is at least apparently understood by more crawlers/bots, but the

I agree. This is training customers to reply to unsolicited emails with important security-sensitive data. I was CTO of a fintech virtual VISA card issuer. I would have vetoed any such campaign for us for that reason.
