Heat loss/gain is proportional to internal-external delta T (and fabric U or R values, and ventilation). In winter, allowing for time to warm up when you next expect to be there, you should consider the lowest temperature that will avo

What an unkind and irrational put-down! Please don't do this to other people. You need good ideas AND 'luck' amongst many other things to have an idea 'work'.

Suggested a similar thing to the energy minister in the UK ~2009, but officials nixed it: https://www.earth.org.uk/note-on-G83-lite.html

Sometimes backing off and giving yourself even more of a break may be the best way to give good ideas a chance to hit. Also maybe go along to local inventors' clubs, uni and business seminars, and other things that might set new though

Almost no software projects are documented as well as they reasonably could be because on the whole programmers don't like writing stuff up, sadly. Also the projects may not be systematically documented in places where you might easil

Some open source projects will have at least some such docs available. Ours (OpenTRV) does.

This goes along with something I read recently which also seems to ring true: feeling entitled to be socially superior to at least some others, ie without in anyway earning it.

So as to avoid accidentally returning a random (bad) status code for the whole process in the case where no explicitly return is coded. Equivalent to allowing a void return type in C I guess, but maybe less smelly given that the process d

Not quite . (I run Linux headless servers, and keep 'AI' off those too, except my 'AI' code!)

"Never" is too long a time for that to be a meaningful question. Maybe dial back the hype a bit and ask something more specific and/or numeric?

Accepting the macOS 15.3 update reenabled 'Apple Intelligence' even though I had explicitly disabled it previously, so guess what I did first?

I am fairly confident that thinking and creative humans will not be swept away, but may change the things that they do, eg move up the abstraction stack, some of the time. (I will still be hacking shell scripts on my RPis and successors by
