Also, there's this concept of thermal mass - once you heat up you walls, floors, furniture, etc, they retain it. If you keep on letting your house cool down and then heating it up again, you basically lose that stored heat and need to

> Not a problem in Covid times. But it's possible to turn the heat up when you have guests, no? Or run a space heater in the living room when they're around? Sure, if you're considerate enough to do that! My dad wasn'

No thank you. I grew up in a house with a dad who fully bought into the "wear a sweater" philosophy. He'd make us go around all winter wearing two sweaters, a hat, and shoes indoors, and I still froze. My nose ran constantly

China is indeed doing most of the damage, but you may not realize that they're actually aware of it and they do care. China is also doing the most research into recycling and sustainability and making the most progress. It's a big

We've been hearing about male suicide rates for years. The female suicide rate is the story because it's different.

Two people working together can generate more wealth than one person working alone. It's not a controversial concept.

Something you may not have considered - in countries where public servants are paid poorly, the result is widespread government corruption. In Nicaragua, for example, the police are so badly underfunded that if you want their help, you may

Is it out of whack? San Francisco has one of the highest costs of living in the country - I'd say the pay is correct in that it allows those middle-class professionals to live comfortably in the city where they work.

It's a tradeoff they've made. Allowing the plugin store to be a free-for-all creates a very low barrier for entry, and the marketplace is thriving and well populated as a result. They've added metrics you can use to assess qu

I worked at WordPress for half a year, and I'm no expert, but the code reviews there were more intense than any I've ever experienced. Every line of code gets reviewed before it gets committed, and if the commit is longer than 20

I'd say it's very clearly written. If you don't understand how the words are being used, you might struggle to grasp it.

Yeah, we were getting crazy good results from our first $1000 of ad spend! Unfortunately diminishing returns set in pretty quickly after that, haha, but we had some winning strategies.

Posts in our company's page or on our own walls gave us the best clickthrough, and we did a lot of grinding to build up our audience there. Facebook ads did well also, we would pay about 30c/click and something like 10% of those t

So worth it. I got PHPStorm when I started working at Automattic. I'd been developing in PHP for several years at that point, and didn't see the point in an IDE. But my previous job had been a low-end local company. At Automattic,

You're making a pretty big leap of assumption here. - he didn't say that he had biological kids - the step daughter is his own daughter, they aren't two different things - he didn't say that if he does have biological ki

Passive voice is actually essential sometimes - for instance when you're editing someone's work or reviewing their code. "X can be changed to y" comes across a lot softer than "you should change x to y", and is

Probably, but from experience, a cloth mask is enough to stop your throat from burning if you're far enough away from the epicenter.

I think one of the highest ROI things you could do would be to create a free program for disadvantaged kids - just a place where they can come and exist, for free, without anyone hassling them. If they can also get enrichment activities, pl

That was fun. I'm more tone deaf than 96% of people, it seems. Not shocking because I'm effectively deaf and have a cochlear implant. The natural hearing in my other ear couldn't hear the tones at all.

In Denmark it's so prevalent that it's codified as Jante's Law. It's not a prescriptive law, despite the way it's phrased. It's more descriptive, a satirical summary of the way Danes think of ambitious people.
