To save anyone the few minutes it took me to figure out what this means: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14120362 A black bar (mourning band) is sometimes added to the top of HN when an industry figure dies.

The only place I have ever seen a "next" link for an RSS feed is WordPress. Sort of a pagination thing you can do with the URL.

This is not normal. I highly recommend some alterations to your workflow/notification settings/something. You should not spend your whole day getting stressed out by email toasts.

Roughly $1 to use one watt for a year. 14 watt bulb takes $14 to light for a year. Varies with electric rates of course, but this is still a useful estimate.

I would not expect any true innovation to come from companies such as 1Password or Bitwarden. They make money off authentication being so craapy that an entire class of applications has sprung up around it. They will not innovate themselves

These seem to have become much less common. I'm guessing better filtering in devices themselves and possibly better cable construction?

In my 20s I used to think it was awesome to have all the same cheap white tube socks, just a drawer full of them that I didn't have to pair. Then somehow I got interested in merino wool socks and liked them. So eventually (expensive!

A firewall can be run "in-line" and not have IP addresses on the interfaces. On a Palo Alto firewall this would be a "virtual wire", and "transparent firewall" or "bridging firewall" would be other c

I'm thinking most of those are customer-owned cooperatives, not employee-owned. Big difference.

Coolant supply and return, both fully insulated. And condensate drain line, and power wires, and control wires. Do-able, but more complex than one might initially think.

More technically it would be a coefficient of performance of 4, which in some frames of reference is like 400% efficiency.

Put a vapor barrier inside of the insulation--this is very typical in any cold climate construction. Then humidity inside doesn't matter, because it never touches a cold surface.

"Suggested" version on F-Droid is an older one, but you can choose to update to a newer one way at the bottom under Versions. Edit: I updated my repositories (pull down on main screen) and now 4.3.5 is the Suggested version.

Debian 11 VMs that I was setting up last week were getting non-privacy SLAAC addresses. So I am skeptical of how common it is to default to privacy addresses.

Interesting how your list focuses on worker-owned cooperatives. I had mostly thought about customer-owned cooperatives up until this point. Most of my exposure is with customer-owned ones, perhaps due to living in an agricultural area (gr

In the US I believe these complex shapes are one way of making a large house have a less bulky appearance. An enormous box can be ungainly.

Yes, storage is hugely expensive. A barrel of oil is about 1,700 kWh. If we have an optimistic cost ( https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2022/utility-scale_battery_... ) of $300 per kWH capacity that is $510,000. Di

In general, it would be because they can skip "things" that are required by a standard to support a wide variety of use cases, yet unnecessary for their specific use case. Skipped steps plausibly leads to higher performance.

Total cost of running the department for a year, divided by the number of callouts. Possibly weight the callout types depending on approximate resources consumed. Though I am fully in support of just letting the house burn.

They seem much less common than they used to be. More people have garages, and modern vehicles will easily start down to - 15F maybe. I would much rather have a battery jump pack since a weak battery is the most likely problem. Though those

Generally true, but could be relevant for calculating heat loss rates of cabin or battery. Only when parked I guess, as air velocity due to driving would typically be much greater.
