Relevant to the parent here, I prefer to use a link because it is more commonly expected and it gives me the opportunity to refer to a quality source for an in-depth explanation of what I'm referencing. It is especially useful when wri

One thing I've seen Apple do more and more in recent times is the concept of introducing something for the good of the user with sometimes little regard to the impact shouldered by developers or businesses. Sometimes they're small

For consumers, M-DISC media for DVD/Blu-ray might be about the best there is for long term storage.[1] In the enterprise/experimental world there are things like Microsoft Project Silica[2][3] where they are storing data on quartz

I believe a standard gas water heater is about 78% efficient, for a net gain of 18%. It does generate condensate, but since my gas furnace is near by I was able to set it up to use the same drainage system. The unit was about $2500, versus

When my water heater last needed replacing I went and got a Propane Condensing Gas Tank water heater[1]. It was a bit expensive up front, but at 96% efficiency I thought I would make up the difference on gas while enjoying the performance.

Completely agreed! A key portion of managing these platforms is understanding what should NOT go in them. Because the products are designed for low or no code development they are inherently limited in what they are capable of doing. This

As someone who has been managing Low Code/No Code on a large scale for a major enterprise from before this became buzzword soup, I can categorically state that the benefits are real. HN isn't the intended market here, and that dis

I think it is good for Microsoft and others to begin experimenting with changing the default work arrangement. This may give them a significant advantage moving forward. By 2030 all "baby boomers" will be older than 65. These pe

I haven't done real calculations, but on the whole this is pretty low impact and doesn't require much extra effort or any special trips. We rinse the bottles/cans whenever we are doing other dishes. We throw them into a bin

I'm looking for HN to provide me some perspective outside of my little bubble here. I've only ever lived in states that have had bottle deposits. I've been feeding these cans/bottles back into the redemption machines si

The trouble with that is to a certain extent we're just kicking the can down the road. Modern Tesla vehicles have more range than older ones, yet people still charge modern ones to 100% for various reasons. The idea here is to leverag

The trouble spot with Superchargers is usually the end of the charge, not the beginning. The batteries can usually absorb energy rather quickly when at a low rate of charge. What is really painful is the last 10% where the charge rate dro

You might want to look into Quick Base.[1] It is actually the little known elder statesman in this space and includes a lot of features Airtable doesn't currently support. Specific to this thread, one of them is Webhooks.[2] And whi

I would suggest taking look at Quick Base [1]. We've been using it for years and I've found it hits the sweet spot for us in the complex spreadsheet/light database space. I've been following Airtable for a while and I ha

The story in the article is actually from 2002. The irony here is that the Kit Kat has gotten better than the rest of Hershey's lineup through attrition since that time. In 2008 Hershey started taking the cocoa butter out of many of t

It's been YEARS since I've seen that video last. God bless YouTube :-). A guy named Adam Bailey, who did a pretty good look at the Atari Landfill site in the mid-2000s, approached the band about the video. While the video is cool, it is a

Back around 2006 a man by the name of Adam Bailey did a pretty in-depth look into the Atari landfill. The site appears to be gone now, but the Wayback Machine looks like it has a full copy. http://web.archive.org/web/20070307122420/http:/

The one part I do not understand about all of this comes when you have a company with multiple locations and work that crosses locations. Say you have east coast and west coast facilities. If people only worked within their local facility,
