Indeed, that is the case. However the house is only 55 years old, so a freak storm destroying it isn't out of the question.

I have to clean the eaves of my house myself because nobody I hire will believe me that you can't point a pressure washer at the eaves without water getting inside the walls. "I'll just avoid the vents" doesn't wor

This argument would make more sense if Chinese companies were all going out of business due to their governments heavy investments in solar and batteries.

And nuclear is already in the 5-10% range in the US, so if we just maintained that level, we could get carbon free.

At temperate latitudes, summer/winter is a bigger deal than day/night. To the point where it makes sense to orient fixed panels tilted south and you still get a 2-3x difference in daily capacity between the seasons. Related is th

At 66F, I struggle to do job because my fingers go numb and I can't touch-type well. If others have that problem, a small heat-lamp (like for a reptile cage) can locally heat just the area above the keyboard cheaply.

I could not retrofit my house for efficient heating with $50k. To do so would likely be cheaper to completely tear it down and rebuild.

Given that attacks tend to improve, how likely is it we can see this used to e.g. make a webgl attack that can compromise a machine?

Having had access to the web from the mid '90s I find it weird to talk about "old" as if it were a unifying style. The accessibility for making a webpage meant that there was a cambrian explosion of different styles. If by &

I think you are missing the point: Some good ideas might need a whole lot of marketing to catch on. Some bad ideas might need very little. The quote merely argues that if you must deceive people for an idea to catch on, the idea is no

Victor Mono made it fairly late in my rounds, but the "@" character looked terrible as rendered in firefox. It looks a bit better in my terminal, which points out to a downside of this that others have observed.

Ended up with Hack, but it is missing the font I use[1]. I think I could live with hack. It's amazing to me how many of the fonts in this bracket have lower-case ell and one as nearly identical (both with a line at the base and some p

Ninja is possibly the best example of the "Do one thing and do it well" philosophy. All it does is execute commands based on a static build graph. It's syntax is simple enough that it's trivial to e.g. write a shell scr

I haven't tried my HN comments; I've only tried things spanning more than a few sentences and that I've put more effort into. I only discovered this when my son put an e-mail I wrote to his teacher that he was CC'd on i

What does it say about me that when I run my writing through one of those "detect if AI" tools I seldom see a value of less than 70% confidence that the writing was AI generated?

I've not spent significant time with border collies, but I'd say that if I had to rank, multiple species of corvids are smarter than german shepherds (a breed I'm more familiar with).

Your comment is ambiguous; in the event that anybody is interpreting this as "use your propane BBQ to heat your house" don't do that. You are highly likely to get a first-hand experience of CO toxicity.

First of all, I'm a Georgist, so I think you should be allowed to own your house, but rent the land indefinitely (and freely transfer your interest in renting the land). I'd like to see how free someone in China feels if they put

If you run an add saying "This van can outrun the cops" you're in trouble. Selling a van to a known bank-robber is fine though.
