This resonates and I would add, on the theme of managing complexity higher up in this sub thread, it’s rewarding to reduce entropy locally. Like, yes the complexity is overwhelming and a significant, even singular challenge — and also the i

It’s a wall furnace in the center of the apartment, I guess it blows via convection, outward on both sides of the wall. These heaters are super common in California, and some larger homes have multiple of them. I assume they’re not as effic

Googling tells me it’s “a pilot millivolt system”. I guess the downside of this design is that the pilot* is always lit, consuming a certain amount of fuel. Neat old quick start guide for a similar thermostat: http://nebula.wsimg

Volvo sells a car with an optional feature that has hardware and software components. If you can prove that the hardware or software is “unreasonably dangerous” in design or implementation, you may have standing to sue Volvo. Comma sells on

The difference is that Volvo does not disclaim liability.

In fact we have the opposite, where MetroMile advertises lower premiums, while conveniently occupying your ODB2 port, without providing pass-through, preventing the use of Comma’s product (this honestly makes me consider switching from Geic

A significant annoyance is that permissions cannot be encapsulated within a database but are global to the instance, requiring extra consideration at every step, from the very logic of your migrations, to how you dump/restore.

Permissions management in Postgres is indeed a pain.

A few years ago GH actually had a fairly transparent status page that displayed error rates across components over narrow timeslices. I guess they canned it not too long after their $100M a16z raise.

Oh for sure, compared to pills (even OTC stuff with significant hangover effects like Benadryl or Nyquil), it absolutely deserves serious consideration. I would recommend trying melatonin, chamomile tea, and simple mental exercises (eg. cou

Thanks for clarifying. May I ask, where do you stand on prop 13?

Would you see my sibling comment? What about your experience do you think caused to conclude that losing sleep is justified to meet a deadline, when others have reached the opposite conclusion?

I worked very closely with somebody when we were both about 10 years out of college. Unlike you and I, she still believed that “cramming” by staying up late to meet a deadline was a worthwhile strategy. I shared my reasoning with her, and n

Weed is a fairly heavy-handed solution IMO. It’s likely to help with insomnia, but also to have significant side effects. Many people enjoy some of the side effects, which is great. But many do not, which makes it hard to recommend generall
