One night at -40 when the heat pump is shut off is enough to freeze pipes and cause serious damage.

I suppose this doesn’t surprise me anymore. Our current government has a very heavy legislative hand and has a certain self-righteous and controlling tendencies. It borderlines on micromanagement and has led to massive government expansion.

A huge chunk of canadas population in Quebec, Ontario, prairies, and BC see -20 for weeks on end. -40 is more rare but happens every year. Huge chunks of the mid-western USA see those as well. At -30 my furnace is basically on continuously.

I’ll ignore the religious part of you statement because I think it’s posed in bad faith (bad pun). Programmers aren’t rational in the slightest. How many tech leads and senior engineers write bad code and design bad systems and behave compl

I’m wondering the same myself. Is MQTT a winner and how many companies are really managing their own fleets versus selling end devices that connect to some hub via zigbee/thread/wifi like the matter model. I suppose unless you sel

Medium sized orgs have a full-time jira person to manage all this. I’ve seen this now at three different orgs.

Devil’s advocate but most research universities seem to serve the prestige and egos rather than students, especially grad students.

That’s a pretty cool find. It just goes to show even some of the oldest and most widely used open source libraries still have security issues. This is a rare corner case but it’s still a fantastic find. I suppose no static analysis tools fo

The office used to also be a status symbol. Ever seen a waterfront tech office with glass walls and ping-pong tables?

I think the first mistake is when companies try to diversify when they haven’t quite nailed their first product or service. Perhaps they are forced by investors because of the valuation or perhaps the founders always had a greater vision.

If networking disappeared our economic productivity would drop massively. It would touch all parts of life in some ways. If bitcoin disappeared few people would notice except for the IT and security teams along with insurance companies who

Why not make electron more efficient? Could webasm be the path forward here? Or is it the frameworks themselves that are bloated.

Sports illustrated always had great photography and the always anticipated swimsuit edition. The internet replaced that. In general, I haven’t read a magazine in ages because the format changed and if you didn’t adapt then you became obsole

This! I’ve boosted cars in -30 and it takes a bit of extra crank because the fluids are all thick in the cold. But it works. It’s not a bad idea in really cold weather (-40) to start your car every 4 hours or so to keep it warm. Edit: the g

I use ublock origin on Firefox along with a few other privacy extensions. I do not use Adblock. YouTube doesn’t even finish loading the page for me but videos do start playing after 10 seconds or so. I tried without blocking ads but I gave

I gas up a 40L tank once a month in climate where -15 happens for about two or three months. The tires are modest as the car doesn’t weigh much. The winter tires last a while and I just switched to my second pair of summers. Maintenance on

On my first pc assembled from used parts, I was able to squeeze every bit of compute out of gentoo. Being able to build smaller binaries by excluding dependencies seemed to help a lot. I used it until the first ubuntu was released and it ju
