A solar panel hooked up to an LED light bulb does not create virtually any waste heat… and a heat pump creates heat but it also creates cold. Global warming as I understand it is mostly about solar radiation being trapped within the atmosph

How about some reputable references for your position?

Any comparison to PhpIPAM? That’s the only other open source IPAM I’ve used. Does this support scanning the networks as well?

I think your point is valid and it’s not way more expensive to host your own, but $10/tb all-in as hosted space is way low of an estimate. If you are getting a NAS that’s big enough to have 1:5 parity it’s gonna be a 6 or 8 bay so mayb

Can someone ELI5? Sounds like we should work out hard (lifting?) and eat a crap ton of protein right afterward?

I met Aiden (the < 20 yo who started Million) a year or so ago. He presented about Million in front of a room full of 40+ grizzled JS devs. I don't personally see any reason to use Million JS, React is fast enough as it is if you

It’s not open source (or even source available), and it’s targeted at users who, what, use csv files but can’t use excel very well, but are searching for a new revolutionary file system? I don’t really see a use case for your product based

No, the briquettes have actual coal in them. I was surprised too. I’m switching to lump charcoal when my kingsford runs out. “That char is then mixed with ground coal and other ingredients to make a charcoal briquette.” [1] “Technically, ch

Amazon delivery estimates have been extremely accurate for me, in both Austin, TX and Portland, OR. Both places I was within 20 miles of a distribution center. We moved to Portland in early 2021 and it was a bit rough for like 6 months but

Most apps are online by default these days and don’t even gracefully degrade without internet. Firebase does have the offline DB, but it had a ton of more features and I wouldn’t say the offline db is the only selling point of FB.

Full unrestricted disk access for all users and code isn’t the only way an OS can be designed.

If you have >100k items, “implementing search correctly” is an intractable problem if you don’t have a hundred person team of search relevance optimizers and taggers. Search is terrible until you gather tons of metadata about each item.

Netflix wants you to justify the cost in your mind. The bandwidth is free. Netflix is such a high volume of internet traffic that the CDNs actually have edge content caches within the DCs of most major ISPs, so when you stream you’re actual

Great recommendation on Relevant Search. I worked on an ecom site trying to improve search relevance for years, and it’s an incredibly difficult and challenging problem. Especially because it’s difficult to measure success, and execs would

You’re describing the problem from a computer scientist POV. OP is describing the problem from a user’s POV. Nobody cares if there’s a subset of their query in the title. That item is not “rice”. No one is searching for “rice” and wants sou

Bad for the store you mean? Because the customer doesn’t convert (buy) something if it says “hurry only 1 left in stock” because everyone knows that store inventory is inaccurate and they ultimately don’t have 1 in stock, they have 0 in sto

Isn’t “sold” the key point though? Why make a worse car for marginally less instead of making more of the good cars that are, by comparison, a much better deal? They would be easier to sell…

Our HOA elections are unable to proceed without a defined quorum, yet the US has no such rules… strange! I think first past the post is a big part of the issue though, and am holding on hope for ranked choice voting to expand

Could you provide more context on what’s disgusting? I’m not a go programmer but this looks like it’s just a wrapper around a library called ‘maphash’ and doesn’t do any of the hashing here? This is more of a service wrapper around that lib

Cost isn’t the only vector. Someone may want to host the runners within a given VPC so they have access to private resources / PrivateLink etc. the job API is a lot narrower of an attack surface area than giving your auth info to GitHu

Hmm, but it’s OK to trust that web browsers implement TLS properly? And your router isn’t MITMing you? Or your SSH app exfiltrating all your server information? Why is this different?

You should do this even if you use Dropbox or some other service provider. There’s still data loss potential. Google has lost entire Gmail accounts for example. The durability isn’t 100% after all… those extra .9’s aren’t to cover durabilit

No one would spend $450 on a NAS and then put 2 TB drives in it. My NAS was $450 and has 3 18TB drives with another slot not yet used. The drives were $250 each or so on sale. So for $750 + $450 I have an always-on home server that runs my

Synology is mostly web based configuration or ssh… maybe install Tailscale so you can remote admin it easily?

It’s so hilariously slow and jumpy, it moves like a cautious chipmunk! I’m sure it’s gonna be awesome but it is so MVP right now. Also those “houses” in the demo videos are like a grid. Whose house is perfectly clean all the time? My roomba

You can probably build an 80% Uber or Twitter simply. It’s the 20% that’s the rub. Did you know the Uber mobile app has thousands of native screens, for example? [1] it’s common to believe that a small simple version is the same as the scal

x64 means x86-64 in common parlance. Apple silicon would be an arm64 platform in comparison. Lots of software is compiled for both right now, but Apple is abandoning x86-64 so at some point in the future, software will stop being built for

Open floor plans are super loud and distracting… what issues would this solve exactly? I think it only creates more issues.
