While I could have had a battery backup for the blower, I never did, so I guess I'm not missing out. :) I live in an urban environment, so I'm not too worried about losing power for an extended period of time, and if I do I would

That is a worry. Of course a power outage would also knock out my old gas furnace too. Without the blower running, etc. the gas furnace wouldn't run.

This year I installed a heat pump with a 10kW auxiliary heater for my home in southern Ontario. With an appropriate air handler, both the heat pump and auxiliary heater can run at the same time. The setup seems fine to me. If anything hav

I could be wrong (and I probably am) but I feel like the term "reproducible build" has shifted/solidified since 2006 when Dolstra's thesis was first written (which itself doesn't really use that term all that much).

In NixOS, you can use system.replaceDependencies to create a new derivation that performs a search and replace on references to dynamically linked libraries in the old derivation, recursively swapping them out for the new library without re

I mean this question sincerely: Is it normal to be handling raw chicken and then just stick your fingers into a bowl of salt like that? I know I am a pretty poor cook, and I get somewhat nervous handling raw meat, probably more than I shoul

In my experience, I find that constructive mathematics better aligns with peoples intuitions here rather than classical computer science. For example, we don't (yet) have a proof that there exists (constructively) a program that that p

On weekdays, my price of electricity from 11pm to 7am is about 4 times cheaper than from 7am to 4pm, and about 10 times cheaper than from 4pm to 9pm. Also I usually run the dishwasher and laundry sometime after 11pm, so it is usually helpfu

Oh. When I said "you can pick any point P", I meant universal quantification, i.e "for all points P", rather than a randomly chosen P. I did say "choose P", which was pretty bad phrasing on my part.

You can just use the function that is constantly 1 everywhere as your improper prior. Improper priors are not distributions so they don't need to integrate to 1. You cannot sample from them. However, you can still apply Bayes' ru

In the diagram the mean of the distribution is the center of the circle. Of the set of samples a fixed distance d from the mean of the distribution, strictly less than half of them will be closer to the origin than the mean is, and strictly

I think the part on "How arbitrary is the origin, really?" is not correct. The origin is arbitrary. As the Wikipedia article points you you can pick any point, whether or not it is the origin, and use the James-Stein estimat
