Have had a similar model for like 5 years now. No regrets yet. The small effort it takes to power it up by far outweighs all of the disadvantages of a battery. Before that I installed a switch in the scale we had to erradicate battery drain

Is life itself really more than a series of rather futile endeavours? The point is that futility is, luckily, orthogonal to being enjoyable.

It's satisfying, usually functionally-equivalent and cheaper once you know where or how to get it done. It sure is (currently wearing pants which are probably 20 years old - as such their style is also back in fashion if I see what y

Modern HN in a nutshell. Oh, wait. All kidding aside: please people read the full article, there's enough in there to at least partially support the claim quoted by the OP. Just not in that first paper.

Give all your feedback at once. Sometimes that just really isn't feasible or efficient. Happens often enough I glance over a PR to see it has code style issues or obvious mistakes in the code or architectural problems. Especially in

Ideally, commit messages should at least briefly explain what was changed Yes, sorry didn't mention it explicitly, but that's normally what the first line of the commit message is for.

I use imperative, but for other projects which don't I switch to indicative if that is the style. Personally like imperative more, not sure why, just preference. > Is it really that big of a deal to use the indicative sometimes and

I don't really have a problem with bullet points, conveying relevant information is after all the most important thing the message should do, but if that example is an actual one then it would raise some flags during review. Mainly bec

There's almost no hope of having privacy on the web This is the feeling I, and many others I know, have as well. You try to do some things here and there (using FF with UBO and DDG and no Google account and browsing FB in separate co

Everyone I see only uses bluetooth Now just think a little about the millions you don't see, without trying to make too much assumptions.

We've known the basic physics answer to this for ages What is the authorative physics answer which proves this goes one way or another, applied to cell biology, in the human head?

(e.g. "Gy" -- is it giga-years, or gray) In my opinion this is not a real problem, since ideally no-one should such meaningless abbreviations in code. Just write giga_years or GigaYears or whatever your style is, problem solved,

Even just cooking on the induction hob, or using the (electric oven) will already blow your entire day budget. My thoughts exactly. Without any cooking at all (and exluding heating) we would do like 2.5kWh/day. But add a morning coff

too little actual explaining of anything that would matter. This. It reads exactly like (suboptimal) code comments or commit messages explaining what gets done but no trace of why . Why does this stuff harden defender? Why does it make

How to overcome failure and troubleshoot Well, what I remember from it (about 20 years ago now) is mainly this: make/compiler error -> search -> modify obscure file -> repeat. For days in row. At that time I didn't exac

I bet it is good for another 10-11 years. Indeed, and in reality it's probably better (as far as the planet goes) to keep on using the same car as long as possible because that means no new one has to be produced. Kinda hard to offse

So far the simplest assist I can think of would be a front wheel hub motor and a switch that turns on a constant amount of torque. The simplest: sure. However if you're used to cycling chances are you're not going to like that f

those hoping to avoid that will have to use a dummy Microsoft Account to then create a local one afterwards. And then delete the Microsoft Account? Would that leave traces?

It's not because you don't understand something that other people cannot live with it. Dare I say, I pity such lack of imagination? FWIW I use both limux and windows, if that even matters.

What I do not completely understand here, or seems counter-intuitive to me: it's called sensory deprivation, but you're floating in water. To me that sounds like a sensory impulse (to the skin, possibly vestibular system to a less

Author also mentions pollution from the gas furnace though, so no cooking involved. But you're right: would be interesting to know amounts of NO2 released by frying though.

In this particular case I think the main factor is purely where the panels are placed and their rather steep angle. Normal paybacks for rooftop are often half of that, if not better.

Yup. I did a very quick calculation based on last years yield and if the new energy prizes remain at this level it seems our 2.7kWp is going to pay itself back in about 4 years (!) instead of about 9-10 years. Crazy.
