I can't think of very many first movers that really had an advantage. Maybe if you get a lot of essential patents. Or you get very lucky with timing and capture a large market nobody noticed wasn't serviced. But so many of today&#

No, I moved in 2018; long enough to complain about all the people moving here even though I did the same thing ;) I did get to experience the viaduct, and did the tunnel / viaduct ride before the grand opening of the 99 tunnel and the

Yep, when I was in the bay area, we had a gas furnace that was built in week 53 of the year before the 78% efficiency standard took effect. Our plan was to put in a heatpump to replace it when it stopped working and get A/C to manage (

Yes, our climate rarely drops below freezing, so the heatpump is a good fit. My house has little shade, so a/c in the summer is very nice. I would have a separate unit for the basement and the first floor though; we do have zoning damp

The reports are kind of useful when first enabling, if you want to get warnings about non-compliant mail, but after you're established, they're not really useful, so you should turn reports off, but you can do that without turning

AFAIK, FreeBSD has been doing transparent superpages for decades (I think it was implemented in 2002 for x86 [1], and 2014 for arm [2]) and I don't know of any real issues with it? (I'm sure you could build a test case where it th

I'm running it now... it is an old version 1.1.2.80, but it didn't tell me there's an update, and the functionality I need stayed the same, so why would I update? It took almost 5 minutes and reports almost 2M items, 1.45M fi
