The problem with heat pumps in the colder states is that they only work with forced air and also don’t produce (enough) domestic hot water.

Particularly in the
North east you are going to find steam or forced hot water systems fired by gas or oil (most likely #2 heating oil or possibly kerosene).

In a new build yes. A forced air with (air or ground source) heap pump should be required (although it still doesn’t really solve the DHW issue).
I'm saying its because of tourists, which does include Europeans.

>Europe has destinations that are way more touristic than Times Square, and you cannot find this atrocity.

Okay? It's not New Yorkers going there to gawk.
I consider the fact there’s a surplus of housing to disprove the fact that there’s a shortage of housing. Seems obvious to me.
Note, these questions are not explicitly aimed at you to try and answer, I’m just throwing out what I’m not clear on

Could this really just be showing that less people are marrying and having kids?

A further question would what is called a “household” (and how that has changed over time). Is a 4 room house with 4 renters room renter, 4 households or just one by the owner?

How does people owning multiple houses affect this number?
Cost and culture? I don't know that most 20 year intel employees in Beaverton are going to be willing to do night shifts.
I'm really happy with my IONIQ 5. Where there's infrastructure, it works great. It can recharge in 20 minutes for 2-3 hours of road trip driving, which for me is quite acceptable. I'd probably take the same breaks anyway.

But I agree about the stupid apps. They need to die. It's infuriating when my car could recharge quickly, but I'm forced to spend more time registering in some crappy app of a dodgy provider who's probably going to sell it all to spammers.

As an RSS fan, I don't think this is a bad development. Too many podcasts are hosted on personal servers that disappear without a trace. Google is no archival saint but producers tend not to wipe their channel vs forget to pay hosting fees.
That's why most of the review sites never show older, just current, maybe previous generation of cpus with reviews.

You can handle a potential scammer without behaving like a scammer yourself.

You might want to be known as a person who's always honest, not a person who tries to decide when it's OK to act dishonestly.

(In this case, it sounds like the writer guessed correctly that the other party was a scammer. But no one can always guess correctly. And I can imagine even that example situation turning out in a way in which the writer would've gotten into significant legal trouble.)
Well the reverse is also true.
>are so out of whack that a heat pump with a COP of 4 is no longer economical compared with a reasonably efficient gas-fired appliance.

Orthogonal, but I point this out all the time re: electric vehicles, when people claim "they are so cheap to operate!".

Do you really think that will continue to be the case when they are 10%, 25%, 50% of the market? The government will squeeze every dollar "saved" out of you. If you're lucky it will be equivalent to what you used to spend on gasoline.
It's not a jumpscare. Had to let it run to completion before using it.

Yes, but doesn't that currency then get devalued? My point was that the US is probably the only country that can print money without it adversely affecting the value of the US dollar. Isn't the value of the US currency partly based on the sum total of all the goods and services of the USA?
This is increasingly the far-right playbook. Get a big audience all worked up about something via a steady stream of lies and outrage, and then pretend like you had nothing to do with it when one of your followers does something illegal.

We have such groups around me which have resulted in vandalism of businesses and multiple bomb threats sent to multiple libraries. These assholes for a while were monopolizing the citizen comments section of city council meetings at any city which was allowing any kind of drag show or drag themed event (think drag queen story hour) in town.

The notable case of vandalism was a coffee shop not only with broken windows, but they also keep finding feces in corners of the place.
Sounds like hopeful words for investors
When would you (or anyone else) say would it be the best to consider doing everything by yourself from scratch? For example, I want to build a little arm server. I'm realistically going to use linux server or similar as I don't want to make my own OS. But if I'm undertaking something on a microcontroller - there's definitely a point where bare metal starts winning. How do you find that?

In the UK at least, the government only has authority to execute legislation. And parliament only has authority to create legislation.

If the legislation they create is not lawful then it can't be enforced in the courts as doing so would be inherently unjust.

Hashing data and purchasing electricity obtained from approved sources have never been shown to be (and unlikely ever will be) unlawful activities.

How is that a law?

That's just playing sides.
What I meant by that is more "don't fight it", as in "don't let it dismay you, bring you stress, and don't judge the fact that it happens." That it happens is not a failure at all. It's normal. Just acknowledge and recenter.

When people first start meditating, they often find it very difficult to get a "quiet moment" and think that's a sign that they're doing something wrong or something isn't working. Neither of those things are true, and while you might get just a few seconds of "quiet" at first, as you practice more, that time will expand.

The basic point is that it's part of the normal progression (of anything, really). When you're doing anything new, you're going to suck at it at first and improve as you keep doing it. It's counterproductive to feel bad about the stage where you aren't good at it, and giving those judgemental feelings power can cause an unwarranted discouraging force.
I'd say NVIDIA is somewhat keen on you being able to utilize their hardware. So, they gave you some tutorials (absolutely not insanely detailed), documentation about the API, and a bunch of programming advice and recommendations. They also provide you with a mental model you could use to think about the GPU's work. But - that is all not the same as telling you what actually happens. They don't even publish instruction latency formulae, for example.
If you'd like to try those easings straight away, you can use this bare-bones rip-off in interactive sandbox [0]. Still basic: animation is symmetrical, so easing "in" has the same easing as "out", just reversed.

Under 2 kB total. HTML, mostly CSS and literally two lines of JS only for restarting the animation.

No, they should tell me what went wrong, in enough detail that I can understand it and determine the cause of the error so I know whether there is anything I can do differently to get around it or fix it.
I have bought and sold well over a hundred items on Marketplace in the past few years. There are scams, mostly from buyers wanting you to ship items to them, but insisting on in-person transactions nullifies most of them.

I've even shipped and gotten some items shipped in rare cases from people who I could verify the identity.

Here is a bit of advice from 20 years in IT:

Always apply for jobs, even if you are sure you will not be fired.
It's like going to the gym every week and keeping your six pack. Don't wait to be fired, be always looking. Do the interviews, get to the final interview and then decide whether to proceed or not.
I’ve been going the other way, adding rust bindings for some performance-critical code, and calling it from Python. It’s worked wonders, speeding things up 20-30x in some places. This also has the benefit of compiling to WASM if I need to, so it’s a breeze to run my code in the browser.

I'll jump in here and suggest a Technivorm Moccamaster. As simple as possible but no simpler. It has an "ON" switch. Excellent drip brewer. Widely available. Handmade in EU. Five year warranty. All parts available and serviceable. Design has not changed materially for decades. Certified by European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association.

Where I'm coming from: I'm picky about coffee making and am not interested in the espresso investment for home. So I made delicious Chemex and Hario pourovers for myself, family, and friends for 15 years because I never thought I'd enjoy the compromises of a drip coffee maker. I was wrong. The Moccamaster makes an excellent half or full carafe, consistently, every time. And I don't suffer Pourover Interruptus on busy mornings. The thermal carafe version was my choice. No regrets.

I just had a Facebook marketplace camera scam happen to me Today.

Seller marked as shipped, and delivered, but my package wasn't there.

After some sleuthing (I knew a guy who works in UPS) the seller put a different ship to address. So Facebook marketplace isn't doing something as simple as verifying the tracking label is heading to the right destination.

Only doing E-bay from here on out. They have this problem solved for the most part.
simply build only happens with relaxed zoning, and relaxed zoning will result in building vertically or at least, mixed use. The current way of building is a result of stupid policies to protect homeownership as an investment among other things. If you want to further incentivize smart building, a land value tax is the answer
Not something that should require a special contract for a user under the age of 13.

Lines with actual code changes aren't a problem for me, it's the automated IDE indent/spacing/bracketing that really drives me up a wall and fatigues the hell out of me.

I've fallen behind and haven't really been keeping up with the newest digital institutions, but this article has given me some great pointers for digital libraries to investigate when I've got the time or need. Thank you, OCLC!
For me personally, it shouldn't be about line count. A PR should have scope of a single feature/piece of functionality. Or if it is a PR for a bug fix, 1 bug fix per PR. If its 1 line, 2 lines, 50 lines, 500 lines, I don't care. Each PR should address one single problem.
Just wait until we get IronRust through a clr rustc backend :)
Thanks for your comment Doug! I just bought your book (Relevance Search) and I'm planning to read it asap.

I'll give a look to your project and try it for experimenting, thanks for sharing.
That's great for you, but a huge portion of people with a limited car budget don't have a garage to charge in overnight, or the funds to install a charger. Also an old ICE car can usually be kept running for quite a while with maintenance costs that are a fraction of what an old EV battery replacemement costs.
Maybe I'm not appreciating how big podcast has gotten, but audio size feels like something that could work unders distributed file sharing system. Everyone allocates a few gigs of storage to redunantly archive, which I find is the number1 killer of podcasts, lots of interesting small projects that die from link rot even if you can find them on listing.
Tbh this is not the worst idea I've seen. I hope you can make it, because I would have a hard time justifying such an experimental platform and idea as a foundation for a company.
I'm sorry you struggle to read more than a few sentences of words, but I'm trying to be very clear and precise in my explanations in order to help the people playing dumb in this comments section.

The clips she shares are very often not edited by her, but out of context clips edited by someone else to serve a narrative. Even when they aren't, how you frame a clip when you present it to someone and the prior expectations and beliefs of the audience that is viewing the clip can very strongly influence the perceived import of the clip itself, even if it's the exact same footage. And she is explicitly sharing clips of queer people to an audience that is already pre-convinced that queer people are evil and groomers, with that explicit framing added on to the clip. Even if we ignored that for the moment, my comment, which you clearly did not read, outlined exactly why even ignoring all the interpretive effects, sharing a clip of someone to a very large audience of people who hate one of the groups that person is a part of is a really bad thing. When someone posts something online that doesn't mean they automatically have to want a gigantic audience of people who explicitly hate them to become aware of the clip, that's nonsensical, and what l o t t is doing is essentially directing the eye of Sauron that is the awareness of her mob towards people that they are already primed to hate, when otherwise those people's posts would have gone completely unnoticed and under the radar to that mob, thereby directing a lot of hate that would not have otherwise happened at those people. Do you not understand how this works? Maybe I should put it in terms of cancel culture and that would help you understand it. Imagine some small time conservative business owner says something on his personal Facebook page that's kind of stupid, but would have completely flown under the radar otherwise. However, some big Twitter leftist account finds that post, and boosts it to their large following, with a comment about how evil and bigoted this person is, obviously that huge base of fans it is going to go after that person and just make their life hell, when without the influence of that post it would have flown under the radar. Can you see how that would be bad now?
There's an issue in how these polls are being conducted and it's hard to tell what's happening especially with Western articles that don't fully give all information or give the polling questions. The word "Chinese" have many different ways of stating it in Chinese. So when they ask in polls e.g. are you "Chinese", it really depends on which word they use. They can use 中国人, which does mean Chinese, but it also has a much stronger political connotation related to the mainland. So most people in Taiwan will say no they aren't 中国人, since they have their own government. However if you were ask, e.g. are you 华人 also a word for "Chinese", etc, they will more likely say yes. After all the official country's name is 中華民國. Mainland Chinese people will also say they are 华人 too.
There are a lot of categories of posts on here that I would love to block. I hate the customer service ones also. Especially where people complain about their account being banned and whatnot.

But the effort required to shift the opinion of the entire community to get an entiery category of posts banned is a lot of work, and might even be a waste of time.

Instead, what I do is I only look at this site via RSS. Then my RSS reader I have various rules I've configured to filter out posts. I gotta start working on some rules to filter out the "I got scammed" posts.
Always gotta wonder what genius thought it'd be a good idea to have "illegal operation" in an error message displayed to users.

Then again, that was nearly 30 years ago. Maybe we didn't have as many studies on users back then.

So one out of the five costs only applies to some properties? How does that make me wrong?

You also failed to say, “nothing needs to be fixed at MY property! Why did my rent go up!?”

Because it takes several years to save up to replace an HVAC system or a rotten deck or plumbing failure and I have to charge based on the projected cost.
That would probably be great from an environmental standpoint.

Notice I didn't say that we should only look from the environmnental standpoint.

We should dramatically increase taxes on:

1. Homes that are vacant for more than 6 months out of the year
2. Homes that are short-term rentals for more than 6 months out of the year

Incentivize owners to either get long-term tenants in, or sell.

AirBnB is making things much worse. Landlords have discovered that turning a house into a short-term rental property is more lucrative than having a long-term tenant. That's horrible for the long-term rental market when everyone does that.

We don't need to make it illegal. Just tax the shit out of it and disincentivize it.

> natural gas relies on the grid to move the air too

Natural gas heating relies on nothing more than convection to move hot water or (in older setups) steam from the boiler to the radiators. The only part of the setup where electricity is required is for electronic thermostats, and those can have a battery backup.

Every time I open the Anki app I really don't know where to start or how to use it. There are just too many options distracting me.

It would be easier if the features were reduced & the app kept minimal. Think the apple notes app & Google keep, but for space repetition. Anki feels like Microsoft Word.

Also a sample collection of decks with something to start learning right away (just to understand how the app works) would help me alot. Maybe a language, math theorems, APL verbs etc.
Exactly. Toyota's CEO also explained a few weeks ago that they need to build cars for the whole world. Many countries are not ready yet with infrastructure for electric cars.

I would also add since insurance companies don't want to insure the transportation of batteries in container ships, it makes it difficult for Toyota to produce electric cars in all regions, it would mean they would always need to have a battery factory nearby.

i mean 30 year fixed mortgages aren't the only thing. I just pointed it as example. The insane keys to power we've given homeowners to essentially fight back against any kind of building in the form of environmental reviews, and community boards are a much bigger problem. It's all a problem. Most western countries have fallen into the same trap in terms of homeownership.
Sorry typo. I just fixed it.
