    well, that's what the input boxes are for :) I don't know what the electric OR or gas rate is for wherever that person lives. But I think even your example of $2/liter, is a good t…

    can you clarify how you got that result? 70,000 - 8800 (married filing jointly) - 2000 (two dependents) = $59200 taxable income, $2960 tax bill. An effective rate of 4.22% To reach…

    Hmm, I don't quite understand this methodology. This site lists my state, Massachusetts, as having a 3.29% individual income tax burden, but our income tax rate is a flat 5% (no br…

    I've often come to a post from https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/ in the middle of trying to understand some ZFS problem.

    I was really taken aback by this given my previous experience with the Linux kernel git repo size. So, I just checked out Graal. Receiving objects: 100% (981372/981372), 187.08 MiB…

    But the new Workspace plan is still different for 5+ users: " Customers that have 5 or more End Users will receive a total amount of Google Drive storage equal to 5TB times the num…

    That's correct. But the new, Google-involved behavior is that for 5+ users (which was previously "unlimited"): " Customers that have 5 or more End Users will receive a total amount…

    Have you tried using option-shift-[f1] to subdivide? or the brightness slider in the settings.

    With a properly installed thermostatic mixing valve, you don't even need that. The water will always exit at a safe, constant-ish temperature regardless of the water temperature in…

    Holy moly. That price per million btu is a lot less than the number I stumbled across. Makes it even more obvious.

    I was curious about this a while ago and did some napkin math. Natural gas is roughly $15 for 1 million BTU. There are 3412 BTU in a kwhr, so if you heated resistively, you'd need …

    This is close enough to what we do -- and it works -- but since we support multiple releases at a time, it often ends up feeling like merging is pointless. Merging a dev branch int…

    This is so awesome! Back in 2008 I built a projector from an old unsued laptop and a high powered metal halide overhead projector that I bought off ebay for 50 bucks. It was surpri…

    The i3 you linked matched. But for the i7 model, apple claims 1.2/3.8 and I can't see a match for that. For the i5, they claim 1.1/3.5 which could be a match for https://ark.intel.…

    In deduplication, we check to see whether a block has been seen before. If it has, we don't write it. If it hasn't, we write it down and record that information for next time. Chec…

    Hmm. I don't think they claimed to have an O(1) time solution, just O(1) added space. Which, it is, but only because they're counting on the original array's underlying type having…

    18% of net is within range for fiction novels, but I wouldn't be surprised if a work like this was completely different.
