> iPad Air is a fantastic value TIL American English treats “value” in the financial sense as a countable noun

It’d be nice to have in stdlib, but it’s pretty trivial to write a generic wrapper for it

air source heat pumps, though they're improving won't do well in extreme cold; even if they can operate they'll still be running at much lower efficiency. For temperatures signific…

yes - this is also part of the privacy extensions spec: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4941

It’s not uncommon. Google AIP spec requires it for example. I think the main driver for it is implicit idempotency.

Cheap stud finders are usually not great. The good ones are radar-based using similar frequency bands to wifi, but they cost lots of $$

In the UK, dew point highs will peak above 22 degrees multiple times per year, so the safe temperature to cool to is something like 25 degrees. Might provide some benefits on reall…

It would only need to be 4.7 to beat a gas/oil system that is 100% efficient. In reality, a very good gas based system that is well specified and installed might reach 80% as a who…
