"However, it’s only 829kb, and that includes every single non-image asset (fonts, css, all libraries and dependencies, and js)." Only 829KB? ONLY? This[1] is a (dynamic) on-line co…

Tarsnap is great. I love supporting it.

you can go as high as 4 in most heat pumps. Obviously, it strongly depends on the outside temperature. But if it's above 4 degrees C, you should be fine.

Certainly. I heat a small flat (~35 m2) using just a AC unit and it works great: low costs, very comfortable. The only problem is increased dryness of the air. But for a bigger pla…

I think demand is far greater than what is currently visible, but the price is still way to high. I'd move to electric heat in a heartbeat, but it's 2-3 times more expensive than c…

I'm not sure. In a big city owning a car is a headache. Parking, insurance, traffic jams. I would switch to a per-mile-rent if it was affordable. Electric, self driving cars will b…

I had to send more than 500 emails / day. So i switched over to FastMail. It works well, and i like having unlimited aliases that i can kill at any moment. But there's no way of di…

I'm using ouicards[0] in my project (example: [1]). First thing i did was writing a 'thank you' email to the author. They saved me many hours and gave me a jump start with design, …

You cannot cheat biology with feminism or education. Some things are impossible to change overnight, regardless of the social pressure or guilt. Men are attracted to fit, young fem…

God, i love human ingenuity. You are real engineers. I only have experience doing real high level stuff -- the easy parts, so i didn't follow most of the text. It's impressive that…

Well, i can see a point in continuous R&D. Maybe they could improve something else beside efficiency? Like size, weight, cost? Let them study all the things!

Dropbox is cool and all, but i hate their pricing model. I just want to keep about 50-100 GB there (i don't hoard stuff). I don't wanna pay $10 / month for that. At backblaze i pay…

Or rather "probably not, but now you'll never know for sure"

Sorry, but American bread (at least on West Coast) is really bad. Maybe you can find something edible somewhere, but most of the shops carry only the worst of worst IMO. In Europe …

Why isn't it? I'm sure Google can make well behaved ads that bring them lots of money. Implementing this would make it even harder for any competition to get a foothold into the ma…

There arent that many novel scenarios on the road. Sure, Google can't program around the possibility of an airplane falling down on you, but how often does that happen? It doesn't …

I'm guessing that's the reason they are doing a moon mission. Have to give them hope, have to jump start the economy. Can't saw trousers for eternity, can they? Educated people wil…

Google could invest a bit more money in R&D. They sit on awesome pile of money and yet aren't a significant player in energy. Why? Not smart enough? Don't think so. Oh, i forgot. G…

I think you forgot that while Americans can and should save (a megawatthour ISN'T, or at least shouldn't be the average per month per house, vide the article), the rest of the worl…

Cheers from another happy "Paczkomat" customer. When i shop online (and i do it a lot) i try to choose sellers who provide "paczkomat" [0] as a mailing option. A bit cheaper, much …

Right now it seems that my $1/month shared hosting has less downtime than AWS this year.

I like how the reporter speaks Chinese. Usually it's english only, which i suppose is translated off screen for the local being interviewed. I don't watch much BBC so i don't know …

Minus the time to do it yourself? 20 minutes @ $40/hour * 52 weeks ~ $700 year.

Dude, that was awesome. Thanks a lot! I haven't had a book this good in some weeks. Cheers!
