Article: > The energetic output of an oven stove is 80 to 90 percent, compared to 40 to 50 percent for metal stoves or central heating appliances Energy.gov > Old furnaces: 56% to …

I didn't read it that way myself. For HN comment readers that skip citations (I'm not saying you did, just helping the conversation): First paragraph > cgo is an amazing technology…

I don't know why a general observation and citation is getting downvoted. Discouraged doesn't mean banned. It means avoided. Regarding why, the article speaks to that. You are righ…

Memory safety would be a large selling point in my mind.

Why include console exclusives? Aren't people trying to compare Windows as a gaming platform to Linux as a gaming platform?

The article doesn't mention the performance overhead or the fact using cgo is generally discouraged. [1] [1] https://dave.cheney.net/2016/01/18/cgo-is-not-go

It depends a lot on where you land in tech (both department and company). That's definitely true for SWEs at FAANG companies. I wonder what it would take to update these laws to re…

Initially, pandemic life was much worse for my sleep. Stress, burnout, exercising less (not even walking to/from the office), getting older, eating worse, all contributed to sleep …

"Run on Linux" implies either native or supported in my mind. According to the article: > 80% of the top 100 games on Steam now have gold or better ratings [in the Proton DB]. > If…

Intentional infliction if emotion distress is a cause of action for a civil suit. You don't have to have lost money.

From the study's FAQ[0]: > Did an Institutional Review Board consider this study? > We submitted an application detailing our research methods to the Princeton University Instituti…

The page also no longer references the iMessage forced snitching on children. Was that covered in another news story?

Probably. It's not just about 1 in 8 billion people having taken the time to look, it's also about 1 in (what I'm guessing is) at least 100 people at Microsoft not leaking it. Appl…

> I don't care. I [switched to Linux] That's short-sighted and self-centered. You don't care about whether or not other people's rights are violated? You don't see how normalizing …

That may have been simple ignorance instead of whataboutism. The person asking it may genuinely not know how much easier it is to inspect Android (both the device and the open sour…

I bounce between Linux and MacOS enough that I prefer a cross platform terminal emulator. My current favorite is kitty. Anyone have a different cross platform TE they prefer?

> That will disproportionately affect lower income households who can't as easily withstand these rising costs, which further drives income inequality. I see your compassion, but i…

For additional context to my Canadian friends, it's not actually legal in the US. Various states have banned state and local law enforcement from enforcing the federal law. Since i…

Thanks for engaging here. Unfortunately, everything is on autopay. I rarely access the app or browser extension, and almost never access the dashboard. I hope folks over there are …

Since the title is a little misleading, here's how the article describes itself. > Labor productivity—defined as output per labor hour—has grown at a below-average rate since 2005,…

I wonder if we'll end up with something like smoking and non-smoking sections. E.g. this building is for vaccinated and that building is for unvaccinated.

False dichotomy. Systems of reasons affect decisions. E.g. I'm willing to add a fully vaccinated office to my risk profile, but how do I get there? Even if I could trust everyone i…

I'm surprised I'm hearing about it here before getting an email from them.

What are your sources for hostnames to crawl? I looked into it a long time ago and seem to remember there was a way to get access to registration records, but I imagine combining t…

And screen loggers. And MitM network traffic loggers. That said, I guess everyone's threat model is different and maybe a remote browser like this solves some problem for them desp…
