As a long-time Sense user, this is great news for them! However, their approach seems to (in my experience) completely fail to identify heat pump loads, and it hasn't yet picked up…

Haven't been a Linux daily driver in years, but I love that KDE continues to have such an impact. Reminder that its built-in browser Konqueror debuted the KHTML rendering engine ci…

I think the parent's comment was unfair – you were (roughly) looking to build a self-hosted, open project for those who don't want to pay for hosted options, and that's exactly wha…

I’ve seen so many teams that fail to realize that once you use a domain in any significant way, you’re basically bound to renewing it until the heat death of the universe – or at l…

But you can see your Mac (running macOS) on it. In that sense, it’s “just” a monitor, but far from Apple’s most expensive monitor. Another comment mentions that you’re confined to …

My family calls that sort of intersection “the doublecross”

After being West Point valedictorian, Wes Clark was NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe – can’t get too much higher than that. But yes, McCain was “only” a Captain, and Gore serv…

Might have just been based on what they could show at demo time – they can handle some core productivity stuff, but might not have had the time/access/team to put together somethin…

On the other hand, at small companies, this can be a big deal. FAANG companies pretty much know how interested you are in working there, based on the fact that you’re the type of p…

Not to be a buzzkill – this is a cool story! But it’s worth noting that perfect/absolute pitch can be a negative for musicians in some contexts, especially vocal music. Since even …

Unfortunately, they (or at least mine) communicate by IR, which is not as stable as wires – two of my rooms have very intermittent response to my IR pucks.

It's not the ebikes that he's saying are dangerous, it's the couriers. I got hit by a Getir rider in Brookline (probably near the parent) who zipped the wrong way out of a one-way …

They do this here in Massachusetts, but they aren't full-service. I just bought out my lease, and have to go to a real DMV to process the title. When you only have to handle the si…

And Massachusetts.

My partner took Orgo from the professor in question ~20 years ago, and described it as one of the transformational classes of her undergraduate years, though she also thought it wa…

Or Rembrandt.

Totally on board with the goals, and I've done some similar work, though haven't gotten anything nearly as trim as this as the output. I'm interested in if/how this has stood up in…

Good for him. I hope he comes back in a few months with renewed energy for the next evolution of kottke.org, but even if not, or he heads in a different direction entirely, he dese…

Sure, though it's often not simply a hole, but an active ventilation system to ensure fresh air makes it into the structure. Ideally, this is a heat recovery ventilator that uses t…

First, there are many gaps in pretty much every home. Junctions between drywall/plaster joints, windows and window frames, every electrical switch/outlet box, details in the attic …

They may require more maintenance, but that maintenance may also be lighter. You could also argue that this type of construction allows more room for generational upgrades than tho…

Directionally, I agree with this, but it's important to be clear that it varies by jurisdiction. A blower door score of 3.0 ACH50 (air changes per hour at 50 pascals) is code in so…
