I don't understand why Cracking The Coding Interview never published a two volume spiral bound book. It's the perfect candidate: it's huge, you're referencing two different sections regularly, and you stay on one page for quite a while. I never ended up doing it to my copy though.

Aw, Pierre shut down? Is there a write-up on that? (The code review startup idea.)

Plenty of room in old coal mines to stash all the waste we could ever want.

We bought a pair of Sactional seats used for $1k. And I'm delighted that we did because we hate how uncomfortable it is for us. If you're thinking about dropping 10k+ on a Sactional set, keep your eyes open for used and even consider doing what we did and trialing a smaller section first.

Make sure you know the cost to serve that 2MB MP3, especially if you're go viral.

I'm pretty sure I recall hearing that if you cut features that are too thin in Delerin, it gets too hot and catches fire easily. I don't think you were allowed to cut it at the maker space I was at. But it's been like 7 years so I could be fuzzy on that.

I don't see the screen dimension listed anywhere. Am I overlooking it or is that detail missing?

Too late to edit, but on the imgur graph - yellow is electric cost, orange is gas cost.

Just saw this, I would recommend going the heat pump route.

In retrospect, it's insane to get an electric tankless hot water heater from a climate perspective. Gas tankless makes infinitely more sense if you need limitless hot water. If you don't need limitless, heat pump would be the most emissions efficient.

I'll try to get my usage data together and update this comment.

Edit: Cost of usage electric and gas over the last five years. The big spike last winter was due to our remodel and heating the whole house while it was neither sealed nor insulated in the middle of winter with just the 10kWh furnace backup heater which ran almost non-stop. Units are USD. The two gaps in data are due to meter replacements, I think. https://imgur.com/AVTFwpP

It's kind of hard to compare the data since we re-insulated, went from gas furance to heat pump, and added a hot tub.

We had one (Stiebel Eltron 36KW) installed earlier this year which required a service upgrade to 320A service. AMA, though responses may be delayed a day or two.

Our all-electric home's max instantaneous draw over the last a couple months peaked around 44 kW.

Probably? It's a SkyConnect on Home Assistant OS.

The Aqara temperature sensors[0] wouldn't stay connected to my SkyConnect USB dongle. No issues with my Zigbee switch and thermostats though, so I think some vendors aren't fully Zigbee compliant but it's probably the exception.

Why's that? For example, wouldn't you describe any rotomolded cooler as a knockoff Yeti? To me, that doesn't seem to comment on the legit vs. counterfeit nature of the cooler, it just anchors the viewer's expectation.

Is there some special protection (in the USA) given to describing something as a "knockoff" versus "similar to"?

I had a pair of white Denon Wireless Earbuds that I tried to sell on Facebook Marketplace, still in shrink and with my own photos. They were kicked off as counterfeit items, presumably because I described them as knockoff Air Pods and that triggered some filter. I wonder if Apple is also coaching classified ad sides with the same trademark messaging they're giving CBP?

Isn't the problem with hydrogen that it's harder to store? I thought it was a big problem. Keeping it from leaking out of storage vessels and pipes because the molecule is so small.

You can seequester the methane back in the ground if you are capturing more than is consumed.

Congrats, very well done! What was the laser doing the cutting and engraving?

I loved the video format, reminded me of the Primitive Technology channel where he just gets out of the way and lets the work itself (plus closed captions) do all the talking.

Love Polycam! My wife just got the newest iPhone this fall before our remodel started and I was stoked to capture our house before the remodel and cannot wait to get the after all scanned in for comparison. https://poly.cam/capture/11B48FCD-E6A5-4ED7-9C9D-BF5DFE60579...

I never figured out how to relate primitives to each other in OpenSCAD so my models were an endless soup of absolute position math. I used SolveSpace for a while and it was brilliant because what took hours in OpenSCAD took just a fraction of the time. And then I picked up the Maker license for Solidworks ($100/yr) and haven't looked back.

I rendered my whole house in Solidworks to plan for a remodel and it was extremely well suited for the job.

This system only had enough power to run a small light, IIRC.

Did you have trouble finding an LTC plan that was reasonably priced to provide enough coverage? As expensive as care is and premiums are, I didn't see pricing that made sense vs. saving for it myself.

(I do have a tiny life insurance plan with a LTC rider so I could get exempted from the payroll tax in WA state.)

The demos I saw of this were slow, on the order of 10 seconds to get enough power through.

I'm convinced that a wired connection is better for video calls. Just like headphones. I'm my opinion, those two things are table stakes for a good remote work experience for your coworkers.

It looks like it's a $5 bottle of wine, which would make the CEO's taste appear cheap despite the reputation as a connoisseur.

There's also some mention of the original plans calling for an ADU that was removed when the plan was scaled down at the request of the city, so the plaintiff was arguing they should have been covered because it was multi-unit. (If I skimmed it right.)

The paved road up Mount Evans in Colorado does reach that high, but there just isn't higher stuff to hike to. The highest peak in Colorado is 4401m.

I don't remember when I signed up, but I'm a fan. Love when the emails come with the regular updates. I need to do my monthly data update. <3

Their white paper covers it, linked from their site.

> CO2 concentration is performed using a closed lime/calcite calcination cycle, operating at ambient temperature and pressure.

This is better. Terraform believes they can make methane from the air for cheaper than it can be extracted from the ground, leading to a preference for "carbon neutral" fuels. Part of their thesis though is the requirement for solar to keep getting cheaper and cheaper (as it has).

Excess manufactured methane could also be injected underground, presumably.
