e: hopefully clearer, but tired and still commenting on the internet, so who knows. =)
From https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0003 -- which was top of mind since I started looking at the postings after reading the article. ;-)
Bunch of places where the tone masked or downplayed real issues in ways that made other text suspect. As a concrete example, `head [] -> Exception` with something like "of course it errors if you take the first part of something that's not there" and `take 1 [] -> []` with "obviously taking one thing from an empty list gets you an empty list" -- uh, no. Maybe it's a historical wart, maybe there are good technical reasons, but different behavior in these cases is definitely not obvious!
Have recommended sources for this or learning more? My experience with Windows doesn't match this at all, though from my perspective it's hard to tell if it's kernel as opposed to any of the layers above it.

Have a ~1800 square foot single family Colonial located in Northeast USA built around 1910. It was partially renovated ~2000 but most of it's still uninsulated (afaict, still very new to this!).
Based on your experiences what do you recommend? (or what sources do you recommend consulting to learn more about retrofitting older buildings?)
Mind providing more references/reliable pointers on this?
Also fyi, link has an extra trailing '>'.
