It has nothing to do with air tightness.

If it leaks slightly it could keep the gas/air at an explosive ratio within the box.

Best to just have it vent out into the room. then it's noticeable.

Re:Hacking IKEA Furniture on Sunday August 30, 2026 @11:41AM (#49499674)
You need a vent there as well so gas can't build up.

There is a requirement for having a vents if you are boxing in that device.

One high and one low one, this is so the gas does not build up in case of a leak.

Would highly suggest you get that sorted, your insurance might be void in case you do get a fire.

Sorry but I feel like someone should tell you this: you sound completely perpetually online.

Please go touch some grass and I mean that in the friendliest way possible.

Same applies to you too.

I actually was curious about his reasoning though.

Explain your thought process please.

I'm not sure if I could use a framework that shares the name with an alcoholic drink in a professional setting.

Plenty of people who struggle with alcohol and who would benefit of not being reminded of it at work too.

Glaswegian here, I would use sorry as an "can I get past" also.
I had not heard of Agda before, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
Anything written by John Hughes is worth a read. He also also wrote quickcheck.

Are you that excited to see innocent people die?

Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

Dutch person here: im going to need a source for all those claims. They seem obviously false.
That is one good-looking website.

Seems like the live demo website is about to die though.

And educational workers and cleaners.

Seems good to have the russia rethink their system of paying for assasinations.

Re:Microsoft bets big on nuclear future for data centers on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @05:22AM (#45179597)
That is largely due to the war in Ukraine and Russian gas/oil being a big no-no in Europe right now.

Continuing to burn fossil fuel is simply not an option. Not if we want to comfortable keep living on this planet.

This is a very uneducated take. Wind absolutely makes sense in plenty of locations.

I myself am located on the west coast of Scotland and we get most of our energy from wind. Solar panels make much less sense here we tend to get much less light than most places in the world.

If those things are true they all are seen small peanuts compared to the police state that is being developed in the U.S. with masked men pulling brown people of the street without identifying themselves and without due process.

Get your priorities straight.

To quote Niemöller:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Not a good article.
