Real problems people complain about online, pulled every morning and scored out of 100. Build, validate, or skip. How scoring works
This is likely a bit unrealistic, but why can't we make a half rack server to go in someones basement that can also heat up their hot water and use the basement floor as a heat sink as well?It seems like a lot of the blight of data centers is the energy to remove the heat. By distributing them into cool basements and even connecting them into the home heating system we could reduce that making them more efficient.

- gas smells less like gas - not getting as much mileage as usualI filled up my car and I have a habit of resetting my mileage tracker (next to odometer) to see how many miles I get out of a full tank.I've noticed that I get much less gas than usual for the same number of bars.What can I do to make this more concrete? Has anyone else noticed this?

Hey HN, I re-launched an old site I remembered back in the day that someone made called twitchroulette.net with a lot of new features and stats and I would love for people to check it out. The idea is you can easily browse the less browsed parts of twitch and find cool and new streamers to say hi to, and maybe make some new friends.I also added some real time stats and breakdowns per channel and I think some of the things they show are pretty interesting. Check it out!

We've been attempting to migrate our app from sapper to sveltekit and ran into the problem of web sockets, in sapper we could simply attach the WebSocket server directly to the express server and be done with it, but as per Rich Harris' comments [here](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/334#issuecomment-804987028) and here [here](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/334#issuecomment-806289525) in sveltekit we don't want to expose direct access to the middlwares thus promoting the node adapter over the serverless ones. However seeing as some of the serverless providers are starting to support web sockets ([cloudflare](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-websockets-in-workers/)) ([begin](https://blog.begin.com/introducing-architect-5-0-fully-serverless-websockets-20bb97673c4e)) ([AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/announcing-websocket-apis-in-amazon-api-gateway/)) should sveltekit provide a way to handle these connections directly? A native approach to this could also potentially provide a tool to solve this [issue](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/87) and [this](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/887) **Describe the solution you'd like** An interesting solution could be to expose functions in endpoints in the same way we handle http requests, and then let the adapters handle the rest ```routes/api/index.ts``` ```js // Handle post requests export const post: RequestHandler = async (request) => {....} // Handle web socket requests export const ws: WebSocketRequestHandler = async (request) => {....} ``` A concern with this approach could be mixing protocols, within an endpoint could be confusing. Another could be if this becomes too complicated since as far as I know the initial [handshake](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API/Writing_WebSocket_servers#the_websocket_handshake) to start a WebSocket connection is handled over http, would this then be handled directly by sveltekit which cou
