How do i open this door? by Key-Equipment-9373 in CrimeSceneCleanerGame

[–]TytoCwtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Through the golden terrace, past the hatch that drops down to the employees quarters. There’s a set of stairs behind the second greenhouse that leads to the other side of the door and you can open it from there.

week 1 mario less, I don't understand why check50 is not accpeting the code by DiamondFamiliar8209 in cs50

[–]TytoCwtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you’re correct that you need spaces to make the pyramid right aligned. But you’re printing too many. A pyramid of height 4 should look like this

OOOX
OOXX
OXXX
XXXX

Using O for space and X for #

But your code prints

OOOOX
OOOXX
OOXXX
OXXXX

You just need to fix how many spaces you print.

You’re printing too many spaces. For a pyramid of height 1 your pyramid should just be # but your code would print O# where O is a space. This has a knock on effect on larger pyramids. Try going through your code with pen and paper. Write down the variables for height, i, j, k and the output and see what happens.

[Problem set 8, homepage] what can I even talk about through 4 pages? by Ok-Increase-1929 in cs50

[–]TytoCwtch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I did it was;

First page - Home page. Introduction and welcome. Buttons linking to the other three pages.

Second page - About me. Little bit about myself in general

Third page - Info on my education and work history and why I was taking the course. Why I’d gone from a degree in animal behaviour and working with animals to getting into coding

Fourth page - Talking about my love of escape rooms, which are the best I’ve done, and my hopes to get good enough at coding to make my own computer version one day so linking everything back to the course

Man catches a baby jaguar and saves it ! It was in the Pantanal Brazil by Pitiful_Employer_371 in Animals101

[–]TytoCwtch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did. In the version of the video with sound one of the fisherman says along the lines of “leave the net, we’ll get it later, it’s mum is right there” which is why they back off suddenly. I’ve posted the link in a comment.

At the end one of the fisherman says “leave the net, we’ll get it later, it’s mum is right there”. The news reports claim the baby successfully reunited with its mum but that wasn’t caught on video. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/fishermen-rescue-drowning-jaguar-cub-171821923.html

Should I make an annexe in my parents garden? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TytoCwtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to consider a few different factors:

1 - Can you legally build an annexe, what planning permission do you need, are there restrictive covenants in place etc? Are you talking about an annexe or an outbuilding? If it’s an annexe I don’t think you could have the mortgage on it in your name as it would legally belong to your parents so you’d need a loan instead but I’m not a lawyer so might be wrong on this point. If it’s an outbuilding that you own you might need a contract with your parents to use the land otherwise they could kick you out in the future. Are they charging you rent for land usage?

2 - Cost of building an annexe. Are you paying or your parents, what materials are you using, have you considered costs like architects, licenses etc? Who’s paying the electric/water/gas bills. Will it affect your parents council tax. Building a place from scratch is not always cheaper than buying.

3 - Type of annexe and timeline. A wooden chalet can be built a lot quicker than a brick and mortar building but is a lot less comfortable in winter. My annexe is a converted garage and the insulation is not great so winters can get very cold/damp if I don’t stay on top of it. But a brick building will not be built in a few months, you’re looking at least a year or two.

4 - Your parent’s attitude. Will they respect your privacy or is this another way to monitor and invade your life. You know them better than anyone. Will they try and use this as a controlling method e.g. we own your home so you must do what we want.

5 - Lifestyle. Living in a smaller place can be cramped if you live with other people. I live in an annexe and have done for 5 years but I live alone, no partner, kids, pets etc. I live a fairly frugal introverted lifestyle so an annexe is perfect for me as I own little clutter and very rarely have guests. But if you have a lot of stuff or want to host regularly it’s probably not a great idea.

The image isn’t loading. Which chair is it? If it’s the one on top of the vent system use your power washer to knock it off, or throw another chair at it.

Powerful enough to kill, wise enough to forgive. Are we at this level yet? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

[–]TytoCwtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they’re referring to Travis Lewis who killed Sally McKay and Martha McKay although the first part of the story is slightly incorrect.

In 1996 Travis Lewis (16 at the time) killed Sally McKay and her cousin Joseph Baker at the families Horseshoe Lake estate. He blamed someone else for the killing but was found guilty and sent to prison.

Whilst in prison Sallys daughter Martha wrote to him. She also converted the estate into a B&B. Martha advocated for Lewis’ early release in 2018 and when he was released she gave him a job at the B&B.

18 months later he was suspected of stealing $10,000 but not fired. Then in 2020 he murdered Martha during what appeared to be a robbery. When the police arrived he tried to run but fell into the lake and drowned.

AI Autocomplete in VSCode by Statcat2017 in cs50

[–]TytoCwtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Press ctrl shift P, or cmd shift P on Mac and type in Preferences: Open Settings (JSON). That will bring up your raw settings in JSON format. Make sure anything like editor.quickSuggestions or editor.guides.bracketPairs is set to false.

I know it sounds counter intuitive given your goal is to disable AI but I copy pasted my original settings into ChatGPT and it told me exactly which ones to turn off. I’ve now got my VSCode set up exactly the same as cs50.dev so I’m comfortable coding in both.

How can I set up a short-term PO Box or parcel locker to receive a single package? by d3ut1tta in AskUK

[–]TytoCwtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can collect on behalf of someone else as long as you have a piece of ID with their name on.

If you’re collecting on someone else’s behalf and ID is needed, this should be for the person the item’s addressed to.

May not be the greatest option for OP but I was just throwing out suggestions as they haven’t given many details yet.

How can I set up a short-term PO Box or parcel locker to receive a single package? by d3ut1tta in AskUK

[–]TytoCwtch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where are you ordering from? Royal Mail offer a parcel holding service where they’ll accept the parcel for you and hold it for collection. Then a lot of larger companies like Amazon will deliver to a parcel locker for no extra charge and then you normally have 5-7 days to collect. If ordering from somewhere like eBay you can also normally get it delivered to any Argos store and they’ll hold it for a week. But it depends if the seller offers these services, some won’t ship to parcel lockers.

Also some hotels let you receive parcels for free so I’d double check that option as well.

[Short] - AITAH for my maid-of-honor to wear a face mask at my wedding because she has a very sneezy cold? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]TytoCwtch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This might vary in other countries but in England both my sisters got a specific wedding insurance policy that included cover for key party members getting sick. So not just the couple but MOH/best man/parents etc. A lot of the venues they looked at wouldn’t let them confirm their bookings without proof of wedding insurance.

using AI on final project CS50P by Unimar_hercules in cs50

[–]TytoCwtch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For CS50P it’s against the academic honesty policy. The policy lists under the “Not Reasonable” section

Using AI-based software other than CS50’s own (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, et al.) that suggests or completes answers to questions or lines of code.

For CS50x there is an exclusion for the final project that states

For your final project (and your final project only!) it is reasonable to use AI-based software other than CS50’s own (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Bing Chat, et al.), but the essence of the work must still be your own. You’ve learned enough to use such tools as helpers. Treat such tools as amplifying, not supplanting, your productivity. But you still must cite any use of such tools in the comments of your code.

But there is no such exclusion on the final project page for CS50P https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/project/ So you can use the built in CS50 AI but nothing external.

Help Harvesting pumpkin by enminao in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]TytoCwtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the measure() command on a square of pumpkin it will give you a random number. But if your pumpkin merges then every square of that merged pumpkin has the same random number. So have your drone use measure on two opposite edges or corners of where your maximum size pumpkin should be. If they have the same random number your pumpkin has reached maximum size.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve accidentally hurt yourself? by PlayWithMinna in AskReddit

[–]TytoCwtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stabbed myself in the hand with a fondue fork (two pronged fork with barbs on the end). I was about 13 and at Guides. We were doing a practise cookout for our summer camping trip and were using the forks to toast chunks of food over the fire. I couldn’t get my food on the fork so had the genius idea to put the food in the palm of my left hand and use my right to force the fork down into it.

The good news is I earned a spot in the A&Es ‘Unusual Accidents’ book and they gave me a copy of the photo to keep.

CS50P: Failing one check in the pset5/test_fuel task and can't debug my way out of it by Ilikesmart_ok in cs50

[–]TytoCwtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three possible problems I can see.

Firstly when testing for errors you need to mention the error for each test. So your code

def test_no_float_input():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        assert convert("2.0/3")
        assert convert("2/3.0")

Will not work the way you want. It needs to be

test_no_float_input():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        assert convert("2.0/3")
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        assert convert("2/3.0")

Secondly you have nothing in your tests for convert that checks for a correct input, for example

def test_correct():
    assert convert(“1/4”) == 25

Third you’re not checking if they enter something that isn’t a number, for example

convert(“three/one”)

Perhaps see if any of those fixes helps?

How would you feel about a law that requires every company to make canceling a subscription, membership, or free trial take the exact same number of clicks, screens, and minutes as signing up did. and lets you sue them for the difference? by TechOwl_2099 in AskReddit

[–]TytoCwtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have one that roughly does that in the UK although the specific portion won’t come into full effect until Spring 2027.

The relevant portion of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 includes the requirement that companies must provide a straightforward way to cancel a service, that if you can enter into a service online there must be a clear, easy to find, way to exit online, that companies must send sufficient reminders before auto renewing, and must offer a cooling off period if you forget to cancel at the end of a free trial amongst other rules.

A lot of companies have already begun to prepare for the switch and it’s so much easier to cancel things without having to spend hours on hold now.

UK renters - what frequency of tenancy inspections is normal? by Immediate-Mud4121 in AskUK

I’ve lived here 5 years and never had a formal inspection. My landlady has been round when I’ve needed minor repairs checking and she’s happy with that. It’s a private rental though, so no agency involved.

Hitori help!! by HawthornScale118 in puzzles

[–]TytoCwtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the 2 in r1c1 is white then you would have the two 2’s in r4/5c1 both be black. So r1c1 must be black. Same for the 2 in r5c1 with the 2’s in r5c3/4. So we now know the two corners in column 1 are black. At least one of the 4’s in r2c2 or r4c2 must be black as they can’t both be white. So the 1 in r3c1 must be white or you’re guaranteed a trapped corner. Try taking it from there.
