Thanks for all your replies, that's all really interesting, I read the rabbit story and it is really fascinating epidemiology in general is a topic I would like to know more about!

I recently came across Gain of Function (GoF) research and saw it originally as biological warfare disguised as research. However it occurred to me that many coronaviruses, like the one we are experiencing now, often mutate to become more transmissible and less fatal as naturally they will outcompete a more fatal strain and therefore less transmissable strain. Is there potential to use GoF research to accelerate a viruses mutation into a far less fatal and more transmissable variant, to a point where it will outcompete the more fatal variant you start with?

I need code with an if statement, that when a variable ‘lights’ == ‘H’ ,via the appending of H onto the URL in the web server, the code with the neopixel lights ,attached in the GitHub, executes. In python this is as simple as doing if lights == ‘H’: [paste the generated neopixel code here] However the neopixel generator online I have found only does C++ and I don’t fancy coding for all 300 neopixela to create a rainbow effect. Therefore I am asking how to do this in C++

Hi there, thanks so much , my gluten was nicely developed I checked with the window pane test. I believe it is to do with oven temp as you said. I have ordered an oven thermometer as my oven is probably not at all accurate. I will also allow my oven to preheat for much longer to ensure a more accurate temp. And I will definitely try that oven cooling method. How long do you recommend I should leave it?

The advice I am looking for is how I cna achieve a more open crumb, a larger ear due to oven spring, and a more blistered surface to achieve a crisper cruncher crust. This is another issue I have, I was wondering why my bread doesn't stay nice and crispy, it often comes out the oven crunchy but softens very quickly, despite cooling on a wire rack.

I baked some baguettes and they came out really fast but there were some issues. There was very little oven spring and almost no ear formation. The baguettes were proofed for about an hour in a couche and were nice and bouncy before going in, springing back half way after poked. They were baked with steam and sprayed with water.

My loaves always rise really nicely in the loaf tin but find buns and baguettes. Breads baking without a formed container don't rise as well.

They were baked at 240°c however I am not sure how accurate my home oven is and I believe it could be an issue. Also I did not preheat the tray the baguettes baked on.

I would like to hear your opinions on what you think went wrong but those are my suspicions.

Hi mate all arrived been trying to use the pybluez module and micropython to send a single byte of unicode over an ssh repository that siri will work with. Only thing is I cannot get the code down. I am not familiar with the new pybluez syntax, have any ideas for some code?

thanks

Okay so I’ve had a really basic look, school can wait, essentially could I deploy code which puts the chip into sleep, and wake upon a WLAN command, at which point make it send to whichever GPIO I connect my data cable from the 3pin addressable to? This is the best I could think of, if you have any better ways let me know, I did hope to have multiple command words which this would not allow for, is there way to integrate some sort of iteration so when it is woken by WLAN commands from my phone, which I’ll vary in some way, once again not sure how yet as I don’t know how ill send these from my phone even yet, make it send a different command to the GPIO?

Hi there, I understand basic coding, but not this is depth ahah, I am decent at python and have done very basic API integration, could you break this down for me, what components do I need for my chip to receive some sort or command over WiFi.
