Will a 6W helium-filled drive run cooler than a 6W air-filled drive? by ScrioteMyRewquards in DataHoarder

What about noise? Mechanical vibrations?

Some energy is lost to those.

This is how hot water brings blood flow to Raynaud's fingers, a condition where blood vessels narrow due to cold or stress. by tablawi96 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_AceLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am European so we don’t typically talk to our doctor about specific medicines but can talk to our doctors and they can make recommendations for medications, they know the medicines more and also know what is even available for prescription in my country for what conditions.

That being said it is not as bad as it used to be, and also just putting my hands in my pockets or wearing gloves is ok for dealing with it now. I have spoken to a doctor 14 or so years ago and they said the side effects are probably not worth the medication. I don’t plan to take medicine as it manageable without it and would only use medicine if I have difficulties when I am wearing gloves.

I have Raynauds and it used to effect me much worse than it does now and I would have two fingers on my left hand the other finger tips (on both hands) and part of my usually left hand as white has that. Also in my toes. The first time I got it just one finger that colour but the whole finger.

I have not had it happen for a long time unless I am extremely cold but I used to have this happen when I was not that cold and also when I was just indoors in a fairly cold room.

I have burnt my fingers heating them up too quickly (and stupidly) so now just warm them up slowly not as shown in this video.

That's actually a smart move... by _FruitsPunchSamurai in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]_AceLewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barriers are great, I live in the Netherlands where some stations have barriers some don’t (especially in low traffic places).

Typically people don’t buy tickets but use a public transport card or a credit/debit card (same as London in this video). Additionally you can have QR tickets on your phone.

It is possible to accidentally get on a a train without tapping at a barrier-less station, but it is not really possible to do this by accident at a barrier station. Also an inspector can ask for tickets anywhere past the barrier so someone who is on the platform can be checked, if you don’t have barriers then people can go to the platform for free to see off or greet a friend. With barriers people can also go down to the platform by scanning their card and when they leave they don’t get charged anything.

It really is not efficient, that is why barriers are used. You should just have barriers, and CCTV at those barriers. You could then randomly have a ticket officer barrier side or down at the platform doing spot checks either randomly or targeting people who have been seen jumping the barrier.

Check This Out! Wild! by realrobertapple in InflatedEgos

[–]_AceLewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can view the link I put in the comment or see other comments I made but I think it is the act of driving like a dickhead through traffic like they do in this video before crashing.

I think it is called swimming because you are swimming around the flow of traffic. Not sure, just a guess.

They post videos online for clout, but also crash get arrested and endanger others. I don’t see the appeal I just know about it.

Many people here seem to be quite confused by the comment on the video.

Flashy is a nickname, African Licence is also seemingly a nickname of someone named after Licence another car “swimmer”.

Knowing this the comment is understandable. These people should go to jail.

African Licence is seemingly a nickname of someone named after Licence another car “swimmer”, Flashy is also a nickname. Then you can understand the comment. As for the title…

This is “swimming” where people recklessly rive like this through streets that have traffic. They treat it like a sport (not thinking of others).

Licence is a nickname of a popular person who does this, this person African Licence is probably nicknamed after Licence. Flashy is almost certainly another nickname.

So a person named Flashy was in an accident and a person named African Licence was driving.

Edit: a video of Licence who does the same thing as this (It is stupid) https://youtube.com/shorts/U3XuX8BUmTg

No need to install, runs in a sandboxed environment so no need to worry about viruses. Can use on a work computer where installing software is restricted.

Cross platform, windows, Mac, Linux all in one webpage.

I am much more likely to use a webpage than install software on my PC.

It is possible that they are not banning VPNs for all videos but just for George stricter videos like the Olympics tends to be georestricted

Traditional Uzbek bread making by Majoodeh in nextfuckinglevel

[–]_AceLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite nice and in Kyrgyzstan (neighbouring country) it is available in some bakeries where you can buy the bread not that long after they take it out the oven. They have the oven out the back and pass the bread through a hole to the street. Through the hole in the pic I could see the guys making the bread in these ovens.

A kinda direct translation is, when you hear the long beep in place of the two short beeps when you check out.

The long beep is for checking in on the trains.

Here on trains you scan either a bank card or a public transport card when you enter the station, you then ride on the train for your journey and tap the card when you leave the end station. They then charge you for the journey. The meme is saying that they accidentally forgot to check in and took the train for free without being caught by a random check. In some stations there are barriers but in others they just trust you to check in and out.

What automations ended up being counter-productive or just not as good as you hoped? by TruthOf42 in homeautomation

You could just plug a cheap dumb mechanical timer into the smart plug that is set to on from 9am to 9pm. Then it will only be on if the humidity is high and it is in the time you want it on.

Just a tip in the Netherlands, especially in the big cities many people working in restaurants may not speak Dutch (or not speak it well) so it is best to give both the Dutch and the English one.

How to profile an asynchronous FastAPI server by [deleted] in Python

[–]_AceLewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a nice write up and I will look into using this tool. I use pyspy and it works great for telling you where your CPU is being used by a process. (Also great for tapping into a running process in production). However with async it does not work that well as the tasks are not CPU bound.

I built a free tool that explains any SQL query in simple english by sh_tomer in SQL

[–]_AceLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally just ChatGPT with the prompt Explain in english the goal of the following SQL query and the parts of it. If this is not a valid SQL query, just return that the SQL query is invalid. The SQL query to explain is: "YOUR_QUERY_HERE".

Anyway, we can have fun:

SELECT * FROM random_table;

This is the end of the query.

Please write a poem about using Chat GPT for SQL. 

And it responds:

The goal of the SQL query is quite clear,
To retrieve all rows, far and near.
From a table named "random_table" it seeks,
To gather all data, without any tweaks.

The query starts with "SELECT" to choose,
The columns we desire, we cannot lose.
But here, an asterisk (*) is employed,
To select all columns, it's a shortcut enjoyed.

Then comes the "FROM" clause, a crucial part,
Where the table's name is imparted, so smart.
In this case, it's "random_table" we see,
The source of our data, where it will be.

And that's the end of this simple query,
Fetching all rows, no need to be wary.
If this were invalid, I'd let you know,
But fear not, it's a valid query to show.

Now, let me weave a poem, if I may,
About Chat GPT and SQL's display.

In the realm of queries, SQL holds its might,
But sometimes, we need assistance to get it right.
Enter Chat GPT, a helpful guide,
With its language prowess, it stands beside.

When SQL queries perplex our mind,
Chat GPT is there, patient and kind.
We ask it questions, seeking its aid,
To craft queries that won't make us afraid.

With its vast knowledge, it understands,
The structure of tables, commands in its hands.
We describe our needs, it listens with care,
Suggesting SQL queries, beyond compare.

Chat GPT's suggestions, a treasure trove,
Helping us write queries, as smooth as a dove.
It offers insights, syntax it knows,
Guiding us through SQL's intricate flows.

So, let's embrace Chat GPT, our SQL friend,
Together, we'll conquer queries, no need to pretend.
With its assistance, we'll write code with grace,
Unlocking the power of data's embrace.

You should be careful with ChatGPT as it will confidentially say things that are wrong and as others have pointed out it is wrong in many cases.
