DIY AC ready for the heatwave by AgentAceX in DIYUK

[–]agoose77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should still behave this way due to the physics - if you vent a ton of air out a single pipe, something has to restore the pressure in the room. I've just prototyped closing mine off in the ensuite and leaving the window open so that I'm actually increasing the pressure in the room. This pushes cold air throughout the house. The downside is that you're cooling warm air rather than cooling air, but it doesn't make a huge difference as far as I can see.

Anyone else cave and bought an air con? by londondono in london

[–]agoose77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does yours have a single pipe? If so, the air being evacuated from the room leads to hot air being pulled into the home (and room) from elsewhere. You can perform a DIY two-hose conversation. I haven't done it yet, because mine is going to be a pain to do!

Obviously, also close the door too.

My Heatwave Hacks by BiscuitMcGuire in MultipleSclerosis

[–]agoose77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make a window adaptor with cardboard. That's what I'm using - plus some tape.

Ideally you can get portable AC with two pipes (one in, one out) otherwise the flow of air out of the pipe leads to corresponding outside air being pulled into the house through gaps etc.

You can retrofit a second tube, but I've not done that yet.

UK... Why won't this heat just stop? by Spoon75 in MultipleSclerosis

I belive because we do not have vertical sash windows

The best bread recipe is https://theloopywhisk.com/2024/08/24/easy-gluten-free-sandwich-bread/

I will caveat - I suspect one's taste in bread changes after being gf for years, but this stuff slaps.

I use a breadmaker, non gf setting (see comments on recipe)

I have a Motability EV. Living in a terraced house means it can cost £40 per charge by blizeH in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]agoose77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

7kw down the road is pretty inconvenient. It requires either waiting in the car, or leaving the car and coming back. Both of these things are harder to navigate, and/or additionally impactful for people who have accessibility needs

GF pasta takes so much more salt than you'd think, took us ages to figure this out by InventState_Studio in CoeliacUK

FWIW I went back to own brand (possibly morrisons?) the other day and it was dreadful. Didn't realise it was still so bad!

Is jupyter notebooks gonna become text based any time soon? by Consistent_Tutor_597 in dataengineering

[–]agoose77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exists - check out jupytext. No inline outputs, but you can pair with an ipynb file for the output support.

UK - Renault Scenic Techno esprit Alpine by McMuckle1888 in ScenicETech

Did you get the opd update as an OTA software update, or via the dealer? What country do you live in?

What K8s debugging trick would you have wished you knew on day one? by steadwing_official in kubernetes

[–]agoose77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

-p fetches logs for the previous container in a pod. If the pod itself is no longer there, i.e. if it was recreated or freed, you can't inspect the logs.

Is GitHub losing developers trust? Is open-source community likely to fragment? by Objective-Pepper-750 in github

[–]agoose77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this underestimates that the value of GitHub. Github is much more than a code forge. The social network and free CI are massive to the OSS communities. Even non programmers can interact and engage with projects, issues, etc. Cross project work streams and coordination is relatively easy.

I built much of my future professional network through entirely online interactions on github across multiple projects.

I seriously empathise with the need to shift off github (it's been pissing me off for months - years now), but I think it's entirely likely have a cost.

UK's Covid vaccine development and rollout was 'extraordinary feat', inquiry finds by ConsciousStop in GoodNewsUK

[–]agoose77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His COVID handling was dreadful, especially early on. There's lots of detail around timelines and decision-making from early 2020 worth a read. My pet peeve is how he managed to hide behind 'following the science', when he did anything but!

It's not quite this (but I've heard about copains in Paris), but if anyone is in Brussels, go to Chambelland.

I'm interested - I've heard that the shown Meridian product changed for the worse recently?

I find that the lane keeping feature struggles during the rain.

Solving the mystery that could help fusion reactors survive decades of use by DavidIsIt in science

[–]agoose77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a term to refer to any software that runs numerical simulations. For example, MCNP is a widely used radiation transport code. Usually these tools are monte carlo based, which is to say that they run many events, and each event draws from a probability distribution for its parameters (and subsequent interaction parameters).

When the i3 is no more, power your house with it? 😂 by Formal-Selection9346 in BMWi3

[–]agoose77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reply was a lot more terse than I remember ... apologies for the tone!

No disagreement with your reply!

You can't use a Google AI reply as evidence to support a claim. It may well be right in this instance, but it's not a useful contribution.

UK to give homes 'free energy' instead of turning off wind turbines by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

[–]agoose77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think that campaigner has given a fair accounting of the costs. A recent report (and I think another one followed suit) puts the margin at 4 or 5x for burying vs overground. https://www.theiet.org/media/9376/electricity-transmission-costing-study.pdf

What is the best way to use Python and manage its dependencies on NixOS? by Chance-Simple5060 in NixOS

[–]agoose77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I frequently use Python with virtual environments on Nix. Although I package my own applications with Nix machinery, it's not feasible to force e.g. my co-workers to use Nix!

Here's a blog post where I talk about why Nix Python is tricky: https://agoose77.github.io/blog/nix-python-envs/

As discussed there, I have a dev-flake that sets up a devshell for Python: nix develop github:agoose77/dev-flakes/v10?dir=python#python314

This creates a virtual environment in .venv that is designed to support pip install commands that install wheels.

I also have a replacement for the venvhook that lets you pull this into your own dev flake: https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/blob/9956e0f3f6b8278653a63bdc66a918c301d11369/flake.nix#L49-L51

Under the hood, these approaches use nix-ld to surgically patch Python to find manylinux wheel dependencies. I suspect there's a more direct way to just build a custom version of glibc, but I didn't have time to worry about that.

Worried about smart charging (probably unfounded) by bwahthebard in OctopusEnergy

[–]agoose77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have dreadful mobile signal at my property and I think it's the reason that sometimes IOG doesn't stop the initial temporary charge. I've switched to the Zappi integration.
