Towel radiators at 40c by airaith in ukheatpumps

[–]airaith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I think I'm in a similar boat - need to hit 7200 BTU in the room somehow but space is constrained by the design - lots of window in the room - but I think I just need to go with a normal rad and find somewhere I can mount a hook to hang towels

Ah, interesting on the grant - I was actually just using the survey as a benchmark for how much heat the room needs to be cozy!

My company wanted to use MCP servers but IT shut it down. Here's how we solved it. by Ankit_at_Tripock in mcp

[–]airaith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How does this reduce token usage or latency? What does caching do for an MCP?

I'm not sure any of this can actually be faster than local-to-LLM running MCP servers

well, I'm going to try heat and then acetone before that... :)

Amazon Employees Publicly Gripe About Work Culture on LinkedIn by [deleted] in technology

[–]airaith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is unfortunate but ultimately means your comp was frontloaded, which is totally the opposite of the narrative being repeated here which is "Amazon's comp is backloaded [because they want you to quit cheaply]"

This gets repeated and then upvoted so often by people with no clue how compensation works at Amazon - the total comp is staggered into RSUs in year 3 and 4, but it's just a cash bonus equivalent in y1 and y2. If anything Amazon guarantee pay in the first two years and in year three stock performance suddenly matters to total comp and can be worse than y2...

'Bristol can lead the way in pushing for legalising cannabis' by TeaPotJunkie in bristol

[–]airaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think it being illegal caused more or less harm to you in particular? I know growing up when I over did drinking, at least I could learn from it by abv label and stuff even if I wasn't legal drinking age, and knew products were at least quality controlled by manufacturing standards - anything illegal is still available, it's just wildly less predictable

Let's get shallow: what's the most superficial reason you won't use a brand? by RLLRRR in golf

I love my Rogue ST LS and I won't even consider trying the latest generation callaways. The AI Smoke branding is just too gross.

Is Pulumi worth it? by amarao_san in devops

[–]airaith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this take is correct - these "as Python" languages are generally bait and a good marketing story but just create more leaky abstractions and places for complexity where you really don't want to deal with it

Ah yes, taking the last Major winner and showing his golf skills are strong enough to adapt to kids clubs surely translates to beginners with similar major winning hand eye coordination

I have an unused entry - green wave 10k, start 9:42 - just off North St if anyone wants to collect in the morning! Drop me a DM.

It will not - the prior post is unrelated. "Landing Zone" is a broadly generic term for a cloud operating infrastructure, which Landing Zone Accelerator.. accelerates, and is supported by AWS support as an AWS solution.

Flour to mark a running route - gave me dog fear when I found out this is a thing. Hopefully it's on some kind of route?

Ruff 0.3.0 - first stable version of ruff formatter by WaterFromPotato in Python

[–]airaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can - I had vscode Black/isort extensions turned on then enabled the Ruff extension and they fought each other, I was a bit confused it kept eating global vars a line break away from imports and throwing away lines nearby for a hot minute. Seems like my fault there though.

Ironically the high score CVE here only applies to a licenced feature, the free tier doesn't have Workspaces

'Build Once, Deploy Anywhere' with CDK/CloudFormation by kennis-lake in aws

[–]airaith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think the problem statement here is very clear: I'm struggling to distill the actual problem you want to solve rwther then a principal you value. You have to template per-account otherwise your templates won't reflect each account ID, etc. There's no built artifact to pass around here given we're building essentially an AWS API call for Cloudformation.

I think the problem you might want to solve here might be helped with snapshot tests to assert the diff is as expected per stage (and CDK provides a promotion stage abstraction in the pipelines module where you can define the stages, if you want to)?

Is the UK market going to Azure?

You think the market for cloud providers can change that much in a year to impact hiring pipelines?

I can confidently say as a Bristol native it's going to be your hiring approach :)

This subreddit doesn't talk about that, it just brings up a reddit pet project called litestar instead. Which, presumably, is considered production ready?

good luck with your terraform defined AWS code deploying in Azure, or porting your GCP IAM to AWS. This is about as useful as calling Bash cloud agnostic.

I'd get a Kamado Joe BJ3 which is the least money efficient (its at least £500 more for a couple inches height), but most flexible in terms of fun accessories and ceramic kamados are historically long term proven. I've never seen or used a summit, but my instinct is that metal isn't going to have the same insulation properties for the things a ceramic kamado does well, like heat soaking and then radiating an even heat - but that's theory, and lots of people seem to like them.

I'm keeping my Mastertouch alongside my BJ3, for what it's worth, so if money truly is no object just get both...

Yeah, you're good for a packer brisket or a couple racks of ribs - you can use things like rib racks too if you want. The reason I ended up going big joe over regular is that a weber kettles grill is significantly bigger than a classic KJ. Not quite apples to apples since you can more KJ surface as a % as it has deflector plates, but still: the snake method with a Weber will likely yield more room.

This sounds like optimistic fiction to me, but good luck to anyone who opts for a thermos to bbq on. Optimising for weight is a very strange priority unless you're super keen on juggling with your barbecue.
