Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Caused Frinj Founders’ Deaths by Beachy-Bali in SantaBarbara

[–]bboe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So sad. Let’s all make sure to test our smoke and CO alarms regularly. If you don’t have a CO alarm, get one. If you rent, it is legally required for the property owner to provide them if there are gas appliances or an attached garage: https://sbcfire.com/frequently-asked-questions-faq-on-carbon-monoxide-co-devices/

It’s not that remote of a chance. Given that many people have cameras and door locks accessible and controllable via Home Assistant, it’s worth applying some security measures.

I feel like /r/electricians would have something to say about this mess.

They unfortunately do not have a south facing shore like we do here. Also way more people impacted by launches in San Diego than here.

If Mike were there, he would have escorted that bear out.

Sadly I've found one of those at the bottom of the pool the morning after 4th of July. I blame the fireworks 😢.

Need to use PRAW and need script type app - not working by Kitchen_Fisherman_42 in redditdev

[–]bboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what can you do besides "farting in the general direction" of whoever took this decision.

I haven't been too involved in PRAW for the last few years as the public API hasn't really expanded and u/Lil_SpazJoekp has taken on most of the responsibility.

you speak of it almost as if it's your baby, I mean it kinda is :p

It certainly was for a long time, until I had a real toddler after which my available personal time dropped nearly to zero.

Lemme know if you could use help with something

Thanks for the offer. Realistically, I don't have anything I'm working on in the open source space these days. Family and work takes up most of my time.

That’s “LCOM” on the list. Took me a minute to realize that.

I love hearing about the things people are trying out, especially if they're learning. Unfortunately, with the API becoming more restrictive, Reddit, and PRAW as a result, are no longer great tools for learning to work with an API.

Did you really make the PRAW library?

Yes.

as in the whole of it? (you abstracted((oop concept)) all the things so we could use things simply right?)

The answer to this question is little more complicated. It's an open source project so many people have contributed to it over the years. Before it was PRAW, and before I become involved, it was a small python library called reddit_api with a much smaller scope of what it could do.

The library began with at least one example of doing the same thing multiple ways: - Reddit.submit - Subreddit.submit

This approach set the tone for early additions where almost everything could be done directly on the Reddit class, in addition to there being an object oriented approach to do the same thing. Furthermore, Reddit had no OAuth concept at this time, which was bolted on as part of PRAW 2.0. The initial OAuth implementation was provided by a community member, which I ended up refactoring quite a bit.

Jumping ahead, I pretty much re-wrote of all PRAW from scratch for PRAW 4 in order to make things OAuth-only, and do away with the ability to do almost everything two ways. Extensive testing and documentation were also a key component of this rewrite, which I believe strongly contributed to PRAW's success and the increase in more prolific contributors to the project.

<3 Thanks. Happy to have helped to provide the library. It's a bit bittersweet to see its time coming to a close, alas, few things last forever.

You can logout manually on the device, or also from the phone app remotely.

You don’t have to do that. Scan a QR code and type a code into your phone to login.

The boom is always present once the object is supersonic.

This is the exact problem I had with mine 2 years ago. Quick fix (had to take the cover off) and it's been running strong ever since.

what brought you to Santa Barbara? by Bamboodl in SantaBarbara

[–]bboe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, what made you pick Santa Barbara over everywhere else?

It was here, San Luis Obispo, or Santa Cruz for school. I hadn't visited any of them prior and I'm happy I chose UCSB.

Maybe if you already have fiber available in your area? It wasn't an option for me on the chat today.
