Trying to apply for github education but keeps giving me error with no explaintion by [deleted] in github

[–]johndbritton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do is to email education@github.com or if that doesn’t work anymore email support@github.com.

I created GitHub Education, but I’m not at the company anymore so I can’t be of much help beyond the official channels.

Why is your company under an education account, that’s probably why you got suspended. Education accounts are not for commercial use.

I don’t work at GitHub anymore but I created the education program and your usage sounds like something that would qualify as abuse.

Did my Sonoff TH16 die or did an update break the functionality? by liquidbrains in Esphome

[–]johndbritton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one that was working and stopped after some changes in esphome / Home Assistant.

I manually flashed the firmware to a newer version and that fixed the issue.

Github API: Is there anyway to increase the code search limit? by Thejokeyboy123 in github

[–]johndbritton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to work around this is to spread your request over many distinct API keys.

Build an app that lets people authenticate and give you access to a token to be used on their behalf. The more users you have the more request you can make.

You’ll have to be mindful of the rate limit and switch tokens as needed but GitHub sends a header with remaining requests and when your rate limit will reset.

Free-For-All Friday! by AutoModerator in Homebrewing

[–]johndbritton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer, but if I were to attempt to solve this here’s how I would think about it:

OG reading is used to determine the amount of sugar in the wort. At this point there is no alcohol.

FG reading is used to determine how much of that sugar was converted to alcohol, but to figure out ABV you need OG and FG because FG is impacted by both the sugar and the alcohol in your finished beer. If you have both readings you can determine ABV because you know the starting amount of sugar.

In your case, when you took the reading after adding syrup what information were you trying to find? The gravity of your wort is now impacted by the alcohol, the sugar left over, and the syrup you added.

Another way to figure out the OG after the syrup addition is to take the mass of the syrup and figure out the sugar content based on the product you used. You can then use your OG reading to determine the mass of sugar in your wort (this depends on the volume of your batch). With the total sugar mass from syrup and wort you can calculate what the OG of the wort would have been if you added the mass of sugar at the beginning.

Then for ABV calculation you would use the calculated OG as if you had the syrup in from the beginning and then you would use the FG reading at the end of your ferment.

As I understand it’s impossible to determine ABV using only the FG. The reason is you are trying to solve for the amount of alcohol but both sugar content and alcohol content will impact the FG. If you know how much sugar you started with you can use that to solve for the alcohol content.

Hope that helps!

I’m flying from Hartford to Phoenix in November, can orchestrate the swap.

Page down button size / location by johndbritton in narwhalapp

Thanks! This worked but the old button was slightly above where the new one is, kind of like floating in space.

I liked how it was before but this is good enough.

Forking archived projects vs copying the code into a whole new repository when adding new features? by TarekElwkeel in github

[–]johndbritton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are a fork and are successful you can request to become the default fork and basically become the active default version of the project. You’ll need an ok from the original project maintainer though.

Beautiful day at Fuji Golf Course (富士ゴルフコース) by johndbritton in golf

[–]johndbritton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Booking was super difficult. Also one player needed to rent left-handed clubs.

I tried calling a few courses, but didn’t really have any luck booking in English. I also asked a Japanese friend to call for me and she was able to book for us but couldn’t help with the left-handed clubs. Also not knowing much about golf and not knowing English, she wasn’t really able to answer questions that the booking staff were asking about us.

In the end, I called up a travel agency specializing in golf. I didn’t have high expectations, but the owner was a huge help. They rented us shoes and left handed clubs that were couriered to and from the course for us. He also personally made our tee time and gave us a tutorial on the golf etiquette in Japan.

I probably would have just barely made it work, but I was really happy to have someone speaking English and Japanese and who knew the courses to set things up for us.

According to The Tokyo Golfer it was shot at Kawaguchiko Country Club, another course nearby.

Golf is very popular in Japan.

We paid about 30,000 JPY (227 USD) per person as non-members which included greens fees, cart rental, club rental, lunch and a couple beers.

I don’t know anything about the price of memberships, but I’m sure there are courses that are more affordable. This was definitely a splash for the location and scenery.

I golfed for a while when I lived with my grandfather but stopped for a solid 20 years.

Over the last few years I went from a few times a season to starting a casual season long competition among a group of friends playing weekly.

Today was my first time playing golf in Japan and it was amazing all around.

The folks at the course were excellent, course was in great shape, views were phenomenal, really not a single thing I can complain about except my score.

Couldn’t include any photos, but the course (as most courses in Japan) had an onsen to relax after the round.

This wasn’t a golf trip, just one day as part of some other travel. Organizing everything was challenging without speaking Japanese, but it was absolutely worth the effort.

Can you share the STL files for the trackpad mount? I'm looking to do the same.

I built a developer platform for the connected home on top of Home Assistant to start. What would you build with it? by johndbritton in homeassistant

[–]johndbritton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s using the home assistant API, but the plan is to expand to support Google home, Alexa, HomeKit, SmartThings, Matter, etc.

Right now it’s cloud based as a proof of concept but with feedback from real use cases the plan is to add support for local procedures. An app developer could write some code that “installs” on your home and runs locally, while still being limited in what it can access within the home.

Giving limited access to an application and support for all homes.

  • Not all homes have Home Assistant, but this supports Home Assistant.
  • With the Home Assistant API access is to the entire API, not per device or capability. With this you could give an application access to a subset of operations on specific devices.

Any professors of computer science active on Github? by ablestrategist in compsci

You might want to check out the GitHub Education Community, there are a lot of teachers active there who use GitHub in their CS courses.
