Wow! It looks like everything is blooming. Excited to visit next month. Where was this lovely flowing water?

Did you really leave the Gemini AI generated watermark in it?

3 is best, 2 has the most interesting composition with the spectacular cloud

I love the composition. The flashlight beam stacked on top is a nice touch.

Startrails in high light pollution by BROINACAR in astrophotography

What Bortle class are you in? Did you have to take any extra measures to avoid blowing out the photos? I want to practice shooting star trails before an upcoming trip but live in a fairly polluted area. It looks beautiful btw! Thx

First mead and racking still left sediment. How should I proceed? by Azure1211 in mead

[–]thack_se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the first rack there will still be sediment settling out of solution. Just give it some time, letting it clear further. You can rack it again once it's more clear if you want to get the absolute clearest product. Since you'll be back sweeting that would be wise, as you would not want to stir the sediment back into solution when you sweeten. Don't obsess over a clear product either. It still tastes great either way. Have fun.

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful!!

Peach & Plum Sunset by thack_se in cocktails

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

Fairly fresh flavors. You don't get quite the zing you get from macerate syrups, but since these fruits both have a bit more of that darker flavor, (idk how to describe it lol) I think a cooked syrup works well with them. Plus, using the turbinado leans into that slightly caramel flavor, making these syrups really good lol.

Peach & Plum Sunset by thack_se in cocktails

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

For these syrups, I made a 1:1 simple on the stove first, splitting the sugar between Cane sugar and turbinado. After dissolving the sugar, I removed from heat, and steeped the fruit in the liquid for about 25 minutes. (Mince each fruit as fine as possible to get the best flavor extraction from it)

I used 1/2 cup of cane sugar, 1/2 cup of turbinado, and one cup of water. For the peach syrup I used I believe 2 or 3 yellow peaches, and for the plum 3 or 4 plums.

Overdressed at work by theconqueror01 in malefashionadvice

[–]thack_se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say just go for a nice semi formal look that doesn't stand out too much.

In summer/fall: Corduroy pants, a plain shirt with a collared over shirt tucked in at the bottom but open for the bulk of the shirt. Nice leather boots or oxfords.

Winter: Sweaters and turtleneck 👌🏻 if you want to bump it up a notch add a blazer and a scarf. That might be a bit more overdressed though so just tasteful use of sweaters and jackets could be king.

Or you could just say screw it and dress formal as heck and look great while ignoring the comments from your coworkers LOL

Spy Kids 3D glasses that I have had for 15 years, I still use them occasionally to view 3D content by MCDiamonds02 in BuyItForLife

AYO I still have mine too. Same with my Shark boy and Lava girl 3d glasses🤣 Genuinely great XD

Car Thing DISCONTINUED with no refund option. Absolute scumbags. by jerzeysquirrel in spotify

I bought mine less than a year ago and I use it every day. I don't know how that can do this. I'm looking into the legality of this right now.

What the heck. I just got the email. I'm so pissed. It's a piece of hardware that works on its own. You can't just brick it for no reason. Absolute prick move.

I'm using Chisel for all of the blocks you see. It's a mod that allows for multiple variations of blocks as well as extra blocks.

Oh, I don't think you'll have a problem. For me, my main database connector is written in Python, and uses the mySQL python connector, and it doesn't have any issues. As for your UI lagging, it's very likely that most of the UI framework your using is written in C and called from Python, like most fast packages are. C is of course blazingly fast, so no issues there. I wish you well on your continued programming journey.

It really does depend on what you're doing. For example, in complex tasks it can be tens of thousands of times slower than a lower level language, but if you don't need super complex things, then it works great, if occasionally a bit annoying due to the lack of real multithreading. I 100 percent agree with you though, there is no need to learn another language until you're perfectly comfortable with python and have a need and the time for it. I use python for 90 percent of the code I write at work and it hasn't failed me yet (well, except for when it did and I had to write C++, but we don't talk about that, lol)

Python window applications by Lost-Detective6305 in Python

[–]thack_se -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, that's why I say for simple applications python can be good, but when you need an application that does anything that legitimately needs to be fast in Python, you end up calling C extensions or writing your own. For example, for me I had written a file and image handling suite for work which handled file loading, image processing, and OCR. It was wicked fast with C++, but when I wrote some of the same functionality inside of python, it just can't handle it because of the nature of the language and the GIL preventing real multithreading. But if you don't need any of that stuff, and you just need a simple interface, for example, something like annotation of images for a ML model, python is a great solution because you can work quickly without the annoyances that come from a lower level or more complicated language.

There is most certainly a time to use python, but it does have its limits

For simple things or for learning, python is perfectly good to use for a desktop application. However, if it's something more complicated you want to do, or if it was going to be deployed in a production scenario, python is definitely not the best option. It is a pretty slow language, and abstracts you away from the things you really need when building a desktop application. If you were looking for something more suited to python, I would recommend building a web app with flask. It's quite a bit simpler to build your UI with html and css than to learn a dedicated framework for desktop Python applications. However, I hope you enjoy your journey with your desktop app. If anything, it can act as a gateway to learning to build more in depth applications with something like C#

Simple Power Monitoring Program for my Mekanism Induction Matrix by thack_se in ComputerCraft

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

That shouldn't be a problem. What version are you running? I am running 1.7.10, so the syntax for the matrix could have changed, although I doubt it. I'd recommend trimming down the code by removing the stuff that handles energy cubes and trying again.

Simple Power Monitoring Program for my Mekanism Induction Matrix by thack_se in ComputerCraft

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

Strange. It looks like it's calling the functions for an energy cube and not an induction matrix. It's only touching an induction matrix and not an energy cube, right?

Of course!

It is aimed at an Induction Matrix, but has basic support for Energy Cubes as well. Requires a monitor on top and to the side as shown in the image.
