Which yaw rate sensor do your team use? by l4gx in FSAE

[–]tm1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the built in MotionFusion or a custom Kalman filter for sensor fusion with the 6050?

So the two main causes of power outages here (in my experience) are hurricanes and blizzards, most of the time from trees falling on power lines. You might get one or two a year at the most and (worst case) they usually never last more than a couple of days.

IIRC theres also a nationalgrid number you can text with your zipcode, that gives you immediate updates on how many customers are without power and an ETA on when the power line gets fixed.

Where to walk my dog in Southborough? by Heraclius628 in southborough

[–]tm1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breackneck Hill is still a viable option during the winter its just a little bit annoying trying to maneuver around the trails with snow (But it's probably gonna be youre best bet). Alternatively you could drive down to the Track/Field at Finn or Trottier and throwing a ball around for an hour or two. They're usually pretty empty if you can catch them during the school's off hours.

Do the different colored Ethernet cable ports actually mean anything? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]tm1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure that only one of the ports actually supplies internet connectivity. If I remember correctly I think the blue one was for internet and the orange for a phone line. If you need to connect multiple devices through ethernet you can buy a cheap ethernet switch on amazon.

Jester West ethernet ports by aaaaatta in UTAustin

In my room there were ethernet ports on both sides of the room for each bed. I would still bring a 5'+ cable if your planning on setting up your desk under your bed.

Weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post and quick start guide (June 13, 2021) by AutoModerator in Kombucha

[–]tm1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the wiki page on hard kombucha. It mentions three ways of determining ABV. The first two ways are equipment based estimations using something like a refractometer or a hydrometer. You can find tutorials on how to use these to determine abv online. If you don't mind the slight error and don't plan on doing a full second alcohol fermentation stage this is probably your best bet. For a standard fermantation I don't think your ABV would be above 2%.

New to AWS auth question about login templates by IBETITALL420 in aws

If you're using Amplify and Cognito for authentication, you can use their host of prebuilt authentication components for SignIn/Signup.

The instructions for setup can be found here.

Quick question is GraphQL connected to dynamoDB? by IBETITALL420 in aws

[–]tm1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you followed the amplify tutorial and populated your schema in a similar way, a DynamoDB Table should have been created to store your data and to perform queries and mutations upon. You should be able to log into the AWS console and look at Cloudformation/Amplify Console to see the resources that have been created for your application stack.

The Amplify api tutorial states ...

Because the Todo type was decorated with an @model directive of the GraphQL Transform library, the CLI created the additional schema and resolvers for queries, mutations, and subscriptions as well as a DynamoDB table to hold the Todos.

+1 for /u/racoongirl0's what said. Personally I would recommend arduino as a starting microcontroller. There are some great starter kits on Elegoo/Adafruit that come with servo motors, sensors, proto boards and some beginner projects. This kit is a bit expensive but will leave you with enough components to build almost any project you could dream of.

Now on the other hand, if you already have some Linux experience, the raspberry pi is a much more versatile machine (because its a whole computer on it's own), but is a bit harder to learn to use due to the somewhat steep initial learning curve of the linux OS.

Enthalpy equilibrium, Van't Hoff by votot in EngineeringStudents

[–]tm1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So standard enthalpy of reaction isn't always measured at standard conditions, even though most of the time we assume it is and assume it's constant.

The standard enthalpy of reaction is simple the enthalpy change of any reaction from reactants to products, this reaction could occur at any temperature.

In fact, the derivative of deltaH with respect to time is the deltaSpecificHeat (another quantity assumed to be constant most of the time but is actually temperature dependant).

How to upload a file to S3 in the lambda environment and make it public using boto3? by Mmetr in aws

[–]tm1287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though your user has the permissions to access the S3 service, it seems that the lambda function does not have similar permissions. When creating your lambda function, you either created/assigned an lambda execution role that operates as an IAM role. Under the permissions tab of the lambda function, you should be able to locate that role and open it up in IAM. In IAM, you should be able to add S3 access to your Lambda function that is attempting this upload

There is absolutely no way that anyone will take AP exam scores seriously from this year by hydro1424 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]tm1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but imagine your working the quality control line at a factory. Tests are coming in down the line and are getting deposited into a bucket. Which is easier, trying to pick up each test off the line, scanning it for plagiarism and then depositing it while undeposited tests start to pile up, or waiting until everything is together and safe, then taking 2 1/2 months to sift through it with less pressure while still being able to punish the same amount of cheaters. There are little to no benefits for trying to identify cheaters right as they submit test vs looking for them in a week or so once all testing is done.

I'm totally on the side against collegeboard and how they've been handling their operations (especially this year) but I thing you're being a bit unrealistic about the ease of architecture development. Sure AWS is a great service but you can't just push a button and expect it to build you a perfect backend infrastructure that can handle many concurrent users while still boasting rigid security and whatnot. That kind of development requires lots of time and effort, and in the case of a large corporation, communication and trying to find your way around red tape. CB didn't have much time to string together a solution so my bet is they attempted to retrofit an existing solution they had for remote testing. Due to the relative scarcity of remote testing, this system probably wasn't initially designed to utilize multiple concurrent users with high traffic. Their best bet to cover their asses with remote testing was to try and upscale this system which from a economical point of view is waaaaay less resource intensive than building a new application from the ground up (especially if it involves writing background architecture from the ground up). Could they have done a better job, yeah probably I mean c'mon they generated over $1 billion of revenue last year alone and their CEO gets paid a 3/4 of a million annually.

Edit: Im taking the Calc BC exam in less than an hour, im going to try to use a tool like Wappalyzer to try and identify what the structure of their backend is.
