Are you kiwi perchance? I’ve only heard kiwis refer to the country itself as Aussie, and I’m curious if there are other places that do the same

There are precisely two meaningfully dangerous spiders. Redbacks and Sydney Funnelwebs. The former keep to themselves, and the latter have an attitude problem because they have to live in Sydney

Both are covered by antivenin that all paramedics and emergency rooms keep.

Nobody has died from a spider bite in Australia since 1979. The Sydney funnelweb antivenin was developed in 1980.

Concrete doesn’t dry, it cures. It is quite possible to fill 3D prints with it, and it has been done.

There’s always OpenHAB

TL;DR the python code converts the yaml into a (pure) C++ program.

ESPHome is by-and-large a build system to build bespoke C++ programs. The python files you’re seeing describe how that yaml file maps to the C++ files.

The core idea is that end users (including people managing custom sensors) as much as possible only have to interact with the yaml file. The yaml file lists what components you want to run and their configurations. A component is in general a subdirectory of esphome/esphome and is intended to be independent of other components.

Those github references in the yaml pull in external components from the community. It’s roughly equivalent to dropping another folder into the source tree (noting again that you shouldn’t usually need to have the source tree at all).

Running esphome copies all used components into a separate source tree, with substitutions and variables set according to the yaml configuration (defined by the component’s python files) and builds a bespoke binary for you that will run on your device.

If you want to include code that’s not already an ESPHome component, you will need to make it into one. You can do this in place in the source tree or by creating an external component yourself. You will want to use an existing component as a template for this. Have a look for if ESPHome itself or a community component already exists first because it will make your life so much easier.

I had a similar failure rate then changed my charger and haven’t had a battery fail since. My original charger was Energiser branded, which is the most common battery where I live so I thought it had to be fine. I replaced it with an eneloop BQ-CC55. I don’t love it - it’s a fast charger and it makes batteries uncomfortably hot, but it was able to charge batteries to full health that both my energiser and trickle charger thought were dead dead. That includes energiser batteries!

Low self discharge is the standard now, Eneloop is no longer unique.

This sounds a little like the AT protocol (or my weak understanding of it). AFAICT on a protocol level your identity and personal data is decoupled from a content aggregator.

Australia’s system is IRV (for the federal government / lower house). Schulze is significantly better.

IRV has the tendency to eliminate moderate candidates in the first round (only first preferences count in the first round) which is often where Condorcet candidates lie.

IRV doesn’t enforce two parties like FPTP but it still promotes polarisation.

Debian votes using the Schulze Method, which is a Condorcet method..

Condorcet methods attempt to answer the question “who would win if we asked everyone to vote on every pair of candidates”. Most of the variations between methods deal vary only where there are cyclic preferences e.g. people vote B over A, A over C and C over B.

They’re broadly considered the fairest voting systems available and they permit a candidate that everyone thinks is okay to win over polarising candidates (unlike first past the post and IRV, but like approval voting).

Back to the numbers, the big table is the reconstruction of the pairwise votes (people actually vote by ranking candidates but the ordering is taken to show your pairwise preferences)

Below that is the Schulze process steps being carried out. At the bottom the “Schwartz set” is the set of top, cyclic candidates. There is no cycle so there is only one candidate remaining and therefore a Condorcet candidate wins (the one people in general vote over everyone else).

The important bit is further down

Our Phillips tips follow the ISO 8764-1 standard, which is compatible with the JIS standard B 4633. In fact, of the three main standards, ASME, ISO, and JIS, the least strict standard is JIS. As shown below, the JIS dimensions almost all fall within the ASME or ISO acceptable dimensions. Therefore, any Phillips screwdriver, such as our new Tekton Phillips screwdrivers, can be made to meet JIS standards. In fact, you should expect that all well-made drivers that meet the ASME or ISO standards will also meet the JIS standard.

But yes, this doesn’t make clear if this has changed over time.

And yes, I used a Phillips screwdriver in JIS and vice versa multiple times.

That’s totally fine actually

If it helps there’s a standalone version of the logic.

At a rough scan, it looks like it tries to find a best guess “main content” node by stripping unlikely nodes and then scoring each node. Element type and content contribute to the score

/**
       * Loop through all paragraphs, and assign a score to them based on how content-y they look.
       * Then add their score to their parent node.
       *
       * A score is determined by things like number of commas, class names, etc. Maybe eventually link density.
       **/

That’s disappointing to hear. Which core did you get?

It’s smaller than you’re looking for but I’d be remiss not to bring up the MNT Pocket Reform

XMPP is the standard messaging protocol. I recommend Conversations for android, but of course any worthwhile protocol has multiple independent frontends.

VLC can play anything because of its reliance on the amazing ffmpeg. MPV also uses ffmpeg, as does any video tool worth it’s salt.

The origin of the hobby 3D printer is the RepRap project, a community open hardware project. Josef Prusa was actively involved. The first printer the company actively sold - the Prusa i3 - is still on the RepRap website.

They got a bit more restrictive with their licencing terms in the recent past which is both understandable and a bit of a slap in the face to where they came from, but they’re still the most open 3D printer manufacturer.

(Not the most open 3d printer though, that award has to go to DIY only models like the Voron)
