How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ?
  • I’m really sensitive to light when I sleep. I’ve got blackout curtains, no annoying little lights on any devices, the usual. One of the advantages is that by having a smart light bulb set to gradually turn on alongside my alarm, it really wakes me the hell up. Maybe try incorporating a light to yours?

    Boeing's Starliner Lands Successfully, but Without Its Astronauts on Board.
  • Also worth mentioning that as the ISS was being constructed, its planned retirement was to be about 2015. We’ve been able to massively extend its operational period, which is awesome, but the materials can’t last forever.

    Have you ever tasted your pet's food?
  • I bought some fancy biscuits for my dogs from a local company. Ingredients are basically oats, cheddar, bacon, rosemary. I could 100% kill this whole bag if my dogs didn’t look so devastated when I ate their special treats.

    I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta!
  • I joined in the last beta wave because of your post here on lemmy. Big fan! Personally I’m looking forward to combat features most of all but the pace of development seems strong regardless and I’m enjoying all the new content.

    What smell do you love that you’re not supposed to love?
  • Potassium cyanide. We used a very dilute form of it as a laboratory reagent (a safer alternative to its cousin hydrogen cyanide, in case that’s what you’re thinking of). It just smells clean - sort of like a candle that’s labeled as “fresh laundry” or “spring breeze”.

    Does drinking coffee have any effects on a sore throat?
  • The words you said aren’t wrong, but in this context it seems like you’re suggesting that the honey in tea might have a similar effect when consumed. That’s not at all supported by this study. Much of honey’s antimicrobial effects are (1) due to its high sugar concentration, and (2) in reference to topical applications. Those conditions don’t exist here.

    Recommend me a scripting language
  • My go to for most of what you mention is Go, but that’s obviously a compiled language and not for scripting. Or is it - What do you think about https://github.com/traefik/yaegi, which provides an interpreter and REPL for Go? It would let you use a performant and well documented language in a more portable scripting way, but not preclude you from generating statically linked binaries if and when that’s convenient.

    Man accused of poisoning child with eyedrops after allegedly killing wife same way
  • This was my favorite detail of the master plan:

    Joshua Hunsucker had told two coworkers that if he killed someone he would do so using eyedrops, according to court documents.

    If Clinton, Trump, and Did Not Vote were presidential candidates in 2016
  • I believe this is based on survey data where they asked who folks would vote for and included “none of the above” as an option. It doesn’t mean that those people didn’t, in the end, select a candidate to vote for. It just represents a general displeasure with the options available.

    Do you ever use the Internet Archive for anything?
  • I just bought and restored some older but well-built deck furniture. Each piece had a badge on it with a company name and URL, but the site is long gone. Popped it into the wayback machine and instantly learned all about the furniture, its maker, and how much it cost back in the day, which was really neat.

    Are there any macro pads that can be programmed via a text file stored onboard?
  • I mean, I don’t know how comfortable I’d be bringing one to work, but the behavior you’re looking for (complex macros with swappable config files) remind me of pentesting devices like the Rubber Ducky.

    Ancient news rule
  • Holy shit why did this man spend so much time defending these despicable positions?

    …together with the dishonest law that labels sex with adolescents as “rape” even if they are willing, we cannot tell from this article…

    These are dangerous and disgusting views.

    What Am I Doing Wrong?
  • It looks like you’ve already found an answer, but I have some follow up thoughts if you’re open. Seems like this Python script is used to determine system architecture, to facilitate running in many different environments. However, once you move into a Dockerfile, you have strict control over what arch you’re using (via selection of a base image). Rather than adding Python to the image, you might be able to cut out this conditional and simply hard-code the path which is appropriate for you.

    (Solved) Question about Python-packages
  • There’s already some good advice here, especially about virtual environments which might be the most important new concept to learn IMO. But just to let you know - it’s not just you. The most generous view of the Python package situation is that there are a lot of different ways to do it.
