@penguin42 @pro Yeah, Electroboom showed that in one of his videos, but it's a bit dangerous.
@pro @penguin42 You get 220-230v in houses because it's basically pulling off both taps of the transformer, while the 110-115v pull from one tap, and the center tap. The only places you get 208v is when you're in apartments and you're instead pulling off two different phases of the electric grid. You should be able to get an electrician to install an outlet for 230v, but it takes two slots in your breaker box. (Breaker boxes alternate ends of the transformer.)
re: Thoughts about guns
@strawberryfieldsforever @vital876 @ghost_bird @Simplicity_teal I used to live in a country where there were "none having guns". It was a dystopian nightmare, the street crime was out of control. One time I walked home from a bus stop (public transit: another dystopian nightmare), and they've beaten me up and took my wedding ring, because I had nothing else. They attacked me because I had an empty cardboard box that I took from work. Another ttime they attacked me because I was wearing a jacket that was too good (I escaped by a miracle, my clothes were soaked in blood). Etc. etc. American is a million times safer with all the guns. People who think that no guns leads to paradise like in Japan have no clue. U.S. is not populated by the Japanese.
@pro Yeah, a lot of python has gotten a bit silly about that since the whole "lets build everything with Pandas!" trend started. Just noting that using C++ written libraries wasn't the only way to avoid the cost of python language for loops. Really it's the cost of the interpreter loop itself, and a for loop just means you're doing lots of interpreter loops. If you're trying to either transform a list, or extract parts out of a list, a list comprehension is far better than a for.
@deprecated_ii Heh. I agree that for loops are slow, but using the batteries isn't always the solution. Another solution is List and Dictionary Comprehensions. Written correctly, those will take a single loop of the interpreter, while a for loop will take many loops of the interpreter.
https://returnyoutubedislike.com/ This is one of those instances of the internet treating censorship as damage, and routing around it. Apparently it will now collect any time someone using the extension dislikes a video, and will share it via the extension's servers.
@deprecated_ii Honestly, Python makes certain things so much quicker to code that you can write things very quickly with it. Simple database functions that take dozens of lines in C can be done in a single line with Python. Code that takes one list in, transforms it, and spits another list out can be a single line in python and still be readable, while you're fighting with the memory management in C. You wouldn't want to use it super frequently used code, but for dev tools its fine.
@union Lame. Glad I never signed up there. I didn't particularly care about the political orientation of where I went, just that it was distributed and harder to censor.
@Cheeseness I compared this to last year's big bundle, and this one has at least 40 items that weren't included last year, so it's still a really good deal even if you picked that one up.
@Marko John Campbell's been doing videos on this, basically the people doing injections aren't aspirating the needle to check if they're in muscle or a blood vessel because It's not part of their standard practice to do this. If it is injected into the blood stream it can cause these problems, so they should probably be checking this.
@Clifford Also, there's instructions https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.10/Doc here on compiling the docs, then you could use w3m or lynx to browse them, probably.
@Clifford The cpython repository has the entire library reference from the website in it. Doc/library/ all as .rst files, so you can grep them or edit them directly.
@union @Johncdvorak (After all, the "who benefits" of discrediting mRNA vaccines? Also the CCP, because their vaccines are some of the only ones other than India's and Novavax that don't use either DNA or mRNA technology.)
