It would be a nice start if the EU could stop inking passports on the way in and out as well as computer recording it all. Such a waste of time and ink
Using multiple processes is simpler in terms of locks etc, but python libraries like multiprocessing or even subprocess.popen[1] which make using multiple processes seem easy are full of footguns which cause deadlocks due to fork-safe code not being well understood. I’ve seen this lead to code ‘working’ and being merged but then triggering sporadic deadlocks in production after a few weeks.
The default for multiprocessing is still to fork (fortunately changing in 3.14), which means all of your parent process’ threaded code (incl. third party libraries) has to be fork-safe. There’s no static analysis checks for this.
This kind of easy to use but incredibly hard to use safely library has made python for long running production services incredibly painful in my experience.
[1] Some arguments to subprocess.popen look handy but actually cause python interpreter code to be executed after the fork and before the execve, which has caused production logging-related deadlocks for me. The original author was very bright but didn’t notice the footgun.
It depends massively on your climate and how air in your house is managed.
If you live somewhere which is significantly colder outside than in (e.g. 0-5C out, 21C inside) heating outside air to comfortable temperatures will greatly decrease humidity. Couple this with a system which circulates air, or even exchanges inside&outside air and you will have incredibly low humidity inside.
I live somewhere which often sees 10-15C @ 80% humidity over winter, and the only air circulation in my house is from opening doors/windows. 70% internal humidity @21C is incredibly common. It takes a bit of moisture management to keep it below 60%.
I have a UK Jeep Renegade which beeps on lock/unlock & is not possible to disable - drives me nuts. Various websites online claim it can be disabled in menus which don’t appear for me. The one workaround appears to be putting the car in Dutch mode but the Jeep garage couldn’t do it as they were worried for the computer in other areas. If anyone knows how to work around this I’d be keen to know!
