Re: The quickest way to cool your car down

Matt Burns — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 08:35:50 -0000

Another tip to prevent the car getting hot it is to use rear sunshades that stick to the glass (and therefore minimise radiant heat entering the car).

The Shady also allows you to open the windows, so you can still open all the windows when you first return to your hot car: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp...

Re: Building an automatic backup verification pipeline: Elasticsearch edition

Matt Burns — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 08:56:54 -0000

Do you mean running something like this every 5 minutes? :

.if (countMetric("backupVerified").since(now()-24h) < 0) { ...result = verifybackup() ...if result.success { .....recordMetric("backupVerifed", now()) ...} else { .....raiseAlert() ...} .}

Thanks for sharing. Triggering the verification using lambda once a backup is written is very efficient and reduces latency to knowing that a backup is invalid. However, I can imagine a scenario where the backups are failing to be written at all and not even noticing...
Personally, I think I'd prefer the verification process to run at the same frequency as the backups (eg, nightly or whatever). Thoughts?

Wow, congratulations Tom! 2nd overall is also fantastic (perhaps more impressive?). That Mr Davies also sounds a bit handy!

Hi Amber, it will be re-compressed but we take care to ensure that we do so in a way that doesn't affect the noticeable quality when printed. -Matt

I'm afraid you need to make the photo black and white first, then just upload that.

Arg! That's obviously not right. What do you see when you visit your basket? -> http://www.oddprints.com/ch...

Hi Louise, the Prints are normally printined and shipped the same, or following working day. They then normally arrive the working day after that in the UK, or 2 days in the US. Matt

Hi Emily, sorry to hear that. We've been having some reports of payment problems recently. Is there a reference number when you see the error message? Apologies, Matt

I'm afraid we can't print that large at present. Sorry, Matt

Hi, thanks for the order. It should arrive this week, probably Wednesday.
They aren't pre-cut, you have to cut them yourself but it's really easy with guidelines.
Cheers,

Hi Katy, the paper we use has a "Lustre" finish which is half-way between "Matte" and "Gloss". (I'd say more matte than gloss)
