ToxicFrog: AIUI, the reason for Al-wire's reputation is a confluence of
00:43
<@macdjord|slep>
* It is significantly less conductive than copper and so requires thicker wire for the same current, but when it was first introduced, building codes had not been updated to reflect this
00:43
<@macdjord|slep>
* It is substantially cheaper than copper, and it became available in the middle of a housing boom when experienced electricians and construction contractors were in short supply
00:43
<@macdjord|slep>
So Al-wire rapidly became a favorite of (inexperienced|cheap) builders who used it as if it were copper because (they didn't know any better|didn't care to do the job right) and were likely to (make mistakes|cut corners) elsewhere too, and thhere was no one to (tell them how|force them to) do it properly.

<&ToxicFrog>
abudhabi: the ends rotting is, AIUI, an issue specific to using non-Al-rated fixtures with Al wiring.

<@sshine>
does anyone know if GitHub Actions should be explicitly enabled in a GitHub organization?
00:46
<@sshine>
e.g. https://github.com/sshine/evm-opcodes/actions -- here it works flawlessly. https://github.com/Pilatus-IT/Sword-REST/actions -- here nothing happens when I push to master.
00:53
<@sshine>
ah, has something to do with runners.

This note says they're looking for help with optimization problems involving multiple rapid feedback loops as large commercial actors alter consumption in response to spot price, while the power company is also trying to alter production on the fly... this looks messy at first glance.

As in, repeatedly poll the URL and append new lines to the output?
19:03
<@abudhabi>
Repeatedly poll the URL and redraw the output.
19:33
<&McMartin>
That sounds like a two-line shell-script
19:44
<&ToxicFrog>
That sounds like `watch curl -s $url`
20:10
<@abudhabi>
Nice.
20:11
<@abudhabi>
Hm. watch doesn't have colors.
20:12
<&ToxicFrog>
`watch -c` does
20:12
<&ToxicFrog>
It has a number of other useful options documented in the man page, like hilighting what changed between updates.
