When you think about it, valve gear for both steam engines and internal combustion engines is a form of mechanical computer. :3c

particularly steam engines because the engineer changed the cutoff dynamically to match the load and also maximize efficiency.

Carburetor vs Fuel Injection - Why Motorcycle Riders Should Think Again
Modern motorcycles are switching to fuel injection, but why? It's not the reasons we think, and that makes us reconsider a carburetor in our future.
Unknown parent
You don't need a carburetor for that. The EFI CRF450RL I traded in a while back had the same issue and had a knob for both setting the idle and kicking the RPM up to start to begin with. It would sometimes just die when giving it throttle if you didn't get both the idle right and have the knob pulled for long enough. :(
I wouldn't mind test riding or renting a BMW R-series bike to see what they're really like. :3 #motorcycle

Anyone know how to read tar files from a pipe in #Python? I'm getting this error when using
tarfile.open(path, mode="r|"): File "lib/python3.12/tarfile.py", line 690, in read
self.fileobj.seek(offset + (self.position - start))
File "lib/python3.12/tarfile.py", line 522, in seek
raise StreamError("seeking backwards is not allowed")

It looks like to write over a pipe, open the file first and pass the handle to tarfile. Might work for reading too?

python tarfile writes tar to pipe
I want to create a tar file and pipe it to a http upload. However, seems python tarfile module performs seek which make it impossible to pipe to the next process. Here is the code tar = tarfile....Stack Overflow

The solution ended up being replacing
intar.extractfile(info.name) with intar.extractfile(info). πreshared this

To this day, I still prefer sprite-based graphics and other hand-drawn animation over 3-D graphics. :3
