Serg Teach me python programming for $100000

Serg

12:09 AM

There's 3 problems

Henry WH Hack v2.0

What?

Serg

#1 : I don't have teaching license . #2 : I know only a little bit of python, not a pro . #3 : you don't have $100000

But you can always read my answers on AskUbuntu that are in python :) Or read source code of my github stuff

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Okay

I finally setup my live streamed it's %100 better than nathan's live stream. :)

@Serg Wait Teaching License?

Serg

@HenryWHHackv2.0 yes, i am studying engineering in college , not education major :)

on one hand , I'd love to shred all the papers from CS 2 class with Gurka

it was quite a painful experience

but then again, i have working code. . . .

ug what should i do

Journeyman Geek

@HenryWHHackv2.0 find a problem. Try to solve it.

Best way to learn anything

Henry WH Hack v2.0

12:17 AM

@Serg Okay want to see the stream %100 good it's about me coding crappy code.

@JourneymanGeek Thank You! :)

Serg

@HenryWHHackv2.0 sure. where you streaming ? YouTube ?

ok, tuning in 5 mins

what are you going to stream

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Reload

3 MB/s up :(

Thomas Ward

12:21 AM

@HenryWHHackv2.0 3 megabytes per second is not shabby lol

Henry WH Hack v2.0

This stream is bad.

Serg

subscribed :) i also have channel . Check out some of my short demos of the scripts i wrote

Henry WH Hack v2.0

The illumanti hacked me :O

Thomas Ward

no, that was the Dark Lord Sauron.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@ThomasWard Who?

Thomas Ward

12:33 AM

Sauron

Sauron /ˈsaʊrɒn/ is the title character and main antagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. In the same work, he is identified as the Necromancer, mentioned in Tolkien's earlier novel The Hobbit. In Tolkien's The Silmarillion (published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien), he is also described as the chief lieutenant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Tolkien noted that the "angelic" powers of his constructed myth "were capable of many degrees of error and failing", but by far the worst was "the absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of Morgoth and his satellite Sauron"....

has been on a LOTR binge recently, needs help to break out of it

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Basically, the evil one.

goes to do something productive instead of reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy again

edwinksl

^like watching the trilogy in film instead?

Serg

ok, im gonna go watch something else for a bit

Henry WH Hack v2.0

:)

Thomas Ward

@edwinksl Like coding. I was working on making my DNS customized-utility scripts a lot more powerful by taking them from Bash and making them Pythonified.

was going to create a python script that helps generate the templates for a new website domain, too, so I don't have to have too much extra crud in my base template.

Serg

@edwinksl just a small question ， don't answer if you think it's pointless : should i throw away some of the assignments from a class i totally hated ? i mean, it's fairly decent code ,but just brings back too much negative

edwinksl

12:38 AM

@Serg i have thrown away hard copies of almost all my past classes

Thomas Ward

@Serg I had that same question. Steal the snippets you think are useful, or write out the theory behind it in a way you can execute later. Then torch the code base.

edwinksl

if you have soft copies, then keep them and recycle the printed things ;D

Thomas Ward

I did this for sixty older code repos from when I was at Carnegie Mellon University I had sitting around on a hard drive I was going to repurpose

Serg

yeah, i do have soft copies

probably will do both , read over them , see if anything is useful and nuke em

Thomas Ward

the EMP beam is in the corner for when you need it :)

edwinksl

12:40 AM

i think you should keep the codebases though and read through them quickly and see what you want to keep/nuke

Thomas Ward

34 secs ago, by Serg

probably will do both , read over them , see if anything is useful and nuke em

the practical approach :)

find useful bits, torch the rest

now where's my coffee...

can't code without coffee

2

edwinksl

the more practical approach is you would probably end up like me and actually never read the code ever again ;)

but for all practical purposes, i could have just deleted all my old things and my life is still the same

also i think NSA and KGB have soft copies of whatever useful info i own, so if i ask them nicely, i can get a copy too :)

@ThomasWard dis u? amazon.com/turn-Coffee-T-shirt-Programmer-Shirt/dp/B00KJO1TO8

Serg

kek, i doubt they will

Thomas Ward

lol

@edwinksl At some level, yes.

edwinksl

@ThomasWard you will make a good graduate student

Android Dev

12:46 AM

@Mitch It just needs something to go completely over the top at the end. Like giving the address of the ISP.

What the heck??? askubuntu.com/questions/802897/install-as-a-folder

0

A: Install as a folder

In a word: no. The closest you could get to that would be Wubi. But it is not recommended to use that.

edwinksl

@AndroidDev lol yeah no idea what that question is about

Thomas Ward

@edwinksl not going into grad school. Not a programmer.

Security and Risk Analysis, Information and Cyber Security focus.

'tis my major

couple that with the linux sysadmin certs and some security certs, and i'm lined up for IT security work

(which i already do a little of now heh)

edwinksl

plzzz dun hack meeeeee

Android Dev

@edwinksl Hand over your IP....

edwinksl

:'(

Android Dev

12:52 AM

@edwinksl Hey, I'd be a free pentest :)

edwinksl

lol

Serg

@AndroidDev ok, here is my ip: 192.168.0.78

Android Dev

@Serg :P

gansub

@Zacharee1 @Serg - no answers to my question

and Zach I tried reinstalling Intel graphics libraries no go

still stuck

Zacharee1

then reinstall Ubuntu with /home on a separate partition

Serg

1:03 AM

well . . . time to bounty on it

Zacharee1

I'm going to make @Serg tell you how to back it up and move it and such

because I have a terrible headache

gansub

ok thanks

i have a 2 TB seagate disk

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 Been staring at your monitor too long?

gansub

most of the stuff is on it already

Zacharee1

@AndroidDev fluorescent lights

Android Dev

1:04 AM

@Zacharee1 Ah.

Serg

already received the drive ? @gansub very well . Do you want me to put bounty on the question or do you want to go ahead with reinstalling ?

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 A quick trip to the Home Depot should fix that...

gansub

@Serg - i think bounty is not available till tomorrow unless you got plenipotentiary powers

Serg

yeah, i dont see option for it yet

edwinksl

plenipotentiary... interesting choice of word

gansub

1:06 AM

@edwinksl - I mean complete freedom to act as he wishes

without anybody monitoring him

edwinksl

i know what it means ;)

Serg

well, i am a regular user, not a moderator, so i don't have any special powers

IanC

good evening!

Android Dev

@Serg - Could oli do it?

Serg

@ThomasWard do mods have power to put bounties before 2 day period ends ?

@AndroidDev i don't know , but someone might

Android Dev

1:09 AM

@ByteCommander Where did you get it?

Seth

@Serg no. Not sure why they would..

Serg

moderators are mysterious creatures , we don't know the full extent of their powah

@gansub well, how do you wanna do this ? Try the bounty tomorrow or go ahead with reinstalling ?

gansub

@Serg - wait till tomorrow

meanwhile what should I do to prepare for reinstall ?

edwinksl

no harm reinstalling with 16.04 imo

gansub

aaaaah I have to download 16.04

URL ?

Serg

1:11 AM

@gansub do you have installation USB with 16.04 ?

Android Dev

@Seth Do you have to e-sign a form that says you can't extrapolate on your full powers?

gansub

@Serg no

URL ?

Seth

@AndroidDev uhhhh, what?

This is what we have to sign.

Serg

@gansub ok, let's make that. ubuntu.com/download/desktop

gansub

OK downloading 10 hours to go :-)

Android Dev

1:14 AM

@Seth There was that post Oli did on Meta where he said he couldn't reveal anything else.

gansub

@Serg do I need to write this to a CD Or USB pen drive will do ?

Serg

DVD or USB pen drive, either one is OK

whatever is more convenient for you. Personally, i prefer USB. They're faster

gansub

fine @Serg - it is early morning here. I will go for a walk. Cool my nerves and rejoin later on :-)

Serg

ok , will see you later :)

gansub

folks thanks to Serg and Zach first time I am doing an 'international' OS reinstall

all previous oS installs completely national or local

edwinksl

1:18 AM

what do you mean by international?

gansub

well I mean I am in a different country Serg in a different country

both of in different time zones

and among Serg and Zach different time zones

it is all exciting

part of the Ubuntu drama

Serg

it sure is interesting

gansub

cant't get it with Windows that is for sure

Serg

meanwhile , i probably should ping my friends in China, it's also morning there

gansub

they have been having floods

really serious floods

edwinksl

1:21 AM

china been having floods for millenias

gansub

but none as bad as of the recent ones

cars floating etc

edwinksl

the end is near area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/101434/home-work-site

gansub

by the way what is the average download speed in the US ?

edwinksl

where are you from gansub

gansub

Northern India

Serg

1:24 AM

Well , if it is fiber optics from Google, it's blazing fast

IanC

@edwinksl the first question is epic!

gansub

I get 50 kbps per second

hahaha

is that slow ?

@IanC xD

1:25 AM

i have no idea

gansub

sometimes 100 kbps at night

occasionally a 200 kbps but very very rare

IanC

guys, I was wondering, there is 'rm' and 'shred', because of those HD recovery software that can recover deleted stuff because they are still in the hard drive

Seth

@AndroidDev do you have a link to the post? There are things we don't reveal as a matter of course, like suspension details, but that's mostly it.

IanC

is there any software that just 'shreds' the portion of the HD that is not used?

I was even thinking of doing one myself, would create a file of 0x00 until all HD free space was occupied and then delete it

Serg

test ran with youtube playing

gansub

1:28 AM

ttyl

Serg

\o

Android Dev

@gansub Ouch.

@Seth I'll have to find it.

Nah , i am peaceful guy, i don't kidnap . . .

Zacharee1

@Serg not so sure about the English part >:)

Serg is an exception to the (apparently accurate) Soviet stereotype

Serg

@Zacharee1 doeth thou not believe in me 1337 skillz ?

Zacharee1

I rest my case

Serg

well, techincally i was born in USSR, but grew up in Ukraine

plus i never fit stereotypes that well

edwinksl

hi

CodeX

in News: Facebook admits blocking WikiLeaks’ DNC email links, but won’t say why

Nathan Osman

@Serg I've almost finished putting the finishing touches on something you might like to try. It's a Django project generator. You fill in a few fields about the application you want to build and the tool will generate a Django project. But it doesn't stop there. It generates a docker-compose.yml file that you can use to run a full web+DB+reverse-proxy stack in Docker.

All without writing a line of code.

Serg

Oooo , sounds exciting . . . . When we can check it out ?

CodeX

@Serg is it hot today

Serg

2:50 AM

@CodeX yeah, it's totally 373 Kelvin today

why do i feel sleepy ? i fell asleep like at 6 am and woke up at 1 pm

and it's only 9 pm

CodeX

boredom ?

Nathan Osman

@Serg In about 15 minutes.

Serg

ooooo

CodeX

Since you are bored .. one python question

how to loop something in indicator to update indicator label every few seconds : indicator.set_label("this label", "")

**ignore that **

Serg

@CodeX sorry, i was AFK . . . .basically you need a thread function that will call itself every x seconds. it's kind of recursive call. Let me show you examle . . .one second

CodeX

3:04 AM

I have this threading.Timer(6.0, main).start() but for some reason not working

Serg

no

wait

    def update_label(self):
        # bunch of other blah blah code here

        # this guy calls set_app_label function
        glib.timeout_add_seconds(1, self.set_app_label)

    def set_app_label(self):
        # and this guy loops back to update_label function
        self.update_label()

There . . . . Somewhere in the main code , call self.update_label() And it will loop forever and ever

@CodeX

And in case you want to see it in practice, look at my code of power-flow-indicator github.com/SergKolo/power-flow-indicator/blob/master/…

CodeX

ok I will try that .. thanks a lot @Serg

Serg

maybe there's easier way to do it . . . but this works for me

You're very welcome

Nathan Osman

Deploying...

edwinksl

@NathanOsman similar to github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter?

right. thx

seth also streaming? HYPE

DUDE.

@Serg alright, annnnnnnd we're live! quickmediasolutions.com/django

Seth

whoa

this is some fancy software

Serg

this is like. . . . hours of work simplified

@NathanOsman by the way, if i may ask , is there a way to toggle line numbers from pastebin (meaning the one on your site)?

Nathan Osman

Yup, I'm hoping it will save me time too :D

@Serg No, but that's an idea for the future maybe.

Android Dev

pcworld.com/article/3098865/linux/…

Seth

well that was neat.

Nathan Osman

3:29 AM

What?

I tried OBS out.

Isn't it cool?

really cool.

You can put sources wherever you want on the screen.

You can have video playing in one corner, a webcam in another, etc.

And you can queue transitions between scenes.

All-in-all, it's pretty awesome.

10/10 would try again.

Serg

3:45 AM

so i made the noodles

i think too spicy. haven't tried yet

Serg

@gansub perfect. Shall we backup the files ?

how about in 1 hour's time ? :-)

Serg

sure . . .

gansub

8:20 AM

want me to write this to a CD ?

or pen drive with lots of files in it is adequate?

Serg

actually pen drive should be empty . Which ever is better for you , DVD or pen drive - it doesn't matter

gansub

so it should be empty

then I will grab a CD from the local store

and write it and get back to you

Serg

holly carp , this is so spicy

gansub

yea yea we love spicy food

Serg

i can eat spicy, but not too spicy

gansub

8:29 AM

@Serg - you ever tried Thai ?

or Malaysian - that is really spicy

try Indonesian for really hot spicy food

Thai rice noodles are fantastic

Serg

@gansub yeah, i tried a few thai dishes , but i specifically avoided very spicy ones. The Sichuan province of China has lots of spicy food. One time me and friends went to sichuan restaurant, and our sichuan friend ordered food so spicy we couldn't finish it

oh, and i love noodles

gansub

could be the chillies ?

I actually spicy is tolerable

but the chillies makes the gullet burn

Vietnamese food is fine too for me

in Indian cooking we use a lot of spices but only few sub cultures use raw chillies

off to get a CD
