Mateo

@hbdgaf Yeah, that combo works too ;)

hbdgaf

When I saw that, I was like "wow, they're REALLY friendly..."

Mateo

@hbdgaf how is your project going

hbdgaf

slow plodding progress. finished the multiprocessing on both fetches and precomputes. next steps are migration to sql after all the number crunching, searches, and graphing. thinking about pinging sentdex about a quick "here's a summary of the most useful parts of your 30 videos, that i can put out in one ten minute spot", but i suppose that would go over like a fart in church.

Another useful feature of having decent headphones with an amp...you can use them as speakers if you want :D

hbdgaf

00:54

looking at to_dict for a pandas frame and moving closer to core on flask to get it done. as of flask 0.10 that looks like the right thing to do, but it means i have to use pip instead of ubuntu packages. pandas and flask are significantly behind on LTS

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf What project is this?

Mateo

Ah

hbdgaf

@RPiAwesomeness github.com/aking1012/pandastalib - using pandas and flask to precompute all the things in talib and make it browseable/searchcable offline at your leisure. also adding some additional precomputes and features.

Mateo

A video might be nice showing off, but yeah specifically showing what everyone else does wrong... I would stick to showing what it does well, like in political vedeos ;p

RPi Awesomeness

Coding pandas?

hbdgaf

00:58

@Mateo definitely right. I wouldn't get loud about it... just sort of a "Six videos on fetching data from yahoo? how about from pandas import web. web.fetch(YAHOO, FLWS). Have some flowers"

That's the ticker I use for debugging purposes btw.

Haven't committed in a while, but it's mostly related because I haven't stopped after I finish a feature and pushed... and I don't want to push broken crap to github.

Joshua Robison

so i could be going about this the wrong way all together but....

i have a massive source.list file

it includes all my keys and ppas and install history

when i reinstall a sysytem im back up in no time

plus i have detailed sections for different software depending on what de im using

but i have three different work stations

i dont want to sync this source.list file between them but i do want to be able to easily access it

from any station

im thinking that syncing this file to a cloud service would help

what do any of you do? Do you all just rebuild your source list from scratch every time you reinstall a system

Journeyman Geek

@JoshuaRobison: I tend to rebuild the sources.list, and try to stick to default repos where possible.

Joshua Robison

you dont have different machines with different purposes running different DEs?

me and the wife have elementary on our home laptop . ive got gnome on my work laptop and then weve got kde on the media desktop we use for gaming and tv

Journeyman Geek

14:04

@JoshuaRobison: I tend to have a base build for a role

I've had my webserver get rebuilt thrice ;p

3 different LTSes

Joshua Robison

since i have to keep these all up to date, and the media machine gets worked to death, ive got to have it back in shape when some bug screws everything up trying to get some software working etc

Journeyman Geek

yeah - I tend to dump packages list

A: How do I "duplicate" a server?

If all else fails, there's the old fashioned way - On Ubuntu or debian,use dpkg --get-selections to dump out a list of installed packages, and install them with dpkg --set-selections. The equivalent of this for red hat based distros is yum-debug-dump and yum-debug-restore (optionally with --insta...

Joshua Robison

the thing about a package list is that can only help if you werent using some PPA

Journeyman Geek

yeah

Joshua Robison

but for gaming and all the craziness i do with this thing.....

Journeyman Geek

but I avoid those ;p

Joshua Robison

my source.liist file is a monster

Journeyman Geek

mine's .... stock

don't PPAs have a different source file?

Joshua Robison

sure if you install them through the terminal

Joshua Robison

but then they are way too hard to manage

That's the only way I do package installs and management ;p

Q: Why do 'adding tags' edits get rejected?

Many times (about 10) I have added tags to a question, and every single time they get rejected, Why is this? Surely we need people who can organise the questions into the right tags... don't we?

discussion tags suggested-edits retagging

Nathan Osman

I submitted an add-on update to AMO (the Firefox add-on page) on March 5. It is now July 6. And it still hasn't been reviewed. "Queue Position: 6 of 153"

Mateo

15:59

Getting closer :/

Mateo

16:19

@AskUbuntuMeta @Seth @jrg can we bring that one back, i was making an answer going through the broad tags he was using...

jrg

He was the one who deleted it... not sure I'm comfortable telling a user "Your content will always be undeleted!"

because that's how it'll come across.

ask the user! maybe they have a reason for deleting it.

Mateo

still, he asked. and still dosn't understand, need to answer it...

terdon

@Mateo Perhaps it was in response to my comment:

> Please edit your question and include the specific edits that were rejected. Don't expect us to go over your account and check each one. From the ones I saw, a couple were rejected automatically because another, subsequent, edit conflicted with yours (the more comprehensive of the two is usually accepted), and the rest were bad edits: they added tags that did not help define the question (things like version tags and meta-tags). I think you have probably not understood the tag system.

That wasn't too aggressive though, was it?

Mateo

well, I guess that might get the point across, if that is what he saw before deleting...

terdon

shrugs

Mateo

16:23

plus, i was going to quote the tag descriptions, a lot of them said "this is too broad, don't use unless..." type of stuff

terdon

All I wanted was a list of the edits they felt were rejected wrongly.

Mateo

well, I was going to put the smack down, and go through all of them ;)

hbdgaf

I'm just wondering if the EFF will get involved and lobby for an exclusionary rule regarding encryption.

jrg

</sarcasm

@hbdgaf honestly, I think the EFF is going to find themselves marked as a hate group in the not-so-distant future.

And then the ACLU will go to bat for them, and find their non-profit status removed.

hbdgaf

That's possible. I guess doing the right things most of the time and being loud about it does have penalties.

jrg

Ok, maybe not hate group. But something like that. Maybe terrorist group, or insurrectionist. Or something.

I predict that before 2020, the EFF will no longer exist. And it won't be because the situation got better and they decided to go home.

I hope I'm wrong, I really, really do. But the latest round of the cryptowars hasn't been kind. And they've got so many things going on that I don't think they'll be able to focus.

hbdgaf

I know what you mean, upping the classification of "threat level" for EFF would certainly be bad.

jrg

While I wasn't alive during the previous cryptowar, I have read up on it. And this one is worse. Can't even use the book version of PGP now as a distrobution mechanism. :(
