@Tinkeringbell Good comment, Op is a new contributor tho, and a hint on why its just in the core a good question and not overall or at least a reference to the help center could have made the comment even more useful :)

How's everyone doing today?

Mithrandir

Ugh.

dhein

@avazula I am fine :) Wbu?

avazula

@Mithrandir :( sends positive wibes

@dhein yay :) tired but fine. I finally got some sleep last night o/

dhein

6:05 AM

@Mithrandir sup?

@avazula You didn't before?

series of french holidays? xP

avazula

@dhein nah, too much stress at work, huge project that's not going that well

dhein

6:24 AM

You started your new job already?

avazula

nah, it's in three weeks (!!)

dhein

Then don't stress your self with your old job to such an unhealthy degree, yeh? ;)

Mithrandir

@dhein A bit under the weather, nose started bleeding.

dhein

I mean do your hours, do your thing you are supposed to do. But if it is hard to handle... what burn your self for? :)

avazula

I mean I'm just doing what I can to help my colleagues who are not to blame for having such unhealthy and terrible projects :/

dhein

6:26 AM

@Mithrandir Ahhh... I know how you feel... When the air is dry for too long my nose starts randomly and in the most unsuitable moments to bleed aswell '^.^

avazula

But hey, you know me know, it's always the boss's fault lol

dhein

@avazula Yeh, but as I told tinky yesterday already. Just because they can't be blamed for it, it is not your fault and hence not your responsibility. I mean I am not advicing to sit around idling till you start your new job. But.... You get my point don't you?

:P

avazula

@dhein yeah, I do :p

you're welcome. For cooking you may try making this about the both of you, a shared responsibility. One day he cooks for the both of you, one day you do and - if possible - you eat together too. Cooking only for oneself is unrewarding for many people. — Jan Dorniak 23 mins ago

@Ælis Chat was down for a while, might've crashed the bots too :)

@IPSCommentBot tp

Ælis

Oh, I didn't notice that chat was down ^^' Thanks for the explaination :)

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis meta.stackexchange.com/q/328173/369802 Seems to have been a 'part of the world' thing. Which of course had to hit me XD

Ælis

@Tinkeringbell That was a conspiracy to silence you!

Tinkeringbell

9:06 AM

@Ælis Well, it did come with a lot of collateral damage then! :P

Ælis

@Tinkeringbell It was to better cover the fact that you were the only real target :p

Tinkeringbell

Ahhh! That actually makes sense ;)

Ælis

Changing subject: I feel like this answer isn't really answering the question (but it's still interesting, IMO). Any thought on that everyone?

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis It's an annoying answer ;) It seems to forget that we were already bonding, despite those remarks and my reaction to it we were already doing stuff together, and it's also telling me to do something I clearly ruled out as an option. Together with the decision I made yesterday and posted in here, it's... wrong, I guess. I can drop a comment later today

It's also... not even suggesting clearly what my response to the remarks should be.

Ælis

9:21 AM

@Tinkeringbell I think it's a "just change your view" kind of answer. I'm trying to write a comment right now to tell them that this doesn't consist a valid frame-challenge

Posted

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis I dropped one too.

Ælis

I'm kind of feeling bad about all the comments we had to post under this user answers during the last few days ^^'

Afternoon!

dhein

11:20 AM

Anyone here able to help me out with pypi?^^

My question is, what is the file called, I can find the consumed dependencies being listed in? '^.^ Quite basic question I suppose

avazula

@dhein what is it you need?

dhein

Just the above x)

avazula

yeah but I don't understand

you wanna find the required dependencies for a pip package?

dhein

the equivalent to pom.xml from maven or package.json from npm

that equivalent for pypi

avazula

ha

dhein

11:27 AM

nah I wanna know how these files are called/whats their extension

avazula

requirements.txt

dhein

Keep in mind I am not a coder, I am an analyst having to analyse an python project now xD

THANK YOU <3

avazula

^ is the equivalent of package.json for pip packages

Bitte schön <3

dhein

I thought so. But coudln't find such a file in this project so I wasn't sure if I am missing something

So as said, quite a simple one xP

:)

avazula

@dhein it's not mandatory (although very much appreciated)

dhein

11:29 AM

Well, its a project with like 100 dependencies. I doubt with every compile the development team is just handtyping them ^^

avazula

Python doesn't get compiled , maybe that's why :p

dhein

Or what ever sorcery is done there. ^^

I am sure the working magic is comming streight from the development teams mind :P

JAD

either requirements.txt, or in setup.py there is a list with install_requires as name

dhein

ahhhh

yeah, saw that one.

well wait... no I didn't... xD

wtf

Neither of them exists. >.> Well in some of the consumed packages they exist. but not in the root project xD

JAD

uhm

grep all import statements of all files?

dhein

11:39 AM

Meeeh.... Then I had to read into how python works, to interpret the findings of what imports do. :x

JAD

ah

import executes that file

from file_name import objects runs the file/module file_name and exposes the produced objects objects

dhein

I just pretend that I have now a clue. '^.^ Well, if I don't find any hints on how they did this, I'll just ask the dev team how they crafted that project.^^

JAD

lol

dhein

@JAD Keep in mind, I am looking today the first time into an python source code. '^.^

avazula

Oh, I didn't know they could be in setup.py. Thanks JAD, TIL

JAD

11:44 AM

@dhein ah gotcha

imports are similar to C includes. They act largely as if the referenced file is just pasted on the location of the import

dhein

11:59 AM

Ah, but that would exceed a bit my task then, as I have to identify just which sources are being consumed and their license. So going on file level will flood me with en mass false positives I assume '^.^

For me it right now seems like they must have hand added all these dependencies then >.<

JAD

@dhein it goes pretty gradually, so that's not that surprising

also, a lot of modules come pre-installed in some distributions

like winpython

dhein

@JAD yeah but such stuff doesnt even land on my desk due to automations^^

I'd at least assume that ^^

Q: Should my social networks be personal or business/community orientated

I want to promote rock music and related topics (fashion/beer/tattoos/motorbikes ) using a Twitter based social platform, but I'm really struggling with how to best communicate with my audience. I prefer the personal touch when it comes to communicating on social media - And in business - But I ...

A: Did galley captains put corks in the mouths of slave rowers to keep them quiet?

Yes, they did. This practice is mentioned in Robert C. Davis' (Professor of History at Ohio State University) Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500 - 1800: to make sure that none of the slave oarsmen spoke out and gave the g...

Good day people

Beautiful day isn't it?

Hiya! :-)

Hi!

:D

Sadly, it's not a beautiful day here. Kind of cloudy and could start raining at any moment

Xosrov

Well i personally love rain, and it's cloudy here too

Rainbacon

2:12 PM

I walk a lot, so rain isn't much fun

Xosrov

And I'm craving some ice cream :< what flavor do you reckon i should buy?

But walking in the rain is just so dramatic i love it xD

Rainbacon

Cookie Dough is never the wrong choice

TheTinyMan

I usually get chocolate with chocolate in it, drizzled in chocolate. Sometimes I sprinkle chocolate on top of that.

Xosrov

That sounds amazing x.x

Cookie dough isn't a common flavor here unfortunately

But there are some fruity and sour popsicles here too that i really love

Mithrandir

@TheTinyMan That sounds a bit too rich.

TheTinyMan

2:21 PM

@Mithrandir There's got to be an awful joke for me to make in there somewhere...

Rainbacon

@TheTinyMan Something about how ice cream isn't allowed to hold wealth in the United States?

TheTinyMan

@Rainbacon Maybe, or maybe something about hoping that some day I find ice cream so rich it buys me a new car

Rainbacon

@TheTinyMan what's this "new car" you speak of. I think the New York equivalent is ice cream so rich it pays my rent

scohe001

Damn your ice cream must be packing!

ElizB

Good morning all :)

Rainbacon

2:36 PM

@ElizB Morning!

TheTinyMan

@ElizB Hiya! :-D

ElizB

I'm still working on papers.......... when will this end??

TheTinyMan

@Rainbacon Paying New York rent? Man, I'm not looking for ice cream THAT rich! ;-)

Captain Bohemian

ice cream or shaved ice sells so well here because our weather is generally hot.

scohe001

@CaptainBohemian looking at your avatar pic, I'd believe it O_O

Captain Bohemian

2:43 PM

@scohe001 that avatar is not my current place; it's just the place I desire to visit.

ElizB

It seems my brain doesn't want to keep going though I've gotta finish this

oooh yay I got the "enlightened" badge! first to answer and get to 10 upvotes

Rainbacon

3:05 PM

Congrats!

I just got my 11th "nice answer" badge

Captain Bohemian

I have not even got any teacher badge.

That's not cool

Stellar question is

Quick, someone post a "what's your favorite interpersonal joke?"

Rainbacon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ yeah, but IPS doesn't have any of those

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Yeah it's mostly blushes

scohe001

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ isn't...every joke an interpersonal joke? Can you have a joke without interpersonal interaction?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Well, it does need to sound on-topic to 10% of the users so it'll get 700 votes before getting closed.

Q: What REALLY defines on and off topic?

So I'm getting fed up of my questions - which I consider to be genuine - getting voted as being Off-Topic, for reasons that don't make sense in comparison to other questions. For example, my latest question (Interpersonal Skills) asked for advice on good ways to communicate with specific niche a...

bug off-topic

Heh, they link to tour when they say "my question"

Anyway, it does seem apparent they need IPS help, even if it's not really the issue they expect.

scohe001

4:26 PM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ they've asked several questions about running a social media based business (think "how do I get XXX instagram followers?"). I'm pretty sure comments have been left almost every time telling them this is the wrong site for that, but might be worth bringing a mod in on this to make sure @EmC

Rainbacon

That's also not the question we told them to ask on MSE. We told them to ask if there was a site where their question would be on topic.

@scohe001 Yeah, we've definitely told them at least 3 times now that IPS is not the right site for questions about how to run their social media accounts

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Hey, be glad Godwin was intact

@scohe001 hi o/

Hey! \o

Oi

4:30 PM

yep, they've asked 4 questions now which are all basically "how should I set up my twitter account(s)" and each time we've explained it's off-topic and suggested other venues (freelancing SE - which they had tried, workplace chat, non-SE forums)..

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@EmC Well, commenting isn't going to help anymore

yeah, I'm not planning to participate on that meta post.. they've been told it's a question for IPS meta, so up to them if they want to ask there or not
