hey, salt-die is here right? I forget whether I saw nurses_2 here or elsewhere. I'm having some weird behavior with the TextParticleField, for some reason it always draws particles in italics with a strikethrough and I can't find where it's applying that formatting

I can send the repo I'm working on it's just a silly personal thing

ah they are here @shadow jetty ^ (sorry for the ping!)

[shadow jetty]

can you show me the code?

i'm guessing you're using the wrong type for particle_chars,

[heady lion]

Ya, here it is: https://github.com/DataKinds/cell-incremental/blob/main/src/game/dish.py#L38-L68

& here's what the particle field looks like when it's rendered

I'm comparing it to https://github.com/salt-die/nurses_2/blob/09a43e566be6772470fcb0b44ec134351be742d3/examples/advanced/exploding_logo.py#L210 and I definitely didn't initialize my array to the right dtype

[royal lake]

examples/advanced/exploding_logo.py line 210

particle_chars = np.zeros_like(particles, dtype=Char)```

[heady lion]

Ayy yeah it works if I pass in the correct type, thanks lol

[open fern]

salt-die is magical

[heady lion]

I take it that wasn't the first time they've seen that 😅

[heady hamlet]

pycharm

[shadow jetty]

i've done it myself, if you just use some U1 array, somewhere in the rendering the chars will be broadcast and coerced to the boolean fields (bold, italic, etc)

[reef goblet]

LMFAO

[eternal depot]

@willow narwhal @azure tapir here's what my version says:

[willow narwhal]

Interesting. This might indeed be geo-IP-based. Where are you accessing the internet from?

[eternal depot]

East coast USA

...actually I might be able to see the difference one sec. (If I look it up via my work's VPN then I'll geo to Europe)

[azure tapir]

im in sweden

[willow narwhal]

Yeah, I have the same , from Germany. Probably a EU vs. US thing

[azure tapir]

where the law mentioned actually exists

[eternal depot]

Very interesting. At any rate I believe we still can't help our Euro friends with YT downloading as we (pydis) are subject to the laws where we are registered

[azure tapir]

enforcing rules in any other way wouldnt be practical

[willow narwhal]

I still think it would be legal for PyDis to do so. The exact rule came — AFAIK — during the time we were partnered with Discord, where there were stricter rules.

[azure tapir]

so maybe some rule errata could sort that out

[willow narwhal]

I personally wish rule 5 would be different (ignoring ToS), but it'd be hell to moderate, so I can sympathize.

[eternal depot]

Yeah. I think if you got really technical about it; a Euro person could assist another Euro person (or other location with equivalent laws) but a US person could not.

I just had to take a training about international sanction controls and I assume the law will be relatively consistent there

[willow narwhal]

IANAL, but I think it's still legal for a US person to help a US person or anyone. You're breaking ToS, but not the law.

Especially when you haven't explicitly agreed to it (via account creation)

[azure tapir]

i think you can stretch the meaning of "legal" to cover any rules in a discussion like this

[eternal depot]

Right; well, you're still potentially exposing yourself to action. Let's say you assist with writing some code that ends up being used in a way that gets a lot of attention and the code gets traced back to you; I would not be surprised if YT were to sue for damages

[eternal depot]

And yeah this is kinda the legal debate. The plaintiff lawyers will argue the wording (by using this service you agree to terms) and your lawyer will argue that you never signed anything

[eternal depot]

IANAL but my uncle is.

For some reason, my Neovim highlights $()s as red (to show them as errors, presumably)

Oh, I meant background red, not text red

Hi

[cobalt remnant]

Anyone know how to get rid of this when I run ssh? I prefer my ssh prompts in the terminal.

[heady lion]

Are you using the git credential manager? https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Credential-Storage ? Might be worth a shot turning it off and seeing if that changes the behavior

[cobalt remnant]

why would that effect ssh?

I'm not even using git.

(yes, I see Git in the title)

setting credential.helper to cache didn't do anything

[heady lion]

ahh I thought this was invoked by git over SSH. How'd you install SSH? Maybe it's invoking the one that came with git for windows

[cobalt remnant]

$ which ssh
/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh

maybe it's a git-bash quirk

It may be related to git-askpass

Found it. ```sh
$ export | grep askpass
declare -x SSH_ASKPASS="/mingw64/bin/git-askpass.exe"

What should that be set to?

Looks like I have to unset it

[heady lion]

https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/235707 Ya, seems like the answer is unset it + make sure git thinks you're in a real tty

[cobalt remnant]

[stark oasis]

pretty depressing stuff imo, but the web hasn't been the web for a long time and Ive kind of already mourned for its death.

[robust zephyr]

it's all bots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

[stark oasis]

That's one of those conspiracies where there is maybe a grain of truth in there, but it's proponents are too absolute and leaning into crazier things to take it seriously. If anything, I don't think its bots generating fake content, its mostly people generating fake/low effort/etc content because their goal is a quick buck, a moment of recognition.

But in a way, the responsible party for all of that is... algorithms that reward such content, which in a way are sorta like bots.

[tranquil iron]

I don't understand why some people seek internet site cred

[stark oasis]

money and actual fame is the primary reason today I think.

what does -> actually mean?

beacuse
there is no separation between arguments and return type
it is just return type which returns another type
which makes a lot of sense (no)

@urban wigeon

most accurate description ngl

[willow narwhal]

Currying

All functions are called one argument at a time.

average a would be similar to functools.partial(average, a) in Python

The -> is therefore right-associative: average is of type Float -> (Float -> Float), that is: a function that when given a float returns a function that when given a float returns a float.

Dog in here ugly

Also it gene is for food

We believe that eating dog is giving it better life. Its like dog after life is be a human

We believe bring a dog is bad n be human s good

N eat dog make em have another life

Ofc we use something to hit their head n they r dead. Some people hit dogs when they re mating

[frozen crane]

@eternal depot @dusky yoke for your shared reference, lists and arrays are different, and it is important that beginners not conflate them. but if you want to address that point, it should be in the larger context of addressing the asker's question. and a help thread shouldn't be used to debate what is or isn't overly pedantic.

[dusky yoke]

most of the time when peopel say array in python they do mean list, this guy was just being annoying for 0 reason idk whats up with him

passive aggressive and pedantic - worst combo

!u

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

I have a thousands of activity bloco

Not sure what is that

[frozen crane]

if you think they were being pedantic and passive aggressive for the sake of being both, you can have that opinion. but a user's help thread isn't the place to debate the validity of it.

[heady hamlet]

I have 4 infractions

Too much infractions :(

Many

[dusky yoke]

so you think its okay for people to go into help threads and give advice unrelated to the question?

[heady hamlet]

I have a bunch of infractions s

[frozen crane]

If someone uses terminology incorrectly, it's fine for someone to point that out. It would be even better if they pointed that out while also assisting with the question. But my point is that we don't want to litter the help threads with metadiscourse about who is or isn't being helpful.

[reef goblet]

I already do that

[spare oriole]

not the first time you make sexual innuendos here lol

Hello.

[eternal depot]

My apologies Stel. I was trying to disengage but kept being sucked back in. I should have just fully left. Unfortunately for the helpee by the time they returned I was no longer available to provide the assistance I intended.

[heady hamlet]

I lost the lottery :(

Ok

Actually I used lottery in a discord bot I no more play

Nah I'll study chemistry and then I'll make a very a super nuclear bomb n sell it for moni

[ancient minnow]

Hey guys I had a quick question

I am building a site and have video files that are sometimes bigger than 800 mb

And I want to be able to embed them in discord

Does anyone knows how sites as YouTube do this and how I can do the same?

[thick ore]

read about open graph

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-open-graph-and-how-can-i-use-it-for-my-website/

[ancient minnow]

Ty

Ohh yeah

So I did that

But my video is not getting embedded by discord still

The thing also is when I send the raw link of a shorter .mov it tends to embed it correctly

But when I do it with my large videos it doesnt work

[rough sapphire]

So which solver is ur favorite guys?

i hope itns not 2cap

[tranquil iron]

solving is so 20th century, man

[rough sapphire]

:/

[spare oriole]

anticaptcha just cuz it's somewhat free for me

[rough sapphire]

how so?

[tranquil iron]

you can learn how to make games with pygame

[left ruin]

hi

[tranquil iron]

I'm assuming you already know the basics

best thing for that is to read and then practice what you read. at that point, you'll realize that you didn't really understand the first time. so re-read and practice more. repeat until you feel you know it well. then go onto the next topic.

a few years later, you will realize that you don't actually know it well. at that point, you can dig deeper.

you'll know when you're entering the "intermediate" stage when writing the code is no longer the hard part.

that's when you can start learning the real stuff.

it'll be the equivalent of when you're a kid and can finally construct sentences and paragraphs. that's when you realize that "writing" is more than stringing together a few sentences.

for most people, a few years

learning to develop software is a lot like learning how to write and play music. best method is a combination of theory and practice. lots and lots of practice.

you can work harder

work with others who know more than you and learn from them

work with others who know less, and teach them. thereby revealing gaps in your own understanding.

IMO, the most important skill to develop as a young person is self-discipline. that is, the ability to 1) decide to do something and then 2) actually do it. IMO, it's far more important than smarts.

if you wait for "inspiration" you will wait forever and never actually acomplish much. again, IMO, of course

and be-assured, though it seems like an innate personality trait, self-discipline is a skill that you can develop like any other.

[weary moat]

This. I say this so often. Just this.

[tranquil iron]

then you're already half way there

I need to lose 20 pounds or so too

but I'm old. that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

most of life is about doing shit you don't wanna do so you can do what you do want to do

being overweight is affecting your health, by definition. I've accepted this.

[weary moat]

I keep a list of interesting looking libraries I'd like to learn. I ignore it until a project comes along that needs it. Then, tedious, boring job I've done a thousand times becomes "ooh, time to play with new toy!"

[tranquil iron]

that's a good idea

learn websockets

[weary moat]

This week - "please load this shitty spreadsheet into our db" becomes "at last. I've been wanting to try out polars for bloody ages"

[tranquil iron]

lol

imagine async socket stuffed into HTTP and all the nastiness that would entail

you know how generators work?

yield and all that?

well, it'll be hard to explain in a few lines... try reading https://superfastpython.com/asyncio-vs-threading/ and/or https://itnext.io/practical-guide-to-async-threading-multiprocessing-958e57d7bbb8

there's lots of intros. google for "python concurrency async threads"

[young shoal]

it's certainly interesting

most databases use B-trees by default for indexes

it's a tree

wdym "put there"

well, the B actually doesn't mean anything, according to the authors lol. it just has nice properties for database indexing

well i'm sure you'll have many functions to implement if you're making a database

[young shoal]

Rip

You'll have to practice discipline in general in life off and on, and really want it to get it.

I used to study for 4 hours a day and go on a walk thinking about how my friend codes all day at his job and that I want that discipline.

Right, I would just play games until I'm sick of them and played them all before. For me to tell people not to play a game at all would be hypocritical.

I watched every movie, played every game. I tried ten different ways to get rich. Got muscles and my diet going.

now I still want to get rich, I want to become smart. I was sort of fed up with the bullshit and didn't want anything else in a way. Buying things couldn't make me happy, there was nothing I could experience to make me happy.

That's the thing programming and other pure things are like a healthy outlet you can grind away at.
You can enjoy progress in life like a video game.
I'm just hoping I can make my life have a meaning in the grand scheme of things, and trying to do the most with each day to try to make it happen. Alot of things we deal with are self imposed mental limitations

Like, getting rich, it's good for your immediate needs but it doesn't have much meaning

If we are so fortunate to live in a prosperous place and make a good living , to just take advantage of that to excess without doing something for the world would suck.

But I think we can really make a difference

So I'm trying to get rich, and then make or find a meaning to it all.

[civic pasture]

Im going to University of Texas in Austin @young shoal

I got scholarship

Its a great college 😄

Hopefully it will increase my chances of getting a job

[thick osprey]

The short list?

PackageName/Module_Name/Module_Name.py names were used
Relative imports? Absolute imports? Yes, let's use them all
__init__.py pollution with star imports
somevar: list Hmmm, yes, but a list of what?
No formatter enforcement
two years of linux/windows commits with no line ending enforcement
No tests
No actual tests
It was not tested... at all
...
the list goes on

[young shoal]

why do you need to submit your resume if you already got in

[civic pasture]

it was missing

🥲

[young shoal]

just submit it then

[civic pasture]

they said they need it

[thick osprey]

Congrats

[civic pasture]

I want it to look good tho

[young shoal]

how did you decide to enforce line endings?

[civic pasture]

just cuz I got accepted I dont want to submit a shitty resume @young shoal

[young shoal]

they're not going to rescind over a resume dude

[civic pasture]

really?

[thick osprey]

Since it's my library now, linux line endings and a pre-commit hook will clean them for you.

[young shoal]

and CI checks, presumably

[stark prawn]

precommit hooks running in ci

[thick osprey]

Anything that is expected to be run local is enforced in CI.

[young shoal]

[stark prawn]

I like overleaf for templates

[foggy jungle]

Can you locally download overleaf templates or do you have to use their little web editor thing?

[civic pasture]

I changed my resume a bit @stark prawn

[thick osprey]

Did I mention there were no tests? Darn thing weighs in at around 15k loc.

[foggy jungle]

Because I'm not sure I'm keen on hosting my resume online anywhere.

[stark prawn]

yes, it's just a latex template

[young shoal]

want mine 🥺

[civic pasture]

I got some constructive criticism from @solid elbow

[young shoal]

you can just copy the latex

[thick osprey]

Self host your own dropbox.

[foggy jungle]

I don't know shit about latex but I like the idea of having a CI/CD process for your resume to just spit out pdf's like you were working on lol.

[young shoal]

lmao. don't

[civic pasture]

how is your resume going @foggy jungle

[foggy jungle]

My resume is fine

[young shoal]

well, you can if you want but it's not worth it

just use a makefile or even a shell script, the CI is not worth it

[foggy jungle]

I think it would benefit from a better format though.

I like Pub's format.

[civic pasture]

for resume?

[young shoal]

fr the word resume 👎

maybe you want to try typst though. i've heard glowing reviews

easier to make different variants too apparently

with latex i'm stuck defining different things per variant, apparently in typst you can simply pass arguments to subfiles?

[civic pasture]

do you think I sound too cocky? @young shoal

[young shoal]

\def\isanonymous{1}

None of that makes any sense to me. I just want to type stuff.

Created visualizations and wrote reports to the management to help them with their administrative decisions, increasing overall hotel performance by 17%.

does this look like Im too full of myself?

[young shoal]

not really

10% revenue increase is big if true

[civic pasture]

it did

😄

[young shoal]

o. maybe try typst

[civic pasture]

we are the best performing hotel in the area

we sell out pretty much very fast

and we have more rooms than other hotels arounf

[young shoal]

@low chasm has a decent typst template i think

[stark prawn]

I always wonder how you quantify things like staff preparedness

[civic pasture]

well I use booking statistics

before they put schedule up @stark prawn

I predict how busy we will get and inform the manager and they prepare the schedule based on my prediction

I use previous years data and combine with the trends

we used to be very shortstaffed on some days because the management didnt really figure out how busy we would get

[grave cove]

@young shoal do you like my second job description?

[young shoal]

looks fine

[civic pasture]

also is it okay to apply for jobs while in grad school?

[stark prawn]

If you are able to handle it

[civic pasture]

I should be able to

If I take 2 courses per semester

[young shoal]

if you want to be a part time student, it's reasonable

[foggy jungle]

I don't see why not, just be sure to communicate clearly that you're a student.

[stark prawn]

But make sure that the studying + job doesn't make you have no social life at all.

[foggy jungle]

Jokes on you, I don't have a social life anyway.

[civic pasture]

I dont have one either

I was gonna say

[young shoal]

what about us ;-;

[carmine apex]

well, yeah, if you did, you wouldn't be here

[foggy jungle]

I know what I said.

[young shoal]

I'm pretty sure we'd either vibe hard in real life or there would be physical violence.

[young shoal]

i can dynamically generate a resume using keywords :o

well, it's still pretty manual

but it'd be cool

so my programming languages, libraries, skills, projects, etc could all be reordered and swapped out

[tulip falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/la-fawnduh-napoleon-dynamite-napoleon-dynamite-nerd-gif-5762334

[civic pasture]

how does this look? @young shoal

Performed database optimization to run queries on sensitive patient data more efficiently, increasing performance of the department by 7%.
Compiled and uploaded raw patient data into the data warehouse to support senior database engineers.

[foggy jungle]

This sounds entirely unpractical but very entertaining.

[tulip falcon]

Glad we're on the same wavelength

[civic pasture]

is my job description verbose? @tulip falcon

[hallow frigate]

<- idiot didn't even see it

[young shoal]

got 2 people so far heh. though perhaps, maybe i should not be trying to "get" people who want to help...

[young shoal]

a TUI, of course

[young shoal]

what optimization techniques did you use? how do you even measure data reliability?

[civic pasture]

well my previous resume had those

but they said its too much info

I used techniques like index scans

implicit conversions

[young shoal]

well, add if they're interesting, don't add if they're not interesting

[civic pasture]

how is this? @young shoal for my last job

Used census data to perform statistical forecast analysis, helping local government branches with their city planning decisions.
Created visualizations and wrote reports to show insights about city services, increasing efficiency of local government branches by 10%.
Developed spatial data overlays to locate potential sites for city services, increasing productivity of local government by 17%.

[young shoal]

i'm curious why you don't just use caree discussion

[civic pasture]

i hate the timer there @young shoal

[young shoal]

well don't send messages so fast then

[civic pasture]

2 pages too long for a resume?

[young shoal]

yes, imo

[civic pasture]

omg I dunno where to make cuts

🥲

[high verge]

ehhh, not really. in my resume i have all of the necessary/valuable info on the first page and the rest contain all my achievements, projects, and misc stuff. business up front, party in the back

[young shoal]

it's my understanding that no one will read a second page

[hard niche]

In my experience, unless you are very experienced and several decades into your career, a 2 page resume is frowned upon. You should be tailoring your resume to the job you want and ensure it only has relevant information. It is not uncommon for the 2nd page and onwards of a resume to not be looked at at all.

[civic pasture]

I did a one page resumeee

Check it on #career-advice

i've been wanting the valve VR headset. what was it, the Index?

[tulip falcon]

Oh huh , I think that one is old now haha

Unless thry refreshed it

[heady lion]

oh huh

i wouldn't know

[tulip falcon]

You want one with best display resolution you can get

[heady lion]

that's the spec to go for? not refresh rate or latency?

[tulip falcon]

Hm don't know if they push those specs, you want like super high resolution because it's per eye , don't want a screen door effect. This set is running at 72hz

[heady lion]

I see

[tulip falcon]

Also field of view, don't know if that's inherit of your resolution

after so many many days of practice, i can finally play 3 or 4 out of 7 or 8 variations of my favorite piece 💀

it's absolutely miserable

to practice

what do u think of the piece

i absolutely love the 3rd and 5th variations

[tulip falcon]

8 years ago

[rough sapphire]

it's much older than that

[tulip falcon]

Oh I thought you recorded a video of you playing it

[rough sapphire]

the composer himself passed away in 1992, it's fairly recent i'd say

[rough sapphire]

i'll probably record my playing too

i can't play the 2nd variation completely, so i need to practice that

[tulip falcon]

Wow you're gud at your instrument then , what you play it on? Lol

[rough sapphire]

it's violin

idk what you mean though with "what you play it on"

btw my playing isn't as good as hers lol she's really really good and makes it look easy

i player at a slower tempo

[tulip falcon]

I was just being dumb.

Impressive stuff really

[rough sapphire]

thanks

[tulip falcon]

Like you do c++ program and haskell, js, python, speak multiple languages, play instruments

"When I was on the Ops team, I deleted the geography of San Francisco from the DoorDash database, and so it just shut down for the day -- drivers couldn't drive, people couldn't order food, and restaurants couldn't get orders.

And it was one of those things too where you looked in the database, and it said [XXX] made this change.

To make it even worse, the way that DoorDash would feed its employees was by placing DoorDash orders for dinner. And so we couldn't place the orders for dinner, so nobody could eat food."

bruh this podcast is SPICY

"There was actually a time where we were asked to pick whether we wanted to be an IC or manager.

And I sat down, looked the VP in the eyes, and said 'IC'.

She was like, 'No. Manager.'"

apparently his communication skills were too good

lol

now theyre talking about how soft skills can be a great differentiator in your career

[young shoal]

the illusion of choice

someone make the meme where it's the cow and the two hallways

[high haven]

where is sg

i see him lurking

[young shoal]

my soft skills are excellent

[tulip falcon]

Idk what those are hahahaha

[high haven]

it mirrors what my data viz prof said in grad school, whose day job was analytics director at a F500

technical skills can get your foot in the door but soft skills will get you the promotion

something something

[tulip falcon]

I'm likeable I think

"Hi Skyglow, I hope you are doing good!"
"Here's an obscure excel error that there's no easy fix, help please"

Not doing good anymore

[high haven]

[rugged owl]

"Hi Bob, how is X on the dashboard calculated? Or, could you provide the repo?"
Mistakes were made
JS repo
JS repo
.ts file (w/e the f that is)
.html files

[high haven]

el oh el. ts is typescript. usually used to give typing to javascript or something. idk ask a web dev lol.

[high haven]

[rugged owl]

My dumb naive ass: "Oh, there's a variable somewhere that will say 'XYZ = X / Y' "

[high haven]

if it makes you feel better x2

i did the same thing you did to figure out how we scored stuff

i was able to get it but that was after trying to wrap my head around dotnet code

[rugged owl]

[undone thorn]

XD

[high haven]

you might have to ask for a link for the right file since navigating JS projects are a nightmare

[young shoal]

• POV: You are a new data scientist at a food delivery company. You have imposter syndrome and worry that the other data scientists will call you out on the accuracy of your models, since you never went through formal training.

• The reason you were brought onto the team from another one is because your PoC Lead Gen model showed great promise.

• After a lot of work refining, scaling, and incorporating it into workflows for internal stakeholders, you and the team celebrate on a job well done.

• Next week arrives, and you begin receiving Slack messages all starting off with the same phrase: "What the fuck."

[high haven]

(2/2)

• The house is on fire. There are pings from 200+ individuals, basically the entire sales org. You remember their compensation is based on how many restaurant leads they bring to the platform — what your model was supposed to help with.

• You deep dive into the data. You remember the upstream team didn't want to pay for expensive Google or Yelp data, so they settled with Foursquare data.

• Pause. You discover the data quality is abysmal, some data over a decade old...

• You get called into a meeting with the VP of Sales. Together, you review a google sheets of 4000+ items where the majority weren't even restaurants...hundreds of strip clubs, McKinsey was on there, even DaVita, which is a dialysis center...

• You have to do damage control and sit down and talk with over 200+ stakeholders 1:1, helping to explain what happened and what was supposed to happen instead, trying to build back lost trust...

ok im done. sorry for the text wall

[dim solstice]

bruh

[high haven]

bye for now

[high haven]

@young shoal @rugged owl my meeting got cancelled so that text wall is what you get instead.

[rugged owl]

oi, at least that dragonfly got the "capture and release" treatment. Instead of the usual "fly swatter" treatment.

[rugged owl]

Trusting the data was the first mistake. Also, pay for data? PFFFT. Pull a startup & spin up that request + list of proxies.

Fun fact, our description field is limited to like 120 chars.

REPORTED IT TO HIS SUPERVISOR BELIEVING IT TO BE A POTENTIAL

Potential what

[high haven]

lol this was technically doordash startup days

[high haven]

🕯️

VARCHAR(100)

or in this case 120

[rugged owl]

YOU WISH. MORE LIKE I WISH. This is how it gets sent to us from the data sources.

[high haven]

i meant this was how the original DDL was probably

[rugged owl]

Also, why is it always: many days of nothing, then literally just today, multiple different request from different people.
