I remember that the old python discord website had a place where it listed several IDEs.

#

Is that page still available on the new website?

Oh thanks, I wasn't able to find it.

Maybe a link to it should be on the FAQ

Ooops

#

Wrong window 😄

gentle moss
#

as we were talking about last night

#

that is one of the dangers of touch typing

#

forgetting which window you're in

#

<_<

sand goblet
#

I almost never do it somehow

#

I used to though

gentle moss
#

my biggest problem is synergy not switching context

#

so i end up still typing on my laptop

bitter jolt
#

i used to have a problem with synergy not syncing the clipboard properly

#

now i can screenshot on ubuntu and paste on macbook

#

after installing barrier

gentle moss
#

which version of synergy? 1 or 2?

bitter jolt
#

the open source fork ever since synergy stopped releasing nightly builds

rough sapphire
#

I just focus on the wrong window in i3 by accident all the time. I should enable focus indicators, but muh minimalism

vapid bluff
#

vmware is also an offender. keyboard focus only happens if your mouse is hovering over the vm window

gentle moss
#

or do you mean free synergy, which they stopped doing?

bitter jolt
#

yeah i mean the free nightlies which they stopped doing

gentle moss
#

ahhh

#

i paid for it :3

bitter jolt
gentle moss
#

i'm aware of barrier, yeah

bitter jolt
#

oof

gentle moss
#

does barrier use TLS yet?

#

last i checked it didn't

#

note to self: start injecting packets at my coworkers laptop

#

<_<

bitter jolt
#

tls as in tlsv1.2 vs ssl or as in something better than plaintext

#

i think it does support ssl at the very least i can see my server fingerprint if i'm in server mode

#

but i'm too lazy to remember how to generate a self-signed certificate in pem format so i just disabled it lel

Alright, question for you folks. Do you suffer from or know someone who has "Aphantasia"? That is the inability to visualize something in your "mind's eye". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia The idea of this is fascinating to me

oak tangle
#

@plucky ridge My mental imagery is bad, but I would probably not score below 20 on that questionaire

#

I can't really visualize faces, scenes, or stuff like that well though

#

I do have more abstract visualizations, I'm pretty good at those, but there are no lively images involved

plucky ridge
#

That's really interesting, though

#

I just can't imagine that

vapid bluff
#

i know someone with that

#

asked him how he reads books and such. in his head it's like a graph of facts and events.

#

vs visualizing it as if it were a movie

oak tangle
#

I can't really visualize books

vapid bluff
#

which i think most people without aphantasia do

#

whats your reading process like?

oak tangle
#

Reading, mostly thinking about the story, and, when there's a scene, I do have a rough idea of what's where (more abstract, like an idea of "that's to the right" without visualizing the thing itself), but it's not like a lively realistic scene. I'm not completely lacking visualization, I just can't put it together into a coherent scene. So, if a book describes someone as having red clothing, I have a very vague impression of red or I have a vague image of dark hair, but I'm not putting a person together; let alone a complex scene.

#

I'm really bad a drawing stuff as well

#

I just can't put a drawing together in my head to draw, so proportions are always off and things never really come together

#

it's difficult to describe what it's like, though

#

I can't really get it across

#

It's just how I've always been

#

The strange thing is, I do have very vivid, visual dreams

#

So, I don't know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I'd be the worst eye witness describing someone ever

#

Although, I do remember specific details, I just don't see it as a picture

sand goblet
#

@plucky ridge I think I might know someone

plucky ridge
#

Neat

@fluid basin

#

fluid basin
#

hello

sand goblet
#

This is the person I was thinking of @plucky ridge

#

If you guys wanna chat

plucky ridge
#

I mean I guess it's just one of those things, you've lived with it so don't know any different, but just the idea of not being able to visualize something is so foreign a thought

#

Like how would drawing or describing something even work

fluid basin
#

funnily enough i do art as my only past time

#

lol

plucky ridge
#

Well I guess I don't understand how someone who can't visualize something could draw something, you know?

#

Like if you can't see it how could it be described or depicted

plucky ridge
#

So it's almost like... how you can store shapes using various points of triangles and what have you

Or rather it's just something that's felt

hmm, i did try some stupid shit with memory allocation a couple days ago

#

not sure if/how it caused this though

#

@vapid bluff i've allocated 512GiB to swap before for the shits and giggles

#

at some point, when i get the opportunity, i wanna see if i can get 10TiB of swap

#

don't question me.

solid pollen

I have one question

WY you don't allocate one petaoctect??

what would be the right channel for asking about naming a package on pypi?

idk, it's not really related to python as a language

well there are naming convention in python, so I think it would still apply

but it is related to Python as a community if there are "typical names"

there are naming conventions in all sorts of things

yeah

#

plus they fuck up the rental market in cities

#

flats / houses that could be rented out to permanent tenants are short term leased for higher profits through airbnb

undone berry
#

Yeah, that's why they're an awful company. Portugal, Greece, and Spain have all had cities massively fucked over

#

And I assume lots of other places as well

gentle moss
#

places like London / New York were fucked before airbnb

#

it's just made it worse

#

the French government has been the most outspoken in demanding clarity on the purpose of an extension. “It is the French, always the French,” said one senior diplomat.

#

wonder why they don't like us

undone berry
#

demanding clarity on the purpose of an extension is pretty obviously a dumb position though. They know that the government doesn't want an extension, and that the opposition wants a referendum and/or general election. So who are they calling on for clarity?

#

I think its just posturing to show that they aren't happy about the whole thing rather than actually demanding clarity

gentle moss
#

basically they want to know if there's gonna be an election etc

#

before giving the extension

undone berry
#

but literally no one knows really

#

BoJo says yes to Dec 12th

opposition says no

#

I guess its trying to prompt someone into doing something

undone berry
#

I can't see them actually saying no even if the vote doesn't pass

gentle moss
#

probably not.

#

the french have repeatedly stated that they want the british to fucking sort their shit out

#

so i'm not surprised by this move

undone berry
#

At this point I think Brexit should be decided with a cage fight between Macron and BoJo

#

or possibly Juncker and BoJo

gentle moss

or just boris vs a cow

i'd pay to see that

oh shit yeah that already happened

undone berry

Oh yeah I remember

#

it knocked over a policeman

wottacock

verbal rivet
#

ngl i cant see why the house of commons rejected boris' deal, it sounded alright to me

#

but idk maybe they knew something about it we dont

gentle moss
#

it's not that alright because no one knows what's in it or what it means

#

there's no impact assessment

#

there's no study of what it actually conveys

#

so they want to scrutinise it before actually passing it

#

adding amendments if needs be

oak tangle
#

This is one of the most important deals in decades and Johnson wanted to push it through without proper scrutiny

the bill is 100 pages of stuff referencing a 500 page agreement for 40 years of UK/EU law

oak tangle
#

"Move this country forward, blind and possibly into an abyss but please don't think, discuss, or worry about that"

gentle moss
#

a few parts of the withdrawal bill seem to, according to very clever and experienced law people, grant excessive amounts of power to the government

#

not just during the transition period (to change / amend UK laws)

#

but after the brexit deal ends

#

which would be a serious shift in how our system of governance works

#

and would be very concerning

verbal rivet
#

yeah i suppose so, i didnt know that

#

but im hardly surprised given boris' track record either

#

i think its pretty tragic because i was initially quite optimistic about brexit

gentle moss
#

plus the deal he's got is actually worse that T.Mays

#

well, i never shared your optimism at all.

verbal rivet
#

hmm idk

gentle moss
#

no, it IS worse than mays deal

verbal rivet
#

i think that brexit could have been alright with a norway style deal

#

no no i mean idk about the optimism

sand goblet
#

did you really think the UK was going to do anything reasonable about it?

#

the vote wasn't meant to pass in the first place

#

i had hopes that the leadership would behave like competent adults

#

they didn't hold the vote with the intention of dealing with a positive outcome

gentle moss
#

we literally have the best deal in Europe

verbal rivet
#

yeah ofc, and the blame really lies with cameron

#

probably, but the eu isnt amazing either

gentle moss
#

our complacency in our ignorance of the EU and EU politics is why we're in this shit show in the first place

it's a heck of a lot better than what came before

at all.

same, and i live in london

gentle moss

i have a vague idea of the structure of the EU government and how it works

#

how legislation is created etc

#

but you know who DOES know who their MEP's are?

#

the people who put UKIP / Brexit Party in there

verbal rivet
#

i think that its created by a group of unelected people and then passed by meps

gentle moss
#

that's not how it works

#

and they're not unelected

sand goblet
verbal rivet
#

thats what i heard

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

gentle moss
#

yeah, that's because the media are arses who can't be bothered to inform people and would rather spit out rhetoric

#

same for the government tbh

#

when the EU abolished roaming charges the UK government gave a press statement claiming they did it

verbal rivet
#

idk id see jeremy paxman as alright

when the EU did something good, the UK government would take credit

Asked how he feels about the current Brexit impasse, Varadkar said Britain leaving the EU is only stage one of the process, and compared the proceedings to a divorce.

“There is the sense that we will get a deal. They will ratify it and they will leave the European Union, but then the next thing starts, which is negotiating a new relationship,” he said.

“What we’re doing at the moment is a kind of divorce. Members are deciding, making sure that the kids are looked after, deciding the financial settlement that type of thing,” Varadkar said.

“The next step then is, how do we get on with each other after divorce because we’re still going to need to have a friendship of some sort,” he added.

verbal rivet
#

idk i think that the eu is a great organisation but they are very deeply flawed, andwhilst i think its best to fix that from within i felt that moving away wasnt an entirely bad decision

oak tangle
#

"very deeply flawed" in what way?

gentle moss
#

norway style deal would've sucked dicks too

#

in fact any deal outside of the EU is a bad deal

#

they're a super powerful trading block and our closest

#

even with a free trade agreement we'd have to align with their regulations

oak tangle
#

The anti-EU lobby has been blocking governance reforms for almost two decades all the while claiming that governance of the EU is broken.

gentle moss
#

which would mean accepting rules we have no say in

oak tangle
#

And despite all that, it has brought a lot of shared economic advantages

gentle moss
#

which is the opposite of "taking back control" or whatever

verbal rivet
#

for instance, a large part of the latvian economy rested on the sugar beet industry at one point.They then joined the eu and leislation was passed t5at5 effectively meant that only german sugar beet could be traded, destroying their economy

#

one sec ill brb

vestal briar
#

I mean we do get a say in it, something called democracy?

gentle moss
#

the UK is a wanker when it comes to vetoing good stuff by the EU

#

like anti-tax avoidance / evasion legislation

sand goblet
#

latvia is part of the EU, @verbal rivet ?

#

if it was, it could've vetoed that

#

if it wasn't, well, no big surprise that the EU is taking care of its own members

gentle moss
#

interesting

#

seems like Latvia couldn't compete against other sugar producers in the trading block

#

Before accession to the EU only domestic sugar could be used in the food industry, while sugar imports were subject to special licenses. After accession, Latvia had to open its sugar market to other EU producers.

#

seems like they were using protectionism to keep the industry afloat.

verbal rivet
#

yeah, which isnt entirely6 negative

#

teir post5 soviet5 economy was totally relying on it

sand goblet
#

are you okay over there

verbal rivet
#

sorry broken keyboard lmao

sand goblet
#

:>

#

so they are in the EU?

verbal rivet
#

i think so

sand goblet
#

so then what the heck did they expect

#

to be able to join a big trading bloc and not have to do trade?

verbal rivet
#

they might have expected to be protected whilst they got back on their feet

undone berry
#

They joined in 2004, and the Sugar thing was in 2004

oak tangle
#

I think it's unfair to blaim the sugar reforms for the issues in Latvia. The EU has supported the sugar industry for over 50 years by setting prices way above market price; that special protection was phased out

verbal rivet
#

im not entirely blaming them, but i know people who were personally affected by it

oak tangle
#

To say that they only allow production in Germany is quite misleading

verbal rivet
#

yes i had the story told to me by people who were affected, didnt realise that wasnt quite true 😅

#

but then again idk whether there were any other major sellers of sugar beet

oak tangle
#

Yes, there were and are

verbal rivet
#

also the eu hasnt been great for coastal fishsing towns in the uk

gentle moss
#

that's bullshit

#

also

#

undone berry
#

yeah

verbal rivet
#

hang on a sec

undone berry
#

absolute bullshit

verbal rivet
#

how so?

gentle moss
#

we actually have great quotas

undone berry
#

something like 95% of the fishing quota goes to huge companies

gentle moss
#

and the majority of our fish is sold on main land EU anyway

undone berry
#

which isn't the EU's fault

gentle moss
#

yup

#

that's the UK gov's fault

oak tangle
#

The EU allowed individual countries to continue to use some of the agricultural subsidies for the sugar beet industry, 14 countries did do that

verbal rivet
#

in which case i stand corrected

gentle moss
#

this is the problem with brexit

#

there's so much misinformation

#

and getting to the heart of it takes a shit load of research

oak tangle
#

Boris has admitted that he doesn't mind lying as long as it brings him closer to his goals

verbal rivet

true, but i still feel like a lot of people are lacking balance

undone berry

what does that mean?

i think that the eu isnt perfect, although it is best for the uk

oak tangle

I don't think there are a lot of people who claim the EU is perfect

i never viewed brexit as a left / right wing politics sort of affair. i've always viewed it as a purely pragmatic thing

undone berry
#

its just vastly better than any alternative

gentle moss
#

and the EU sure as fuck isn't perfect

verbal rivet
#

and i think that a lot of debate and argument nowadays is characterized by polarization

undone berry
#

and practically all arguments against it are lies

verbal rivet
#

i dont even know about vastly better though

undone berry
#

and i think that a lot of debate and argument nowadays is characterized by polarization That polarisation is the direct effect of misinformation

gentle moss
#

it's caused the longest period of peace in continental europe

#

that's positive

verbal rivet
#

yes, thats what im saying

#

thats one positive

oak tangle
#

It's how the anti-EU lobby tries to paint pro-EU advocates: They create the strawman that every advocate is deeply in love with the EU and think the EU is perfect

gentle moss
#

it's allowed it to become the biggest trading block on the planet and allows small countries to punch far above their weight in trade

verbal rivet
#

although a very important one

undone berry
#

I think the idea that the EU debate is lacking balance is pretty absurd.

oak tangle
#

Meanwhile, most pro-EU political parties and organizations have proposed reforms time and time again, mostly blocked by the anti-EU lobby to keep the current status quo

sand goblet
#

Ves is right, I've seen that too

gentle moss
#

yup

#

UKIP are the fucking worse for it in EU parliament

#

if they even show up to vote at all

verbal rivet
#

hmmm i would say absurd

undone berry
#

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall did more to help British fisherman than Nigel Farage - who was on the EU fisheries commitee

verbal rivet
#

but yes i think that ukip's presence in the eu parliament is highly destructive

undone berry
#

absolute trash

verbal rivet
#

oh yeah, i cant stand nigel farage

gentle moss
#

he actually missed a vote on fishing regs because he was...

undone berry
#

hmmm i would say absurd what does that even mean

verbal rivet
#

sorry *wouldnt say

gentle moss
#

giving a campaign speech about fisheries being treated like shit in the UK

undone berry
#

Then give an example where the balance isn't fair

gentle moss
#

the problem with the EU debate has always been that one side lists the facts and the other side talks shite

#

you can't argue against people who refuse to see the truth

verbal rivet
#

its not about fairness, its about quality of debate

undone berry
#

what does that mean?

#

Debate is bad because one side jams misinformation down everyone's throats

verbal rivet
#

for example I hear a lot of people ranting about how totally destrcutive the eu is, and thats misinforming

undone berry
#

yes

#

now the other side

verbal rivet
#

and also i hear a lot of people (probably not here) saying how the eu is totally angelic and has never done anything wrong and anyone who opposes it is racist

#

which is also misinforming

sand goblet
#

sounds like the internet

#

there's crazies in every group

verbal rivet
#

though theres more misinformation and one sidedness on the leave side for sure

undone berry
#

and also i hear a lot of people (probably not here) saying how the eu is totally angelic and has never done anything wrong and anyone who opposes it is racist Pretty much never heard that. I can link to articles from a bunch of different places containing the anti-eu lies

gentle moss
#

i would say, looking at on balance, the EU is pretty fucking good.

verbal rivet
#

idk i actually hear that quite a lot charlie :/

gentle moss
#

the only people who think their shit is perfect is the americans

#

¬_¬

oak tangle
#

I am yet to find a pro-EU party (although, admittedly, I'm mostly familiar with pro-EU parties in my own country) that states that the EU is perfect or hasn't pushed for reforms in the last 15 years.

for the difference in attitude between the US and Europe you just have to compare the US legislation with Denmark's

gentle moss

sand goblet
#

in the US it's legal to burn any flag, except the US flag

#

in Denmark, it's illegal to burn any flag, except the Danish flag

gentle moss
#

hah

#

that sort of banana fact shit is everywhere though

#

like "THE EU HAS 10,000 REGULATIONS FOR PILLOWS!"

undone berry
#

Pretty much 10/10 things in there are lies

sand goblet
#

"The EU has 10000 regulations for toothbrushes"

#

"Good."

verbal rivet
#

hhhahah

gentle moss
#

all they did was run a find on the whole EU block of EU law and found references to pillows 10,000 times

sand goblet
#

my response is always "good"

gentle moss
#

regulations are good for the most part

sand goblet
#

because who wants to use a toothbrush that hasn't been regulated?

#

who knows where that's been?

gentle moss
#

deregulation causes shit like the 2008 crash

#

or butt hole toothbrushes

#

as g points out

verbal rivet
#

hm im actually pretty sure i heard the banana "fact" on the bbc a couple of years ago

#

interesting

undone berry
#

Did you actually read that article?

#

Its shitting on a listicle the express did

verbal rivet
#

ah ok

undone berry
#

about 10 things the EU stops

#

and almost all are lies

gentle moss
#

weirdly it's the only tool the people who don't like the EU have

#

misinformation

undone berry
#

Brussels deemed that oven gloves must be able to withstand the pressure of 200c heat causing the price to increase.” also, this is one of the lies the Express printed

#

and imo

gentle moss
#

or straight up lies

undone berry
#

that would be a good thing

verbal rivet
#

yeah im saying im pretty sure i heard one of the facts listed in the article on the bbc

#

which is a lie

undone berry
#

ok

#

but my point is

#

lies are piss easy to find from eurosceptics

oak tangle
#

Anyway, the UK will be fine in the long run, if they manage to get good trade deals. It will cause lower wages at the low end of the spectrum to be competitive and they will probably need to drop some of their quality levels for the US market, but as long as the EU market stays in tact, they could actually do well. It's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma, because if more countries take that the "exit"-route, that will fall down.

sand goblet
#

200c is kind of low

undone berry
#

much harder to find from europhiles

gentle moss
#

the BBC failed to challenge a lot of shit that was clearly bollocks.

verbal rivet
#

yeah i was surprised by that

gentle moss
#

standard of living in the UK will definitely fall for decades

verbal rivet
#

and yeah there are much more lies on the leave/skeptic side for sure

oak tangle
#

They're losing some international influence, but that I guess they're okay with that.

gentle moss
#

well...

#

not really okay with it

undone berry
#

not just more

gentle moss
#

we've lost shit loads of large businesses

undone berry
#

> 99% of the lies are from one side

gentle moss
#

no one wants to be headquartered here anymore

#

which they did for access to the EU markets

verbal rivet
#

i wouldnt know charlie

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

undone berry
#

but

oak tangle
#

They were a major talking partner because of their influence within the EU; they'll lose that. On their own, they quite small compared to the international powerhouses

undone berry
#

you've just been arguing

#

that there wasn't enough balance

#

which was utter horseshit

verbal rivet
#

yeah ik the majority but idk about 99% exactly

#

i still wouldnt call it horseshit

gentle moss
#

yeah, people bang on about the UK being the "X largest economy in the world" but that's gonna fucking plummet

#

even after the 2008 crash we recovered about as fast as greece / spain

#

thanks to poor governance

oak tangle
#

They're not as fucked as my country would be without the EU, so, hey, it's something?

verbal rivet
#

most of the balance is needed on the leave side

#

ofc

sand goblet
#

that's only because they still have their own currency

#

which, if you think you're gonna leave again, is a good thing to have kept

gentle moss
#

yeah, kiss good bye to rotterdam if .nl leaves the EU

oak tangle
#

Rotterdam, Schiphol, but that's just the start

#

We're one of the largest agricultural exporters and our whole economy is based on import, export and shared markets

gentle moss
#

schiphol is one of my favourite airports

oak tangle
#

So, you like chaos

gentle moss
#

nah it's just nice inside

undone berry

isn't chaos just a default feature of airports

so people, if you ever play stellaris, remember

#

while in war, you have to capture colonies of this empire also

#

and to do this, you gotta get your army on your fleet

plucky ridge
#

Which one is Stellaris?

twilit marlin
#

stellaris is paradox 4x strategy

#

about galaxy and stuff

#

you be pacifistic genocider, be democratic genocider, be totalitaristic genocider

#

i mean, by paradox as a studio

#

not as in paradox-paradox

plucky ridge
#

I'm noticing a consistent genocide theme

twilit marlin
#

well, i mean, you can be pacifistic here

#

and if someone assaults you, just hire mercenaries to get them a good lesson

#

while retaining your happy people and building your own utopia

#

but you can also genocide races and make them your slaves

#

or just be democratic and hunt for more resources

#

a lot of options to choose from actually

rough sapphire
#

well

#

paradox games are almost all about genocide

sand goblet
#

Aside from most of them?

#

I mean one of their most well known series is Magicka

rough sapphire
#

isn't Magicka about killing another characters?

sand goblet
#

I mean sure, but that doesn't mean it's about genocide

rough sapphire
#

of course it does

sand goblet
#

No?

#

Genocide is when you kill off an entire race of people or creatures

rough sapphire
#

of course you're wrong

sand goblet
rough sapphire
#

How can you tell that the characters you're killing aren't the entire population of an specific species?

sand goblet
#

How can you tell that they are?

rough sapphire

well, because you can't see more of them in the game

discord is made of different programming language like javascript,objective-c ...

what is useage of python in discord

#

how people are able to create bot with python but python is not used for creating discord.

plucky ridge
#

@sly swift All you have to do to use/make a bot for Discord is to have it tap into their API, which can be done in any language that can send requests over the internet. What Discord was made in is irrelevant

sly swift
#

Alright.

rough sapphire

thats the beauty of API's

#

different languages have a universal standard to communicate with each other

rough sapphire
#

is it okay to set status?

rough sapphire
#

well as long as the status isn't against the rules i don't see why it wouldn't be

#

i.e. an NSFW status, or a status that contains someone's private information, or a status that gives people help with doing illegal things, or anything like that, is probably not a good idea

robust sierra

statuses are cool ImportErr rates 11/10

If the UK picks winter then Ireland will be an hour ahead of it, despite being further west

Is that valid code?

No. Just a thought...

It's like this:

Can someone tell me the different between back end developer and software developer, and solution architect?

quick mantle
#

back end is a specialized role, only dealing with the server side of things not the client

#

solution architect is not a term im familiar with

#

sounds like debug work

rough sapphire
#

The difference between backend dev and software dev is simple. Backend is working usually working with web application and server management; so more in the web development field. Handling sql queries etc. Whereas software dev is restricted to, you know, software. Building client applications, scripting, etc. Think of the difference using spotify. You would have a software dev work on the spotify client, or what the user sees. A backend dev would work with the server, make sure requests are being handled properly etc

#

A solution architect is the person in charge of leading the practice and introducing the overall technical vision for a particular solution

#

So yeah.

#

It's debug work

#

A solution architect is given a problem, and they have to figure out how exactly to craft and come up with a solution

frosty berry
#

I beg to disagree, solution architect is not about (de)bugs, it's about creation new software to fit a particular purpose, think design, conception, and usualy a few steps before coding, so you know what you are going to build before doing it, some coding can of course be part of the design process, but it's not limited to that, UML is another common tool for that.

rough sapphire
#

I guess you're right on that

frosty berry
#

Backend and front end are two sides of a website, they usually use different technologies, as js is about the only option in front, and you usuallyhave to also know css, html, and js technologies like react or vue.js to put that together in a smart way. Back is running on the server, it processes and answers requests from the front, it's usually concerned about managing a database, checking permissions, implementing critical business logic on the data, and serialising the data to send to the front.

#

You can use python or about any language in the backend.

#

But a lot of software are not really designed, but coded directly, as they say ”weeks of debugging can save hours of design”

”weeks of debugging can save hours of design”

Hey, no need to make it personal.

#

Although I'm also guilty of the opposite: overthinking

#

Maybe I just suck at getting things done

frosty berry
#

Haha, don't we all

#

you never get it just right, sometime you overthink it, sometime you don't plan nearly enough, sometime you just ponder the wrong things, this is a hard job

flat pike
#

Thank you guys! This actually helped clear up a lot. What kind of skill set can I learn through using selenium that would translate well to a marketable skill in python development?

E:\PyDis\site>python -m timeit "with open('manage.py') as f:" " lines = f.readlines()"
5000 loops, best of 5: 86.5 usec per loop

E:\PyDis\site>python -m timeit "with open('manage.py') as f:" " lines = f.read().split('/n')"
5000 loops, best of 5: 80.4 usec per loop```
#

There is almost no differences

fallen sparrow
#

Memory not time

solid pollen
#

Errr excuse me

#

I'm pretty sure readlines is a generator as split isn't a generator

fallen sparrow
#

readlines() loads the whole file in one go, you almost always don't want to process the whole thing at once but instead line by line

#

this example isn't the best

solid pollen
#

No..

#

I'm 99% sure readlines() is a generator

fallen sparrow
#

Nah I've tried loading huge files with it, it's not

#

It's recommended to never use it

golden walrus
#

I'd rather be conscious about its fallbacks than just "not use it, ever"

#

so, it loads the entire file and parses it, instead of reading line by line

plucky ridge
#

@solid pollen readlines() isn't. readline() is

tulip palm
#

the file handle (the x in with open("file.txt") as x) can be used to iterate over lines as if it was a generator.

plucky ridge
#

I totally forgot about that as well

I wonder if there are any cheaper android devices that exist just for the purpose of home control

#

I need something to give to my grandparents exclusively to use the sonos app

rough sapphire
#

Some kind of tablet, probably

sand goblet
#

I have a cheap ass Asus tablet we use for that here

#

But it's super slow

fallen sparrow
#

some kind of tablet from aliexpress, maybe xiaomi or some other?

sand goblet
#

Not xiaomi anyway, their rom is full of ads

rough sapphire
#

Ew

#

You can buy them a laptop, then install and run xamarin on it, imagine it's an android tablet slightly bigger than usual

#

run

sand goblet
#

Hahaha

fallen sparrow
#

lol true, they have a good performance to price usually though and it's not hard to remove the adware

sand goblet
#

But no

#

Yeah but you understand this needs to be low maintainance

I've got an old Nexus 7 laying around somewhere. Probably something of those specs would work.
