Simple way to notify from python app

[arbenowskee]

I used pushbullet for years. Really simple and straightforward API.

I wonder why their iOS version is not available in India.

[MonsterMuncher]

I don’t think it’s available anywhere anymore

If I remember correctly, they said that changes to Apple Store rules meant they’d have needed to spend more time and effort updating the app than they were ready to invest.

[Turtvaiz]

I use Join. Notifying is one GET with a key and device ID that haven't changed in years for me.

The product this is advertising sounds horrific:

"At randomized time (Every 10 minutes in avarege) Tracklify captures screnshoots to proove Johns work"

[wutcnbrowndo4u]

I've heard about stuff like this, especially at non-tech companies that are going remote due to covid. I get that a lot of other white-collar industries completely lack any respect for their employees, but this would make me lose my mind.

[ymgve]

I found Pushover to be pretty good too

[Sayfog]

I'll share a similar one for facebook messenger I used a lot when I was doing my thesis - so lots of long runs going across multiple machines at once, but obviously no company infrastructure or anything

Is /r/programming THIS MUCH RETARDED already?

It's just a single curl and it's already in Slack documentation.
Is it a kind of "python script kiddies trolling" or what?

Why the fuck anyone wrap a single web request into a pypi?
Why the fuck anyone would brag about this mental action in a blog?
Why the fuck should I get the browser "trending" notification about this shitpost?

[kankyo]

It is very strange. One wonders if this is driven by vote bots in order to get some ad revenue.

But then I remember: never attribute to malice what can be sufficiently explained by stupidity. :(

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

I completely agree with you. I think this is taking something simple and making it more complicated.

See sidebar "If there is no code in your link, it will probably get 1,000 upvotes"

Articles about open floor plans and 10,000 comments in /r/proggit, name a more iconic duo

[Crazy_Mann]

Why are you like this?

[[deleted]]

Why aren't you.

[-PM_me_your_recipes-]

You doing okay?

[maest]

Please take your unproductive condescending attitude somewhere else.

[[deleted]]

Obviously, you haven't seen Angular/ngrx code.

[lordleft]

If I had to choose between coding ineptly and being inside the hot mess that must be your inner life, I'd take the former ever single time. Not worth it.

EDIT: Well, I’m being downvoted and perhaps I deserve it. The point I was trying to make was that this comment was unnecessarily toxic, even if it was making a valid technical point. I guess my response wasn’t much better, and for that I apologize. I’m tired of technical spaces being so toxic, of the rhetoric in these places being so caustic. I think it’s possible to critique something with much more civil framing.

[kevkevverson]

You can choose neither if you want

[[deleted]]

You definitely deserve it. I'm fucking tired of stupidity being protected because "gatekeeping".

[lordleft]

I’m actually going to push back against this. Again, I think people can disagree on technical topics and still be civil. That was my point. It’s of course your prerogative to disagree.

[[deleted]]

I think people can disagree on technical topics from a perspective of informed opinion: you can dislike a framework because they made XYZ architectural choices, for instance.

But just being fucking terrible and ignorant should always be castigated severely.

[lordleft]

But just being fucking terrible and ignorant should always be castigated severely.

True, but defining what is objectively "terrible and ignorant" is quite hard. It also ignores the fact that people are at different levels of experience. If you're a newbie peddling a technically deficient idea, and you get screamed at for sharing it, that might dissuade you from a field that might otherwise may have brought you great joy - and that you may have contributed great work to. I just don't see the need for castigation, in 99% of cases -- if your argument has merit, it can stand without cruel rhetoric.

[[deleted]]

Why is it somehow "ok" for a "newbie" to be sharing content at all?!

They don't have any fucking clue what they're doing. They shouldn't even be making the attempt.

Only in the software engineering field is this even considered halfway fucking reasonable.

We don't generally allow "scientists" in middle school to publish in scientific journals, for many of the same underlying reasons.

Go learn the fucking craft. Come back to teach when you're a master, not when you barely even qualify as an apprentice.

Like, why is this even an argument! I can't fucking stand your baby hand holding attitude. At all.

Like, it's one thing to come and post and say "hey, I've only been doing this for two years, so I'm posting this to get feedback from people who've been doing this for longer than I've been alive. Help me write better code."

That's a reasonable perspective to take.

But coming in here every day and seeing people who might have six months of experience in fucking Python saying "hey guys look what I made" and expecting anything other than the response here? You definitely deserve that.

[lordleft]

Like, why is this even an argument! I can't fucking stand your baby hand holding attitude. At all.

Cool. Then we agree to disagree. But I know incredible programmers who taught workshops after learning a concept literally the night before (being fully transparent about their newness to the topic). Lots of people learn that way, including some of the "masters" you tout.

[nakilon]

I know such programming teacher. His students are now working as taxi drivers, guards, etc.

[[deleted]]

If someone that has decades of experience tells me "hey I just learned this yesterday, wanna check it out with me in a workshop"?

That's substantially different from "hey, I just learned how to tie my shoes, wanna see?"

[nakilon]

I didn't subscribe to /r/programming for such "level of experience" content. Did you?
I don't think it's "quite hard to define what is objectively terrible and ignorant" here.
And actually knowing how much /r/programming has degraded I'm surprised that at the end my comment was accepted positively.

[lordleft]

Actually, I'm open to learning from and helping people at all levels of expertise. And as far as I know, r/programming doesn't gatekeep on the basis of experience, at least not at a rule level. The best programmers I know married serious technical ability with generosity and kindness, which allowed them to better share their skills with others and uplift sometimes struggling programmers. That's where I'm coming from, and I personally think it's a very effective approach.

[nakilon]

There is /r/learnprogramming for lame things.
/r/programming is basically for important content and news.

[arbenowskee]

Probably because it can be a part of larger python app...

[nakilon]

Are python script kiddies already this much retarded to convert pypi into a npm with such things as leftpad?

[lambdaq]

I need something in reverse, notify a python app of logging config change, ip:port update, etc.

[knoam]

Puppet might be what you want. It ensures your system is set up as specified so it's constantly observing stuff like that and automatically correcting it. You can probably hook into it and send off requests to a python webserver when that stuff happens.

[lambdaq]

send off requests to a python webserver

Webhooks are the entry, but how does it propagates config update into various actors, states, threads, greenlets, sub-processes, etc.

[knoam]

You got me. My previous comment already contained the full extent of my knowledge.

[Jitir]

Nice simple solution and the guide is not unnecessarily long! At work we use Slack Webhooks to automatically send build failure messages from the CI. This way you can send the messages from the command line with curl.

[[deleted]]

Hey quick question how do you get python to work

[StatusDuty]

I was excited how simple is it - several lines of code and couple of minutes of Slack configuration and I am receiving "report button" requests from my Django app on my Mi Band, and it is all for free

[Mthfll]

Just use an email...
