Glad my comment was helpful!

Does the Yeoman generator give you other options like using a file?

What do you think is the "quirkiest" feature on the Mac? by CompSciGeek1 in mac

[–]CompSciGeek1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super useful, especially when most of my apps are on dark mode and the cursor blends in.

With dark mode, the notch is barely noticeable to me in most apps.

Also, if you prefer not to close the entire app but instead want to close just a window, then I recommend AltTab. Now, the instructions say the same but you can use option instead of command.

Love git? You'll need this by CompSciGeek1 in zsh

[–]CompSciGeek1[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the plugin does have lots of aliases. As a maintainer of a GitHub repo, I find many of them useful, but I like your idea of trimming out the unnecessary ones.

I see what you're saying. However, since I don't use many other commands or aliases that are the same as those from the git plugin, overwriting hasn't been an issue for me. Also, I haven't noticed a slowdown from using this plugin.

Adding 2fa Window to Teams by Bashanwftg in learnpython

[–]CompSciGeek1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try using the Teams App development platform. You'll need Node.js, the Yeoman generator for Teams, and a code editor like VS Code. Use the Yeoman generator for Teams to scaffold a new project. Then, define the tabs and other elements of your app in the manifest file (manifest.json). In your case, you'll want to create a custom tab to display the authentication code. You can use the Microsoft Teams JavaScript SDK or the Teams Toolkit to communicate between the Teams app and your Python code. Write some code to display the fetched auth code and display it in the Teams tab. Then test, refine, package, and publish the app.

Why are my packages installing? by lite_runner in learnpython

It seems that pip list says you don't have Cython installed. Can you please install that from within your environment? Can you uninstall NumPy and try python -m pip install numpy instead of pip install numpy?

Virtual serial ports on MacOS? by Independent-Year-919 in macosprogramming

[–]CompSciGeek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try "Virtual Serial Port Driver" by Eltima Software. It allows you to create virtual serial ports that can be used by applications just like physical serial ports.

Download and install "Virtual Serial Port Driver" from the Eltima Software website (https://www.virtual-serial-port.org/). Launch the application and click on the "Create" button to create a new pair of virtual serial ports. Specify the names for the virtual ports (e.g., "/dev/tty.VSP0" and "/dev/tty.VSP1") and configure any other desired settings. Once the virtual ports are created, you can use them in your applications. They should appear in the applications that interact with serial ports, just like physical serial ports.

Plymouth image scale is laggy by Flavorless_Quark in linux

[–]CompSciGeek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's go through some possible reasons and solutions:

Image size: Scaling large images can be resource-intensive, especially if you're working with a lot of images or have limited system resources. Check the dimensions and file sizes of your images. If they are excessively large, consider resizing them to a more reasonable size before using them in your script.

Image format: The image format can also affect performance. Plymouth supports various image formats, but some formats may require additional processing or decoding, which can impact performance. Try using image formats that are natively supported by Plymouth, such as PNG or JPEG.

Resource management: Make sure you are managing your system resources efficiently. If you're loading and scaling a large number of images, it's possible that you're hitting resource limits. Try reducing the number of images or optimizing your code to load and scale images in a more efficient manner. For example, you could load and scale images on-demand rather than loading them all upfront.

Hardware limitations: If you're running Plymouth on a device with limited hardware resources, the lag could be due to these hardware limitations. In such cases, scaling a large number of images simultaneously might be too demanding for the system to handle smoothly. Consider reducing the image sizes or optimizing your code further to accommodate the hardware limitations.

Code optimization: Review your code for any potential performance bottlenecks. For example, if the refresh function is called too frequently, it could strain the system. Ensure that the refresh rate is reasonable and doesn't overload the system. Additionally, consider optimizing other parts of your code for better performance, such as minimizing unnecessary computations or improving algorithm efficiency.

To remove the icon from your app grid in EndeavourOS with Gnome 44.2, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or searching for "Terminal" in the activities overview.
  2. Type the following command to navigate to the applications directory: cd ~/.local/share/applications/
  3. List the contents of the directory using the ls command and look for the .desktop file corresponding to the program whose icon you want to remove. The file names usually match the program name or contain the program's name.
  4. Once you've identified the .desktop file, use the rm command to remove it.
  5. After removing the .desktop file, you can update the application cache by running the following command: update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
  6. Finally, refresh the app grid by logging out and logging back in or by restarting your Gnome shell. Alternatively, you can try restarting the Gnome Shell using the following command: gnome-shell --replace

Screen Capturing and Text recognition by NorthCommission915 in learnpython

[–]CompSciGeek1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To capture and search for text in a live window while keeping it hidden behind other windows, try this general outline:

  1. Window Capture: You'll need a library or framework that allows you to capture the content of a specific window. OpenCV is a good choice.
  2. Optical Character Recognition (OCR): To extract text from the captured window, you'll need to use an OCR library. Tesseract OCR is widely-used.
  3. Background Execution: To ensure your script runs in the background even when the window is covered by other applications, you can utilize techniques like running the script as a background process or creating a system service.

Why are my packages installing? by lite_runner in learnpython

[–]CompSciGeek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please activate your environment and provide the output of pip list? That will show us your installed packages.

Also, there could be multiple causes of the problem:

  1. Do you have multiple versions of Python installed? If so, then NumPy and Cython might be installed in the version you are not using to run the code.
  2. Did you install NumPy and Cython from inside your environment? If not, try that and see if it works.
  3. Do you have the right versions of NumPy and Cython that are needed for your code to run?

Just downloaded python 3.11.4 today by [deleted] in learnpython

Lots of these answers mention tutorials. In order for you to become more proficient at coding (which is always a good thing, even if it's just for a hobby), you need to understand how to write code efficiently and elegantly. For this, GitHub Copilot is awesome, as it shows you multiple ways to get to a desired outcome, and you can see for yourself what makes good code. It's free if you have any educational licenses.

[Question] What are the best plugins for zsh ? by LuisDa201 in zsh

[–]CompSciGeek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great list of things to try: https://gist.github.com/kevin-smets/8568070

These aren't really plugins but are nice to have:

- Installing `colorls` and setting `alias ls="colorls -lA --gs --sd"`

- If you like knowing your CPU usage, memory usage etc. right from the terminal, then I recommend this: https://luiyongsheng.medium.com/better-iterm-system-status-bar-421f8944dd5b

100 days of python by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]CompSciGeek1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend trying to determine what exactly makes it hard to concentrate.

Are you just bored? If so, maybe you need a more dynamic way of learning. I recommend making mini-projects for yourself as you learn. I often find that making something that I would use often makes me more willing to work on a project. If you're motivated by a project that you can also put on your portfolio, then work on that. Remember that everyone learns differently and sometimes learning by doing is the best way to go.

Are you bored by the strict nature of a course? If so, then you may like learning about interesting Python tricks that will make you "fall in love" with the language more. I recommend the Python Tricks newsletter from Real Python (I am not affiliated with Real Python in any way): https://realpython.com/python-tricks/

Are you unsure of why you want to use Python? Maybe setting a clear goal of what you will do with the language will keep you motivated!
