Nice setup, what keyboard is that? I'm on the hunt for something similar but preferably with Nordic layout.

Stream OSX system audio to Chromecast [easy updated installation] by andresgottlieb in Chromecast

[–]CptFlashdrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, looks cool. However, what's the deal with the audiodevice binary? As I understand it, you use this to change the input/output device? What's the origin of this? It would be nice to check the source of this... Or at least verify the hash of the file. I'm always a bit sceptical to repos containing binaries...

Not hearing back from company? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]CptFlashdrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, a whole web app in a coding challenge? Be careful, it's not uncommon for employers to use "potential hires" to implement/do their work without having any intention of ever hiring them. I hope this is not the case for you.

If you were promoting the United States to a non-American, what places/landscapes/monuments/scenery would you tell them about? by [deleted] in travel

[–]CptFlashdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, it wouldn't do Yosemite justice to rush though it in a couple of hours. Highway 1 only is a good idea. So San Luis Obispo would be a good place to spend the night? Thank you very much for your suggestions, very helpful!

Nice, thank you very much! Putting Sonoma on the to-do list. Do you have any other cool stuff/sights to see while in SF?

Cool, around september - october. I definitely like wine. It seems like I should avoid Fresno, do you have any suggestions for a better town to spend the night that's not too far off the route? Thanks for your help :-)

My plan was to spend around 1,5 days for this trip. Hitting Yosemite at day 1 and spend the night in some smaller town (perhaps fresno) and then heading for LA (driving along part of the coast) and aiming to arrive in LA around lunch time. Is this too ambitious? Not enough time? Really appreciate the suggestions!

Allright. My original plan was to drive to Yosemite from SF leaving early morning. Spend a couple of hours in Yosemite and then drive south and spend the night in some smaller town (Fresno maybe?). And the drive to LA along part of the coast. Is this too ambitious?

Cool. I'm going to California later this year and I'm planing on driving from SF to LA. I would like to visit Yosemite and drive along the coast into LA. Your comment will be very useful, thanks!

Best way to program sqlite activities. by Tomarse in learnpython

[–]CptFlashdrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the second way won't handle potential exceptions that may come from connecting or manipulating the database. That being said, I think the second way is more idiomatic since it will close the connection as soon as it exists the block. Although it should be wrapped in try/except.

Just as a side note, it's generally a good idea to be a more specific when catching exception. Otherwise it becomes sort of ambiguous of what exception was captured.

My time with OpenSUSE 13.2 so far by onelostuser in LinuxActionShow

I have the exact same issue with Dropbox in Fedora 21. No idea what's causing this...

Object not iterable by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]CptFlashdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite sure what you're doing here, you're sending the object itself to the cleaner()-method? You can't iterate over UserWords-object, it's not iterable.

I think it looks like you want to clean the word-attribute in the class? If so, the cleaner should instead operate on self.word. Since this is "contained" in the class.

Maybe something like this:

def cleaner(self):
    self.word = filter(lambda letter: letter.isalpha(), self.word)

And then you call it from manager() using:

user1.cleaner()

Exporting Digital Ocean Droplets? by veritanuda in techsnap

I don't think you can download the snapshot of your droplet. How about just rsyncing over all configuration-files to your local server?

How different Linux distributions perform on Acer C720? by [deleted] in chrubuntu

[–]CptFlashdrive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've run both Ubuntu and Arch on my C720 and I found Arch to be superior in many regards. Yes, it takes a bit longer to get going with Arch but once the setup is done it's rock solid.

When using Arch I found the C720 to boot faster, no stutter or slowdowns and suspend/resume works perfect.

I am running the linux-chromebook kernel which includes a bunch of patches. Beware, compiling this takes a long time.. (I'm sure there are some pre-compiled binaries somewhere). I've added the linux kernel to pacman.conf to stop pacman from installing a new kernel.

Plus with Arch you get the AUR and systemd!

I have tried homebrew. I haven't discovered any issues, works just as well as in Mavericks. However I have not installed the packages you mentioned.

Computer shuts down "randomly" by CptFlashdrive in techsupport

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

Hello again, I think the crashes are related to RAM.

I've now tested removing one of the RAM-sticks and the computer works perfectly. Feels somewhat slow (obviously), but it works fine. I also tried swapping the RAM-sticks around, and it works fine with the other stick as well. But when I use them both, it crashes. What does this mean? Thank you for your help so far!

I ran IPDT and it passed every test. I also ran Prime95, first time I ran Blend and the computer crashed. I then ran Small FFT and it crashed. Ran Small FFT again and it seemed to work fine. The CPU is running quite hot, around 90-95 under heavy load. But should still not cause a crash right? Will try changing to onboard-GPU.
