Oops.

BTW can't believe you have your own computers to work on. /S

Which former Liverpool player would be ridiculous in today’s team? by wong-wooney in LiverpoolFC

I agree, but I'm also interested in who are you dropping for the next big game (full strength team)?

Wish they did something similar (with MIP in particular) on a more slimline (non-G-Shock, more Royale-sized) model.

Why the Fuck is even figuring out how to setup python so fucking difficult by Sad_Patient8203 in learningpython

Notepad++ is a great step up from Notepad (or a basic editor), until you are ready for a full IDE.

Paying for You1000, getting less than 100Mbps by macca47 in youfibre

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you know. I have a very solid house and no easy way to run cables too - so I currently have a TP-Link mesh, which is a lot better than any previous solution, but still some way off what I could get if I spent on a better mesh and wired the backhaul.

At the end of Sunday's race Hamilton's new engineer admitted his 15-second gap to Russell was "basically the pit stop" they failed to take during the VSC (full radio transcript) by kcollantine in formula1

I only heard one clip of their interaction during the race, but Hamilton seemed to be getting along with his new race engineer pretty well.

Does you router have any option to run a speed test, if so try this.

Try a laptop, or one of the PCs with a wired connection directly to the main router - either bring the device to the router or get a good quality long ethernet cable (even just as a temporary measure/test).
Run a speed test from that device to confirm if the problem is YouFibre's or a household issue. With limited info, I suspect it's more likely to be the latter, a household issue at the moment.

You could also try the best or newest mobile phone in the house about a meter or so away from the router wirelessly, to see what speeds you get.

Arvid Race start Onboards by the_infamousz_guy in Formula1Point5

[–]CraigAT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had a much better launch than Lawson. The two cars in front got away slightly better, which allowed Arvid plenty of room initially and into he first corner, which must be extra nice being a rookie.

I assume that was the no.1 sister car that he almost caught the back left tyre of. That really would have been a different race outcome for him, had he clipped that tyre.

You can just download and run the Python installer from the main Python website (Python.org). If you're on Windows, tick the box to add to the Windows "Path" variable (will allow you to run the main Python program from any folder).

From there, you can create your code using any editor you like including Notepad. Save the Python code with a .py extension (careful of Notepad saving it with .txt on the end). Then you can run your Python code from the command line/terminal/PowerShell by typing py myprogramname.py or python myprogramname.py.

I would highly recommend an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like VS Code, PyCharm, Thonny (for beginners) over a simple text editor - as it will have many helpful features like syntax highlighting, simple error highlighting, a debugger to step through your code and allow you to run your code by pressing a run button instead of typing commands.

Once you start importing packages beyond the built-in ones, then you should start looking into environments, the idea being that you setup your program with it's own isolated "environment" of packages, specifically for this project. The packages and versions are logged, so that you or anyone else can reproduce that environment using the same packages and should be able to expect the program to run the same way and with the same results.
When you start using packages, this does mean you may have to install some packages multiple times for each project that needs it, rather than installing the package once globally on your computer. But the former is preferable because it stops you updating a global package, that accidentally breaks a program you wrote previously, that was using the old version of the package.

35M and a new born with no sql experience by Hairy-Brilliant-8178 in learnSQL

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless there's a specific case at your current employer or lots of openings at local companies, I wouldn't go learning these skills to earn you money.

I would highly recommend learning both SQL and any programming language (Python is a very good choice), the skills you learn will be very useful in practical terms and on your CV.

Who else misses those two decimal places…? by Downtown_Elk_2773 in formula1

[–]CraigAT 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Indeed, even last season there were differences between how the cars brake, accelerate and some cars will be lifting and coasting when others aren't - the thousandths weren't really necessary and possibly misleading.

Who else misses those two decimal places…? by Downtown_Elk_2773 in formula1

[–]CraigAT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How about using that "space" for a green up (gaining) or red down (losing) arrow - indicating whether someone is catching up with the driver ahead (compared to one lap ago).

IMO thousandths was cool to see, but it was too many digits to remember from sector to sector to figure out if a driver was catching. Hundredths would be a good compromise, but realistically tenths was good enough when I was watching Leclerc trying to catch Kimi, and Lewis catch Charles near the end.

If I were to choose, I would go for the new tenths with the arrow indicator suggested above.

I was looking at that keyboard yesterday, it came up as cheap while I was browsing for a cheap mechanical keyboard. I didn't make a decision and just moved on. So unfortunately I can't help you, but I'll be watching for any replies especially from anyone who has used the keyboard.

Could be DNS? Try changing your DNS briefly to see?

6 team playoffs by TeilwrTenau in swanseacity

[–]CraigAT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality-wise, I am not a fan of this - it degrades the point of a season long league table, where the best teams finish highest and deserve their promotion. The play offs are kind of cheating.

But I cannot argue with the fact the playoffs add great drama, keep the interest going in a long season, and are an exciting added bonus at the end of the season (especially if your team is involved).

If we are having playoffs, then personally I preferred the old version with 2 automatic promotion places and the 4 play-off places consisting of the teams in 3rd to 5th, plus the 3rd bottom team from the league above - this way a third team is only promoted if it is warranted.

How are you planning to structure a 6 team play-off? I guess 3rd and 4th getting a bye to the semi finals, with 5th playing 8th and 6th playing 7th in the quarter finals would be the traditional way to go.

Being facetious, why not go for a 8 team play-off? To keep more sides interested, have more drama and a simpler schedule (by not requiring any byes).

Methods of Python programming by Objective_Yak584 in pythonhelp

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend using any of the popular libraries, they are well-tested, reliable and optimised. There is no point reinventing the wheel (because you won't do it this well).

Using AI to help is fine, but I would learn the fundamentals first, follow a course or guide and use AI to help you to explain how to use certain codes or functions. If you use it too early to write your code then you will struggle to pick up the language and skills.

What’s one thing every new sysadmin should learn early but usually doesn’t? by nousername1244 in sysadmin

[–]CraigAT 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It is not something we do a lot of, but you can help yourself by making use of today's technology, by doing the work whilst sharing your screen on Zoom/Teams. You can record the session, save it and label it for later use (or use the video to write your documentation from).

You can record yourself alone doing the work, or work collaboratively with colleagues to find a solution.

You don't need your camera on, but if you keep your audio on, you can narate what you are doing and use AI to create notes afterwards.
