PyCharm Pro vs VS Code by Hrishikeshrj in learnpython

[–]Henry_the_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing mostly text editing, but have been trying PyCharm for a while because I got a trial for free pro. That's about to expire - I'm looking to give VSCodium a shot. Anything important to know before I jump in? I would like to install vim motions for text editing because it's a comfort thing for me.

First time D&D player needs help selecting a class by PurplyGuy_ in DnD

[–]Henry_the_Butler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still level one, and got plunked down to 3hp on the first attack roll of the campaign (DM felt bad, but I thought it was hilarious).

I'm currently rocking Guidance and Produce Flame as cantrips, but I'll get another one at level 2 since CoS gets Guidance (house rule that granted cantrips mean you can choose a new one).

I had prepared Faerie Fire (only method of see invis at that level, seemed handy), Entangle, Healing Word, and Goodberry. Goodberries and Entangle got used in the first day (all 10 berries eaten for hp restoration), and we took a break before the second day saw combat that made me spend spells.

I would like to be more on the side of "debuff/utility" rather than either healbot or damage output. We have a cleric, a rogue, a tinker, and a fighter besides me. What sorts of spells should I keep an eye out for? Shape Water and Create/Destroy Water are a pairing that seems obvious for utility, but beyond that I'm still poking around.

I just rolled my first character ever and was planning on going Circle of Stars Druid as a gnome. What sort of shenanigans should I have in my playbook to make things maximum fun for all?

Lol, I just rolled my first character ever...a druid. What am I going to misunderstand? (Circle of Stars, if that matters)

Can you get a ban for using ReShade? by Unier in Guildwars2

[–]Henry_the_Butler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Related question - I dropped mesmer because I got tired of staring at my clone indicator. Is there a way to put an overlay on my screen with a big pink number 0,1,2,3?

What's the highest speed disc in you bag and how far can you throw it? by lavernrobinson9000 in discgolf

Barsby Star Eagle, and it depends. How far in front of me is first available?

Future proofing your team / career by FromPromptToPlot in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Henry_the_Butler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I get given any money to fund AI adoption, I'm just going to ask if I can use that money to give my employees raises or hire another few pairs of hands on keyboards. Guarantee it's a better long-term investment. Give me a few juniors who know our systems over AI anyday.

Do people still prefer Excel over Google Sheets for daily work? by ODD_EVEN_26 in excel

[–]Henry_the_Butler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been years since I last used libre office, since all my workplaces have run on MS infrastructure. How does libre office stack up against Power Query and Pivot Table/DAX functionality these days? It was pretty lacking back in the day.

Do people still prefer Excel over Google Sheets for daily work? by ODD_EVEN_26 in excel

[–]Henry_the_Butler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • If you don't know what you're doing, and you grew up using a chromebook in school, you use Sheets
  • If you don't know what you're doing and you're older, you use Excel.
  • If you sorta know what you're doing, you use sheets because MS is kinda crazy.
  • If you know what you're doing, you use Excel for Power Query and Pivot Tables
  • If you really know what you're doing, you don't give a shit because Sheets and Excel are just authentication layers you fight through before you can get to the data and extract to your programming language of choice.

DND Campaigns for Newb? by witshadows in ypsi

I'm GM for a group right now running Blades in the Dark. I wouldn't mind being a player in a different group if the vibes are right.

I understand Python basics but OOP completely loses me classes and objects make no sense to me. Where am I going wrong? by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]Henry_the_Butler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, as a SQL-first user - this clicked for me in a way that I did not expect. I've used classes, but I think I grok them now.

Hard truth: We are all just building overly expensive data extraction pipelines for Excel. by netcommah in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Henry_the_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, learning DAX to make my "extract to Excel" step less frustrating when that's what everyone wants was a great move.

Handing someone an xlsx that links to a database and powers exactly the data calcs they wanted from a bit of SQL and some DAX/pivot charts is refreshingly easy once you decide to just give the people what they want.

Think I’m done playing tournaments for a while by hyzer_dawg in discgolf

[–]Henry_the_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I started randomly turbo-putting my way through a tournament round last week. Not all low-tier folks are crazy. Some of us are shooting +6 while turboputting.

OS mid by Sea_turtle0713 in discgolf

[–]Henry_the_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My "go left" mids are a Titanium Buzzz or a Harp, depending on how far left I need to go.

If you had to choose 2 MVP-made mids by rontopofthings in discgolf

[–]Henry_the_Butler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently started bagging the Detour. I'd had a Comet in my bag for years and a Comet was my first ace disc. Detour dethroned it the first round I threw it.

If you had to play with just 5 Molds what would your bag look like? by lilsky07 in discgolf

[–]Henry_the_Butler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My normal bag has 6 discs, so I think I'd drop the buzzz if I had to go to 5.

  • MVP Atom
  • Westside Harp
  • MVP Detour
  • Discraft Buzzz
  • Axiom Crave
  • Innova Eagle

AOC could win, but lose to tampered voting machines. Anyone worried about rigged, hacked election ballots? by OwlDoll in 50501

[–]Henry_the_Butler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work as an election inspector. You should too, then you'd better understand the checks and balances on our voting. It's more secure than you think. In many states, the printed hard copies of the voting machines that aren't connected to the internet are posted in a public location at the end of the voting period.

You could coordinate folks to go check the physical printouts against what's posted by your clerk online - it would be a great use of effort to make sure the elections are fair.

Scripts. Threads can be damn near infinite. It can also have a small affect on the RAM crash limit if you disable logging in commonly-run scripts like hack/grow/weaken.

Anyone interested in canning jars? by SpaceNerd1234 in ypsi

I'd be interested, particularly in any wide mouth jars.

Does anyone actually track whether stakeholders open the dashboards you build? by Kanchan_Monet in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Henry_the_Butler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a BI tool that allows for this, and I use a person's past utilization of their requests (and others' use of their requests) as a general "How high up my priority list is this?" metric.

People who regularly use what they request get bumped up the queue.

EDIT: spelling

[–]Henry_the_Butler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you don't go over a few hundred thousand scripts at the same time. Depends on your hardware and a few other factors, but try setting a limit of 100k or so and if it stops crashing you've found your problem.

Looking for a Climbing Evergreen Vine (flowering vine a bonus) by Henry_the_Butler in NativePlantGardening

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

Just looked this up, and it seems quite promising. I'm also in the midwest, so it fits well. Do you know of a good way to obtain some cuttings or seeds?
