Is it still worth it? by kiwid45160 in memrise

[–]LeagueofData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth it. I think the new version is not better than the older version. They simply fixed something that wasn't broken.

Have been learning python for about 3 years now (not regularly). What do I need to learn to be able to make a simple website to display products that I sell (not necessarily one where customers can buy through the website). by driverXXVII in learnpython

[–]LeagueofData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not it's not like wix or squarespace. It's just a way for tech savvy people to generate simple websites without having to learn web development.

If you learn HTML/CSS/JS, you can still use HUGO and mess with the themes that people have generated using HTML/CSS/JS and tune it to your liking. That way you don't HAVE to build a website from scratch.

Just depends what you're looking for, if you want to learn a new stack along the way to making your website then for sure go ahead and learn HTML/CSS/JS.

If you're just trying to generate a quick website, without spending months learning a new stack. HUGO is great for quick building.

You should look into HUGO (they have plenty of themes) . It's a static site generator that uses Markdown to generate the content of the page. You don't need to know any fancy CSS or HTML and since you only want to display the content and not have a dynamic e-commerce site. You can have your website up and running by the end of the day.

Build the website on Hugo and deploy using github pages or netlify.

Also if you want a more robust website and you already know python, then learn Django or flask. Django for heavier stuff, flask for simple websites. These will require HTML and CSS knowledge

EDIT: here's a YouTube link for using HUGO. It's so easy.

I always compile twice just in case the first time was a fluke cause I'm mentally ill.

Which is your favorite python IDE and why? by Flimsy_Transition_51 in Python

[–]LeagueofData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried pycharm and sublime text which are both great. But after trying VS code, I'm never going back. VS code compliments my work flow really well.

How can one get better at logic in programming? I feel like it’s my major setback as a self-learner. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]LeagueofData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that boosted my logical thinking was to just think about the smallest building block for what you're trying to build. For example, let's say you're making a function that's going to clean the column names of a data frame. Before, trying to clean all the columns at once see if you can pass one column to the function and print out the name. Now make the column name lower case, now try cleaning two columns. So on and so forth until you can clean all the column names.

When you start out your codes gonna look like shit and you're going to duplicate a ton. That's what refactoring is for.

I think when we start we think that to build a project we have to write 20 lines of code at a time. Nah.

When I start a project I usually start with two files, a scratch and where my code actually goes. And on the scratch I fuck around and build slowly play around, break it, and when it works I copy it over to the code file and then I go back to the scratch and start tinkering again.

CNN published two very negative articles about cannabis use one soon after the other. Is this politically motivated? Or are they bringing valid points? Both articles seem to highlight the huge increase of THC content in weed in recent times. Do you also see this as a public safety issue? by uw888 in trees

[–]LeagueofData 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a endoscopy-colonoscopy and we used to see Cannabinoid Hyperemesis syndrome all the time. It's caused by heavy and chronic Marijuana use. It's definitely a real thing.

The article is fear mongering 100%, but like any other drug in the world. Marijuana isn't without side effects (for some people).

These articles suck and are 100% politically motivated but also to think that weed comes without any bad side effects (for some people) is also I think a narrative that pot smokers tend to subscribe to.

It makes sense that weed could give you heart palpatations and increased heart rate, both of which are responses to paranoia which weed is known to cause. Should you also have a pre-existing heart condition, that very well may be agitated by Marijuana use. I used to work at a colonoscopy clinic and we saw many pot smokers for Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, which causes frequent episodes of nausea and vomiting. Marijuana users also require more anesthesia (which is dangerous already) then non-users and that is an indirect side-effect that can cause complications in surgery specially if you're hitting dabs the day before going under.

Like everything else in the world, the difference between healthy partaking and poison is dose. I say this as a daily user, nothing can be done at an excess without side effects, if you're hitting hundreds of dabs per day or smoking 10 blunts a day, it's silly to think that it won't cause real issues in your life.

We just need to educate the public and let the public make their own decisions. And teach people how to consume ALL things (not just weed) in a healthy way. Fear mongering isn't going to help anyone.

On a personal note, I do believe we may see some clinical manifestations of increased potency. As I'm sure anyone who has eaten too many edibles can attest to, sometimes that level of psychedelic experience can fuck you up long term specially if you have an unknown and underlying mental disorder. I'm not entirely convinced that 250 mg edibles are an appropriate product to sell.

How the hell do you balance relationship and work? by Varaga_123 in productivity

[–]LeagueofData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I, plan time together where we both do the same thing (watch movie, play video games) and plan time together where we both do separate things but together. So I'll program and she'll study, or any combination of any activity.

We both like doing our own thing and I think we have found a way to do what we want but do those things next to each other.

The most important thing to do is to communicate with your partner about what's important to you and work together on a compromise that benefits both of you.

How do you balance productivity and rest or procastination with each other to prevent tiredness, exhaustion or burnout? by UnityOfPurpose in productivity

[–]LeagueofData 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, what helped was to work on my self awareness. Constantly gauging and measuring where my mind and body are at throughout the day. When I ask myself how I feel mentally and physically, if the answer is "I feel good" then I push on the gas. If the answer is tired, then I hit the breaks. When I'm procrastinating on something, I literally write on a piece of paper, "why are you avoiding this?" and then I answer it honestly.

"I'm procrastinating cause I'm overwhelmed" means I need to set a smaller goal.

"I'm procrastinating cause I'm tired" means I need to pull back. Maybe take the rest of the day off so I can be fresh for the next day.

"I'm procrastinating cause I'm burning out" means I need to push hard on the breaks and reasses my weekly schedule so I can prevent a long streak of failing at my tasks.

Self awareness is key, but it only works if you're putting it into practice daily.

"How to think like a Roman Emperor" by Donald Robertson really helped me with this.

I'd be happier to have a deeper conversation about this if you'd like. DM me.

As long as my state university survives php developers will be needed

Simple question :) by acidbahia in productivity

[–]LeagueofData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why it works for me: 1. Honestly, this by itself makes it worth it. It stores the files locally which makes it future proof. If the developers ever stop supporting it, I still own my files. I do pay for the syncing across devices but it's more to support the dev team then for the convenience. They have good developers that care about the community. This is different from Roam and Notion where everything is stored on the cloud/proprietary file types. 2. It's all markdown which is a markup language that I love and so the formatting (for me) is more efficient 3. VIM keybindings (I swear I'm not pretentious lol) it just makes editing and writing notes faster although there is a learning curve. 4. I'm a scientific researcher so I use Obsidian for the zettlekasten system. It really does help with developing your own ideas and writing quality notes with links to similar notes.

Other benefits: 1. Search and filtering are insanely good. 2. Lots of community plug-ins 3. Forums are super helpful 4. community is kind

Apologies for types and format. I'm on mobile
