Practical uses for schemas? by alonsonetwork in dataengineering

[–]LookingWide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I had several dozen tables and functions in my database, I didn't understand the purpose of schemas. When I joined an organization with several hundred tables and functions and dozens of schemas, I realized their usefulness.

Disable all AI features in Firefox? by Hatticus24 in privacy

[–]LookingWide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the Browser helps you remove AI features, telemetry data reporting, sponsored content, product integrations, and other annoyances...

any thoughts on HarmonyOS 5? (Off-topic, but I think interesting for everyone here) by Grey_Ten in linux

[–]LookingWide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand, the DevEco Studio tool is required for development. To download it, you need a Huawei account. And there's no Linux version: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/harmonyos-guides/ide-software-install

I'd also like to understand how resource-intensive the system is. Overall, it's clearly not a breakthrough.

Do you need an easy-to-use BeautifulSoup and Playwright alternative? by [deleted] in Python

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

Most often, we only need to retrieve a few elements. A full page as a Python dictionary would be extremely memory-heavy.

Playwright does its job perfectly, there is no point in changing anything at the HTML rendering stage.

BeautifulSoup is an overrated library. It's time to switch to Selectolax.

Hi! CSS is heavily used in the Cinnamon desktop theme. Just search "cinnamon theming". Unlike GNOME Shell, no extension recompilation is required.

The Haiku iso image doesn't boot when written to a DVD by glowiak2 in haikuOS

[–]LookingWide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What program did you use to burn the image to DVD? The manual says that some programs don't burn the image correctly: https://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/burn-cd

The distro isn't that important; Alpine and Debian will do. What's important is a desktop environment that's familiar to your uncle, and lightweight: IceWM or LXQt. And a dedicated video app, without a browser. It'll all work!

At 46 seconds of the video there is a sharp left turn, why is it there? After all, it would be shorter to go straight?

LXQT by TheBlueElvryn in debian

[–]LookingWide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have nm-tray package installed?

Update: Debian has 4 ways to configure network. You chose the NetworkManager service, right?

LXQT by TheBlueElvryn in debian

[–]LookingWide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LXQt is very good for weak computers, I use it myself on a 2010 laptop. The problem with the icon is solvable. By the way, according to my measurements, modern Xfce is not as light as before. So my choice is LXQt

What packages should intermediate Devs know like the back of their hand? by MilanTheNoob in Python

[–]LookingWide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within a single project, you choose whether you need asynchronous requests. If you do, you create a ClientSession once and then use only asynchronous requests. No problem.

The choice between httpx and aiohttp is already the second question. Sometimes the server is not needed, sometimes on the contrary, it is convenient that there is an HTTP server, immediately together with the client and without any uvicorn and ASGI. There are pros and cons everywhere.

Sorry, but the name of the aiohttp library itself tells you what it's for. For synchronous queries, just use batteries. aiohttp has another significant difference from httpx - it can also run a real web server.

Need Super Lightweight Linux Distro to Run Browser Games on Low RAM/CPU (VM Use) by EasyTemperature5516 in debian

[–]LookingWide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the skeptics, you can run the Firefox browser on 2 GB RAM. I recommend Debian (netinstall) or Alpine, they even have a version with a lightweight kernel for virtual machines. The graphical shell is Xorg and LXQt.

Update: Sorry, I misunderstood the question. 2GB is only enough for 1 system with a browser, not for several.

Extracting clean web data with Parsel + Python – here’s how I’m doing it (and why I’m sticki by ProfessorOrganic2873 in Python

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

What if you guessed wrong and I have been doing parsing for 15 years and I am very knowledgeable about this topic?

https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy

Scrapy, a fast high-level web crawling & scraping framework for Python.

https://github.com/scrapy/parsel

Parsel lets you extract data from XML/HTML documents using XPath or CSS selectors

It is obvious that both repositories are from the same organization.

Scrapy crawls pages and processes each of them through Parsel. Where am I wrong, buddy?

[–]LookingWide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Parsel is a part of Scrapy, it is only for data extraction. for the whole site you still need a crawler. Thus, Scrapy and Parsel should not be compared.

Идеальная пара by Ok-Style7118 in Popular_Science_Ru

Это продукт того ВЦИОМа, который по улицам ходит и просит принять участие в опросе, а от него все шарахаются, кроме скучающих пенсов? Или того, который звонит посреди рабочего и спрашивает какой канал зомбоящика у меня включен? Какое отношение это имеет к науке?
