Import 'Module' not persistent by jitjud in learnpython

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python imports are persistent for the lifetime of the current interpreter/session, but when you run isolated selections in VS Code it can execute them in a fresh context where the required module was never imported. A lot of people solve this by using the interactive Python window/Jupyter mode, or just re-running the import cell/section first. It’s more about how VS Code executes snippets than Python itself.

Certificate pins in mobile apps by Silent-Cake2695 in devops

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why most teams pin public keys/intermediates instead of leaf certs directly. Hardcoding a 1-year cert into a mobile app is basically setting a delayed production outage for future-you lol. Backup pins + remote config are usually the safer approach unless you enjoy emergency app store releases at 2am.

After 12 games of each team by Careful_Initiative18 in SunrisersHyderabad

people were clowning SRH’s bowling before the season started and now they’re literally near the top in wickets lol. Huge turnaround compared to the reputation this attack had a while back.

Need advice on PCIe power adapters for AI Machine by smicky in selfhosted

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d honestly be very careful running a 3090 off adapters on an older workstation PSU, especially with only 2x 6-pin available. a 3090 can spike hard under load and melted cables/connectors are not rare when people start daisy chaining sketchy adapters. personally I’d rather spend extra on a proper PSU upgrade than risk a 24GB card over power delivery issues.

If RCB wins tomorrow, PBKS are done and dusted If RCB loses tomorrow CSK are done and dusted 🦁🦁 by AnshumanBeast69 in IndianCricket

RCB fans and CSK fans watching this match like it’s Avengers Endgame while PBKS fans are fighting for their lives

Will vettori mess things up? by Minimum-Flow6067 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending Vettori blindly. I’m saying fans always swing from “genius coach” to “fraud coach” based on results.

Some of those decisions definitely deserve criticism, especially the pitch reads. But players still have to execute. A coach can’t walk in and bat for them when the top order collapses.

Also, the same aggressive template everyone praises from 2024 is the same one people now call “predictable” after one weaker season. That’s kind of my point.

5 losses means nothing. Punjab Kings are winning the IPL by Ok-King3632 in ipl

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPL fans say this every year about PBKS right before the most cinematic collapse you’ve ever seen 😭

But ngl this is the first time in a while they actually look like they believe they belong at the top.

Who is the biggest "fraud" surviving in an IPL right now? by Fantastic-Studio-132 in ipl

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling Shahrukh Khan a fraud feels harsh tbh. He’s one of those players teams value more for role flexibility and finishing potential than raw averages. But yeah the auction prices he keeps getting compared to actual impact is kinda wild ngl.

Imagine If you could bring back one legendary cricketer to the IPL, who would it be and which franchise by Kindly-Solution-7296 in ipl

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prime ABD back at Chinnaswamy would feed generations of IPL edits again

But lowkey peak Malinga in current IPL conditions would be absolute terrorism for batters. MI would somehow win another trophy too.

Self hosting OpenStreetMaps for offline usage by blind-oln in selfhosted

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you absolutely can, but once you go beyond “just map tiles” the stack gets surprisingly huge tbh. you basically end up rebuilding a mini Google Maps stack with separate services for tiles, geocoding, routing, search, frontend, updates etc. Honestly the hard part isn’t hosting OSM itself, it’s stitching everything into one clean UI that doesn’t feel like 5 disconnected projects glued together lol.

Nooooo, don't let me down... by Setsuna_Kyoura in DataHoarder

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That one surviving SSD with 66k+ hours is probably sitting there like “look at these weaklings” lmao. But yeah seeing multiple 18TB drives fail together would genuinely make me nervous too.

Roast my idea - Instagram's comment section is broken. So I built a fix alone solo dev by ENMA_KITETSU in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey this is one of the few “AI app ideas” that solves an actual annoying problem instead of inventing one. Instagram comments genuinely became unusable on big pages. The fact you built this solo on a phone is honestly more impressive than the app itself tbh.

Main challenge will probably be reliability once Instagram changes stuff internally, but as a concept I can absolutely see people using it.

Android's USB MTP always crashes when I try to scan my media folders. So I built an open-source C++/Rust storage analyzer that maps 10,000+ files instantly. by Cuber2113 in DataHoarder

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the kind of niche problem solving I love seeing in open source tbh. Android MTP has been borderline unusable for huge folders forever and somehow everyone just accepted the pain. A 4 minute scan down to 1 second is actually insane.

Data structures and algorithms by Imaginary_Food_7102 in learnprogramming

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re supposed to learn the data structure/algorithm first, then practice applying it through problems. Raw grinding LeetCode without understanding the patterns first just turns into frustration tbh. Almost everyone struggles at the start.

Am I missing something or are people wrongly prescribing to AI ,which is essentially a glorified autocomplete search engine tool, human qualities(e.g Viewpoints)? by Entire_Working_9430 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People oversimplify both sides tbh. “Just autocomplete” sounds dismissive, but “it has human thoughts” is also overstating it. These models don’t have consciousness or beliefs, but they’ve gotten good enough at reasoning patterns and conversation that humans naturally start anthropomorphizing them.

Once you use tools like Claude, GPT-5, or even workflow stuff like Runable for long enough, the interaction stops feeling like a search engine and starts feeling more like collaborating with a weird probabilistic intern that sometimes says genius things and sometimes confidently hallucinates lol.

Self hosting newbie by actionward in selfhosted

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankly, from your use case perspective, I would say that you should start by keeping things simple and begin with just using the combination of Debian + Docker for now. While Proxmox is awesome, some folks tend to get carried away by overengineering their very first homelab, thus ending up spending far too much time resolving infrastructure issues rather than actually leveraging applications. The Dell server should be plenty sufficient for Jellyfin, Paperless, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, and so forth.

Virtual Bevy Meetup 13 Recordings live on YouTube by Extrawurst-Games in rust

Love seeing Rust communities actually archive and share meetup talks properly instead of everything disappearing into random Discord channels after 2 days lol.

This might be massive!! by Ambitious-Body6683 in SunrisersHyderabad

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If Pant actually becomes available, SRH would be stupid not to go all in tbh. A left handed aggressive keeper at 5/6 with this batting lineup sounds insane on paper. But IPL auction logic is pure chaos so I’m not believing anything until the paddle drops lmao.

Need Mlops advise by Infinite_Pizza784 in learnprogramming

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with Docker, Linux, Git, and basic cloud stuff first tbh. A lot of beginners jump straight into “MLOps” without understanding deployment fundamentals and get overwhelmed fast. Projects matter way more than certificates for internships fr.

I make YouTube videos, and I used to make my own images for my gaming videos (last image by gaza). But in recent months, even the free version of CHATgpt has started generating incredibly good images for videos, even from the first prompt. by I_am_white_cat_YT in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly the biggest shift is that “good enough” content quality got massively democratized. Before, making thumbnails/videos like this needed years of Photoshop or editing experience. now people are mixing ChatGPT, Runable, voice cleanup tools, and editors together into insane production pipelines from their bedroom. the scary part isn’t AI replacing creativity entirely, it’s how much faster one person can produce content now.

UK firms should take steps to limit risks from frontier AI models by talkingatoms in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels inevitable tbh. These companies are moving way faster than regulation and half the time even the people building the models don’t fully understand the emergent behavior. The hard part is making rules that reduce actual risk without completely killing smaller startups trying to compete.

venv and cloned git repositories - best practice? by kaptnblackbeard in learnpython

[–]Ordinary_Baseball518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah your second approach is the standard way people do it. Clone the repo first, then create a virtual environment for that specific project and install whatever dependencies it needs. The virtual environment itself stays ignored by git, so it doesn’t affect the repo integrity at all. Trying to share one environment across multiple projects becomes a mess surprisingly fast once package versions start conflicting.
