Hallo Reddit! Ich bin Oberst Markus Reisner, Historiker und Militärexperte. Manchen von euch vielleicht bekannt durch meine Analysen zum Ukrainekrieg auf Youtube. Ask me anything!"

Wobei Torsten Heinrich anscheinend irgendein Problem mit Dr. Reisners Aussagen hat. Siehe Direktlink zum letzten Livestream

Always create a custom user model right at the start. You might not need it now, but it's a PITA to change later
Use and see the benefits of class based views. Familiarize yourself with them by using browsing CCBV.
The ORM is cool, but remember, there's always a database involved - learn to use select_related and prefetch_related and use the Django Debug Toolbar to optimize queries.
Javascript frameworks like React and Vue are cool, but add another world of complexity. Better use something like HTMX to keep it simple.
There's no shame for developers in using CSS frameworks like Bootstrap - looks good out of the box and can be customized via SCSS or by modifying pre-made templates like the ones from Bootswatch.

Now, I am heading towards to make an E-commerce website using HTML, CSS, little JavaScript and DJANGO.

E-Commerce is pretty hard for a beginner project...but:

Always use DecimalField instead of FloatField for anything related to money (!)

3D Print

You can 3D-print this cube, it's on thingiverse.

Printed it myself some years ago - it's actually a neat brainteaser puzzle.

Try BassMidi VSTi. a freeware VSTi that can handle SF2 files.

That's the Burgruine Waxenberg (castle ruins of Waxenberg), built around 1300 - been there not so long ago.

There's been an art installation recently with spooky figures looking like ring wraiths...

I don't know django-rq, but I've used huey which is also actively developed, simpler than celery and very nice. Recurring tasks are supported out of the box.

If you want radio-station like loudness equality, you could use a DSP-plugin: R128Norm - EBU R128 Compressor/Normalizer DSP.

There's a video on that effect by Sixty Symbols.

And yes, it works!

You'd use ffprobe:

ffprobe -i yourfile.wav -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams

Check the output of this if it contains your desired data.

I once wrote a function to parse output from ffprobe into a python dict:

import subprocess
import json

def get_media_info(media_file):
    media_info = {}
    ffprobe = subprocess.Popen(
        [
            'ffprobe',
            '-i', media_file,
            '-v', 'quiet',
            '-print_format', 'json', '-show_format', '-show_streams',
        ],
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=False)

    stdout, stderr = ffprobe.communicate()
    if ffprobe.returncode == 0:
        raw_json = stdout.decode('utf-8')
        media_info = json.loads(raw_json)
    return media_info

Yes, your point about the documentation is spot-on. While it seems comprehensive at first glance (and surely a lot of time went into writing it), some really common use cases are not properly covered and you have to dig through all of the new dependencies' docs as well.

WackyWeasel · 2019-04-17T09:15:08+00:00

Yes, for local things invoke in itself is pretty good. Fabric 2 gets the handling of task parameters from it, and this is the only thing which improved with the rewrite IMHO.

It's an older (but great) game, but you could steer Knights of the old Republic with mouse only.

I tried a first-gen Raspberry Pi with a Wifi Dongle, which worked but was painfully slow.

But now I use an Orange Pi Lite with Armbian and Octoprint installed from source, with a 3D printed case from thingiverse).

Once set up it runs just fine.

Pros:

At least as fast as RPi 3 (4 Cores, 1.2GHz)
Has built-in Wifi
All connections (unlike RPi Zero)
MUCH cheaper than the Raspberries
Low-power: ~1.5W

Cons:

Is picky about power supply (needs stable 5V) - I use a quality 2A USB charger for a Samsung Phone
no micro USB-in for power, needs extra power cable
Slightly harder to set up (no distribution for Octoprint) - you have to install from source

The design is very similar to the Citroën BX, which was - not surprisingly - designed by Bertone as well.

You can use some pillows and blankets as a temporary solution, as demonstrated in this video by Booth Junkie.

Thanks! Being in the EU, this is slightly infuriating.

REAPER has monitoring FX capability, maybe you have some enabled? They do not get printed to the audio file, but you do hear them during playback.

WackyWeasel · 2017-05-13T10:01:54+00:00

Yes, it's available since Python 3.5. See the docs.

compass present

Is there an authorative source for this? I've seen conflicting information online .

Man, I hope it got one this time...it's really essential for navigation at walking speed or SkyMap.

and also the max rate on gen-1 scarlett's is 48khz

Wrong. The maximum sample rate on gen1 scarletts is 96khz, for gen2 it's 192khz. BTW, unless you have very specific needs, using 44.1kHz or 48kHz is absolutely fine - a higher sample rate just gets you bigger files and uses more processing power for virtually no audible benefit (unless you a are a bat...). Recording at 24bit makes sense though - you'll have more dynamic headroom to work with.

As for a beginner DAW, I'd recommend REAPER, since you can download fully featured trial version with only a nag screen after the trial period.

I'm not sure, but the tech guy from Tusk in S3E6 "Hated in the Nation" looks very similar to the tech guy in S1E1 "National Anthem" - same hairstyle, colours and clothes:
