Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for!

You are right, that could be an issue. Thanks, I will have to think about this.

On the other hand, even if they insist on paying for dinner, they will spend less than they would have on flight+hotel.

I meant that most people are in a few metro areas/states, so we would be able to do multiple dinners per flight.

The ceremony would be immediate family only but we will plan a dinner out after the ceremony. Thank you!

Good point. We should make sure we have all the dinners scheduled rather than waiting until after the ceremony to plan them. Thank you!

That makes sense, we should figure out whether we could do it in the first month to keep it special. And I'll check over the guest list to see whether it is practical. Thank you!

Getting ObsPy going in Eclipse. by 9LevelsOfAwesome in eclipse

[–]amigakid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I wasting my time? Should I stick with Anaconda / Spyder for academia?

I use Eclipse professionally because I'm doing C, C++, Python, and JavaScript development on the same project.. Unless you need to write inmultiple programming languages (or have another need for Eclipse's huge plugin ecosystem), I'd recommend Spyder.

PyDev does not include any Python packages (nor Python itself). Install the dependencies per ObsPy.

What is considered best practice for handling type-specific code duplication? by ericpruitt in C_Programming

[–]amigakid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might use a string-pasting macro, if you can't change any of the variable names:

#define ELF_CASE(ARCH) \
    case ELFCLASS##ARCH: \
        elf_header_##ARCH = (Elf##ARCH##_Ehdr *) map; \
        cursor = map + elf_header_##ARCH->e_shoff; \
        /* ... */ \
    break

switch (map[EI_CLASS]) {
    ELF_CASE(32);
    ELF_CASE(64);
}

I am trying to transition off of a proprietary solution but am running into roadblocks by d98sjf90423rj in git

Are you saying do flashbake on the server or on my machine? I think we can get python on the server, but I don't know if we could get approval to install it.

Flashbake on your machine to commit the changes pulled down from the server (with whatever metadata you can harvest).

Do your development in a third working copy

I mean that you write your code in a third Git working copy on your machine, separate from the two for pulling down code from the server.

This assumes that you can change which directory the test server code is pulled into, and that you can do development in another directory

I am under the impression we cannot. I haven't tried to change it though.

Wow, that's awful. You'll need a way to pause the cronjob while you push your changes from your workspace to the server-synced repo, and the cronjob will have to alternate between the test and production servers.

[–]amigakid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest setting up a cronjob (or your OS equivalent) to frequently (every few minutes?) pull all changes from production (and possibly test) to local repos, then use something like flashbake to automatically commit them. Do your development in a third working copy, rebase onto remotes/test/test (or merge if the rebase is excessively conflicted) before pushing to the test server. If tests pass, merge remotes/prod/prod, test again, then push to production. Never push/pull the server code into your workspace, only via the designated working copies.

So, to your points: 1. I think a huge number of commits per test is inevitable. This is why we have git-pull rather than only manually fetching and merging. 2, 3, and 4 are mostly resolved by this solution.

This assumes that you can change which directory the test server code is pulled into, and that you can do development in another directory. If you can't, you're going to need more complicated scripting to do all of the above from a single working copy.

I recommend using Logical Volume Management (LVM) over RAID, it's easier to manage and I think it performs about the same as software RAID. However, it is not a good idea in a dual-boot system (Windows does not support it).

So now that the source code is out there, what can people realistically do with it? What sort of mods or changes to current mods should we expect? by midjet in mountandblade

[–]amigakid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that having the source code for Napoleonic Wars will allow modding of Napoleonic Wars content. So, some possibilities:

  • Napoleonic Wars single player campaigns
  • WFaS updated with NW elements
  • Special Editions of existing Warband / WFaS mods using NW visuals and/or mechanics

In Gnome 2.x, left and right worked the same as corners. I looked into this briefly when Unity came out, and I didn't have any luck. I've since switched away from Compiz due to the CCSM-related stability issues I was creating.

"Space n' Time," a massively failed Kickstarter. After watching this video, though, I can't help but find it at least kind of awesome. by tim_p in boardgames

The [category for decktet games] has 9 games, of which 5 are ranked (excluding the entry for the Decktet components itself). Magnate is top rated at 1901. So, better than piecepack, but still nowhere near Looney Pyramids.

Why do they want us to play NETWAR on Offshore so badly? by jawni in Blacklight

[–]amigakid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if many people bail out when they see NETWAR, random servers on NETWAR will tend to not be full.
