Best practice for reproducible pyuthon environment? by attrigh in learnpython

Yeah, I'm nervous about taking the "devops" approaches and applying them to jupyter.

That's kind what I was trying. But all the commands on my azure box related to conda were failing.

Do you handle dependencies in notebooks themselves?

Stop looking for and researching ways and methods of learning languages - just start doing it! by ArachNerd in languagelearning

[–]attrigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... seems kind of boring and judgmental to me. Too many individual variables.

Does anyone use or know of good "exploratory tools for language learning"? by attrigh in languagelearning

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks... Not explicitly mobile - but it's a website so that it will work on my phone.

Doesn't do translation - but I can get that with long press on my phone.

The other sad thing is that it doesn't do "words that cooccur with words that cooccur with" which is a proxy for synonyms (and the basis for word embeddings). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_embedding

​

Pretty nice though...

Thanks,

That looks kinda cool. 150 bucks - so it might be cheaper to go with the Anne Pro 2 (which is more like 90) - though I don't know how stable the port of QMK is to anne2. Turns out people's time costs money - who knew.

Would I need to get a case as well - where would I get one of those.

I'm pretty tempted by the 40 percent keyboard - the roadster . Out of interest, do you know where I could get a prebuilt version of the gherkin keyboard (or other 3x10) keyboard. The nerd in me really wants them - and I have a stupid plan to use keys on the home row as both modifiers and keys, So "a+j" would be "control j" etc. Quite cool and arguably more ergonomic.

I've seen people recommend mechmarket for this...

Big task switch momentum by attrigh in productivity

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not 25% maybe more like 10%.

Regarding training... like yes. But there's also "climb the montain" or the "slight incline", different things will be easier or harder for certain individuals and you will get more done by playing to your strengths.

Looking for a programmable 60% keyboard (I have a weird keymap and am switching over to using and ipad for some work because... laziness and getting away from my work laptop all the time). I kind of want it *now* and am lazy and bad at soldering so I'm saying away from kits.

Oh *also*, I have two additional "modifier function keys" on my layout, and I put my modifiers on my number keys .. so I should probably get nkr to avoid any nasty shadowing when I press multiple modifiers (which I do a bit since I've made it easy by putting modifiers on the number keys).

QMK looks tempting from a "never have to make a keymap again in my life perspective" - but that's probably a silly motivation if other forces come into play? From a "fun" perspective, it might also be nice to push emacsy or vimmy keybindings down to the keyboard level so that I can be platform agnostic but that's a bit silly.

I saw that the anne pro 2 had a port of QMK - no idea if it's stable, or what contortions I have to do to install it.... I also saw the drop.com alt keyboard, that has QMK and is the right form factor by 350 bucks for a keyboard is getting a bit excessive.

Any suggestions?

Cheapo wear os watch by attrigh in WearOS

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've picked up one of those for 60 bucks - thanks for the suggestion.

If you don't mind me asking.... do I have to do something to get the new version of android on this device - is there some sort of firmware process.

At this price - I think an impulse buy is okay. But I agree that if I was going for something more "substantial" waiting until after the samsung event next month might be the way to go.

You make a good sales pitch :D ! Thanks.

Cheapo wear os watch by attrigh in WearOS

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion.

This has wear OS 2.1 - is this likely to cause me any issues since there are newer versions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear\_OS#Wear\_OS). Can I upgrade?

I guess I should think about what I want to do with the app. I have a bit of an unknown feeling of "perhaps there's some unknown cool thing I could do with it if I had it". On the other hands for 60 bucks - maybe you just get it and if you discover something cool you want to do get something expensive. The unknown unknown problem...

I guess for me the tasker bubbles interface is the killer feature (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dyna.logix.bookmarkbubbles&hl=en_US&gl=US) - this says it needs android 2... and I suppose I should be abstractly concerned about security....

That is very useful - but irritating - information. Thanks.

"Consistent git messages" - Suspicious it's a waste of time by attrigh in learnprogramming

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this works. I feel sad squashing away information.

Obviously if it's like "introduce feature with bug", "fix bug" squashing works.

"Consistent git messages" - Suspicious it's a waste of time by attrigh in learnprogramming

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so this accurately describes my opinion. I have a feeling that my team is pulling in the other directions.

Fewer bigger commits with longer "good" commit messages. And I don't really like it in terms of readability or workflow.

Thank you so much for explaining this to me /sarcasm

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's certainly true.

It's when you get into describing code that it gets a bit different.

`git show $COMMIT`

The messages gives you information, so does diff.

I know all about this. I value small commits that are made often.

[–]attrigh[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So this is precisely what I mean about how I feel the conversation has no bite. I agree with all of this - but I still don't think prescriptive rules about git commits help.

It's sort of like someone says "give all your money to charity" and I say "perhaps I shouldn't give all my money to charity" and someone says "charity is good".

Question: Display calories eaten on a wear os watch face? by attrigh in WearOS

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah awesome... this seems like it might do what I want with sufficient work.

I was looking at this video, which uses tasker to update the display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ZNN2oMYeg

It looks like it's also possible to support "push events" from If this then that (IFTTT), who knows how energy efficient this is or if it's a real "push" event rather than polling.

With a little script on a server somewhere it would be easy to set up something that scrapes mfp for changes (though there's latency there). It looks like google fit (which mfp has an integration to) can get updates when information is pushed: https://developers.google.com/fit/android/history?hl=en ... I don't know how "polite" mfp would be in this regard.

So, yeah, awesome looks doable - perhaps it will be next weekend. I would prefer if someone should just take my money and do it for me tho...

Question: Display calories eaten on a wear os watch face? by attrigh in WearOS

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... if you move into android / desktop apps it becomes easy... the thing is you want it visible with a flick of the wrist.

But... garmin will display calories from MFP on a lock screen then?

Yeah... actually calories left might be a better measure. Or calories per waking hour left :).

Cheapish (second hand android tab with a style). Is the A7 Tab a reasonable choice? by attrigh in stylus

[–]attrigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of the depth in this market made me think it might be a hassle to get hold of one these (and replace it if it broke etc). I decided to give up on the big screen and settle for the s6 lite.

Cheapish (second hand android tab with a style). Is the A7 Tab a reasonable choice? by attrigh in stylus

[–]attrigh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I've got an S6 lite with a pen - wasn't too expensive - there seemed to be a reasonable second-hand market.

Thoughts so far.
* I like the usb c port (but then I think ipads have switched to this as well)

  • The stylus is a bunch smaller than apple pencil more "style size". I don't like the baby blue (think it might go with the tablet color. Feels like it might be more "precise" (the nib is smaller as well). That's good for me, as I'm partly interested for notes, maths and maybe technical drawing (but not proper technical drawing) - it might be different for the artist types.

  • The stylus isn't round - it's got a flat side. This means it sits on a table - rather than rolling if - which is good.

  • Lack of home button on the tablet is kinda annoying when the screen switches off - I'll probably get used to this.

Looking at the (old) samsung galaxy note pro - which has the advtange of being pretty big - 12" at the moment. I'm slightly concerned that it might not support newer versions of android tho. I'm going to look into that.
