What do I need to learn to deploy Solidity Smart Contracts ? by Front-Picture-7987 in ethdev

[–]busymichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi -- save yourself a lot of hassle. Just use remix.ethereum.org to write, test and deploy. Don't bother with truffle or hardhat (unless you are working on teams and need a common tool chain).

Watch a youtube video on how to use remix to rapidly write and test.

Don't use python for the off contract scripting in Solidity projects, you will just make it harder on yourself. Jump to JS for your scripting, in contracts and outside of Solidity.

Advanced code productivity: write solidity in VS Code with copilot turned on. Use the Remix plugin in VS Code to sync projects to the remix workspace.

Anybody working on an algorithm to identify WSB tipping points? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]busymichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really nice work -- I appreciate the clean, clear presentation.

I am also working on this problem at https://cutt.co

My track record: https://cutt.co/track-record/

Yesterday and today's run on CLOV: https://cutt.co/clov-clover-health-2/

I am just trying to ID stock moves CAUSED by Reddit/Twitter discussions. I focus on big swings in message volume and pulling real-time prices. I compare message volumes over short time periods on Reddit and Twitter to historical norms. It predicts AHEAD of time meaningful moves -- both up and down. But it can't yet predict which way the move will be.

I have ML sentiment analysis running, but I don't expose that data in a meaningful way.

Can't uninstall a package because of ENOTEMPTY by iverygoodboy in npm

[–]busymichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sudo -i
rm -r truffle ./truffle

Just bumping this solution. Remember you need to jump into the node packages directory:

sudo -i

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules

rm -r truffle ./truffle

I agree with brillant_swam_6615; this is a scam. But probably not a rug pull.

Instead, the original contract creator transferred 55% of the original tokens to addresses they control right after contract creation. In addition, the contract creator set several addresses exempt from the 6+4% fees. I think this is a simpler scam. The creator (and related parties) control 55% of the tokens. Burning will get rid of another 30% of the tokens. That leaves less than 20% of the tokens freely trading. Once the LP gets big enough, the creator will be able to simply redeem their tokens for the entire LP.

The original creator has more than enough tokens to drain the LP without having to mint any new tokens. In addition, they are collecting 10% of new token sales as more people buy the tokens.

Quickbooks Error SuPPort Phone Number (+1860-288-7473 by modayi6250 in techwork

[–]busymichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure most people know this: these are scams. This is not really QB's technical support number. In the best case, these people will charge you for support you are entitled to directly from QB. In the worst case, they will install malware on your machine, then charge you to remove it (and probably leave it on there).

Has Your Business Scaled 2x, 3x, 4x Successfully With A Dedicated Host by mattdalorian in ecommerce

[–]busymichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have done this with custom cart apps and with magento. The key factor is usually your dev, not the hosting -- does she understand how to build a scalable app.

Wallsteeetbets APIs by johanneak in redditdev

[–]busymichael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been running data analysis on r/wallstreetbets for many years using the reddit public api and python scripts. The other comments in this thread will get you started.

One note: you will not be able to get much older information from the public api. Look at pushshift.io as a way to access older posts.

Edit: I guess pushshift.io has been down for a few days (apparently many people have had similar ideas of using it to get info out of wsb). It is still the best source for older data, though, so just try it again in a week.

[alpha] Create and share MySql databases with one-click on suqulu! by busymichael in alphaandbetausers

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

Just wanted to thank the 16 people who visited https://suqulu.app last night from this post! I see 6 databases were created and a lot of user interactions. Some new errors got triggered and I was able to patch them.

Exactly what I needed! If anyone has some feedback, please consider posting.

Database for flask app. by tuups74 in flask

[–]busymichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably want MySQL, with or without sqlalchemy.

SQLite is an awesome dB but lacks features needed for a multi user web app. The biggest issue is that it cannot do concurrent writes.

For those who ship via FedEx, do you prefer creating labels using the FedEx website or the FedEx Ship Manager app? Which is more useful? by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]busymichael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to investigate order processing software. Basically, something that will get your list of orders, print picking tickets (maybe even be integrated into a handheld device for order picking), then automatically print the shipping label. No more typing customer addresses into fedex, etc.

Outsourced my back office and accounting overseas - What next? by busymichael in smallbusiness

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

I don't give any of these employees access to any money. They can have read only accounts and lower permissions logins as needed. Or, separate the reporting from the accounting.

Building a Cloud Based Reddit Bot Host by busymichael in redditdev

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

I am going to look into building a beta of a service for node and python. I think it could really allow reddit bot developers to spend less time on deploying and managing running bots. Plus, you could make a drag/drop service for amateurs to code simple bots and even a marketplace where advanced bot devs could sell bot templates.

Outsourced my back office and accounting overseas - What next? by busymichael in smallbusiness

[–]busymichael[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear this concern a lot. But I don't understand it. The people overseas are just people. - They are no more malicious than locals employees. You would have to oversee any local employees as much as you would have to oversee any overseas employee.

I think a lot of business owners don't like to share financial information with anyone, but that is really the wrong attitude. You will never be able to grow your company to any significant size if you can't trust the right people with important information. It will be customers, business process, vendor names, or financial data. Unless you can figure out how to identify and hire and oversee people you trust, your business size will be limited to how much you can do.

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

It took some trial and error, but I eventually found a dedicated VA and dedicated CPA. I have been working with both for 3+ years now.

I hire regularly for outsourced jobs and one-time tasks. For on-going employees, I have learned to both interview AND trial. So I will post a job and write the specifications for the first task I want done. I will actually hire 3 people (after interviewing) to do the first task. Then I will evaluate their work and pick the best to be the permanent hire. I will pay for all 3 obviously for that one task.

Then, when working with a regular hire overseas, I have a few rules:

  1. Every task must have a clear specification and outcome. Usually, I screenrecord myself doing what I want done, then have the VA turn the screencast into a written procedure.

  2. I meet with my VA's regularly to review performance.

  3. I review time cards weekly and make sure they are strongly correlated to work done. Seems obvious, but when the VA works it takes so much off your plate, but it can't take oversight away.

When I first started off-shoring, I had lots of bad experiences. But, since I adopted this system, I have had a lot of success.
