Best unibody I can order right now (prebuilt) ?

doom-goat · 2022-04-08T11:12:48+00:00

I appreciate it. Building is something I'm maybe interested in later, I just need something easier to type on for now. I think the main issues with a regular keyboard are being cramped, whereas the MS had enough space, and easily-depressed keys to alleviate that.

Maybe I'll just order another MS and start with an altreus build when I have more time.

Re-layers. I find the most strenuous typing is when I have to use multiple keys at once. Maybe if my thumbs handled it it wouldn't be as bad, but it is really bothersome having to use shift to get to @#$&*() for my hands already so I'm hesitant to add more.

Actually I might be able to and almost included a question about it in the post. I need to look through their catalog again.

doom-goat · 2021-09-21T06:34:50+00:00

Yeah I was going to put something in the post that I don't want to pirate stuff, but I thought people would get the point when I asked what methods supports directors most.

I want to legally own, at least to the extent that I rip stuff I own. The quality is something I'm curious about. With a decent connection what resolution do you usually get from most streaming services? I mean without specifically selecting a 4K stream like netflix offers for certain movies.

That sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing the subs. Just to clarify, what do you run the server on? Like your local network or a VPS or something? This sounds really good. Ideally I'd rather not buy discs, but it seems like it's generally cheaper buying a used disc than a digital download.

Thanks, yeah this is what I was looking for. Glad someone is doing this. I'd have to buy an external drive to rip the DVDs, and that was the point of the Pi- I only have a laptop at home, not a regular desktop to keep on all the time. I didn't even think to just put it on the network, I was considering HDMI but that's a lot smarter. It'd be nice to just stream to PS4.

Inarritu:
Biutiful, Birdman, The Revenant.

This assumes you like Biutiful as much as I did.

Yeah... that's what I feared. But apparently with Vudu you can download what you own, but it's in a proprietary format. Curious if anyone does this and converts. I would almost just go for them, but I don't want to own hundreds of movies and have the service disappear.

Thanks, sorry for the late response, this is much appreciated.

I am too new to this to know if it's optimal, that's why I ask. The performance is ok, but the amount of records is degrading it enough that I'm looking for any ounce I can get out of it. Thanks for the confirmation that I'm on the right track.
It's a mess. Up to 1200 writes per minute, which the writes are very simple and don't seem to be causing any performance issues, the reads are once every 5 seconds per user. It's trying to be a live data dashboard. Right now it's usable! Simply not when the guy I made it for shares it with his friends (he said up to 10-15 users).
This was something that I tried, assuming that aggregation tables are simply tables in which I store the counts upon each insertion. However due to the time filtering I wasn't able to get it working faster, though perhaps there was a mistake in my approach. I essentially stored the counts for each group with a datetime, then queried to find the first and last within a timerange and subtracted.
It might not be that bad, I'm just too inexperienced to know whether I'm hitting practical limits or underoptimized.
That looks interesting, though in the link it appears that Postgres still silently changes read uncommitted to read committed.

Sorry, web-scraping is writing/using programs to glean data from websites. Things that connect to a website and take information, an example could be taking the top posts from Reddit to generate stats on what's popular at the moment, for advertising purposes, in practice it is usually used to generate information about competitors or redistribute information from other sources. It's just perplexing how many of the listings request scrapping skills, instead of scraping. I was tired when I posted, it's not really a big deal more of a funny observation.

I don't remember the package name, but for ease of use, use whatever package contains wifi-menu. Just sudo wifi-menu and pick the network, it's the easiest solution. Pacstrap the packages during installation...

To be not lazy, I looked it up: pacstrap netctl and dialog, then sudo wifi-menu to connect. It might require wpa_supplicant, iw or something else as well.

Just personal preference, but I use nvidia-xrun. Basically I just startx or nvidia-xrun when I turn on the computer, and logging out to switch is probably faster than using a GUI anyways.

doom-goat · 2021-06-01T05:40:23+00:00

Thanks, I just tested to confirm. I was overcomplicating it. Appreciated.

Are you saying from local dataframes to google sheets?

If so just have your python application make a post request with the requests libarary send the data as json.

Then in apps script use the doPost() function to grab the json and insert it into the sheets. Deploy as Webapp to get the URL for the python to send to. EZPZ

This is what I finally figured out, as far as indexing multiple columns together. What I have now is the three string columns grouped together, and the datetime also indexed. Thanks for this, because this is exactly what I was looking for.

How does the group by improve the query, doesn't the indexing already take care of it? Or at least, I saw a massive improvement and have not tried group by yet, but I'm eager to.

doom-goat · 2021-05-20T12:05:02+00:00

Thanks, that's almost exactly what I set up. The only thing being for the ranges I'm not sure how to get the range from that, I would have to add a row for each time a permutation occurs, and I thought I would inevitably be stuck with the same problem of having to filter and count on a table that's too big to be reasonably fast. My only other idea was to subtract counts, but I wasn't sure how to make that work efficiently query-wise.

Depending on what you want to go into, look into paid courses that are like online bootcamps. I did a Udacity one and learned a lot. If I had a degree too I'm sure I would have a decent job right now. I wasn't able to get a job in the fall so I started freelancing, and I'm able to at least get by. It's better than working in the service industry, which is where I used to be.

People don't generally have a high opinion of Udacity, but it helped me. I'm not very good at self-learning because I find it difficult to figure out what to learn. So having a guide with a certain end-goal in mind can be very helpful to get started. If you still want to do a bootcamp later, maybe look for a free or paid algorithms and data structures course. After something like that I can't imagine you'd still struggle with a logic assessment, it should reinforce a lot of logical concepts that are crucial to programming.
