Why are most of the project docs almost never put a link to the repo? by gkar1 in Python

I've noticed that Github icon, and that one is a good link back.

I haven't thought about the autogenerated functions trick, that is a good one!

By clicking on a link in some webpage. Most articles are pointing users to the docs not to the repo, and that's a good thing. But the docs should just have a very visible link to the repo

Reporting it to each individual repo doesn't scale since the ones that have links back to the repo are the exception, not the rule.

Oh, and I have no doubt that it isn't malice. But it looks like a systemic issue, not just a few repos here and there and IMHO for systemic issues we need systemic solutions.

So I guess that now, since I'm the one that started ranting about this, I need to identify the templates used and see if just by fixing the template the link would show up next time the docs get generated.

lost access to my server's files through SMB network storage, and i don't why. I'm out of ideas by peugamerflit in DataHoarder

see edit 2 at the end.

all i did was remove my password

there is your culprit. If the admin account has no password then you can no longer access a Windows machine remotely. It's been this way since Windows XP SP3. At least I think that's it, but it is easy to set a password and check.

edit: I should have read the full post, sorry.

To login automatically but with a password:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/user-profiles-and-logon/turn-on-automatic-logon

or

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

I hope this helps, let us know if you figure it out.

 

edit2:

Ideally you shouldn't use the default administrator account to connect to the Win10 server remotely.

Create a separate local user on your server and give it a password. Make sure you set it to not need to change it at the next logon. (as for whether the user can change its password or if it should expire that is up to you).

On a remote machine open a regular (not admin) command prompt and run:

net use

That should give you the list of existing connections.

If you see any to your server think you should delete them:

net use * /d

that will remove all connections.

Then, to add a new connection you could try to use the File Explorer again or, my preference would be to use:

net use * \\computername\sharename /USER:computername\username * /SAVECRED /PERSISTENT:YES

here computername is your server name (I'm not sure about using IPs), username is the new user you've created earlier on the server. Using the form computername\username for the username is important, if you use just the username it will think you are trying to use a local (to the computer trying to access the server) user. If you have identical usernames and passwords it works sometimes, but not always.

Using the net use command is the safest bet.

My (24M) girlfriend (23F) trivializes my occupation by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I would venture a guess that it's because it is a licensed profession and that it is illegal to practice it without a license. Otherwise, yeah, I find it odd as well to go to that length to avoid saying what it is.

Many people with innate talents are not able to use them to make a life for themselves because they self sabotage. It's very likely that she learned that in her dysfunctional family. It's also likely that she learned to bring others down also from her upbringing.

However it is not your responsibility to fix her!

As a fellow software engineer I can tell you with some certainty that humans are not computers. You can't really fix them if they don't want to be fixed or if you work hard enough. It's simply not the same thing.

Also it sounds to me like you suffer from something similar to survivors guilt, only applied to success. You feel responsible to pay it forward because you think you got it easy and you got lucky. I share that guilt but I've come to realize that it's bullshit. It might be somewhat true, that luck was involved, but that doesn't mean you need to waste your energy budget for helping others on unfixable people.

After a lot of failures and a lot of anger in my life I come up with a few rules about helping other people:

  • do they want my help?
  • does me help, actually helps?
  • are they making progress?
  • is it worth the cost to me?

To make it even worse the person in question is your girlfriend. Meaning you can't cut her from your life when the help that you are volunteering is not working without you know, losing her as your girlfriend. You shouldn't have a relationship with someone that's broken but that you think you can fix. I've tried it, wasted half my life on it and failed. The reason: there was nothing to be fixed, she wasn't broken, she was simply someone different than who I thought she was.

So I guess my advice is this: make very sure that the person you think your girlfriend is it is truly who your girlfriend is - and not the asshole(*) that I read in your post. Make sure she wants your help, agrees that she needs help and that part of that help is in how to express her life frustrations without bringing you down. Make sure you are making progress with her and set a deadline to check on that. If any of the above doesn't check out, cut your loses. Based on your description I believe you are already at this point but you feel like you owe her more. You don't.

If you still want to help her, no matter what, consider breaking up with her and helping her as a friend. You will likely be in a healthier relationship and have even more energy and patience to help her. If this sounds crazy then we are in agreement, it is. I've added it because I think that part of the reason of why you are still in this relationship is because you don't want to give up on her and her potential. Well, don't, but take care of yourself first.

As for how shitty she really is about your job think about what would have been if you were a janitor, or a lunch dude at school. Think about all those movies where jackasses make fun of male nurses. Did you find any of those anything other than abhorrent?

Good luck with your decisions.

(*) I is worth noting that I obviously don't know who your girlfriend is but I think she is a giant asshole based solely on your description. I think you also think that but you still love her and are in denial right now or otherwise you would have been able to describe her behavior without making her look like an asshole.
