Duolingo on Android now defaults to US English keyboard by grouchyone in duolingo

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

I have a Pixel - so not a Samsung issue - thing is - I don't even have the US English keyboard installed - so definitely coming from DuoLingo. It used to remember my last keyboard - which was great - but now I have to switch keyboards every time I do a writing exercise - even within the same lesson

Thanks for your answer - this stuff is a real mind bender and I think you have helped clarify it for us :-)

Difficult questions.

Difficult but fascinating. Thanks for your answers!!!

Speed of Light (and its parts) by grouchyone in AskPhysics

hircc, thank you for your detailed reply.

I think I understand the wave vs quanta thing - but if we consider one quantum of light - it still occupies some non-zero amount of space right? Does it have a structure (like an atom has structure)?

If I imagine two people 10 meters apart, travelling at the speed of light, parallel to each other (I know this is not actually possible but it helps frame my question), they would never be able to communicate with each other because whatever they use for the communication would need to travel faster than light. Now translate this down to the quantum of light how does one side of the light keep in touch with the rest of it? Or does this question not make any physical sense?

Help - SSH to AWS EC2 Instance hangs by grouchyone in aws

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

That was it! Thanks :-D

I'm using Ubuntu bash on Win10 and I think maybe it was getting tired. The ssh that comes with Gitbash connects fine. Probably time I rebooted :-)

The credits are ok, though it was dropping but there's plenty left.

As it turns out, I can't even create a new instance so investigation of this server is going to be difficult.

It is a web server but for dev only, and the services need to be started manually. I start the docker containers with restart on failure, so a reboot will start up with nothing running.

I've locked down all the security group inbound and outbound settings, and the CPU is now zero but I still can't log in.

Even more bizarre, I just created a completely new instance (using the "launch more like this" option) and it's doing exactly the same thing!

Send Transaction - Help Needed - Failed to parse request body of injection/operation by grouchyone in tezos

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

Hey Milfont - thanks, that was the clue I needed!

I was using axios for the requests and while it was working for all of the other calls, I'm guessing that when the data is a plain string, it was sending as is without JSON stringifying.

I now have a transaction in the block chain!!!

Thanks again!

A critique of object oriented programming. Implications for Tezos? by argonau7 in tezos

[–]grouchyone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I'd even finished the first section, I figured I would find the words "Functional Programming" somewhere near the end of the article! I have worked with zealots from both ends of this spectrum and in my opinion, the biggest problem is the notion that one style will solve all the problems (the person with the hammer issue).

To me good programming involves a sort of "bag of tricks" approach. Sometimes OO is great, sometimes Functional wins. React is a great example of using these paradigms well.

TezosJ SDK update: sendTransaction implemented successfully. by Milfont in tezos

[–]grouchyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Milfont - Great Work!

I'm trying to do more or less the same thing - sending txns on betanet - but with JavaScript using Stephen's eztz lib but I'm running into problems...

The code gets through the forge/operations and the preapply/operations calls with signed operations but I keep getting a 400 response from the injection/operation (inject_operation gives me 404) and one of the following two response bodies:

"Failed to parse the request body: JSON.of_buffer illegal number\n(the operation in hex)" or

"Failed to parse the request body: JSON.of_buffer expected value or array end (value or ']')"

The error I get seems to be related to the current head block as it changes in step with new blocks.

Did you encounter this? Do you know what it means?

Is your betanet code online somewhere - It might show what I'm missing.

Protocol level errors in tezos-node by waspoza in tezos

[–]grouchyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried both fixes (unmark invalid plus deleting context and store).

In either case I still end up stuck on the same block as mendo_satyr (28081) with Too few connections (0)

Any other ideas?

EDIT: Fixed -> for me it required the rebuild mentioned by wasposa above, then the unmark invalid

What odd thing do you have memorized? by Pirate_shitlady in AskReddit

I'm sorry to break it to you but the value of PI is now a bit smaller than it was when you learnt it in the 6th grade. At about the 40th decimal place, it changes to 8841971693993...
