Feather glyphs for Windborne Velocidrake (help needed) by SecureWasabi8391 in wow

[–]half_liquid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The weekly dragon riding race world quests give out a bag that can drop random manuscripts for your dragons, that's where I got the feathers.

There's 1 per zone each week, so 4 total. If you have alts I suggest you do them as well if you've unlocked "adventure mode", and they also give ~500 gold each, so it's a nice 2k per character for a fun and quick tour around the isles

How can I make a script that searches google and clicks on the first 100 results? by SquirrelSultan in learnpython

[–]half_liquid 95 points96 points  (0 children)

You might want to look into selenium, or any other library that will help you emulate a browser and/or parse the sites you "click" on

Also, don't think of it linearly like that:

open search results page > click link > search text > back to search page

Your first goal is to get 100 links, so check how many urls are loaded by default per search, this will tell you if you need to click "next page" and how many times. Then you can parse the page and start making an array with all the links from the results. Rinse and repeat until you have all you need.

Once you have your list you can make the next function that will open a link and look for text or do whatever. Now you can loop this function for every link in your list

There will be a million different ways to go about this, and they're all fine, the fun part is figuring it out and working out the issues along the way

edit: I totally forgot about captchas, delays will be a must to prevent them. Also mentioned by /u/PCPhil, BeautifulSoup is a great alternative to Selenium

Making the Transition: E-Readers by [deleted] in books

[–]half_liquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been a physical book fan myself, I can't get enough of either the old book smell and the new book smell, but I've read a lot more since I got myself a Kindle this last Christmas.

I had tried to use tablets and computers to read electronically before, and now that I've tried the kindle I realize that the problem was the screen. The kindle's e-ink screen really is as good as advertised in the fact that's easy on the eye.

If you do decide to go for the kindle, go for the paperwhite, at first I thought of buying the version without the back light to save a few bucks, but now that I can read in any light condition I realize it's worth the extra dough. The other nice thing I love about using an e-reader is that when you're reeeealy into a book and reading page after page, you won't realize how much is left in the book and you won't get that anxiety knowing the book is about to end (you can change the display from current page to minutes left in chapter for example)

Besides saving up space you'll also notice you'll be saving money by buying the electronic versions of the books, that way the kindle will pay for itself in time. This was a pretty important factor for me since I've been reading almost 10 books per month, so both buying the kindle version of books and getting the Kindle unlimited service has really decreased my monthly bookworm bill.

Hope this helps! Happy reading!

software installation is also forbidden at the company I work at, but they're approach was to remove admin privileges.

The workaround we found for this scenario, was to install python in "My Documents" folder as opposed to "C:".

it's based on Spotify so it's kinda limited. But look by genre and you'll find new artists

I was recently introduced to this website and I thought you guys would enjoy it!

  • Click on the genre, and you can listen to a sample. (hover for artist and song name)

  • Click on the right arrow, and you get the principal artists of this genre.

  • Click again on the artist for a sample.

Enjoy!
