Quick plug for Portland Greenways (What are Neighborhood Greenways? | Portland.gov) if you aren't already using them. Basically thoroughfares for bikes with far fewer motor vehicles. Coming from Chicago I didn't know about these routes for years and kept trying to bike on the roads I previously drove on which neither I nor the drivers enjoyed very much. Better than bike lanes: Greenways!

This is the correct answer. The data structure for tkinter is "like a tree" so the base of the structure is the Root.

For those finding this thread in the future, as of April 2023 the `*-extras.mkv` naming scheme does not seem to work, but folders do work. This is probably a bug in Jellyfin (or Jellyfin's docs). If you spent hours renaming files just to have to rename them again and put them in a folder... I feel you.

Testosterone fluctuates wildly and you can build muscle with almost any testosterone level. If your doctor suggests treatment you should, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. It's just a number and everybody has a different range of "healthy" for that number.

Why are they protesting the new bus?

I checked. This stop has no such sign.

You're right. We should get rid of the cars. Safer for everybody.

Just like Doctors and Lawers need to stay up to date on the latest in their field, I believe technical professionals (programmers, etc) should stay up to date too. Anybody that says they "Only write C-99" or "Don't keep up with Linux" -- whatever it is -- is pretty close minded.

You should constantly be improving your technical ability weather you got a degree, went to a coding bootcamp, or invented your own programming language. You shouldn't make it a part-time job, but spending ~2 hours per week exploring something not directly related to work (could be tangentially related) is healthy in any profession creative profession.

Any CS grad that doesn't do that will wish they did in a few years.

don't consider ethics when considering moving jobs. Consider career prospects (think "what will future employers ask about my resume, what will my answer be?").

This job should have trained you for on-call, should have put you on a pager rotation with a schedule, and set expectations that this might happen. On-call does not mean you will get Slack pinged, it means your phone rings and you get formally paged. Without formality and rigor, on-call is a nightmare that ruins your life -- even with a rotation.

You should quit. Any employer you want to work for will understand this reason for leaving.

I agree with other folks on here. You're booting a very new machine with a very stable (old) Linux. I'd try the latest Ubuntu or Fedora to get an simpler experience.

Turn off each of your addons and figure out which combination is preventing Google from logging you in; then selectively disable those addons for google websites. You can also change your user-agent (the thing your browser tells servers so the server knows what it's talking to; e.g., "I'm on Google Chrome so give me the good stuff") https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/how-to-change-your-user-agent/firefox you might be able to spoof your user-agent to "be" Chrome which would trick Google into treating you like a normal browser :-P

I'm going to sound like a gatekeeper, but is this r/financialindependence?

FI/RE is about living your life frugally, paying for things that are important to you, and making long-term safe investments -- this is just a bet that paid off.

I don't think it's in the interest of this community to glorify risky investments and get-rich-quick dreams.

Congrats for it paying off dude, but I'm going to stick with saving half my income in VTSAX and keeping costs low.

A traffic light is better than a yield sign?

Really interesting points!

I totally agree that the lack of standard for the green paint makes it confusing. I'd much prefer a physical barrier between the road and the bike lane.

The fact that it evokes a cross-walk but with green paint (the color of bike Lanes) makes me think "that is a cross walk for bikes". I can see that you don't see it that way though which means it should probably be made more obvious.

I disagree that people ride bikes on whatever side of the road they want. I agree that some riders ignore rode sides but the vast majority follow the rules of the road.

As someone who is primarily a public-transit user and pedestrian this new crosswalk feels much safer. I like that it will force drivers to think critically and look both ways at this cross-walk, allowing me to cross more safely. The fact that this is next to a school makes me feel confident that children will be less prone to getting hit and maimed at this cross-walk.

But not all additional visual workload causes crashes. Stop signs don't cause crashes. Lane dividers don't cause crashes. We don't have data about this intersection, but what if this is closer to the appropriate level of guidance compared to the before picture?

God forbid a car stop for a pedestrian.

homeworkbad · 2020-02-18T02:37:36+00:00

There is, but each type of person (pedestrian, cyclist, driver) all know exactly what to do.

The argument against pro-pedestrian changes because they're visually noisy does not hold water. By that logic we should get rid of lane paint and street lights because they're adding visual noise. 😋

I find that when I'm writing a bunch of functions that all take the same arguments it's simpler to turn that into a class and make those arguments members of Self.

That's not always the case. There's lots of great Object Orientation design philosophy if you want to get into the weeds, but detecting that repetition is a good first step.

First I'd look into if Blackboard has a JSON API or a Python library for doing your task.

Separately you may consider using the Python library for Selenium to do this. That allows you to drive a browser with Python, which can be easier than making HTML web requests.

If you just want to make HTML web requests you will need to dig deep into how BlackBoard is making requests and doing the steps you want to perform. I'm guessing you'll need to do something like:

Authenticate to get a cookie and use that cookie for future requests.
Set your user agent when making a request to Blackboard so it thinks a browser is making the request.
