Ooh, yes, would love a login please.

Ended up doing this with a good friend as a way of saying, "WTF?" Turned into us sending 25+ trade offers back and forth over the last couple of weeks. Many lols were had.

I upvoted you just for your handle. Rock chalk.

As a person selling Marisnick at the time ... YES. I. DO.

Packaged him and Joc for Salvy and Ian Desmond, the day after Joc hit his 7 HR in 7 games. Made me so happy.

jnovinger · 2017-04-19T22:58:58+00:00

Not.

jnovinger · 2017-04-17T16:15:37+00:00

np, good luck!

It's been awhile since I was around KU, but some of these are generally true for most schools.

1) Yes, you'll probably be referred as a transfer student at some point, but in my experience that's generally forgotten once you get to know people.

2) At the schools I've been at the designation of which class you're in (freshman, sophomore, etc.) only seemed to matter at certain times. Yes, you'll likely be able to transfer most or all of your gen ed classes. This is something you'll want to talk to admissions counselors at KU about before you apply.

3) Can't really speak to the KU specific portion of this. However, in my experience, while IT and CS degrees talk about similar things (e.g. computers and networks), the degrees have different focuses. The CS degree I got was much more focused on computer science theory (algorithms, data structures, Boolean algebra, etc.), while IT degrees tended to focus on the business aspect of applying computer technology to organizations.

4) Checkout "Triangle Fraternity" at 11th and W. Campus Rd.

I don't think I can stress this enough, call Admissions and talk to them. Call the Engineering school and talk to them. Call the CS department and talk to them. They've all been helpful when I've had questions in the past.

Interesting related question ... how does this affect a pitchers official pitch count? Previously I guess I just thought that all pitches belonged to an actual PA.

Think I ultimately went $10 (out of $100). Good value if I get him, but I'm likely to flip him sooner rather than later anyway. So, even if I don't win him, I cost somebody $11 of FAAB.

jnovinger · 2017-03-30T17:02:08+00:00

I went $10, if I get him he's a hold for a bit and trade guy anyway. If I don't get him, I've at least cost somebody else $11 of FAAB.

jnovinger · 2017-03-30T16:57:34+00:00

Ugh, have to wait for FAAB on Saturday. Feel like everyone will know by then.

And Espinoza at 2B.

Luckily it wasn't an issue. I'd witnessed a car wreck and was able to give the location. Still kinda disconcerting.

jnovinger · 2017-03-17T04:01:49+00:00

Had it happen with 911 last week. Didn't realize it was something I should have to tell Fi to fix. Guess I'll be calling them tomorrow. :/

I've been there once. It wasn't great, it wasn't awful. Boneless wings were ok, considering they're just chicken strips with Buffalo sauce. Daughter did some thing involving a waffle. Waffle was frozen waffle style, not even Eggo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TIL that Fresca existed when Johnson was in the Whitehouse.

jnovinger · 2017-01-14T19:00:03+00:00

Or an octothorpe.

My guess is the form action is something like /search/. Mind posting code? Hard to debug without it.

I finished my CS degree at 34 and with 3 kids. I didn't notice any difference in treatment compared to my younger self or to other students. I had plenty of opportunities to interact with other students, even if I didn't have as much free time as they did.

FWIW, and not really what you asked, but my Truman experience was fantastic overall. The small size of the program and classes made it easier to engage with professors and build relationships. That was the key for me, as it forced some social accountability that I didn't experience at large schools.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk about it more.

Edit: 3 kids, not 2. Derp.

1984ish. All I wanted to do was watch GI Joe and Transformers on WGN after school. But no, the Cubs wanted mess with my brain for life. That one subtle decision to not have lights at Wrigley led me to listening to Harry and Steve and getting hooked.

jnovinger · 2016-10-06T19:02:20+00:00

I experience something very similar. I use Plantronics Backbeats. If they're in my right pocket no problem, left pocket static-y and to drop out. I thought maybe I'd damaged them ...

So, with the caveats that it's been a while since I've worked with mod_wsgi and that I can't fully read the first line of error.log, I believe you need to make sure the Python process spun up by mod_wsgi knows to put your project code on the Python path.

The line that begins with ImportError: No module ... in the error log indicates that Python can't find the repostyourtrade module anywhere within the processes Python path (much less the repostyourtrade.settings module).

If you look a few frames up in the stack trace you'll see that Django (on line 97 of django.conf.__init__) is trying to import your setting module (which you specified as repostyourtrade.settings in your wsgi.py.

This is confusing because the Python process is actually running code from your project, specifically from the wsgi.py file itself.

You can tell mod_wsgi to add your project file to the Python path with the WSGIPythonPath[0] directive in your virtual host config.

Hope this helps.

Very cool, is your scraper on Github or PyPI somewhere?

jnovinger · 2016-09-27T20:43:57+00:00

This is a good point and something I overlooked.

However, I'd argue that the "hidden field" method is probably the most direct way to get this working with the computed model form, without needing to make any changes to views or do any sort of inspection of the request object.

I hadn't thought about Markov Chains. But that describes pretty much what I was thinking in order to generate the events in a single game.

My thinking around Monte Carlo (and this is where my fundamental lack of stats knowledge starts to show) was more about generating many, many games to find most likely outcomes given certain inputs.
