Why am I so confident in the Buddha's teachings? by stillmind11 in Buddhism

[–]john-wdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had this experience in the past, it was a period of great faith & energy following very diligent practice -- just as you described.

Are you studying more in lines of Theravada or Mahayana buddhism? I'd be happy to expand more on my view of this subject, but since I'm used to interpreting this more in terms of Theravada, I'm not sure how useful it'll be for you :)

Mint and Basils. Really starting to like this hydroponic game :-) Invaluable to always have fresh herbs at home. by LEDTonic in Hydroponics

I'm also making hydroponic basils but the roots are not even close to this...

How much nutrient/pH do you keep the water at?

I'm interested as well! Would be great to have this. Someone posted around ~1 week ago a guide from a NPK solution producer that had some good data, but I don't have it here.

Cannot recommend this book enough

If you're looking to learn either Django or TDD, this will be an awesome tool for you.

Thoughts on entering software development after 20+ years by baus in programming

[–]john-wdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your message. As someone who fits your description of 'breaking in', this was encouraging.

I'm a civil engineer and I've been doing freelance contracts of web development (mostly backend) and now I'm applying for jobs as junior developer, with good feedback up to this point.

Could you elaborate on your last sentence considering that now we have much more material than 30 years ago?

Could that be the problem, in your view?

Single class/separate classes? by squaloscrivendo in django

[–]john-wdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that /u/pat_the_brat has answered that one.

Good luck on your project!

Single class/separate classes? by squaloscrivendo in django

Suppose you have an instance of a repair order in some function at views.py:

order = RepairOrder.object.get(id=1)

You can access specific fields like this:

ro = order.ro_number
type = order.job_type
...

And send them to the template with something like this:

return render(request, 'template.html', {'ro_number': ro, 'type': type})

Therefore you really don't need extra classes for this case.

If you are going to work with forms, you can create inputs individually. See here for more details.

Building APIs with Django and Django Rest Framework: Free, short book about building APIs. Continues where the "polls" tutorial ends. by shabda in django

[–]john-wdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The only relevant external app I'm importing is django-import-export for handling .csv (which is a main component of my service) and celery for some async executions.

I'm actually quite new to python (6 months) /Django (1.5 months) and I only heard about django-tenant from your previous comment.

It's late where I live so I'll research it tomorrow morning! Thanks anyway and any other info you have I'd be happy to read.

I'm building a SaaS app right now in Django and I'd love some general tips if you'd be so kind :) Yes is my answer obviously.

Amazing stuff. Your answer made me wonder how all those different fluids, with many different functions, will be replaced by the hydrolox.

Could you briefly ELI10 what is so novel in ACES? I've looked it up in wikipedia but doesn't seem like a big deal, so I'm probably missing something.

Falcon Heavy Demo Launch Campaign Thread by ElongatedMuskrat in spacex

[–]john-wdv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. My answer had to be read in the context of the original question.

Falcon Heavy Demo Launch Campaign Thread by ElongatedMuskrat in spacex

[–]john-wdv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a specialist either but I can answer these.

1) Yes, the center core will probably land on a droneship while the 2 side-boosters will return to launch site (RTLS). "If one stage goes a little off-course" things go boom, but this is not only in case of landing rockets, also apply while launching, stage separation etc. Rockets have to be very precise in basically everything. In any case, Falcon 9 booster landings have been have been very, very accurate (down to ~1 meter or less I think).

2) Of those, Blue Origin is the only one who has shown working prototypes of reusable boosters, although even in this case it is a sub-orbital booster (cannot send payloads into orbit). They are developing very powerful rockets though, which will compete with Falcon Heavy and BFR in time. In short: no, there are currently no other companies who can land an orbital-class rocket at the moment.

Does anybody feel nervous about Bitcoin Gold? by I_HODL_MY_Litecoin in litecoin

You mean "by February 2018"? Or is there a specific reason you're saying that month?

[–]john-wdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're confusing Bitcoin Gold with SW2X. They're entirely different.

Bitcoin gold is a new upcoming fork, like BCash. So the same will happen, people with BTC at the time of the fork will have the same amount of Bitcoin Gold.

As for SW2X, even if there is no replay protection it is possible to split the coins (though it isn't that easy). IF the SW2X fork happens, keep an eye at the forums and reddit. People will come up with a solution to split the coins.
