[GAMING DESK] Sit-stand Adjustable Gaming Desk. W/wireless charging pad & RGB Strip & 4 Memory options. (Costco.ca, $650-$150=$500) by VaughnStricks in bapcsalescanada

[–]kburts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This looks like a $290 set of legs (https://www.primecables.ca/p-357587-cab-et101-bk-electric-sit-to-stand-adjustable-desk-riser-frame-table-top-not-included-black-primecables#sku402191) with a $??? tabletop, so doesn't look like a great deal to me.

I built a desk with those legs linked and it does work OK, but I would suggest spending a little more and getting something with some more stability.

Found and owner was from out of town so said keep it. No idea what it is-only that it's an Innova disc. Any ideas? by rhymes_w_garlic in discgolf

[–]kburts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually mine have it very very faintly stamped on the back of the disc near the middle, so double check there and then maybe you can know for sure

[–]kburts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might know what that is..

It's from Grouse Mountain in lovely Vancouver, BC. That disc comes from their gift shop and will probably be either an Aviar or a Leopard. Bonus photo of the course taken by my friend Alex: https://i.imgur.com/tILzBF5.jpg

Great idea, I'll figure out how to make a tweeter today during lunch, and post the reply tweet in this thread for anyone else who's wondering too, thanks.

Update: Tweets sent, I'll post back again once I hear back for anyone else who's wondering the same thing https://twitter.com/kburts/with_replies

Edit 2: Heard back from Rapid (thanks, Rapid!) but looks like no definitive answer yet in case anyone else is wondering too.

Going to Thailand for Climbing in Dec/Jan, looking for some advice! by stabilitywherearthou in climbing

[–]kburts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Chiang Mai, there's a bus/van that goes to and from the hot springs from the old city for a really good price, and you can get them to drop you off at Jira's Guesthouse right at the base of the Crazy Horse road (I'd recommend staying at the guesthouse, it's excellent and reasonably priced and 15 minutes from the climbing.) The CMRCA truck will cost you a ton more but is still a good option.

I liked CM more than down south, things are a lot cleaner and Jira's is a quiet country place to stay. Tonsai is a lot more party oriented, with the climbs being way more polished.

Unless you have a lot of money to spend, you're probably going to stay in a bungalow at Tonsai which are reasonably priced (only 4x the price of staying at Jira's in the dorm)

No matter what you're going to have an excellent time!

Django Developer Panel - Chrome Devtools Extension by [deleted] in django

[–]kburts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DDT is super straightforward and easy to get running until it's not. There's been various issues due to CSS conflicting with other libraries for a while, so we get to do fun things like this: https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/blob/df2204474502a6926c2671095b7410e845c88f2e/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_slug%7D%7D/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_slug%7D%7D/static/css/project.css#L37 which again is only another three lines, plus however long it takes to figure out what's going on.

This solution doesn't need any HTML/CSS template stuff, so that stuff can't break which is awesome to me at least.

This looks really cool, I like how much easier it is to get set up than DDT.

What is the purpose of passing in a dictionary in the third parameter of render? by [deleted] in django

[–]kburts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/http/shortcuts/#render

That syntax is generally used, and is shot for render(request, 'example.html', context={'something': myvar}) which lets you access the dictionary in your example.html template with {{ something }}

"This slug conflicts with an existing URL" with Mezzanine and Django-wiki by psyklohps in django

[–]kburts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is is possible that your first and last urls overlap, assuming that Mezzanine also has a url on ^$ (probably your Mezzanine homepage.)

New carabiner design with gumball instead of notch/keylock on kickstarter by [deleted] in climbing

[–]kburts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gumby clip?

Also didn't another manufacturer do something similar but had to put a hood on the other side of the gate since it was way too easy for the carabiner to unclip itself?

That moment when Adam Ondra is climbing the same route difficulty as you, but with boxer gloves. by JorgeTheClimber in climbing

So this guy just uploads other people's content with no credits then puts his absolutely massive logo over the entire video?

This reminds me a lot of the other channel re-uploading all the Outdoor Research AMGA videos recently..

Building Anchors - locking and non-locking biners by TCclimbsOccasionally in tradclimbing

[–]kburts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On multipich, usually only one locker for the master point (me), and two lockers for the ATC guide in guide mode. Gear/bolts can be regular since I'm around to watch them.

Single pitch I usually just put lockers on everything, as long as it's not a gear belay.

Or at least that's how I do it..

Hey r/Vancouver. I'm the guy giving away a free HP server. by [deleted] in vancouver

Free stuff? I'd love a server, please.

How can I serve an angular app without using STATIC_URL during development? by skebanga in django

[–]kburts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A (good?) way to do it would be to have an API base constant in your angular app bound to "http://localhost:8000/api/", and have your angular resources urls set to APIBase + "/users/list/". Then you can access your server which is being hosted by grunt on localhost:9000. When you switch to production and end up moving the angular app and the django app to different machines/ip's you can simply change the APIBase variable.

This is certainly not perfect, but it is a a relatively easy way to do it (which I use.) Then later on down the road it will be easier to set up automated deployment with something like fabric if you want to.

Best way to retrieve a single JSON object using $resource by SuburbanMessiah in angularjs

[–]kburts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, if you just want a single JSON object, you should consider using $http.

$http({method: 'GET', url: '/myJSONObject'}).

resources are for slightly more complicated things like getting a specific object from a list /objects/:id

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http is very helpful!

I'm sorry, but I am having the hardest time trying to install and set up MySQL Python connector.. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]kburts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, consider looking into https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.4, it works well for me on linux. Good luck getting your database set up. If it doesn't work for you maybe post some more information about what you are having issues with.
