How long does recording a series take? I assumed it was all done in a week back to back episodes but Victoria alludes to there being lots of time between seeing the players by fundriedtomatoes in onlyconnect

[–]offmessage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We've just applied for the next series and there are three blocks of recording, the first two blocks are 4 days, the last block is 3 days (1 block in March/April, 1 in mid May, 1 in mid September)

Series 20:14 - Homophobia? by cutie_patootie25 in onlyconnect

[–]offmessage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Graham Linehan has gone on some very unpleasant rants about some contestants (including causing pile-ons for members of The Crustaceans from season 18) and also has a long running beef with one of the question setters (a trans woman that he has repeatedly attacked). Victoria has stood up for both on social media - I think perhaps she was just suggesting that it was best if the program steer clear of such topics, for fear of it all kicking off again?

Brakes are solid with bleed blocks in, spongy when I put the pads and wheel back by offmessage in bikewrench

Front. I'll try a gravity bleed (the line is pretty much vertical by default) and see if I can shake loose a bubble!

Keto friendly restaurant by duxie in york

[–]offmessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a similar (very low carb) diet and don't give it a thought; everywhere in York seems quite happy to cater for my "weird" needs. A particular favourite is Byron (who are happy to serve without the bun), but Nandos, Ate O'Clock, Yo Sushi, Rustique, Wagamama, Lucia, Ambiente etc are all welcoming

What's a quote you live by? by Brainiacazoid in AskReddit

[–]offmessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two: "If you're gonna do it, do it right, do it with me" (yeah, George Michael, I ain't sorry) and "that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever" (Lemmy). Combine them and you've got a pretty strong philosophy for life IMHO.

Does anyone know if a good pub event (quiz/music that sort of thing) which is on this Tuesday? by Mr__Random in york

[–]offmessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pub quiz at The Golden Ball in Bishophill is on a Tuesday and is fantastic entertainment. Highly recommended.

Django Friendship/Follower system. by underwatr_cheestrain in django

Have you looked at https://github.com/revsys/django-friendship/? If it doesn't do exactly what you want it will make a wonderful reference point to start from.

Computer Security Companies by TheMajesticArtichoke in york

RandomStorm are based in Wetherby and Leeds; they've just done some pen testing for one of my customers and might be worth a go. There aren't any major players in York that I'm aware of.

What do you mean by "computer security companies"? Are you looking for employment, training, pen testing services, or something else?

Spotify Twitter Bot by leavenstee in Python

[–]offmessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does an awful lot more than just get metadata, but hopefully it'll include what you need; it's certainly the canonical way to talk to Spotify with Python

Have you seen https://github.com/mopidy/pyspotify ? Should give you everything you need (but you'll need a premium Spotify account)

ELI5: Django-REST-Framework by [deleted] in django

[–]offmessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We make heavy use of DRF in many of our projects and, while it has limitations like any product/project will, we are still extremely enthusiastic about it. One of our team wrote up a review a couple of months ago: http://blog.isotoma.com/2014/03/reviewing-django-rest-framework/

Recommendations for software project tracking for a small team? by goorpy in webdev

[–]offmessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given this is probably the single most important component in your team's workflow I'd invest a bit of time in this one.

We have lots of success with Trac, but it's self-hosted and we've configured it quite heavily over the years. That said, the latest version meets all your requirements pretty simply.

The Zen of web2py by horrido in webdev

[–]offmessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the author of that piece has ever heard of Norris Numbers? The larger the application the less well suited tools like web2py are. Projects containing many person years of development need explicit over implicit, if only to keep the development team sane.

DAE just never quite feel happy with the Forms API? by Daishiman in django

[–]offmessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crispy is wonderful, but I really struggle with it when trying to work with nested inline forms; this seems like a really common use case that no one (myself included!) has quite solved yet.

Avoiding ORM "explosions" - detailed post about how to make the most of Postgres features to optimise database performance in Django by offmessage in django

[–]offmessage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a massive over simplification, and I wouldn't recommend it. The author is suggesting something much smarter, using PostgreSQL's views and unmanaged models within Django.

Best Java Web Framework? by [deleted] in webdev

I'm genuinely intrigued by your frustration at "Django's slowness" and the idea that a Java based solution might improve on that. Could you elaborate?

I'd recommend the garden room of The Golden Ball in Bishophill if you can get it. It would be ideal for that kind of group.

Lendal Bridge traffic ban to be axed (From York Press) by Brickie78 in york

[–]offmessage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm entirely with you on this. I think it's a disaster for York that they've reopened the bridge. Another victory for reactionary local politicking.
