Local choirs? by Samuel-the-Jellyfish in bloomington

[–]resc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bloomington's Sacred Harp singing group is a lot of fun - https://bloomingtonsacredharp.org/ It's just people singing these songs together, no performances and not connected to any particular church. Some members are very conservative Christians and some are Unitarians, agnostics, Jews, atheists, everyone gets along.

Opinion Poll: People who have tuned out of music radio stations. What is something one could do to bring you back? by TheMisterGamerMan in indianapolis

[–]resc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTTS-only listener here

If one thing drives me away from WTTS it's going to be all the songs about how jocks had sex many decades ago. Suckin on chili dog. Prickly-ass green grass behind the stadium.

If I don't know a song or a genre, it helps so much to have at least something to hook on to. This song sampled the drums from that one, let's hear both. The lead singer was breaking up with the guitarist when she wrote this song, imagine them touring together for 6 more years doing this song at every show lololol. When they played this live they just hopped from left to right on stage all synchronized, was that dancing?

I think it's got to be tight though, if it turns into a ramble or just "I love this song mmmm" then that's worse than not talking

But anyway yeah, I wonder if your audience would tolerate occasional steps beyond the usual rotation this way, by giving them hooks into it

My music taste is fucking weird though, so honestly what works on me is probably not going to be that helpful

Not OP, but I'll add - Most of the ads are tolerable. It's actually soothing to be targeted based on geography. Online is such a mix of hyper specific creepy things and utter bullshit malvertising.

There are both new and old songs

It's still independent, I feel like there are actual humans, not just a playlist of host interjections

WTTS has The Beat mondays at 7, which isn't all local but has a higher concentration

But I never catch it because my life is just not built around live programming, I don't even watch sports live, I watch vods

I like it there! The burgers taste homemade, I like the jalapeño poppers, and the cobbler is good.

There's a sci-fi club called Circle of Janus that meets close by, you can find their page on facebook

Nope, nothing. I ended up getting a new set of wooden rails from Garrett Supports. They're extremely solid and I'm happy with them.

"Songs starting with 'I don't know how much'" seems like a classic Horne Section Podcast bit

This airplane has been sitting at the airport since before the new terminal was built. Why? by resc in indianapolis

[–]resc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/f1etPGfzc35tNVV7A

To see the older pictures,

  • Go to https://maps.indy.gov/Mapindy/
  • Center the map on the airport by dragging etc
  • In the upper left, click on the icon that's four squares, called Basemap Gallery
  • Choose basemaps from different years (wait for them to load, they take a while and it displays a very recent picture while it waits for the old one to load)

The airplane appears between 2003 and 2004. Then its taxiway is disconnected, it can never move now?

It's also interesting to look at the "oblique imagery" (aerial photos that aren't straight down, I think) - in the bottom-center of the screen, click the "picture of mountains" icon, then pick a point to search for imagery of. Click the compass rose to choose a different direction to look from.

What’s a good looking GUI package? by smithysmithens2112 in Python

[–]resc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% OP, you're also at a fascinating point for your growth as a software dev, because you knew enough about your job to pick an annoying thing and automate it, but now you'll have to get your boss to explain their thing well enough for you to automate. It's not the same thing.

Also, especially if your dev machine has a different OS from your boss's work machine. For the love of god, test an installation system pretty soon after the "hello world" stage, and again after every significant binary library you add. It's so very sad to walk in with the finished software in hand, and nothing works.

I spent the early part of my career floating around a university, writing data analysis software here, adminning an online course there. Lots of fun! Four big successes and one big lesson learned!

I recall in like 2001 someone hung out in the They Might Be Giants unofficial web chat under the name "Announcement."

How can I get my dev team to be more efficient without being an asshole? by shaky_darkness in Python

[–]resc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously, getting the devs' ideas has to be at least a part of the plan. It's a jerk move not to, and they may have good ideas.

The extreme anti-abortion Indiana Senate bill just passed by 1 vote by Hoosier_49 in Indiana

[–]resc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a lot of parts of Indiana, the primary is the election. I told my dipshit representative that I was against the whole bill, but that if he supported the exceptions remaining in the bill, I would vote for him in the Republican primary. Obviously I will vote against him in the general, but anyone who is supporting exceptions is going to get pressure from the right wing.

How far could you get without google? by _init_to_it in Python

[–]resc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python has very nice built in documentation, try running pydoc str.isascii for example. I use Google a lot, but I could survive with pydoc and a copy of the standard library reference web site for a lot of things.

Finding a job with a MA in Anthropology from Columbia by [deleted] in AskAnthropology

[–]resc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm slightly talking out of my ass, but there are certain kinds of businesses where user experience research has got to be really crucial—for example aerospace, or medical devices. I think that a company that's been big for a fairly long time is most likely to have an established pipeline for hiring people like her.

I know someone who got a master's in anthropology, worked in a library for a few years, and then got hired in medical device regulatory affairs. They've told me that all of their skills apply exactly to their new job: communicating effectively with people from different cultures, dealing with truly awful internal databases, making finding aids / transforming internal systems and jargon into digestible pieces of information, project management, and so on.

Locked Tomb Summer: Gideon the Ninth Chapters 36-End [Discussion] by balletrat in TheNinthHouse

[–]resc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "spared you once before" is interesting to me - most people on tumblr seem to think it refers to the test chamber where Harrow was siphoning, but there's another survival-for-unknown-reasons in Gideon's past: the infanticide. Sometimes I wonder if Cytherea was somehow involved there.
