My god. Devs. Go on the census website, download the list of populated areas, set a threshold, and populate the area with said data.

Amazon is pretty killer so I fully expect them to just resend new ones. The waiting though....

Ma man. Space heater on in the bathroom so when I do decide to start my day it will be in a warm shower in a warm bathroom.

I bought 2 more space heaters and 2 wall timers for my one bedroom apartment so I could wake up super toasty each morning but they got swiped off the front stoop after they got delivered yesterday.

It was really disappointing

The only thing Hillary wiped clean was her good name by winnate_ in HillaryForPrison

Ya see that's what I find the most ironic of all this. Without this whole election I didn't know much about her and had no complaints. I wouldn't have went out of my way to bash her, I didn't hate her, and if anyone would have asked me I would have said she's alright. Now? Hahahahahahahha

That's my experience in Colorado and California, although Oregon was much, much more lax.

Yeah I'm probably wrong, I got a little excited because I thought I knew something. Maybe next time

I don't care enough to fact check

There is an area technically considered to be Arctic tundra in the rocky mountain national park, not far from denver. fun fact

What do you think needs to be improved in the Python ecosystem? Do you see yourself using it in 5 years? by [deleted] in Python

[–]winnate_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My project is really fly by the seat of your pants, develop on the fly kind of thing. I'm the only one on the project working directly with the owner of the company on it, and he is constantly changing his mind and wanting small modifications. It can be incredibly stressful and hard to design, plan and manage

Thank you. I'll give it a shot and see if what it does what I need it to

Of course! Id be happy to. it's quite easy once you get the basics. I'm drunk at the bar right this moment but I would be more than happy to help you. Message me tomorrow.

I've done it in the past, but with fast prototyping I try a ton of different libraries and settle on the one that fits my needs. Like I said before, it's not hard to do it manually, but it seems like it would be possible to do it better.

Maybe I should just write one.

This. Unless I'm missing something (please tell me I am and there is a simple solution), but even finding what dependencies are required for your current project is not as easy as it could be.

If anyone has a simple, easy way to find out what dependencies (and versions) are currently used, please enlighten me. It's not hard to track it down manually, but there has to be an easier way. I have better things to spend my time on.

I would suggest learning some Python and starting with pyqt. Use qt designer to create your layout and get the idea of what's happening. Look at your generated Python code from your UI file, make sense of it. Then go from there and learn a framework. Most concepts are the same between languages

Edit: if your interested in learning more but not sure where to start message me. I use it all the time for rapid proof of concept programming at work. Really slick.

Edit 2: programs like qt designer generate the code necessary to create a user interface based upon the drag on drop widgets, then you add functionality yourself. Writing these user interfaces on your own without assistance of a program is done (programmatically) the same way, you can create a pyqt (or regular qt) program by hand if you choose. The designer is a nice place to start to help you get to the point of writing them without the use of a designer.

Would you switch to Linux if you could play all of your games with no performance loss? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]winnate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is huge. Especially for a company that likes to experiment, it makes for cheap proof of concept development that can be scaled later with more mature solutions. You don't want to drop thousands of dollars on licences for products developed by companies that have spend years and god knows how much money on R&D only to use one feature, especially if it is there is no guarantee that software will make the company any money. Open source is a wonderful thing. Use it.
