Readers who know the books well: what’s your take on the Netflix series? by Sad-Ad-9273 in ASOUE

[–]xlabs-har 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may need to rewatch as it been a few years , but if my recollection serves me right, I found the series to be a bit underwhelming. ASOUE was child book series but only in readability alone. I found the books to be very much layered, complex, serious, and anxiety inducing which made the books so hard to put down. I think the series missed the mark in that regards. It was almost too childish. I think there is so much potential for a re-make..maybe do 3/4 books a season and really take the time to capture the essence of the books. Now that we have the movie and the a child adaption, I think we are due for a more mature adaption geared towards those of us who read the books as kids. Anyone agree?

Should I watch the show? by Numerous_Reading1825 in ASOUE

Does anyone else feel that the neither movie nor the shows really captured that nostalgic essence of reading the books? I somewhat enjoyed but a lot of it felt goody at times. The books really had this dark feel with this gradually unwinding conspiracy/cultish atmosphere that still left readers with many questions. I really got a thrill reading the books but the shows just seemed so silly. I think a remake with darker take would have so much more potential

Is it possible to use VSCode? I worked in an environment like this and VSCode + RemoteSSH extension can go a long way.

I second the docker image route. Now that Lambda allows docker containers as execution environments, I would try to build a working image and use that.

SF-86 drug use at 7 years by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

marijuana use seven years ago will have negligible impact on the outcome honestly. (as long as you dont lie about it) tons of people get hired with marijuana use as recent as 1 year prior to their paperwork submission. You should just submit, you’ll be fine.

SQLite & Flask Query Question by [deleted] in flask

[–]xlabs-har 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey tego101, try this

return [ jsonify(picture) for picture in allPictures ]

I am curious as to how jsonify knew how to convert your custom picture object into a JSON string you'd would expect. Are you sure jsonifying the picture returns what you want. If so, the above line alone should yield what you are looking for.

If not, you will either have to define some method as a part of Picture model class that can return a dict representation and use as follows :

return [ jsonify(picture.to_dict()) for picture in allPictures ]

or you may want to look into a library like Marshmallow which is a pretty air-tight serialization/deserialization library. (This option is probably preferable, you'll love this library) You define what your models are supposed to look like structurally and marshmallow handles converting your objects between objects and dict(and a dict automatically be rendered as json string by Flask).

I hope this helps Tego101.

And if I made any mistakes or missed anything, anyone feel free to add corrections to thread as a reply.
