I should retitle this thread, “How to find that piece of paper”.
I’m all good. Two pairs ordered.
It’s easier when you’ve got your glasses. 
Does anyone here code python on a Mac? What do you use for an environment?
Not if I can avoid it, and I’ve forgotten. Some things require python 2, others python 3, Homebrew broke some of my scripts when it stopped supporting python 2…
brew list lists
py2cairo
pybind11
pypy
python@3.8
python@3.9
P.S.
pip3 is pretty important too.
I only use python to deal with the occasional AWS thing so I don’t really have anything special other than vim, pylint and pytest (so other people can verify my POS scripts did what they were supposed to do and if they don’t any more, that’s their problem).
I avoid Python as much as possible, but vscode is a pretty damn good dev environment for it. It’s free, well supported, powerful, and (relatively) lightweight. It does code completion, linting, debugging, etc.
vscode is my go-to when a more fully featured environment like Xcode or Visual Studio is too heavy or unnecessary for the needs of the moment.
It’s been 5 years since I did. I just used Sublime Text and a local install of whatever python version was on the server at that time. It was a small project with a goal of no additional configuration or dependencies needed on the server.
If I were doing anything more significant, or anything more recently, I’d almost certainly do it differently. I don’t know exactly how though, other than having python and dependencies live in a docker container.
I recently started using Firefox again and have a question regarding bookmarks. When adding a new bookmark I get this dialog box:
If I click the button the red arrow is pointing to, I can choose from different sub folders. I find it bothersome that I have to click that button every time and would like if the dialog box appeared in the state I’d like it in.
Does anyone know of an about:config setting I can toggle to make that happen? I’ve looked in the regular settings and couldn’t find anything.
If you 1. show your bookarks toolbar, and 2. manually drag one of the icons left of the url into the apptopriate folder, that should work.
I know the dropdown list next to it will normally show the most recent folders you’ve selected to put bookmarks into, the one with the arrow pointing to it is the same as hitting that and then the “choose” option. I’m not sure of any way to automatically go to the “choose” dialog though.
Not sure if this is the right type of technical question… is there no ignore feature here? I can see and have used ‘mute’ but can’t find ‘ignore’. I would really like to not be able to see posts or anything from certain users.
As far as I know it broke rendering of the editor pane.
Here’s a thread for questions regarding the BBS:
I’m able to ignore someone if I go to their profile.
See BBS Questions: How Do I... ❓ ⁉ - #44 by RatMan and the message that follows it for two ways to make it work.
I know it works because I also use it.
I’m considering switching back to Linux and am curious if anyone knows how well the Affinity Suite works using Wine?
My family was good friends was an important cartoonist, Howard Cruse. His husband recently died and it occurred to me that his website is probably no longer being maintained.
When I entered howardcruse.com, I landed on the Wordpress.org login page.
Does anyone know if there is a way to take on someone’s domain/site posthumously? I’d like to keep his site alive.
Did google books just break?
I like to limit my book searches by publication date, for a variety of reasons.
Guess that’s not happening.
That’s a weird one, considering it’s a Google search. In that it works for me in Firefox but not in Chrome:
That’s pasting the exact same URL in both.
Huh. Could be a difference in the value of some retained cookie that Google uses to tailor search results?
