Hey Ben! This is so neat! I worked with Dr. Hansen on the audio digitization over on http://exploreapollo.org. Thanks for the link in the footer! I’ve been out of the loop on that project since graduating. Regardless, if you want to collaborate shoot me an email [email protected]

You do understand that nearly all the parts on an M16 are interchangeable with an AR15, right? The AR15 is an M16 without select fire capability.

I brought this up with my Japanese friend. He told me there are so many homophones in the language people are desensitised to stuff like this. For example: シ (shi) can mean both 四 (four) and 死 (death).

+1 for piptools. Piptools makes a lot of sense in a docker based workflow (virtualenv not needed).
Comment · 8 years ago
The fact that it couples dependency management to virtualenv management is really unfortunate for people that use docker. Can’t wait for pipfiles and such to be native to pip.

What do you think of mypy? http://mypy-lang.org/
Comment · 8 years ago
It’s toxic and lazy too. You should first go look and see if the actual code is high quality/does what you want.
If your idea of shopping for dependencies is looking at the amount of GitHub stars and the quality of the documentation: you are going to miss some real diamonds in the rough.

I added a travis cron job to update the image daily: https://github.com/Algram/ytdl-webserver/pull/6 and another guy came around and made the image even more friendly for automatic updates https://github.com/Algram/ytdl-webserver/pull/7
So if you ever run into issues you would just pull the latest container.

For instance if you run this on your desktop you could bookmark "http://local-desktop-ip:3000" on your mobile device and be able to download videos while on mobile.

I use zsh daily but type `xonsh` any time I do something in the shell that would normally require a google.
“Uh ok so I have this JSON file. When I pipe this to `jq` I forget: to pivot an array of objects to an object keyed by array[x].id is it like `to_entries` then chain it to `map`? Uhh let’s look at the docs...”
However in Python I can write that function at the speed of thought. It may be a couple more lines of code but I’m also 100% confident in the output.
Like I understand some people can legitimately program in bash [0]. But I just can’t bring myself to practice. Why would anyone inflict this language on themselves?
