  1. People joke about installing Python environments (xkcd.com/1987/), but I'm looking at and... am I misunderstanding, but `sudo apt install npm` (on ) gives me a version (12.22) that isn't compatible with installing the typescript package (EBADENGINE required: node >=14.17). So I should install latest node using , which installs via curl of a script which git clones its own repo to my ~/.npm, does this sounds right so far?

  2. #Tesseract was originally developed at #HewlettPackard Laboratories #Bristol #UK and at Hewlett-Packard Co, #Greeley Colorado USA between 1985 and 1994, with some more changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some C++izing in 1998. In 2005 Tesseract was open sourced by HP. From 2006 until November 2018 it was developed by #Google.

    Major version 5 is the current stable version and started with release 5.0.0 on November 30, 2021. Newer minor versions and bugfix versions are available from GitHub.

    To me, this is the type of thing a #Newb #programmer might or should investigate. That thing has been around for longer than you've been alive. And I was about ten years old when they came up with it.

    How about them apples?

  3. LOLLOLLOL so my AppleWatch is now speaking a different language and I can't pair it yet as a result. I also can't figure out for the life of me how to put the band on. Yep, definitely having all kinds of #Blind #Newb moments. Yay!

  4. Looking at it first time today. (svg so responds to [ Ctrl + '+' ] didnt think to zoom it before)

    Wow! percentages on everything.

    I'm amazed! Astounded truly. 140 lines to achieve all of that? And I'm sure I'm doing it all sorts of wrong. But that's a genuine task solved w/ Python in basically a day, but i've been tweeking around w/ the filesystem stuff.

    On the data-science bandwagon of course.
    Thought I'd re-do my ⇨ *OLD* ⇦ php static cms (did i meantion it's old?) as a python app to learn from that perspective.
    see:
    statecollegeguitarlessons.com/

    I dunno why i want to start by learning how to mess with the filesystem. probably some kind of psychosis. someone has a name for that.

    traverse the dirs w/ tuple os.walk i think at that time, abandoned for pathlib - thought, okay: this is pretty easy w/ python! let's try counting file-types, etc. clearly abandoning the cms idea by that time. Also, i see Jupyter Notebook is basically already the thing. so. ha!

  5. Getting started w/ #Python
    That's a ten year old lie. But not really (see profile). #Newb anyway.

    advised to use #PyCharm . it put some libs/ modules on there for me.

    rsync /linux/box /windows/box

    Surprised what pycharm added:
    I don't want the IDE to just throw libraries in there that might work for what I'm trying to do.
    That doesn't seem advantageous really, except for someone who has no plans other than to learn.

    Can always uninstall them. remove them / comment out e.g. in app.py . seems extra.

    anyone get where i'm coming from on that?
    Recommendations? As in... don't let PyCharm do that... instead, do this...

    E.g. simple thing using import requests to manipulate some json, . Pycharm added Catfish. why?
    lol. newb.

    I have b/g in PHP (from v4), .js of course. web dev stuff. BASH. apache/ nginx admin via ssh. admin a vps WHM

  6. For a friend's birthday(which was originally in February), I decided to learn crochet and created Bunny Link from A Link to the Past! He's a bit scrungly looking, but he finally made it to his home today.

    Hey there! I'm just getting started in the Fedi-verse.
    @moira advised about the #activitypub extension for #WordPress (though didn't identify by name initially, so I was huntin' and peckin': Installed all #mastodon #WPplugins lol. probably.

    Any tips for a #newb ?
    I've been referencing fedi.tips/

    Cheers!

  8. So I am thinking about getting back into #EveOnline what would be a good #newb strategy in 2023.

  9. Decent progress on creating my own VR scenes. Still following tutorials.

    Baby steps on my way to an augmented/mixed reality application I have been kind of working on for years.

    Still using free objects/scripts/textures that are built into the Unity framework and assets management.

  10. @Gazimoff i'm a #gunpla #newb but i would do markers first, let it dry, then decals. i've used #gunpla markers a few times and with my unsteady hands the ink can get around, wouldn't want any getting on a decal.

  11. Sloopy lives on
    in a very busy part of #TheTube
    & everybody, yeah
    tries to treat her
    like she's some kinda #newb
    Sloopy, I don't care
    if the trolls try to put you down
    Cuz Sloopy can tell you
    #TheMcCoys
    have the best gig in town

    The Vibrations were the 1st
    to record Berns & Farrell's tune
    The #Yardbirds version
    really made all the boppers swoon
    Even the #DC5
    Then BANG!

  12. I thought I’d try @icecubesapp as a great way to learn instance vibez.

    But it seems I can’t log in using a @mastadon.social account.

    Is it just me?

  13. Going to learn "how to properly Elder Scroll" 😉
    I'm a level 4 Redguard Dragonknight, so I hope that's a good one!

  14. Relative #newb questions. Please boost for greater reach

    What is everyone using to access the fediverse?
    - website?
    - or an app? and which app?
    Mastodon, Tusky, or Toot?

    Also how to post gifs? I miss gifs :) I can sometimes post them using the keyboard gif option on my phone but only when making an original post and not when replying. Am I missing something?

  15. #NewB als coöperatieve bank verdwijnt. Maar er is dankzij vdk bank onverwacht toch zicht op een duurzame en ethische bank voor heel België.

    Coöperant van NewB @ReinVanGisteren legt in een gastbijdrage uit waarom hij voorstander is van de overnameplannen.

  16. What's the deal with account redirection/relocation? If I simply redirect my account on another server, do those followers automatically follow me here? #Mastadon #redirect #newb
