[schmarty] whew trying to learn about spatialite to poke around the idea of "Moresquare" and... wow SRIDs / projections are confusing to think about. what the heck does Swarm / Foursquare use as their SRID? 😰
# [schmarty] HA, when in doubt just ask the ol search engines https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56284135/what-map-projection-srid-does-foursquare-use
# [schmarty] nearing enough knowledge to be dangerous (read: make a sloppy prototype)

jeremycherfas Serious noob question: Most of my Python programs are silly little things that only do a few things for me, usually using data that currently lives in the same folder as the .py Would I be better off having all of those in a higher Python folder, and setting a single environment for that? Or is it really best to keep each project in a folder with an environment for that project alone?

# 
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> jeremycherfas I have a single folder where I keep a lot of my small scripts. It has a lot of random code (and much of it was for one-off tasks).
# jeremycherfas And do you keep external data loose in the same folder?
# jeremycherfas For example, some of my movement tracking reads data files that I update each month.
# IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I keep csv files, etc. in that folder too.
# IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> The heuristic I can derive from my use of the folder is that if something is more than one script / is evolving into a bigger project / is something I am going to open source, I will create a new directory.

# jeremycherfas Utterly mystified `pip list` in my venv shows both pandas and numpy. But `which -a pandas` says `zsh: permission denied: pandas` and I have read & write permission on /venv
# jeremycherfas Maybe I should just try to recreate the python program I am trying to run, from scratch. Because the error I keep getting seems to keep referring to a python version not in the venv I so carefully set up.
# jeremycherfas Oh. I thought it did, before. I'm probably mistaken.
# jeremycherfas The thing is, I've now tried the problematic portions of my code in an interactive Python session, and it all just works ;)
# jeremycherfas So maybe I should forget about watching it work with Jupyter and just run the darned thing.
# jeremycherfas But first, lunch.

# jeremycherfas Well, that was simple. I was trapped in a rut of getting a notebook to run. There's nothing wrong with the program. worked perfectly. I think Anaconda has squeezed the life out of my system. I don't really need it, although Spyder is useful.
# jeremycherfas I installed it because the MOOC I studied said to do so, but I'm going to try and manage without, for a while.

Loqi An easter egg is an (often small) undocumented feature, many are small jokes https://indieweb.org/easter_egg
# gRegor Yeah, falling back to the me value would be good, like "Welcome https://gregorlove.com"

# [schmarty] Me: let's crawl all my checkins to make a list of venues so i can see what's close!
# [schmarty] Me in 2018: "let's not get carried away" with mf2. [explicitly omits latitude and longitude from the checkin templates]
# [schmarty] literally i found the commit where i last tweaked the mf2 for my checkins and the git commit comment was: "maybe better mf2 for checkins but hey let's not get carried away"
