2019-10-23 – Mostly Software

Pulled out of every private investment. Nothing in robinhood, tradeking, or ally. All solium. I’ll rediversify again after tradebot reports conclusively successful movements, hopefully after some recession with lower positions.
There are ~630,000 publicly traded companies in the world. From a data standpoint, it’s not ridiculous to do a simple linear regression on all of them through history, with decent resolution.
Most mobile phones are in the ballpark of 375×800, for design reference (banners etc).
Made the banner for franky. Deployed.

Pxlr free online to remove the necessary sections, then intentionally filled in the background white so that the space between the repeated image (bg-secondary) was contrasted.
Used background-repeat: space, which is much better because it will adjust the x padding between the repetitions responsively for viewport size.
Background-position: center, just for the case where there’s only one instance (mobile).
And then background-size: contain, with a fixed height as usual.

Reinstalled gnome-system-monitor for process and resource utilization, uninstalled htop. I already have top for terminal inspection, I want history with my graphical monitor (even if it’s only 60 seconds).
Clippers beat Lakers on opening night.
Nationals beat Astros for game 1 of the world series.
Remember:

sudo apt remove <> will uninstall the package, and the packages that depend on it, but leave the config files.
sudo apt purge <> will uninstall the package, and the packages that depend on it, and remove the config files.
sudo apt autoremove will uninstall all packages that were installed as dependencies but the parents aren’t around anymore. It’s not the best practice to run this.
sudo apt list –installed

You shouldn’t delete the default ubuntu python installation, there are many system packages that depend on it:

apparmor* apport* apport-gtk* aptdaemon* apturl* apturl-common* dh-python* foomatic-db-compressed-ppds* gdm3* gedit* gedit-common* gir1.2-ibus-1.0* gnome-control-center* gnome-menus* gnome-online-accounts* gnome-session* gnome-shell* gnome-software* gnome-software-plugin-snap* gnome-terminal* gnome-tweaks* google-chrome-stable* hplip* hplip-data* ibus* ipython3* language-selector-common* language-selector-gnome* lsb-release* nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal* nautilus-share* openprinting-ppds* orca* plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text* printer-driver-foo2zjs* printer-driver-foo2zjs-common* printer-driver-m2300w* printer-driver-postscript-hp* printer-driver-ptouch* printer-driver-pxljr* system-config-printer-common* system-config-printer-udev* tox* ubuntu-drivers-common* ubuntu-release-upgrader-core* ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk* ubuntu-session* ubuntu-software* ubuntu-system-service* unattended-upgrades* update-manager* update-manager-core* update-notifier* update-notifier-common* usb-creator-common* virtualbox* virtualbox-qt* virtualenv* xdot* xorg* xserver-xorg*
This is absolutely ridiculous. Python should not be this coupled to the base dist and desktop env.

My pip install was being weird after using lfs. It can’t install any pip packages, which means it can’t create venvs, run tests, etc. Even after uninstalling git-lfs, it was still pointing at their repo. The default index was still being reported as pypi.
Deleted this shitty piece of code. It was messing with a bunch of system-level config on my machine. Wiped my python installation as well.
Removed the .git/hooks/ relevant files: post-checkout, post-commit, pre-push, post-merge.
https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh.
Honestly fuck this project. It messed with so much in my system level. It left cruft everywhere with no mechanism for cleanup.
Tried purge, reinstalling, more for all versions of python, pythonX-pip, virtualenv, pip, etc.
`curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3` was the start.
/usr/share/python-wheels is not necessary. It can be empty.
sudo pip3 uninstall then install virtualenv tox back into the system environment was the fix.

lol:
Snowden found no evidence of aliens, chemtrails, other gov’t coverups, and conspiracy theories, and he had deep access to nearly everything.
It was basically Snowden talking for 3 hours. Joe was probably the quietest I’ve ever seen.
It’s scary to live in a world where someone is prosecuted for doing the right thing.
Departments don’t collaborate, they try to work solo to take full credit for accomplishments, just like in a regular job.
Ultimately, it’s just people trying to save their jobs and/or get promotions, just like any other industry. It’s just in government, politics, and intelligence.

WeWork’s CEO Adam Neumann is walking away with 1.7B after the buyout, after driving the company and the stock price into the ground. The employees are getting screwed.
Toggle buttons are better than checkboxes, if there are many items: https://medium.com/@uxmovement/why-toggle-tokens-are-a-better-alternative-to-checkboxes-2b6403e140ff.
Roasted 5 pounds of peanuts and processed into peanut butter.
Listened to Chris Cornell most of today (lead singer audioslave, soundgarden). I don’t like his solo work as much as Tremonti.
Reinstalling ansible added python2.7 back to my system. Lol.
Supercontest.

https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt-group/supercontest/issues/127.
Took the plots that had complementary data (cover/push/noncover by team, and favorite/push/underdog by line) and stacked them all onto the same bar chart (for each complement to 100).
Plotly is smart enough to sort each individual trace, and then reassign each trace based on similar label. However, if you want to sort across multiple numbers (like primary sort covers then secondary sort on covers+pushes), you should separate the full dataset separately and then build the traces explicitly, rather than having plotly aggregate for you.
Made them horizontal and colored them with the same colors as table-success/warning/danger, for consistency.
Committed nellw lines for week 8.
All text looked good, appropriate relative to picks open/closed, padding, margin, during all phases of line commit.
Submitted my picks.

Bootstrap hex colors for table (these are different than the ones for text, buttons, etc).
