Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought.

A couple days ago i finally sat down and tried to install Mint. The installer didnt recognize my windows partition so it didnt offer any assistance. And a stroke of fate saw my internet connection dieing at the exact same time. Yes, i cant believe it either.

So i decided to live dangerously and just try to wing the installation with no outside help. It seems like creating a second EFI partition was not the right call. The install failed, and I couldn't get back onto windows.

I wound up just using a live ubuntu image for a few days while i wrestled with repairing the boot loader. I didnt succeed. Eventually i just made a windows recovery disk from my Desktop with an intact copy of windows, and had to reinstall windows.

Then i did manage to successfully install Debian, and ive been having such a great time with it so far. I feel like i probably didnt even need to keep a windows partition, especially since i could have just used my desktop if i REALLY needed windows. I havent had this much fun just using the computer since i was a kid.

I'm new to vim and getting the hang of the configuration. I've gone through a couple of youtube videos giving a tutorial of setting it up with lazy.nvim. Now I am following ThePrimeagen's config, and UndoTree doesn't work.

The plugin is loaded and my config is properly sourced, but when I run run :UndoTreeToggle, I get this lovely error:

(E5108: Error executing lua: function undotree#UndotreeToggle[11]..<SNR>37_new[2]..41, line 6: Vim(echoerr):"diff" is not executable. stack traceback: [C]: at 0x7ff77ae89570)

I am running windows (currenty in the process of backing up my personal data so I can try out Linux without feeling too disconnected from my daily computer user). I did a little bit of google searching and checked the issues on github, unfortunately I couldn't find anything related to my problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am working on user authentication in Flask. I have my User class, which inherits from db.Model (SQLAlchemy) and UserMixins (flask-login):

class User(db.Model, UserMixin):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(100), unique=True)
    password = db.Column(db.String(100))
    name = db.Column(db.String(1000))

and I create a new User object during registration:

        new_user = User(
            name=request.form["name"],
            password=generate_password_hash(password=request.form.get("password"),
                                            salt_length=8,
                                            method="pbkdf2:sha256"),
            email=request.form["email"])

Since I inherited from UserMixins, I started to get an "unexpected arguments" warning from pycharm when I create new_user. can someone explain to me why that is? If I don't inherit from UserMixins, the warning goes away.

So, it used to work just fine. Then jerboa became basically unusable due to some bug. That was a few weeks ago. I saw an update was available, so I thought to give it another try. It's much more stable after the update, and my lemmy.one account works just fine. But when I try to log in with this account on jerboa, I get an incorrect login error. I set the instance to "programming.dev" and I know I used the right credentials because my password manager filled them in, just like it does in the browser.

Any ideas on a cause or fix? It might be a jerboa issue but I don't get why it seems to only impact this instance.

I am trying to create a playlist with spotify and the spotipy library in python. However, I keep getting a "No token provided" error when making my API request. However, if I use the same token with a curl request, it works! Can someone please help. This is my code:

auth_manager = SpotifyOAuth(client_id=CLIENT,
                            client_secret=SECRET,
                            redirect_uri="http://example.com/",
                            scope=SCOPE,
                            username=spotify_display_name
                            )
token = auth_manager.get_access_token(
    as_dict=False,
    check_cache=True
)

sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=auth_manager,
                     auth=token
                     )
user_dict = sp.current_user()
user_id = user_dict["id"]
print(f"Welcome, {user_dict['display_name']}")


# SEARCH
# QUERY FORMAT: "track: track-name year: YYYY"

spotify_search_endpoint = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search/"
test_query = "track:Hangin'+Tough year:1989"

search_parameters = {
    "q": format_query(test_query),
    "type": "track"
}

results = sp.search(q=search_parameters["q"])
print(results)

output:

{'tracks': {'href': 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=track%3AHangin%27%2BTough%2520year%3A1989&type=track&offset=0&limit=10', 'items': [], 'limit': 10, 'next': None, 'offset': 0, 'previous': None, 'total': 0}}

{
"error": {
"status": 401,
"message": "No token provided"
}
}

This is really frustrating! The authentication is working, otherwise the token wouldn't have been valid for the curl request. I must be doing something wrong with spotipy.

I was looking over the first kata i did on codewars, and I thought it would be fun to try and solve it in C. The object was to return a string based on a boolean input. it took a lot of trial and error, googling, chat gippity, but I eventually got it to work. I am still focused on learning python, but I've had it in my mind that I should branch out once I've reached a competence plateau in python. I'm nowhere near that plateau yet, but this seemed simple enough to warrant the necessary investment in time to accomplish it.

// C:
#include <stdbool.h>
// FIRST EVER C PROGRAM
const char *bool_to_word (bool value){
// you can return a static/global string or a string literal
  if (value == 1){
  return "Yes";
    }
  else{
    return "No";
  }
}

I realize this is pretty trivial, but still, it's a milestone for me and I wanted to do my part to get the ball rolling on this community.
