Hiii

hi shrini

i had a intro about bootstrap in payilagam, but did not work on it, so let me try that

and let me connect after diwali - thanks

Hello all

Good morning Shrini

Update for today: I am able to output the bill to a pdf file. But the format still has to be fixed. But the functionality is working

very good learning :) in terms of how not to do things :D

:-)

That's the real learning

Try different paper size for PDF too

Regular a4

And the small one we get in local shops

Blog and code in git?

hello everyone

What library do you use for PDF export ?

Hello anish

i didn't make much progress today

me and my friends were doing a group project

That's fine

Nice

What is that project ?

it is path planning project using dqn and channel attention

What is dqn ?

Can you explain more about your project ?

i'm not fully aware of the project my team is working on

but i help them with python stuff

making csv files for the data produced

making the graphs with the data

nobody in our team was interested in taking the project but our co-ordinator forced us to if we had to pass

Hmm

so most of the code is also from github repositories

Any project is good only

By doing something only we can learn the basics

When learning, we should do only small projects

Building a project , from idea to a good working product , will give many learnings apart from coding

Nowadays, we can get code from many places

Stackoverflow, github, AI generators like chatcpt

Gpt

yes i know little about the project but the project they gave us is way too advanced right now with our knowledge

But, we have to be good at basics, then only we can build what we want

Most of the times it happens like below

i don't understand

We think like with our less knowledge, we can do only small projects

But by doing big projects only we will get more knowledge

Don't worry about project is big or small

Try to split into 100s of small parts

i will try my best

And start doing those small parts

All together combined, it will give nice experience and result

ok shrini i will work on learninng it as much as i can

on my first command i wanted to choose cd

i had some doubts yesterday

there are some directories which say permissioon denied if we cd went it

can we somehow use sudo to get into those directories or is becomeing root the only option

Becoming root is the only option

Its all based on the folder permissions and ownerships

ls -lh /

ok shrini i will update in blog

Run the above command and check the permissions of /root

sudo ls works but i wanted to know if we could cd

Explore about user, group, others permissions in Linux

We can do cd into /root as normal user or sudo

so we can cd if we alter permissions or file ownership

i will check it

Ok

in tamil linux community's youtube channel, watched the intro to databases presentation

it was by sethu_payilagam, i think? it was really good.

Yes

sethu_payilagam gave the talk

Nice one

yeah, very accessible to absolute beginners too

looking forward to his next

pwd: This command stands for print working directory. Like the namme suggests it is used to get the current working directory. Syntax = pwd

is this good enough shrini or can i make it better

This is good start

install tldr

then

tldr pwd

Give this to know most used options

Share them all too

amotbeli: any updates from you?

for TVA, metadata scraping, add the below feature

if we scrap a page successfully, store its url in a seperate file

shrini, i just watched that databases talk and am reading the configparser tutorial

if failed, write the url on another file

on next execution, skip the urls on the success file

finally rerun for the failed urls

take your time

hope the deepavali time will be busy for all

suji informed that she will join next monday

sure, shrini

Apologies Shrini. my office standup went overtime

Blog and code in git? - Yes Shrini. Infact captured a funny story during the debugging time as a separate post :)

nice

no need for apologies

ok Shrini

good to read this

share the blog posts link and git repo link here

many people are reading the chat logs daily

eventhough they can attend, they read the logs

giving the links here will help them to explore more

on what we are discussing here

Thank you shrini!

good to see the result pdf here

learn about configparse

and environment variables

get the db username, password, hostname from environment variables

should not hardcode in the code we write

make the PDF look like regular bill

shop name, address on top, with some big letters

then the table of items

one item per line with no, name, price, quantity, bill price

then at last, total in number and text

then thanks note

Sure Shrini. Yes, I too felt the same when hardcoding the connection string.

I will change it and post the next version soon

ok

sethu_payilagam: send mail to kanchilug on next talk details

for this sunday meet

link for one day one command

i will soon update them in the mailing lists also

bye everyone i have to go

Sure shrini

shrini: Kinda completed with the translation KaniyamFoundation/ProjectIdeas #218#issuecomment-2448099246

please have a look at it

there is still some mess with MD/HTML tags which i will clean sooner

Happy Diwali to all
