Good day Everyone!

I have to take my kid to a doctors appointment. I am not sure I will be able to attend todays DB session but I will join here for the discussion late.

Hi Everyone

hi all

sethu_payilagam: No worries, Classes will be held on monday,wednesday and friday on every week

Tommorrow will be our day 2 of postgreSQL

Hi Shrini - Today updates : Done with Exception Handling blog, IRC blog-80% finished. So before tomorrow evening planned to work on homework and some backlog

So DB Classes on alternative days only?

sugi: yeah sugi

ok

hello all

good morning/good evening

sethu_payilagam is writing on eat that frog

dont miss to read it

thanks sethu_payilagam

sugi: got your updates from the logs

thanks

Varun777:

Varun777: any updates from you ?

yesterday we were discussing about the parquet file format vs the csv

yes, shrini

can you share more on the choise of parquet format?

I focused on adding news content in a row, instead of separate text files, which I need to file_path where text files are stored

in a csv

hmm

then ?

so I choose parquet also reduces size of dataset size as compared to storing data on separately in a txt file

coming about updates

can we read the parquest files using text editor?

please give both the versions then

text file is good for many things

easy checl

check

word analysis

word frequency analysis

etc

we can do many thing with plain text files

its ok to get the content as individual files

Hi Shrini

No shrini, we cannot read anything in a text editor

each article can go on a seperate plain text

we have import either pandas or pyspark package inorder to read content

on top of the article, give the metadata like, date, title, autor, category, tags etc

Varun777: give both text file and parquest

for me, txt is enough

hi sugi

how are your tasks going on?

shrini-weechat: I have 2 doubts. One is gitlab snippet created but for embedding in wordpress, we should have some plugin - for that account should be upgraded - read

ok shrini: but for training models parquet is more useful

shrini-weechat: tasks - good

created code snippet in gitlab but could not embed in wordpress, still inside /code only pasting

oh ok sugi

then try github gists

create an account in github and use gists to store the single page code

you can copy and paste the gist URL into wordpress to embed it

oh OK Shrini

And another doubt : Is there any rule or guidelines for kanchilug and ilugc emails? Where can i find it?

Thank you, Varun777! I will join tomorrows session

Thank you, shrini!

sugi: there were mailing lists guidelines on ilugc

will find and share

one more personal best happened yesterday.. thanks to you and mohan43u :)

thanks shrini

the same is for most of the mailing lists

for the first time, I completed reading 200+pages in one stretch ;)

:)

wow. sethu_payilagam eat that frog book?

or duruvangal ?

:-)

No shrini. that has got just 119 pages..

yes Dhuruvangal.. and it is going non stop :D

nice

that is one of the wonders in tamil tech world

honestly that is my longest i had ever read in my entire life..

good

read some more tamil books regularly

then pick velpaari

I do not know much about mohan43u or anyone in the group.. but I doubt that Madhan is you based on your passion on linux :D just kidding

you will take leave to office and read velpaari, just like i did

shrini-weechat: ok shrini, let me join tomorrow. Thanks

ok sugi

useful for people who write blogs and post the links on mastodon: rknight.me/blog/stopping-mastodon-from-fetching-metadata-for-my-notes

thanks

sethu_payilagam: hahaha

I will be happy if i am madan

i even asked Muthu sir.. do you know who that character is?

and with the strange coincidence your finishing statement for yesterday is about terminal.. and I was just finishing the statement from Madhan's friend saying he will watch even movies in terminal :D

But amazing writing.. especially for an amateur reader like me.. the author maintained a nice balance.. I hope I will complete it before I complete eat the frog :D

:-)

complete duruvangal first

Sure shrini

you can see it like a movie in mind

100%

sethu_payilagam: if you come near toronto or mississauga, let me know

we can meet

sethu_payilagam:

sethu_payilagam: you can give the duruvangal review in kanchilug meet

as one of your talks

sethu_payilagam: I told you to allocate time yesterday before touching that book, you see the effect of that book now :)

Sorry Shrini.. stepped out for a few mins

Sure. I will mostly come to Mississauga this Saturday. If it is confirmed I will text you Shrini.

sethu_payilagam: you can give the duruvangal review in kanchilug meet - No shrini

that is pure emotion and very soulful. Not sure about anyone else.. but i dont want to give a review.. especially me being a beginner

very true mohan43u :) My wife started doubting me :D

pardon me for using Tanglish: ivan avlo periya padipaali lam illaye.. yeppo paaru padichite iruka nu :D

it is like i will close it after reading this part.. and it goes on and on.. the beauty is whenever the reader like me feel that "it is going a bit more technical" the romance part kick in.. that's why i said.. he strike the perfect balance.. amazing.

:-)

i will stop here from my non-stop typing.. as it might be too much.. :) Let me continue reading ;)

give the book to your wife too

your talk can be as "reading experience of duruvangal"

no need to be a perfect review

just share what you feel

why shrini? she will then think too much and ask "remembering all your past memories" ;)

though there isn't any :D

hahahaha

give it a try

I will try shrini.. but i will complete it first..

many non tech readers, enjoy the romance part and get to know about what linux can do

exactly..

forgot to mention.. it took so much time to interpret what ஐலெக்சி is.. infact took more than 30-40 mins.. i was searching for all possible combination in internet.. as i couldn't proceed without knowing wat it is.. author could've been little kinder by providing the english version of it in brackets.. he didn't mention that anywhere.. :D :D

i said i will stop it.. now i promise.. i will not type anything more on this topic for today ;)

may be ILUGC 🤔

yes Varun.. i found it finally.. but thought i wouldn't reveal here for the sake of other readers ;)

sethu_payilagam: no need to stop, keep pouring your enjoyment as you read, we all had that same feeling when we read that book

Thanks mohan43u. I have this practice.. may it be movies, songs, anything interesting that i come across.. i will not stop talking about it. recently one such experience was watching Meiazhagan movie.. became so close to my heart that I did not stop talking about it for close to 2 weeks..

after that i feel the same about this book.. though i just completed 200 pages :)

sethu_payilagam: keep sharing. thats what the human nature is

that what the entire FOSS ecosystem is built on

we can improve it and do a new release

please provide your inputs on the required changes

like some intro about ILUGC

add any more points

we the longtimers here, know most of the things

we can not see as fresh eyes

so, your feedback will help a lot

That always helps shrini.

note down all the changes you need and write them in your blog

or send email to me and the author

will fix them and do a rerelease

recently i came to know you're reading eaten frog is it a self help book

its a book about time management techniques

that we can follow easily

Sure shrini. I felt the author had intentionally left that unexplained and make the reading even interesting.. definitely a reader can't go past that without knowing what it is.. and will search for it.. this is my version of authors intention

youre telling about thuruvangal sethu_payilaga:

it is true

i read a random chapter posted in tls

it is worth reading

/tlc

hariharan-wc: hope you have completed thuruvangal

how is your weechat experience?

enable mouse

it has plenty of addons

its very good

no fancy sounds just a cling

for new messages

enable notification plugin script, so that you will get notified when someone mention your name

:-)

I had connected with slack for my office chat

multiple channel switching using just keyboard shortcut not need to using the mouse

so lightweight

ohh

nice

is it able to connect my telegram and whatsapp

?

no for whatsapp

has some connectors to telegram

teelgram-cli is another cool tool

ok i will lookinto later

how is the user engagement on odoc-tamil in kaniyam.com

we dont get any comment for kaniyam

but people will read it

i will try to share these in the social media

in my personal blog i will see reading statistics every month via mail

like wise i asked 10 users reads this post 20 users reads this post

thats done by jetback

balakrishnan -kanchilug is working on post everywhere script right ?

not sure he started

we need some automation using selenium to post the content in many social media

if free api available we can prefer thats as first choice

selenium automation can be second choice

yes, api is available for some

for some not availbale

selenium automation is little expensive and not work as expected some times there will some restriction will interrupt and break the automation

twitter, linkedin , mastodon provides api

youre posting on your linkedin using apis ?

manually

I tried api

it broke after some tie

time

so, currenly doing manually

for fb, twitter need to read the docs on how to use the api

it seems twitter is currently being simple of them

that too become complex after X

mastodon is simplest

while iam starting a facebook page i publish the blogs links whenever i publish in wordpress

using the jetpack

automatically

recent facebook policy changes due that my page was blocked

i have requested for a page review

yes, too many changes nowadays

thats why I feel seleinum can be easy

one way to do in all platforms

may be slower

but, can be done

without going through the policies

yes I agree but they change the button positions freequently to annoy the automation testers : )

oh

thats tiring then

thats why i say selenium is second choice

we do 1 month effort to publis a facebook page post automation the simply change the id or location of the button underneth or somewhere else our code will be broken

:-(

they dont want automation

going through the api process is good then
