President Ark posted:Wait, really? I saw a preview for Mr. Robot before a movie once and figured it'd be all HACK ALL IP ADDRESSES TO DOWNLOAD THE INTERNET nonsense. Nope. It's pretty solid on the tech side, in that it uses the right tools with the right hardware and the explanations and techniques are (mostly) correct. Oh, there's some hand-waving here and there, but that's mostly for narrative reasons and not because someone was lazy. What I loved was the social hacking to get into the not-Iron-Mountain facility. I do post incident analysis at times, mostly for wireless events* (post-mortems and gap remediation write-ups), but come from a background of incident response and network forensics, and there's not been much cringe-worthy in this show so far. * - typically involves sending a note to the customer stating, "God dammit, stop using WEP! And while you're at it, buy equipment that came out of the factory AFTER 2011. An entire locations of APs that were EOL'd 5 years ago is NOT helping."

It HAS to be in excel so VBA it is. loving gently caress this language so hard why do they even call them classes. VBA needs a shovel to the back of the head and be buried once and for all. If they want to do any kind of in depth data analysis, there's tons of pre-rolled libraries and classes to do exactly that in just about any language you need. And it will probably do it faster and not accidentally eat your data from time to time. I wear two hats in my position and the second is designing our backend tools and systems for managing our clients and their data. My current 20% project is improving data presentation for the team and automating some of the initial analysis, so I've been diving deep into data informatics with Python lately.

Key requirement of this app is that it functions exactly the same as excel from a UI perspective. Users need to be able to insert rows and columns and have data dynamically recalc formulas on the fly while also being able to change formulas and data. I'm almost done with it but I just hate how i've had to do it so much it bugs me. Any libraries in Python that'll mimic excel on the front end?

There's couple of Excel plugins out there. xlwings is an open source product on version 0.3.x that looks like it has a vba library to act as an abstraction layer between your python code an Excel. The python library itself looks like it has methods to read and write to the data structures directly. And distribution seems pretty straight forward: Make sure the xlwings.VBA is imported into the spreadsheet, distribute with the python code and make sure they have python installed on the workstation. Bonus: It's in PyPI so you can get it via pip or conda. Here's the project page: http://xlwings.org The only other I've found that isn't abandonware is DataNitro which is payware. If you want make custom methods, you need a Analyst ($199/user) or Enterprise ($1499/10 user) license. https://datanitro.com To bypass Excel completely there PySpread. But it's for 2.7 branch only and you need wxPython. http://manns.github.io/pyspread/docs.html Found one more: OpenPyXL - uses LibreOffice libs to present the data. https://openpyxl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Sep 7, 2015 |

I think ill fall flat on this idea because it looks like it requires specific versions of Python installed on each PC or server and accessed that way. If im going in that direction, I might dig my heels in and force them to agree to some standards and build an internal webapp on the server. I'm up to 1500 lines of code not including "classes" and json libraries

Aunt Beth posted:This is why you need storage virtualization, like IBM SVC. Takes all the annoyance right out of doing manual upgrades and migrations. I'll take a look at it but in this case we use the hardware OEM from Quantum to run Stornext. Cause all the client machine are Macs running Xsan which was based off Stornext (but Apple made it bad). Anybody who works in video supporting an Apple Xsan ask me about how Stornext can make your life easier! I'll put you in touch with our sales team  Well mostly easier, it has its quirks but it is way better than Xsan and far cheaper (I'm assuming) than an Avid ISIS.

TBH I love working on holidays. There are few (if any) calls, and plenty of time to finally get on top of that goddamn documentation/scripting/reading I keep putting off. Of course I don't want all the holiday watches - I do have kids and a wife - but a few days are nice once in a while.

Maybe I need to restart watching Mr Robot on this premise. I was told it deserved praise mainly for its accurate portayal of an autistic protagonist, and stopped watching when it did not do so in the slightest. I am not autistic but I worked with a few on a job years ago. One was a silent borderline math genius, the other was your basic sperg. Very hard workers though.

Does anyone have an idea what can cause a user's logon to be immensely slow? The Windows log mentions the Profile service taking more than 200 seconds to respond to Winlogon's request. The delay is between entering logon info and seeing the desktop, i.e. the "Welcome..." screen. No roaming profiles are involved. Removing the local profile and having it re-created does not affect the problem. It happens on multiple machines. Nothing seems unusual in AD, based on PS Get-ADUser username -Properties *

The usual suspect is the virus scanner. You can find out more by starting Process Monitor, going to Options->Enable Boot Logging then rebooting and logging in. You'll get a 100000 line CSV export that you can then analyze in Excel to split up how much time is spent in which executable.

I was a temp so I wasn't eligible for the bonus storm pay, but the full time employees were offered unlimited overtime for 3x pay for an entire week. Even as a temp working for normal time and a half over 40 hours, I still worked 14-16 hours a day for a whole week and swam in cash.

It''s okay. I'm at work physically but not mentally. I've made some really stupid mistakes because my head isn't in the game. Doesn't help that I just got back from 5 days in Chicago. I'm just going to go back to intentionally not doing work and not even trying to hide it.

I'm working today, which fortunately not only includes the holiday pay, but overtime on top of it. There's a reason people volunteer, not get made to.  I'm glad today is both a holiday in America and Canada, since we get clients from both countries. It's not always slow when you're working on a USA holiday that Canada doesn't have and you're still busy. Malek posted:

Doesn't Lync/Skype default to whatever the Global Address Book settings are in Exchange? I admit, messaging servers are a black box to me. What's even more awesome is there's someone at my work whose last name is my first name and whose first name is my last name. Every now and then when his department adds a new employee I'll get a flurry of messages and IM requests.

evobatman posted:Monkey Comfort class, so it's like 2cm of extra legroom and my seat reclines 1 degree extra. eh, it's better than nothing. Remember to buy an "airplane-to-standard" converter for your Tablet/Laptop charger before you board. Or buy one from your standard vendor I guess. TICKET TALK: We use Dell Latitude E5440 for our students, and that's been discontinued. Experience shows that the Dells have had a somewhat large amount of repairs to the LCD-panels, while the ~800 iPads we're using for the smaller kids are almost entirely free from damage, in part due to the bumper case we're using but also because the screen is a lot stronger than your default laptop panel. Now we're looking at something with an equally strong screen and at a decent price, so I was wondering if any of you lot have any real-life experience with the Microsoft Surface 3 you'd be willing to share? Not the PRO-version, but the Atom-powered, eh.. non PRO. The PRO is too expensive to fit into our budget, but if the non-pro's CPU is decent for school use it could very well be a strong contender for the next purchase.
