Does anyone know how to fix the stupid problem with https in themes? Yes, I already madethem all https, so anything else?  If I add so much as a period in my Alfred theme, it won’t let me do it and I’m anal about that blog and annoyed af.

Is there a way in the page inspection to scroll to the first TUMBLR messenger messages? If so, what am I looking for here?

Work Troubles

So today I was editing some code for the website I'm working on (not exactly true, but trying to explain the truth would probably be longer than the anecdote) So the code is more or less variations on a theme, just a list of items and their properties Unfortunately, I have to apply it all at once or the website decides to arrange them alphabetically instead of what i wanted to do So i check the code, and it comes up with an error. I know what the error means, there is a misplaced symbol in my code ($, * or the like) So i search for all the symbols i think might have sneaked their way in. I even look for doubles of characters and spaces where there shouldn't be No dice. This is becoming quite frustrating. I start to check small bits of the code at once (because it's technically one line [the website is a mess but that's another story] I have to cut and paste sections of the code) I check the first part, and it comes back with an error. I narrow it down further, and the error's still there I think to myself 'i must have found it!' and check over the code more closely Now, the items in this line are separated by the | character. I notice that when i cut this section up, i took the divider between the last item of this section and the next item Thinking little of it, i remove the extra |. I then come to a horrifying realisation. Scrolling down all the way to the bottom of the original code, i see right at the end, there's a |. I remove it, check for errors and this time it comes back clean. This was an annoyingly long time of troubleshooting, which was a 2 second fix. FML

my code is a fool because I am a fool, but I am trying not to be a fool so that’s something

[sciencefordragons]

brain is chugging at code problems and I have rewritten like only five lines because there are too many things I’m trying to fix at once aaaaaaaaa

Lovely great just gotta run the script all over again bc the list of observation IDs that was being made to query and download from HEASARC was skipping the first line and it heckin’ crashed itself because it only read one line in the data.dat file so it wrote nothing . 

np.loadtxt takes an argument called skiprows that I used to skip the first two rows in the file that the perl script makes, they’re just for formatting and aren’t important and make my code crash. HowEVER I was accounting for this twice when indexing the for loop writing the download script, because I wrote:

for i in range(1,len(obslist)-1):

when it should have started at zero and run the full list, like this:

for i in range(len(obslist)):

which means my code has been skipping the first observation for every galaxy. So now the sucker’s running AGAIN. *deep inhale*
