UmbralRaptor: which WISE comet

OK focus done with the sensor on the finder, currently staring at M31 (but probably not going to image, I have a one-hour stack of it with this setup already)
<egg|anbo|egg_>
I guess I’ll leave this running so the sensor stays in temperature and come back in an hour and a half to two hours when C/2020 F3 is visible

like, I suspect that there are a bunch that don't *quite* work, but someone who is intimately familiar with them can do various tweaks and/or hand edits to actually get the data processed. And for some specific case, they might even do what they're supposed to

Will It Work | Alt-text: 'Copy and paste from a random thread on a website' is the hardest to predict, and depends on the specific website, programming language, tone of the description, and current phase of the moon.

I've become a fan of singularity containers for pretty much that reason
<e_14159>
(Also, no issues with different library reasons; that's why I force everyone to use them for cluster deployment)

e_14159: ... huh that actually looks pretty nice?
<whitequark>
i should investigate it

clouds seem unlikely to clear up (especially in the east) before sunrise
<e_14159>
whitequark: I'm very happy with it. Again, primarily from the PoV of deploying stuff to shared compute nodes, but I've also used it a few times to manage strange dependencies (most of the time, virtualenvs are sufficient for me)

virtualenvs are nice, especially with direnv

my coworker who is a little more zealous about tooling opinions actually commits his .envrc

direnv, SnoopJeDi?
<SnoopJeDi>
e_14159, it's for more than just venvs, but in particular it will activate/deactivate a venv in a directory if you set it up that way
<SnoopJeDi>
e_14159, so I do `echo layout python3 > .envrc` for a lot of my projects
<SnoopJeDi>
but it also lets you point at a specific interpreter if you need a particular version or a custom build or whatever

Ah, I see.

I usually manually activate them using pyenv activate, since I usually have multiple venvs for one project (the local dev venv, and the deploy-to-cluster-scripts venv)

[Principia] pleroy opened pull request #2637: A rough implementation of FFT - https://git.io/JJY6d
<SnoopJeDi>
I've done a tiny bit of pyenv integration with it, but not all that much, usually just `layout $(pyenv whence --path pythonX.Y.Z)`
<SnoopJeDi>
or something like that, anyway, I've stopped doing it since I don't actually care as long as it's 3.6+ for most projects
<e_14159>
SnoopJeDi: I lack an opinion on that, actually. I'm in the happy position of usually not interacting with either user input (except for my own) or much of library interaction.

same mostly, I only just discovered it because of the bump. I find it tickling that it effectively adds switch functionality, but it seems rather more profound than just a switch
