@overhangio As open source maintainers, you have the power to support Ukraine. Use it.

The Edly family just got a little bigger! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve acquired @overhangio Read more about this acquisition: bit.ly/3GIZW2S #Edly #Overhang #Education #EdTech #Acquisition #onlinelearning @regisb @yasserbashir

@RahulEapen96 @edXOnline @OpenEdX Running Open edX (with Tutor) off of Digital Ocean should cost you $50/month in hosting.

I think one of the best in providing edu tech services in the world is @edXOnline , I was hoping to provide @OpenEdX could be setup in school and colleges for free, so they can have access to courses on premises. But unbearable cloud rates also had to be considered. Any solution

@__97bee Yes.

@__97bee Ah yes. The alternative to Docker was the native installation, which was worst (IMHO). Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about your Internet connection problems. Are you running on a server or your home connection?

@__97bee Out of curiosity, which issues did you face? In our defense, Tutor is complicated because Open edX is. Believe me when I say that we try very hard to keep it as simple as possible.

I just published an article about the history of @OpenEdX project, git cli was more useufl that what I thought! ghassan.blog/posts/openedx-…

@overhangio As open source maintainers, you have the power to support Ukraine. Use it.

As of today, access to the Tutor documentation, forum and commercial website is blocked for users from inside Russia and Belarus. Requests are redirected to westandwithukraine.overhang.io We strongly encourage other open source maintainers to do the same.

@MrGrob Me too! CS50 Introduction to Game Development (from Harvard) learning.edx.org/course/course-… This course is a little bit advanced, as it does not cover the basics of programming. Also, the formatting is a bit of a pain (2h-long videos). But the content is awesome.

my usual workflow dealing with python errors 1. google the problem 2. find out that @nedbat filed an issue two years ago about it latest example: github.com/pypa/setuptool…

@abursuc @CSProfKGD I remember some very famous people from the computer vision community in that very room who argued that CNN worked so well only because there was "a bias in the data". This made me hysterical.

@abursuc @CSProfKGD It's really cool to be reminded of that moment, thanks for that :) With hindsight, I'm really glad to have been there at that presentation, and very proud to have understood what a watershed achievement it was.

What were your initial thoughts at the time of #ComputerVision's "ImageNet moment" in 2012? Share in thread.

@dckahc Serious question: why did you pick the Bitnami image and not the Tutor-based official installation?

Tried to be an amazon deployment specialist for a day. Failed terribly. Wasted my time working on (and failing to) installing a working version of #OpenEdX on #AWS. Anyone has experience deploying OpenEdX successfully on AWS with #Bitnami stack? PM me please

@freling Yes, exactly :) it took me a long while to figure out this one...

Python trivia which I just accidentally discovered: x: 1 This is valid Python 3.6+ code. Can you guess why?

Also, and that should be a big clue, the code snippet raises a SyntaxError in Python < 3.6.

Note that `x` does not have to be a defined variable.

Serious question: given that Docker support sucks on Mac OS, and it's even worse on ARM, and it's not changing for the better, why do devs who run Docker keep buying Apple laptops?

Clever: use Django’s stack trace formatter with Python’s logging facility, to get stacktrace.html files: discuss.openedx.org/t/convenient-s…
