Software developer's group

[pyesetz]

Yesterday I did something a little different: I attended a meet-up for software developers.  It was sort of like a furry meet-up in that most of the people present were of the feline persuasion and very few of them said anything.  Basically, a few people played "exhibitionist" and showed off their naughty bits software code to the people playing "

So how many people showed up? Were they all locals, or were some from outside of the KW area?

I use youtube-dl; it's in Python, but seems to work reliably.

I think there were eventually 11, after some folks showed up really late.  At least three were employees of the sponsoring company.  Nobody who spoke was from out of town, but I don't think they'd mind if you showed up some month.  You could show them your RVer Google Map thingy!

What does youtube-dl do if there's a download error?  That guy's program throws the problem-list into a directory for later retry (apparently he gets a lot of drop-outs on his connections, so it's nice that the retry will restart from the middle instead of redownloading the whole thing).

My RVer Google Map thingy is years out of date. I'm not writing any interesting code these days, just porting old crusty stuff.

IIRC, youtube-dl itself does not automatically re-run, but if you start it again on the same URL, it will resume the download in the middle (or tell you that it's already downloaded the entire video).

Nobody will care that your data is old - they're all about the code!

I've been showing only my old Company 𝔾 code from the 2006-2010 contract, in which I specifically retained the right to show off the code to peers.  The 2010 contract (which Mr. Bear wrote) doesn't say anything about that.
