The “badge” has a 2.8'' TFT screen, not just a couple of LEDs.

Does one? Because that's a line straight out of the MLM playbook.
One might also "wonder" why the only people with positive things to say about cryptocurrency are those with a vested interest in its success. That's not true of any other technology.

"na na sore loser" is quite the angle for someone bemoaning a lack of "thoughtful criticism."
Do try and grow up.

No it isn't. Which is presumably why they didn't use those words.

Your experience on mastodon is very dependent on which instance you're on.
There are 3 feeds - (1) home, your personal follows, (2) local, the people on your local instance and (3) federated, the people followed by anyone on your instance (+ stuff they boosted).
If you join a server somewhat aligned with your interests, you'll have a much better time.

Re:Show HN: Wooey Web UIs for Python Scripts
on Thursday March 26, 2015 @07:04AM (#9268777)
This a link to a live demo of a recently developed Web UI for Python scripts. It consists of three parts a) the `ArgumentParser` reader that exports the command-line definition from a Python script to JSON, b) the web front-end which turns this JSON into a web form and handles submissions, c) the runner which is a basic worker process that takes submitted form data and passes it back to the scripts to execute. Output is displayed back in the job viewer.
The use case for me was a quick way to get data-processing scripts (scientific research stuff) online with minimal fuss, but it can also handle anything else.
Manual definition of command line arguments is supported (e.g. for non-argparse scripts) and support for alternative command-line formats is planned.
Source and some brief documentation is available on https://github.com/mfitzp/Wooey.
