Hello! I'm willing to be a DevOps/Systems Engineer! I can be remote or on-site in the LA county. I can be a freelancer/contractor or you can hire me for a full-time job!

Please contact me if you want a personal copy of my CV as well as three letters of recommendation! I can also supply more referrals!

Thank you for your consideration!


Great movie! So many big named actors in it! The director also did Field of Dreams!


I'm not a fan of baseball, but I liked Field of Dreams (at the age I was back when it would have made it to Australian TV).


I am a fan of baseball, and in 2021, there was a real MLB game played at the original filming location. It started with Kevin Costner leading the players out of the cornfield.


I had goosebumps, they nailed it.


This is kinda way off-topic, but that feeling of the "bringing back" something that had been lost to time that Field of Dreams provides, I get the same thing from the movie Midnight in Paris. Like a literally palpable warm, comforting, everything-is-alright feeling (mostly from the Salvador Dali encounter).


And the music is by none other than James Horner. He's a legend in film scoring.

quad9.net DNS servers are blocking freedomfromfacebookandgoogle.com domain... Interesting.

Might be a false positive probably because bad stuff came from the same subnet of the web server; might be just a byproduct of shared hosting


Don't mean to undermine this guy's screen-scraping adventure... but if you want to use something that will tell you all the streaming services that have the list of movies, you can use:

https://letterboxd.com/dvideostor/list/roger-eberts-great-mo...

You can look at each movie to see what streaming service it's on one at a time for free.

If you have a pro paid account, you can even do:

https://letterboxd.com/dvideostor/list/roger-eberts-great-mo...

Which shows that there are 39 movies in Amazon Prime US from Ebert's "Great Movies," not 21 like this guy's spreadsheet says.

To be fair, the exercise was to scrape the reference sources... so it might just need some refinement.

Need to double check though if both lists are correct, only confirmed number totals.

Full disclosure: That letterboxd list is not mine, I just found it


FWIW, I screen scraped rogerebert.com and copied all of his ratings and an excerpt of every review to letterboxd:

https://letterboxd.com/re2/

Just the great movies:

https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/great-movie/films/by/release-...

You can then filter those by streaming service, but you need a pro account. Looks like 38 movies:

https://letterboxd.com/re2/tag/great-movie/films/on/amazon-p...

Apparently I missed the Buster Keaton movies:

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-the-films-of-...

https://letterboxd.com/director/buster-keaton/

But that means 39 isn't quite right either since Ebert is saying all of Buster Keaton's films are great.

Anyway, the scraping was easy. The harder problem was parsing the html reviews (even with BeautifulSoup, the html is a mess), and then matching the reviews on Ebert's site to the correct movie, which I did via queries to tmdb and a lot of heuristics. There's nearly 8000 reviews and many have wrong years, bad titles, etc on rogerebert.com. It was a fun spare time project for a couple weeks.


Nice! Yeah, I wish letterboxd was free somehow without ads and they made their beta api public.

Yeah, I bet there's not a great standard for normalization/corrections of tiles, making a distinction of like when a movie was made and when a movie was released and translations and imports.

Good work.


I ended up using the director and cast that are listed for most reviews on Ebert's site for matching the right movie. Even that required some tricks due to spelling errors or differences in how names were listed. I then flagged any matches that weren't unique or where the title wasn't similar enough for me to manually review. I think I only had to double-check about a hundred or so.

I didn't use the letterboxd api. Instead, I generated csv files for the letterboxd importer. I then did a csv export from their site I could reconcile to look for import errors.

Trivia: Ebert reviewed a few adult films which I couldn't import to letterboxd because the site officially doesn't allow those.

BTW, it's only $19/year for an account. I have my own account I pay for which follows the re2 account. That way I can easily see any of the re2 reviews for movies in my own watchlist.


Yep, I caved and got an account last month too


I've added Buster Keaton's silent films from 1920-1929 since those are the ones Ebert is referencing in his review. That brings the total number of Great Movies available on Prime up to 43.


"Which shows that there are 39 movies in Amazon Prime US from Ebert's "Great Movies," not 21 like this guy's spreadsheet says."

I could be wrong, I am not a Prime Video user, but the result I got was that there are 217 movies in Prime Video from Ebert's great movies.

It's a similar story with LDAPS, in that LDAP+TLS starts off on a plain text connection to negotiate TLS, and it can be all the same port 389 (can be different port 636 too). You might be able to query too much info from a poorly configured LDAP server if it downgrades or sustains that TLS-less connection.

You still see people and software libraries preferring LDAP+SSL on the dedicated SSL port 636 even though the LDAPS+TLS is suppose to be the "modern" method and apart of the LDAP spec.


Seems youtube.com did some update that is making HTML5 video playback stop working with a loud squeak and no play, or dropping to Flash. I'm experiencing it myself.

Submitted link to YouTube Google Product Forums.

From initial post: About an hour ago, all HTML5 playback just stopped. I was running OS X 10.10.1 (now 10.10.2) and Safari 8.0.

Videos would either switch to the Flash Player, throw an error, make a loud "squeak" noise and throw an error, or just crash the Safari page outright and forcing a Force Reload.

I know this is unrelated to the recent Yosemite update, as this issue was happening before I installed the update. In the meanwhile, Chrome does work.


Is it "sometime today" or "some time today"?
