So I am experimenting with the Steam API & Flask and I am wondering the easiest way to handle it.

For example I might have a certain function that grabs someones Friends list and displays it. The problem is the request takes at least 500ms. This stalls the application for each API request. Obviously this couldn't work if you have more than a few users...

Would it be better to set up a task queue or is there an even simpler way of throwing the function onto a background process? Kind of like putting data processing away from the UI thread when making a mobile app.

And am I correct in thinking any kind of long running request will stall the application for everybody (assuming a single

This is simple but I cannot figure out an elegant way to do this...

list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
triangle = [[1],[2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9,10]]

What shape of loop is required to get from 'list' to 'triangle'. Assuming I want to do it to a list with thousands of values...

I know that the keys that come up in the Keyfinder programs are not what I am looking for. I get the standard Dell 7 Home Premium key.

Is there any way of getting the actual key ? I can read most of the letters on the sticker but there are a few that could be any of 3 different characters. Quite a few combinations anyway.

I want the key because I would like to get the upgrade offer but unless I have the key it doesn't seem to be possible.

(Always write down the key of a new oem machine and email it to yourself) Such a hassle.

I want to backup my iphone contacts but I can't download any iphone apps because I don't have the users password. I want to get all the contacts and then reset the iphone and sign in with my own apple Id. How can I simply get all the contacts? Is it possible by using iTunes because I am worried that it won't want to sync someone else's stuff to my own iTunes account. I tried to sync with Gmail but it doesn't work. On my Android phone the default contacts app allows exporting in a couple of formats and then you can just email the file. Thoughts?

For example. I like to have full volume for sms messages but would prefer a much quieter volume for Gmail and Facebook Messenger.

I tried looking at application groups but couldn't see an option for volume.

Surely this is an obvious feature. Why can't I find it?

It basically doesn't work for me. When the HDD is attached the bios screen stutters for 45 seconds and then loads Windows but the HDD doesn't show up at all. I have tried 3 different internal drives but all do the same for me.

What could be the problem? And is there a solution that could result in me having two drives working in the laptop?

It used to work but it no longer works for me.

I click on a youtube video and I see the player and the loading icon and it will all freeze within 1 second. The whole browser will freeze. I just end the plugin process and Firefox will respond. The same thing happens in chrome and ie. Same with BBC iPlayer and seems to be any flash video. I tried loading a flash centric page like http://www.wechoosethemoon.org/ and it seems to work fine.

I encounter it once every few days. I have a feeling it happens after some hibernation. The only way I have been able to fix it is to restart the computer. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling flash but it still happens.

Anyone have any advice?
