On Thursday, I continued with Week 2 of the Coursera course, which began exploring Pandas. While of course I knew some of the material, the videos, being longer, went much more in-depth than the tutorials I had read before.
The first couple videos dive into series in Pandas. These data structures store and index elements in a specific order. These tutorials were really fascinating to follow along with! After I went home, I decided to get a little more formal about my experimentation with Task Scheduler. I created a spreadsheet, in which I changed settings one by one and recorded whether or not the job ran on schedule. Through this method, I figured out that if I changed the settings such that the computer did not sleep when the lid was closed in the first place, it worked! While a good temporary workaround (all the jobs ran perfectly the next day!), this isn't the most power-efficient solution. Today, I remembered that I had been in a similar situation in the past -- where Windows settings looked fine, but the desired outcome (at that point it had been enabling my microphone and camera) wasn't being achieved. The solution to that was to go into my device(not OS)-specific settings, in which those elements were disabled. Now, I wondered if something similar was happening with the wake timers. However, it seemed like some settings were missing from the device-specific settings center, which was updated recently. This was confirmed by many online forums I read, some of which were from as recent as this week. Luckily, I should be able to switch onto the school's Ubuntu server in a few days! However, this was a good experience through which I got to strengthen my problem-solving muscles. Comments are closed.
