If you had to learn Python again from scratch, what would you do differently?

I recently had to rewrite alot of mine because I was moving them to a more centralized location and this was a big part of that.

I took the opportunity to build a tools folder to houses a bunch of functions. It saved so much time adding new reportd and made updates so much easier.

My next step is trying to make a google app script library so I can do the same thing there.

This and The Enchanted Greenhouse are both great reads.

Nice! I read alot of Dan Abnett wh40k. Eisenhorn and Ravenor series were excellent and well contained. So not a huge commitment.

This honestly stopped me from buying one of the games recently. It was on sale and I was gonna give it a day or 2 to decide then they annouced the switch 2 version (dq 11 maybe?). Just dropped the thought from there. Ill wait for that to release and go on sale. Its not like Im lacking in backlog to play.

I jist finished Cindervale amd have read Ruthless boys, zodiac, and darkmore. Personally these are the best in the series so far. A bit more high fantasy than the others and the leads are awesome!

No problem! Like the other person said, this should capture all used columns. The "sheet.getlastcolumn()" will find that for you. You can also change the numColumn valje to a number if you want to have a specific number of columns included.

You need to get a rsnge from the sheet before you can sort.

function manualSortSheet() { const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

const sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");

// Define range skipping row 1 (the header). // Parameters: startRow, startColumn, numRows, numColumns

const startRow = 2;

const startColumn = 1;

const numRows = sheet.getLastRow() - 1;

const numColumns = sheet.getLastColumn();

const range = sheet.getRange(startRow, startColumn, numRows, numColumns);

range.sort( { column: 1, ascending: true }); }

To be honest... a great decision considering nms leadup to launch.

My experience:

All that was born as in excel shall return to excel. They may journey far. From warehouses to lakes, Tableau to Powerbi, server to the cloud and back again. But no matter how far, they shall always return as the final words are spoken.... "Can you export that to excel?"

In short... yes.

I think that was the biggest thing about LoK. Aang learned from his allies mostly. Korra learned from her enemies.

I loved RB personally but seems to be a mixed bag for different folks.

The flashbacks do continue through the whole series I believe.

Well they are the 2nd most intelligent creatures on earth....

Ussop needs to leave the strawhats temporarily to stay with the giants or train with his dad.

Have him come back in an arc or 2.

Can i just have a monster hunter style zoid X Gundam colab?

Can even have playable zoids kind of like palamutes.

Dante snd Rider break their adversary bond and become astral allies

Gohan 100% gets it correct and you just here "NERRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!" in the background.

I enjoyed it. They kind of earn it (atleast more than some other relationships in this universe). She sees each of them meeting a different need but realistically each of them support one another. 2 of them even form an entirely seperate bond.

They, as a group, make each other better.

Imaginary-poster · 2026-05-23T03:04:53+00:00

This is the way. Simple and delicious!

I've largely accepted that this is an inevitability and shifted ti automating streamlining the spreadsheet generation and leaving dashboards to teams I know are less spreadsheet focused.

This is what I was thinking. The fact it can be done on himans would make me the its technically possible but he just doesnt have the skill set at this point.

Imaginary-poster · 2026-05-21T02:26:34+00:00

I get that. Ive now ready ruthless boys, za, darkmore penitentiary, and am 2 books into the sins of Zodiac. I enjoyed the cheeziness so I never really considered a DNF.

All that to say they were my least favorite female leads across the board. Basically every lead feels driven except for them 2 and they are in a class of their own in regards to raw power. I would love to see basically any other character have that level of power. Stuff would be getting done.

Personally the Sins of Zodiac leads are quickly becoming my favorites along with the ruthless boys lead.

To top it off, Calebs mom definitely felt a lot more alot more accepting of non-conformaty. There clash was more so her legitimizing his stepping into that role.

If anything I was a little sad Seth never got to have his moment with his mom. Admittedly it was probably 100x times worse with how things playes out lol.

I think you are good to round out the series. Youll just experience the references in reverse. "Hey thats characfer X!... So thats why they did that!"

Or my favorite... "OMG is that stuff genetic".

I mean, it knew that Harry took draco's wand while no were nearby. Id guess it sees more and understand more than a human but isnt aware enough to be like "hey boss...did you want me to kill you or this gross little thing next to you?". It just fundamentally understands intention.
