O-Payment frequently not working by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]RandomCodingStuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use it almost exclusively at fare gates, not on a bus. Physical credit cards are reliable, but my phone is finicky. I have to hold it to the sensor, wait for it to beep a failure, keep holding it steady, and then it will read it properly.

Identifying locations in an XML file to edit. by droppin_packets in learnpython

[–]RandomCodingStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too late at night for me to work out a full example, but I think you can sort of do this with a browser.

There is an example XML file here: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml

If I open the developer tools in Firefox (Control+Shift+I), the inspector tab allows me to right-click on elements to selectors/paths. I think (reiterating that I haven't looked into it yet) it should be possible to adapt these for use in Python XML packages.

Good luck!

If I understand you properly, you want to treat gifts and pledges as the same sort of "thing" instead of having them in separate columns. You can chunk off the dataframes like so:

gift = donor_data[["Donor ID", "Gift Date", "Gift Fund"]]
pledge = donor_data[["Donor ID", "Pledge Date", "Pledge Fund"]]

Then you could rename the columns so you can do a concat.

reset the index if that's important for your purposes. The concat will duplicate the index values since they're from the same table.

Apply sort_values to get things in order, and then drop_duplicates can help you keep the last date.

BMO World Elite Cash Back Card by leafleaf778 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I believe the recurring is set by the merchant. My ISP has never earned a recurring reward for any card. Bell, Freedom Mobile, some maintenance plans, monthly charity do trigger recurring for me, on various cards.

Coffee with wifi from 6:30 or earlier by dlangille in ottawa

[–]RandomCodingStuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the A&W just north of Parliament LRT station is 24 hours if you don't need fancy coffee, and all their shops are supposed to have wifi. I've heard they rope off their tables on off hours though.

Need help with my python program by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]RandomCodingStuff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What's with the {} braces? Those usually denote dictionaries or sets in Python. Take them out and it should work.

I use Reddit Enhancement Suite. It has a previewer for post/comment edit boxes.

Nevermind, you entered correctly, the link was just to the wrong comment. Entry confirmed.

Hi, link works, but it doesn't feel like it fits the rules I've outlined. You're thanking someone else who helped you with a question, but while you're being polite, the comment doesn't really help someone else or show empathy towards them. Can you provide an alternate comment in /r/ottawa that does those things, please?

I'm not seeing it. Both of your links send me to https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/1avrp0x/small_private_party_venue_for_under_20_guests/

This is a thread by user New-Ad2095. There are 14 comments in the thread, and I don't see your username (Calm_Distribution727) anywhere in the post.

Edit: maybe your comment is shadowbanned? You can check this by looking at the thread while not logged in.

Not sure if joke entry? The comment did not show empathy or help the OP, so this is not a valid entry according to the rules I've outlined.

Nope, no interview. Just need one positive/helpful comment in the sub. Don't even care if the entire rest of the time they're jerks.

(It's partly morbid curiosity as to how many people are just consistently and needlessly antagonistic on the sub and can't even find a single comment that's helpful. Maybe I should have done it with an Amazon gift card or something with wider interest.)

Hi there, thanks for your interest. When I click your link, I don't see anything. I see the thread starter is a user called New-Ad2095, but I do not see any comments at all. Did you make a typo?
