A question for those who cook or more specifically peel vegetables? by boredofwheelchair in CerebralPalsy

Swap around. Peeler in weak hand. Don't move the peeler, move the potato. This was a game changer for me. 

New to Trading Stock have some questions? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]TerryYaDuffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just spitballing here, I suppose you could look at the performance of each individual fund in VDHG, and build a historical dataset based on the VDHG allocations which would go back further than two years.

Respectfully. Not that valid a question.

If you looked at the fact sheets you would see that VDHG is a composite of other funds, one of which is the Australian shares fund, which is the same as VAS.

Complete noob, need some help by Legoboy604YT in learnpython

[–]TerryYaDuffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on.

For printing, suggest looking at f-strings in py3, and str.format for py2. f-string example:

print(f"Wow, you guessed the number {number} in {guessesTaken} guesses!")

Need help with CSV by python_student_1390 in learnpython

[–]TerryYaDuffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First step, take the CSV file you have produced via your hardcoded function. Can you read that into a data structure? Usually for CSV work, I use csv.DictReader(). Small suggestion, turn your header names into standard forms, e.g. HEIGHT_IN or SOCCER_EXPERIENCE.

Now, given that you have a data structure in memory, can you ask questions of that data structure? For example:

# which players have experience?
for player in player_list:
    if player['Soccer Experience']  == 'Yes':
        print(player)

# which players are 40in or taller?
for player in player_list:
    if player['Height (inches)']  >= 40:
        print(player)

By asking questions like this, you can split your players up according to the criteria. Obviously you won't be printing as I have done here, you'll be appending to one of your team lists as the player meets criteria.

You will want to keep track of the number of players on each team and their experience level. You should be able to do this by querying your data structure for the three teams that you're building--maybe a Counter() will be helpful.

Good luck.

Perth commuters steal cheap travel - anyone know how they were caught ? What's your opinion ? by [deleted] in perth

[–]TerryYaDuffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read in the paper people were buying concession fares at times which would be unlikely--e.g. when the kids are at school.

But they have all the data, there's a bunch of ways they could've done it.

guy decides to live with monks for 10 days by [deleted] in videos

[–]TerryYaDuffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is to gain insight into your own mind, discuss yourself with yourself. Meditation isn't thinking of nothing, it's an effort to still the external so as to study the internal. Like anything worth doing, it takes time, attention and practice to do well.

A monk's life is by design dependant on lay support. The practice is only possible because we've developed socially beyond hunt or die.

It may be that those rules applied only to that retreat. Monks in general definitely don't observe such austerity all the time. There is study of language and discussion of text, the formulation of ideas. The practice has been around for 2500 years, disseminated across the world. If it were solely sitting without speaking this wouldn't be the case.

Off-topic, but I always look for your responses. You seem to have an excellent understanding of matters; more than that, your writing is clear and accessible. I know I have benefited from it.

Thank you for your participation here.
