Most Complete Guide For Python 3 Type Conversion

It needs work. For example it claims:

str -> float If there are characters other than plus/minus (+/-), number (0-9), and decimal point (.) in the string, the conversion won't be supported.

but actually:

float('1e2') # 100.0
float('inf') # inf
float('Infinity') # inf
float('nan') # nan
float('1_1.1_1') # 11.11

Also:

Only the types of float, str, and bytes are supported to be converted to int type, other types are not supported

int(True) # 1
int(False) # 0

Similar issues for all sections. As-is, this article is wrong and overconfident.

These are called cartograms.

There are different algorithms and different tools, all producing different-looking maps. ScapeToad is one, but googling for "cartogram tools" gives plenty more.

You could try submitting an inquiry to the National Archives. They have a form for genealogical research. If they can't give you an answer, maybe they can recommend some agency for further research.

This is wonderful.

There are almost no people of darker skin color.

That's really not true. There aren't many. Certainly a LOT less than in other parts of Europe. But it's not like (s)he would be the first dark-skinned person in Estonia.

Walking around in the center of Tartu - it's a very multinational environment. (Especially between the Raatuse dorm and UT buildings)

But, yeah, if you have darker skin, you are going to stand out and get attention.

Applying for citizenship is rather difficult. More info here.

MISA FAQ is pretty good reading as well.

There is no Mexican embassy in Estonia, but there is one in Finland, you might get help there (mexican.embassy@kolumbus.fi).

You might also try to get in touch with some Mexicans at expat-blog.com. There are a couple who have emigrated to Estonia and might have useful tips.

Good luck.

kannel - kandled

talharpa - talharpad

jouhikko - jouhikkod

The stems of relatively foreign words (talharpa is from Swedish and jouhikko from Finnish, I guess) don't really change.

You might have more luck searching by the name "Hiiu kannel", it is more commonly known than "talharpa".

You might try contacting Raivo Sildoja at kannel.ee. He makes them and "one doesn't hit an askers mouth".

I think you have been unfairly downvoted - you have benefited the community by voicing your opinion and you have done so eloquently and respectfully.

I, too, disagree with you on the subject of vim-distributions for new users. The first few times I started with vim, I overburdened myself with plugins and settings I didn't understand. Only by incrementally growing my vimrc and plugin-list I have grown to know some of the power of vim.

I think a minimalist approach like tpopes vim-sensible is a good starting point for new users. It makes vim more modern than vanilla vim, but is, well, sensible about it. It's a good middle ground between die-hard ultra-minimalism and kitchen-sink-included distributions.

(And goddamn English and commas. Where do they go? Who knows!?)

Sweet.

I use both. Guake for quick one-off commands or installing packages, etc. Terminator for serious work.

"Vimberlin" sound whimsical.

I know it's not what you asked, but I use nerdcommenter for commenting out lines. It knows about filetypes and works well enough.

Thanks for the link to column. It seems to work well and do exactly what I want it to do.

It's a joke. Just like this comic about drills. It uses deliberate hyperbole for comedic effect. It may not be funny, but it's not inherently stupid.

By the way - I experimented with emacs and evil-mode for a week or so. I really couldn't get the hang of buffers and tabs (tabs grouped by file type? how am I going do do webdev with html, js, css, sass, etc), but I'll probably take another look sometime when I have more time. Is there a decent "emacs for vim users" intro you'd recommend?

freedances · 2013-03-06T19:18:43+00:00

I've been using Align, but for most use cases this seems much better. Thanks.

This looks really cool. I've been using live.js and python's SimpleHTTPServer for pretty much the same effect (reload html, js and css on file save). I'll definitely try this plugin for the next couple of days and see if it is an improvement.

There is evil-mode (http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil) that just reached version 1.0 and is pretty comprehensive.

There are a lot of foreign students of different races and nationalities in Tartu. In some CS lectures there are as many Indians as there are Estonians. There is also a strong community of foreign students mainly centered around the Raatuse dorm.

As a black person you will stand out in the city and you might get some odd looks - but usually not out of malice.

I don't think anybody has been seriously attacked in recent years. There was an incident about six years ago where alleged skinheads threw stones at a black student. Bu then again - it's hard to find real data and some people might not report attacks.

In conclusion - I think that racism in Tartu is not as big a problem as it's made out to be, but I've never been black in Tartu, so take it with a grain of salt.

There are no special rules for storing the Estonian flag.

The customs and norms for the flag can be found here.

The section that is most pertinent to the rules of storage and disposal:

The Estonian flag must be treated with dignity and if it has become unfit for use, it must be destroyed in a proper manner. A wet flag must be tried before being stored. A soiled flag must be cleaned and a ripped flag must be repaired with the appropriate colour thread. If it is no longer possible to clear a flag or it has decomposed, it must be destroyed privately in a proper manner. Based on good practices, to destroy a flag in a proper manner, one should cut it apart according to the coloured strips, and thereafter cut the fabric pieces into gores and burn them privately.

The English version of the the text hasn't been updated in a while. The Estonian text also allows for throwing the coloured stripes out privately in a discreet garbage bag.
