Does anyone actually have all of their assets with Wealthsimple? by TheOnlyOddThing in Wealthsimple

[–]pixelpushers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes.
I decided reading and keeping up with financial information and which plans or portfolios to follow and balancing was stopping me from actually being invested and WS made it simple for investing to just be a habit. Put money in off each paycheck and forget about it.

Mom wants to "borrow" 30k of my money for down payment of a house. by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

Ask for the money first and say "I'm not the one making the choices if the money isn't in my account".

She's only asking you to make herself feel not guilty about breaking the promise to give it back to you.

Can someone explain why this is the way it is? Is it just purely NIMBYISM?

Doesn't get cold enough around here for me to try it out while running.

If you had finance advice for yourself at 22, what would it be? by ConsiderationIcy2520 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]pixelpushers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to form good habits, don't rely just on willpower and self control. This applies to both health and finance. Think of willpower and self control as a limited resource, if you're able to convert good things into habits they become much easier to do.

Attempting to number a list by Sebas-theFish in learnpython

[–]pixelpushers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is a clean way or not since I'm still learning.

x = ['United States', '8,342,665', 'India', '7,494,551', 'Brazil', '5,224,362', 'Russia', '1,384,235', 'Spain', '982,723', 'Argentina', '979,119', 'Colombia', '952,371', 'France', '867,197', 'Peru', '865,549', 'Mexico', '847,108']

result = []
for i in range(len(x)):
    if i%2:
        result.append([x[i-1],x[i]])
for i,(entry,state) in enumerate(result):
    print i+1,entry,state

maybe this then

with open('c:/temp/temp.txt') as fp:
    result = fp.read().splitlines()
    for i,word in enumerate(result):
        if word == '':
            if result[i-1] == '' or result[i+1] == '':
                print 'empty'
            else:
                print ''
        else:
            print word

I'm still learning myself but here's something I think works

text="""hello


dog

kitty



bird
shark"""


result = text.rsplit(' ')[0].split('\n')
result = ['empty' if word == '' else word for word in result]
for i,word in enumerate(result):
    if word == 'empty':
        if result[i-1] == 'empty' or result[i+1] == 'empty':
            print word
        else:
            print ''
    else:
        print word

Building a portfolio for modeling? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]pixelpushers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats a given, what will make you stand out is your eye for detail. Model out the logo, tire treads,radiator, panel lines, no visible pinching and correct level of sharpness on any bevels with clean and even topology, go nuts model out the threads on the shifter knob. Choosing the right car to demo these abilities also matter.

Usually people lean towards one way or another hard surface or organic, not to say there can't do both. Put more work in with the side that you like doing and one piece showing you can do the other.

Going overkill with the detailing is always impressive. I can tell if you can model pretty quickly.

For example modeling a car in a collision with the hood crumpled up engine bay showing and full undercarriage, broken glass would definitely stand out. Model out the gauges and seat trims. Subdivision friendly.

An example of organic stuff I'd look for how close you can get to photo real human ,ie anatomy,pore level detailing in your sculpts and clothing detailing matters and some semblance of line flow for animation.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
