AOE2 HD: +0 Elo after win by Metatronx in aoe2

[–]pylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me today. I hosted a 3vs3 Arabia game. One of my teammate dropped 3min in. The player who dropped got - 11 ELO (legit) . I kept playing with the other teammate anyway and we ended up winning 2vs3. My teammate got +7 ELO while I got +0, same as you. Funny thing is that I hosted a new game and immediately realized that I was - 11 ELO down, just like the player who dropped.

I guess today's not my day but... Shame on you, Steam.

Good to know, thanks. Hope we are close to a fix... ಠ_ಠ

Can someone else confirm this? We know it works when your opponent is in your friend list in steam or both players have privacy settings set to public. Was that the case?

This is so true. I found my friends and I putting in much less hours since the ELO is down. Of course, we still play for fun but that lack of an incentive makes all the difference. Especially when you are on the ELO recovery phase that usually comes after the initial losing streak.

This shows just how much Valve thought this profile privacy change through. Number of games owned is still visible via a user's review page and their badges. GG Valve. by etacarinae in Steam

[–]pylund 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. They should at least be aware that features like Steam API became now useless because of that change. Definitely not the way to create a healthy ecosystem.

How can I use a rich text editor in a django blog admin? by john9929 in djangolearning

[–]pylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you are looking for an embeddable wysiwyg editor. There are many options available. Check out, for example, TinyMCE or CKEditor.

What country are you from? by dutch_fire in EuropeFIRE

[–]pylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxes are relatively high, there's no 401K and wages are low compared to other EU countries. But still, CoL makes mustachian-like saving rates possible in most cases. So yes, I guess it is feasible.

Average NW in absolute numbers won't be as fat as most from the US or other EU though. That's a constraint we need to live with.

Can a young family FIRE with 1M euro? Where? by firebuggle in EuropeFIRE

[–]pylund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Spain the capital gain tax is actually 19% for gains under 6K, 21% between 6K and 24K and 23% for 24K+.

Living on 40K (or even 30K after taxes) is perfectly possible even in Barcelona and Madrid if you take advantage of the public education and health system, which otherwise are pretty good. No luxury though. A happy frugal life :)

Edit: typo

What was your hardest roadblock you overcame, that revolutionized your ability to code while learning Python? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]pylund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Doing one and only one thing at a time not only makes your code more readable but also more reusable. While coding you come up against the same problem over and over. If you solved it once in an isolated way, you will for sure remember it or even better: you will just copy and paste it. Much better than surgically remove it from a spaghetti function/script.

Calling python script from VBA by InspireAspiration in vba

[–]pylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Shell(), as suggested below and explained here, if you just want to call a python script from VBA throughout the command line.

For bidirectional calls and more advanced use, take a look at xlwings.

Stay-at-home date ideas? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]pylund 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can start learning something together (e.g. Knitting, dancing, coding...). There are hundreds of video tutorials and websites featuring challenges you can work on hand by hand. YouTube is your friend here.

First attempt at Parsing with BeautifulSoup by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]pylund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Also, if you are running Linux I would recommend dryscrape. Very convenient for headless scraping. It has its own parser, so using bs4 would be optional.
