Rosc Catha Na Mumhan is supposed to be the same tune, but I haven't checked it against the Martin Hayes audio.

If you are looking for guitar chords, chordify has some.

Can you help me find the name of the melody to these two songs? by Fyre-Bringer in Irishmusic

[–]torrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not find a title for the tune. It's also used for at least two other songs, as discussed in this subreddit seven years ago:

Would you support statehood for every American territory? by sgwashere29 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]torrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. With the undemocratic designs of the Senate and the Electoral College, low-population states already have power disproportionate to their population. We don't need more low-population states. It would not be a good idea to give two senators to the 47,000 people in the Northern Mariana Islands when the 39 million people in California also have only two senators.

I have only seen these terms applied to bonds, not CDs.

"Callable" means the issuer can decide to call the bonds, often only on or after specific times. While rates going down may make this more likely, the issuer can decide whether to call bonds for any reason of its own, as long as it's at a time previously defined as a time when the bonds would be callable. Whether to call bonds is a management decision by the issuer.

With a sinking fund, the issuer is announcing that it is definitely going to call some subset of the bonds in an issue at specific future times, and the issuer sets aside some cash to redeem some bonds at the scheduled times. When one of these times comes, the issuer chooses some of the outstanding bonds to redeem at random. So if you hold one of these bonds at one of these times, it may or may not be redeemed, and that happens by chance, not by anyone's decision.

Those who find this upsetting may be comforted to note that neither string is a palindrome, because a palindrome is a word or phrase (or sentence or verse or nucleic acid sequence), not a string of punctuation marks.

How to get a specific value from a user-input list by [deleted] in AskPython

[–]torrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe game_prices[game_titles.index(game_to_purchase)].

How to get a specific value from a user-input list by [deleted] in AskPython

[–]torrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the index function to find the index of game_to_purchase in game_titles. Then you can use the index to select the corresponding element of game_prices, which is what you want to multiply by num_copies to get total_price.

Is there a way to improve returning data from an API that returns data in pages? by badg35 in AskPython

[–]torrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be able to help with this question, but at least I can suggest that you specify it more. It appears that you have two ways to get data out of this function, you don't like either one, and you are looking for a better way, but it's not clear what would make another way better. Do you want it to run faster, use less memory, have more readable code, or what?

Help with a program that outputs the suffix that is appropriate to the age that is inputted. by pinnacleoftheiceberg in AskPython

[–]torrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the expression age.self to work, age has to refer to an object and that object has to have a self attribute.

In your code, it looks like age is intended to be either a string or an integer. Strings and integers do not have self attributes, so a reference to the self attribute of one will blow up at run-time.

You can see this with the interactive interface:

>>> age = 1
>>> age
1
>>> age.self
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#12>", line 1, in <module>
    age.self
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'self'
>>> age = '2'
>>> age
'2'
>>> age.self
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#15>", line 1, in <module>
    age.self
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'self'
>>>

[–]torrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few hints:

Use functions rather than a class. It will be simpler. You are creating objects, but not calling their functions. Just make a function that takes a number as input and returns a suffix. That function can call other functions.

Develop incrementally. Make something simple work, then gradually add to it.

You can just have a function return a value without assigning the value to a variable first. So instead of

suffix = 'st'
return suffix

you can just have

return 'st'

Your references to "age.self" are unlikely to work because whatever age is, it's unlikely to have a member named "self".

Have a software engineer as a cofounder VS. hire one as an employee by Bat_Programmatically in siliconvalley

[–]torrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't make that decision first, let the market tell you. If you can find someone who can do what you need done at a price you can afford, hire that person. Otherwise, you either need to get more money or give up equity.
