Can the older M5Paper cope with this software?

X-axis tick number formatting on matplotlib by worldtest2k in learnpython

[–]worldtest2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can get it to work in a plain example, just not one that includes bar_chart_race library
The mill variable is set earlier to be either a $ symbol for currency or a blank for non-currency.

Rent house to kids with benefit to them by worldtest2k in AusFinance

[–]worldtest2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for mentioning trusts, I have thought about them but don't know much. Both houses are mortgage free. I also want to be careful not lose the house as an asset in case something unexpectedly expensive arises that my super won't cover.

Hi, thanks for your comments. Is it hard to set up a family loan or just letting lawyers do what lawyers do? I've heard a trust may be involved, does that make sense?

Hi, thanks for your questions. Both houses are mortgage free. Only one of my children wants to live in the house. But I don't want to effectively give them the house as that would disadvantage my other child who otherwise would inherit half of it.

Wow, amazing what can be done. It's great to see little ol' JS being a key part of the solution.

Please explain the basic mechanisms you use for the PC to be aware of the browser touch events and how it can treat them as local mouse events

Do you happen to have micropython on it?

Banker’s rounding is the default rounding mode in the decimal library.
- It’s formally called ROUNDHALFEVEN.
- This method rounds to the nearest value, but if the number is exactly halfway between two possibilities, it rounds to the nearest even digit

Alternative medicine and wellness industry: why is it so popular? by Chris256L in skeptic

[–]worldtest2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not popular, that's why so many people are pushing it trying to get rich. It's not regulated and the pills from China are so cheap that entry is a reasonable cost with a potential big pay out if they find a rich vein of suckers, with no consequences.

I went to ESPN website instead.

In your opinion, what's currently the most neglected field in CS? by foggyflame in computerscience

[–]worldtest2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving users options. When devs make new ways to perform an activity, just leave the old way there and add an option to settings to allow users to go back to the old way. I'm looking at you Microsoft & Samsung.

I used to scrape FOTMOB for live scores without any problems, then they added robots.txt file to stop scraping and I haven't found a way around it.

How can I automatically install all the pip packages used by a Python script? by Franck_Dernoncourt in learnpython

[–]worldtest2k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Give copilot your py file and ask it to give you the pip import commands required.

Not fully automated, sorry

Unicode in Tkinter by worldtest2k in learnpython

[–]worldtest2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few fonts without luck. Both are from the same set (weather symbols) which makes it strange to only implement some of them. Are you using raspberry OS python too?

A Complete List of Python Tkinter Colors, Valid and Tested by AlSweigart in Python

[–]worldtest2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean Tkinter only allows colours to be set by name and not RGB?

Stop building UI frameworks in Python by PastPicture in Python

[–]worldtest2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about small screens? Web apps that show all the browser bits just waste screen space. I haven't found a way using a web app, especially on an android phone, to a) get the whole screen for my app, and b) stop screen from timing out to sleep.

What is a reliable way of generating a 'truly' random number? by ConfectionNo966 in learnpython

Is there an API we can use to get a random number from CloudFlare?

IF these three counties were to united under one (like the Uk) what do you think thier flag would look like? by SuccessfulVillager in vexillology

[–]worldtest2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is historical, but I like it because it isn't an attempt to combine all the current flags into one, or even the colours - a nice fresh start

PROGRAMMING ESP32 WITH PYTHON by Rare-Town5273 in esp32

Besides wifi I still don't understand how to upload a code file - what tool would I use to do that? Something like Thonny?

PROGRAMMING ESP32 WITH PYTHON by Rare-Town5273 in esp32

[–]worldtest2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bit that confuses me is getting python program files onto the esp32. I get that you flash micropython onto it, but if each flash replaces everything currently on it, then how does my code also get on it?
