I've got some years of python+data experience through work, but the environments were always already set up. I installed various pythons on my own laptop (RIP, asus strix), but it was something like the basic python from official site, via the conda installer, and various updates and packages over time. Needless to say, it was not a production-worthy environment, but it let me do my own hobby projects just fine.

I recently got a new laptop and am looking to install python "correctly" this time so I can work on more substantial projects. I mean like, clean install, proper PATH (though I don't know wtf this means), virtualenvs, all that jazz.

Can anybody recommend some guides or walkthroughs

There was a super fun mod for Starcraft 2 called "Island Defense" where each player picked a "builder" and 1 player picked a "Titan". The Titan's job was to kill all the builders, while the builder scurried around and gathered resources (wood, and gold from the goldmine in the middle of the map) to build a base to try and stop/kill the Titan. Each race for both sides had different abilities.

It was tons of fun, and I was wondering if anything like that exists (or could exist, I don't know much about the capabilities of the Dota2 custom map engine) in the Dota2 arcade. Anyone remember that mod and know of anything available or in the works? Would love to play it again.

I'm hoping someone here can help because I cannot wrap my head around this one:

I have an excel workbook I need to read with python, chop up into a handful of smaller sections, and export each of those into CSVs (to be loaded into tables in a database). Most of that is straightforward pandas goodness, except this kicker: the excel sheet is messy so I'm having trouble defining the size of those data chunks.

Example of first/key column in excel:

(empty)

(empty)

user_id

1111

1113

1114

1115

1116

(empty)

It's straight forward to

excel = pd.read_excel(filename, skiprows=2)

in order to ignore the first couple of empty cells, b

If you find yourself running a specific team comp, or not using a particular class, then no need to buy unused sodas. Realizing this reduced the number of times I'd have to re-roll the tavern tremendously. The custom tap upgrade's 500M price tag is quite high, so this helps in the meantime.

This is great when you're making your way through D1-D10, but I hit WD last night and still am only running on 3 sodas (for now).

I played Reactor Idle some years ago and recently got the hankering to try it again. I have 2quad in the bank with City unlocked and getting 5billion a tick running off 2 fusion cells (with lifetime upgrade). I also have Region running off 25 thermos making 1.25bill a tick. Island and village are running full research.

The question is, where do I go from here? It took spending almost 1quad to get City upgrades to run those 2 fusions so I can't see any reasonable window for RoI in SHC. Maybe poking around with (expensive) upgrades, I can increase fusion output in City?

Also, my research is now a crawl. I had City full research to get groundwater pumps, but then built it out to make cash sin

You know, so the rest of the Reddit knows they're not fitting the community ideal. Maybe like a little star by their username. You could make it yellow to match the quarantine flag.

I'm pretty new/b: got to where I can idle/auto GRB, did the basic and 24 hour challenges, and then plowed through the other 4 basic challenges to finish that off.

My question is, do I need to hold on to these maxed Cheese or Magitech sets? My GRB gear is lvl 30-40, and I haven't swapped it out for quite some time, but I don't know if these old sets will ever be useful again.

Any advice is appreciated! I guess the next thing to do is increase energy in order to continue creeping up to the Clock area?

Grew up always socially awkward, but practiced hard to appear "normal." It's hard to keep it up all the time, but only in the past couple years have I been asked if I'm "on the spectrum."

Does anyone else get asked? Has it seemed to increase more recently for anyone else?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the credentials (client ID, client secret, auth link, token) a website has provided to make calls to its API to get data from it.

Does anyone have a guide they found particularly easy to follow they could share, or github repos that tackle the issue (n.b. make sure you gitignore'd your creds!!)? The documentation I've seen talks about creating a whole flask app to deal with it and I really hope there's a simpler way of just passing those things to some request object.

But maybe that is the only way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
