Creating and Amending Lists
July 04, 2018
A quick example that loops through a predefined list of colours and creates an additional empty list to which a ranger of numbers are added and then printed out.
colors = ['red','blue','green']
assets = []
for colors in colors:
print "The colours are: %s" % colors
for n in range(1, 10):
assets.append(n)
for n in assets:
print "The number is now: %d" % n
Boolean Rules
June 10, 2018
One thing I need to learn before I go further with Python is to thoroughly learn the logic rules. Sure, you can just learn the concepts but being able to write actual code will mean memorising these rules.
- not False = True
-
not True = False
-
True or False = True
- True or True = True
- False or True = True
-
False or False = False
-
True and False = False
- True and True = True
- False and True = False
-
False and False = False
-
not (True or False) = False
- not (True or True) = False
- not (False or True) = False
-
not (False or False) = True
-
not (True and False) = True
- not (True and True) = False
- not (False and True) = True
-
not (False and False) = True
-
1 != 0 True
- 1 != 1 False
- 0 != 1 True
-
0 != 0 False
-
1 == 0 False
- 1 == 1 True
- 0 == 1 False
- 0 == 0 True
Blockchain Hype
May 17, 2018
This happens with anything fairly new in the industry. Currently, Blockchain technologies are the magic fairy-dust that will solve all of the security problems, as well as validating everything from photos to news feeds.
Ersin Akinci writing for Medium:
So then why are there so many blockchain startups appearing? Two words: hype and monetization. The hype around blockchains makes fundraising easier if you’ve got one.
Back Again
May 15, 2018
Moved back to Panic's Transmit after a week or so with Sublime Text. It's too quirky and the workflow is odd. Sometimes more expensive is better.
