This is an international trade agreement being negotiated in secret. There are some very concerning proposals in the leak. Criminalisation of copyright infringement, legal protections for DRM, ISP liability, terminating internet access for copyright infringement, rules around patentable subject matter and rigid restrictions around exceptions to copyright. Once it's in trade agreements it's really hard to go back on, trade agreements often require signing up to a list of old ones. They stack on top of each other and stick around for a really long time. Choice have a petition to release the full text which I would strongly urge you to sign and pass on: https://choice.good.do/dont-trade-it-away/release-the-tpp-text/ Cheers, Bianca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Making, releasing and selling an indie game made in Python # Nathan Faggian -- Python and Supercomputers: Celery, Redis, Mongo If you have a tip to share, or want to give a short presentation on a library you've been using lately, please just come forward at the start of the meeting.

Thanks James I don't drive so perhaps not the best person to comment, but there is limited parking in Stewart St and the immediate vicinity. Swan, Cremorne and Lennox Sts all have a reasonable amount of on-street parking. Further up Swan St, there are some car parks, such as the one at Coles.

I know how to implement them myself and have done so before, but I'll look for a library first. It's for a migraine trigger analysis tool. I'm thinking decision trees largely because non technical and often unwell users need to be able to reason with the findings off line, and decision trees are easy to follow. My records will have varying entries. They may be making entries about eating chocolate, find it's not a trigger, then stop doing so. It would be good to have a confidence rating on the leaves.

At a glance it looks like the latest versions may support Python 3. My experience has been with Python 2. Kaggle have some online tutorials which include the use of sklearn for decision trees, which might help to get started. I can send more specific links if you can't find them easily.
