Creating a New Column Based on Other Columns from a Different DataFrame: A Pandas Approach to Efficient Data Manipulation and Analysis
Creating a New Column Based on Other Columns from a Different DataFrame In this article, we’ll explore the process of creating a new column in one Pandas DataFrame based on values from another DataFrame. We’ll use a specific example where we have two DataFrames: df1 and df2. The goal is to create a new column called “Total” in df2, which represents the product of an item’s value at 10:00 from df1 and its corresponding Factor.

Preventing MPMoviePlayerController from Rotating When Parent View Controller Only Supports Portrait Orientation
MPMoviePlayerController Rotating in Full Screen While Parent View Controller Only Supports Portrait Orientation In iOS 6, Apple introduced a new rotation API to help developers implement rotation and orientation support for their applications. This API provides a way to restrict the supported interface orientations for a view controller, ensuring that the application only responds to specific device orientations. However, when using MPMoviePlayerController in full screen mode, the rotation behavior can become unpredictable, leading to unwanted rotation of the movie player.
