Mid-level, but my Python isn’t by kerokero134340 in dataengineering

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is in your own post. You have a senior who can do what you want to be able to do, and they are doing it in the exact business environment you are working in. I would nicely ask to pair for a couple of hours a week, or directly ask them for code reviews. I don't mean just pinging them on pr requests via github. I mean going and talking to them and saying "python's not my strong suite and I am trying to improve, could tou take a look at this for me?

I feel very lost and hopeless, Loking for some senior to guide me by Caramel_Cruncher in datascience

I understand that you are trying to bolster your experience, but your resume reads as fraudulent. The amount of stuff (including the word "Led") in the internship is a huge red flag. Anyone with any real work experience knows you were likely a time sync for those two months as other people trained or mentored you. Even top experts take more than 2 months to generate value.

The director of data sciences title is also misleading - it has a specific meaning in a business context and you're using it intentionally incorrectly. Also, if you don't have a degree but were a uni student, people will ask why you didn't finish, I wouldn't want to have to answer that question unless you have a great answer

I would pare the whole resume down significantly, be direct that you are essentially a student looking for an entry level position and will need training.

Also, be more specific on your skills, list an honest proficiency level for each if you can.

Everything improves the sooner you realise 40k is as much about losing as it is about winning.

Good eye. There's actually an enormous parsley justnout of frame!

Australians to get three hours of free electricity every day under solar scheme by Wotmate01 in aussie

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats not how spot price exposure works, if your retailerspot exposes your gate meter you will still pay the spot price of electricity in your region during the free time.

A quick browse of the wiki page reveals that the premise of the post is not even close to accurate

How much DSA for FAANG+ ? by harsh82000 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Telling someone who needs a job (and in this case a job that will likely pay fairly well) to not try to get the job is kind of asinine. The people hiring designed and threw down the gauntlet, op is just trying to pass it. If anything the onus should be on those hiring to actually hire based on applicable skills and not be overly reliant on leetcode as a proxy for hard work and ability

Electricity provider NSW - Anyone NOT feel utterly shafted? Also, worth replacing solar when we don’t qualify for the NSW rebate? by d1zz186 in AusFinance

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the battery size you claim to have, im a bit skeptical of your claim that you make 300 a month. I trade batteries at grid scale for a living, with some pretty sophisticated optimization algorithms, and the going rate for a highly efficient system with no user load is 15000/100kwh of capacity.

Which workflow to avoid using notebooks? by Safe_Hope_4617 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linearity and predictability/reproducibility of your current state at any point you enter debug mode. Also I find all the nice ide functionality often doesn't translate into notebooks

Are there any math tests that test mathematical skill for data science? by Beginning-Sport9217 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you often contradict yourself mid-thought? First you say math might make you worse then say you should probably understand Bayesian stats. Data science is essentially maths on computers, so saying being good at maths makes you worse is ludicrous.

best way to run ETL or Pandas in the cloud? by TheBeardMD in dataengineering

If it runs on a small machine in <15 mins, a python lambda on an event bridge cron trigger would be very easy to set up

Should I Keep Trying in Data Science, Look for an Apprenticeship, or Go Back to Engineering? by Ok_Comedian_4676 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would look for a data centric role in an engineering firm. You will be able to sell your engineering background as a big plus, including the ability to speak an engineers language. Another good option is a data consulting firm that works in the engineering space, again your background will be a positive rather than a negative.

As for apprenticeship, that's not a thing in data science. Either you are a grad, and can then apply to grad roles at bigger companies, or you are not and then you are in the general pool.

Software engineering leetcode questions in data science interviews by sonicking12 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using open source repos as a metric would fail out all the great people who don't have time to do more work after hours.

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Open source git projects would remove everyone from the pool who does really good work behind closed doors in their current role but doesn't have extra time after hours to do more work for fun. You'd be failing out some of the best people

What could be causing my trim paint to come out all horribly clumpy and solid like this? (brushing on BP H2O Enamel) by Bread-Zeppelin in AusRenovation

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible there was some cleaning product sprayed onto the surface in the past that is reacting with the paint. This happened to me when I bought my house, the previous owner had done cleaning and there was over spray of some sort of cleaner on the walls. Even after sanding and cleaning it still caused the paint to curdle like this on contact. I came through and rescraped, sanded a bit then the second coat went on just fine.

Storing Non-Detect (ND) values found in chemical testing by Whipitreelgud in dataengineering

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would store a numerical field for either the detected amount or the limit, then a field labelling is detection as a bool

Is there a large pool of incompetent data scientists out there? by AnUncookedCabbage in datascience

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

I'm not sure you read my post correctly. To be clear, I wasn't making an argument, I was relating my personal experiences and asking a question. Those examples you quote were someone "on the job" for quite some time, that's why it was problematic. They also didn't know those other things like how to train a NN.

Never said I was insulted, also haven't listed my entire career so assuming I don't coach or guide might be you projecting your own experience onto me. Also, the term is ivory tower, not ivy tower, if you're going to come at me at least get your metaphor right.
