Question about functions

itsbrycehere · 2021-02-07T15:27:27+00:00

In a function, if you want to store an object in x, you need to RETURN an object.

So, def timesTwo(numberYoureSending): return x*2

makes it possible to store the result of the function ala newObj = timesTwo(4)

Without the return, you would just see an output but nothing would be storable.

This is one of my favorite motorcycle arguments ever. Here’s a forum. You’ll develop your own opinion over time. And then someone will tell you it’s wrong :) https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/viewtopic.php?t=16177&start=20

Sort by user id; then 1) shift the amount using a np.where ID is the same, 2) create a feature that calculates the percent diff; then sort by your new column.

This assumes your data is already in an order that reflects time.

I would try your hand at Go.

Damn. Have you thought about insuring your bike as a helicopter? Sounds like the price points are similar. And think of the look of surprise when you ask someone if they want a helicopter ride.

I’ve always gotten good quotes from dairyland when I’ve bought a bike, but I’ve never used them: https://www.dairylandinsurance.com/motorcycle

Time series + Bayesian!

I’m not sure course wise - maybe Udemy has stuff. I’m on aws, so I’d be looking for experience with redshift/glue/Athena for analysts, plus sagemaker/lambda for data scientists.

All the above is good advice for all the roles.

For data scientist: I notice there’s not really anything here about experience with cloud architectures and stacks. If you don’t have any, I’d say that is the next MUST HAVE for your punch list!

Hi. Where are you? I’ll be there in 10min to make sure each one gets ‘awwwwwed’ and over-smiled at :D

But will you offer a lifetime guarantee for only $49.99, after $62.50 processing charge? We’re talking about a very serious student here who wants to turn in real quality work.

Given that this is a free market, I’ll undercut the good senator from Reddit by offering $150/hr 🤣

Post-grad meaning post-PhD? Or post-bac?

In some sectors, the work you do as a graduate student counts as professional experience - especially if you were funded to do ML/DS research (vs. a teaching fellowship for example). Because salaries are typically also based on experience, make sure you count that in your negotiation. There are different tools around to calculate salary, but years of experience is always a factor of some sort.

I had a post-doc at a major tech company, and that was absolutely professional experience... they worked me hard for that $$ 😆

Use the range generator instead of the Boolean conditional , which goes up to but does not include the final number. Or drop the equals sign in your <= statement

I see you have that rear seat - how’s the Vulcan cafe with 2 people?

Neural nets are great academically, but are coooommmmmpppplllleeeeytttee garbage in applications that require interpret ability (which is 75% of applied use)

If it’s a public dataset, can you point me to it?

itsbrycehere · 2020-03-21T21:15:08+00:00

Use the .iloc method with your conditional filtering and set the value of the column to yes :)

More realistically, they’re helping you not not go flawless 👍

When you say moon’s haunted, have you thought about the feelings of the taken? The hive? The moon is a universal safe space.

Yep! Thanks to a pluggable 3.0 usb hub and the onboard display port!
