Why aren't you a data scientist yet?

>who thinks meme STEM professions are sexy? trannies?
Sexy as in ease of finding job and high pay and less fear of replacement

>"data scientist" = mediocre statistician
t. Can't cluster to save his life

Data scientist -> the guy who cleans datasets and then slaps them in a python script

>less fear of replacement
give it 5 years or so and most of them will be out of a job when people realize big data isn't the answer to everything

Are you telling me once i reach DS level im only one step left to be a real scientist?

Any resource to build scrapers without getting banned?

>>less fear of replacement
>give it 5 years or so and most of them will be out of a job when people realize big data isn't the answer to everything

Sure, like that pesky internet
It will go away any second now

Cute

I'm an average white male living in California, and apparently it's a crime to employ me here.

Complain that they assumed your gender

Because I'm in data science automation. Better to ask
>Why are you still a data scientist?

Start wearing "programming socks" and sleeves and complaining people won't hire a non-passing transgirl. Instant hires.

not all new technologies are fads but big data is

I haven't evolved past Code Artisan yet.

Well how do I become one then?

I saved 4 billions last year for a major airline company by showing them how their ticket pricing was making them lose money
It was just 600 lines in Python

stop whining bro.

Elaborate friend. I’m striving for a data science position with my python skills.

That was my one whine today, I'm done whining now.

I want to be a qt female developer.
But I have a schlong...
What should I do, OP?

>Elaborate friend. I’m striving for a data science position with my python skills.
Learn linear algebra

I want to become a data scientist. what programming language is actually ubiquitous among data scientists?
my school taught me Matlab but i hate it.
is Julia something I should invest time learning?

Check
What's next?

I meant more about your particular case. Can you comment on how their ticket prices were costing them so much? What was your approach? I work in biomed research but am always interested to hear how other fields apply data science.

>my school taught me Matlab but i hate it.
Then there's no saving you

so stick with Matlab??? make yourself clear nigger

SQL
i have python and r and a bunch of experience but i don't use sql at work. i get turned down all the time

Regex

Unironically this. The absolute might you wield with regex if you’re actially good with it is insane.

that's not big data, that's regular bi

Yeah you might even be able to parse HTML

Isn’t that extremely basic/easy with regex? Or are you just being a smart ass?

not saying it's completely useless, just nowhere near as useful as people think it is

Or people who handle strings a lot to automate shit or analyze text heavy things. Web dev isn’t something I touch.

"Don't parse HTML with regex" is a classic meme
It's very funny, and kind of a little bit true.

Use the official API.

>he's never had to handle data in the form of natural language

Why would one not do this? Because the sheer amount of escapes for certain characters that html relies on?

yeah i've got a couple of books saved to my hard drive

HTML just isn't the kind of language regex is designed to deal with.
Regex is mostly for long strings of plain text.
HTML has opening and closing tags you need to match, then text in between them that you need to deal with.
It's a very unwieldy process, especially when XML parsers are already a thing.

Oh I get it. Thanks for the info friend.

so how do XML parsers work internally if not using some kind of regex?

>Can you comment on how their ticket prices were costing them so much? What was your approach?

I had the idea that discounting tickets near flight date for fear of not filling the plane was not worth the costs in terms of actually caring for the passengers compared to flying at say 70% load at higher prices.
I was right

you know you can parse text without using regex right
you just loop over the characters

so how much of the 4 billion dollars worth of savings went to you?

how is that better than regex?

Convert to womun and if u r not accepted, just write a code of conduct that says u hav 2 b!

they look at the DOM structure generated by raw HTML text code and navigate it that way instead of just searching through the raw HTML text code directly

well its way faster for one, and if you have modal text formats like xml, html, or any code where you want to retain a state (if you're in a tag, or inside quoted text) regex isn't that suitable

>so how much of the 4 billion dollars worth of savings went to you?

I can fly for free until 2199 if I'm alive

As far as I can tell, it's a fast language with support that's likely to increase.
I'd recommend you make a couple of applications in Julia, see how you like it, but don't force it.

It'll likely be a lot better five/ten years from now.

This is just like people getting into comp sci to "code videogames"

Do you really need to ask this? Python of course.

Also at least as far as I've looked entry level data science jobs pay consistently less than software dev. That's why even though I could apply as a data scientist I always choose software engineer/data mining or software engineer/machine learning as the job title to apply for.

Why train what will enslave us

I struggle writing code
I don't know what it is, it just is. I end up thinking about a solution for the problem while I'm just starting to write and it balloons out of control with my mind wandering in all possible spaces and how it's better to do it, to end up doing nothing.
I am also retarded when it comes to transpiling but that's wholly unrelated to my absolute ineptitude in writing simple code. I still end up trying my hand at it with euler or advent of code, just without major results

Those are equivalent to regex

dataquest.io has pretty good data science/analyst programs for R and python.
Khan or similar for math involved in data science such as linear algebra that was already said

Python and R.
Julia is nice to build more complex projects but average data science just need scripts Python/R

"Mediocre" is still way too much. Many of these self-taught internet data scientists probably have not ever taken a real statistics course in their life at any level. They just monkey around with python and 9001 "scientific computing" modules at random until something kind of works, statistics and reasoning be damned.

A lot of the ones I have the misfortune of working with couldn't tell you the difference between the median and the mean, and they are employed by the university to do real scientific research. I'm no statistics guru either, having only taken one course of that in my life and even I know more than they do. The worst thing is that they pretend to be experts while devauing others' work.

This is true as well in the shithole known as industry, especially the st*rtup ecosystem.

It's not about the money. It's about the fact you faggots have zero respect for others' time and work, and are frequently flat out wrong requiring others to redo your work and waste time, and we're forced to depend on your unskilled labor because some leadership fell for marketing like a bunch of retards.
