Data Scientist - more specifically, the kind that can program in Python and R, but can barely get past "hello world" on C++, Java, etc. Not bad at math either.

I just completed "Calorie Counting" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2022 https://t.co/rNGDMrXOJY #AdventOfCode

Late to the party on this one, but this one was much faster for me than Day 2! (and yes, that also works as 2 factorial :p )

@engineers_feed Let x = height of yellow
Let y = width of orange
So width of blue = 2 + x - y.
Equal areas of rectangles: (2+x-y)(2+x) = 2y
==>(eq. 1) 2y = (2+x)^2 - y(2+x)

Area of square: (eq. 2) (2+x)^2 = 5 * 2y = 10y
(eq. 1) 2y = 10y - y(2+x)
=> 2=10-(2+x)
=> x = 6
=>Area = 64

Nerd sniping myself lately over at https://t.co/RecT6q0HaK - the problems start easy but get rather challenging the further along you go!

Skipped to prob number 303 and I got the solution! But...it took 10 minutes to run 🤣

Always room for improvement for this #DataScientist

[Brian Jenkins @BSJDataScience]

@__mharrison__ The object oriented aspect was always tough for me

I made this script to automate our annual lichess team league!
For each tournament, it assigns points based on performance, drops the two lowest scores, then posts the results to google drive. Many thanks to @Google and @lichess for having amazing APIs!

Ever wanted to run an arena tournament league with a team on lichess but don't wanna manually update a google sheet? I got you! Running the script when playing league tournaments pushes results to Google Sheets in near-real time! @lichess #Chess #Google

I think the message in Data Science needs to be: Don't believe everything you read.

I'd like to thank Rafael Nicolas Fermin Cota for pointing me to this modified graphic from a recent Harvard Business Review article.

Here's my take. 🧵

Timestamped my Pandas Tutorial to make viewing easier for those that don't need a whole 45 minute video, but maybe just need a refresher on a couple concepts.

@tbr90 It's .5 lb of 'melon' for lack of a better term. This remains constant, but is now 2% of the total mass of the watermelon. This makes the total mass = 50 * .5 = 25 lbs

@tanya_shapiro Recently used Python outputs as inputs into R for visualization. ggplot has a cleaner look than matplotlib for sure

@engineers_feed 042:

1) The last two hints show that 0 is correct and not 3rd
2) The 1st, 2nd, and 4th hint shows that 6 and 8 are not correct anywhere, therefore 2 is 3rd. (__2)
3) Now clue 3 shows that 0 is not 2nd, therefore 0 is 1st. (0_2)
4) (012) contradicts hint 2, therefore it's (042)

@driscollis I like performing data analysis in Spyder, but Jupyter Notebooks are a nice and clean way of giving demos/presentations

[Brian Jenkins @BSJDataScience]

@driscollis networkX for graph theory/network analysis
