Classmate said I should package up the functions I wrote in python that mimic things you can do in R for machine learning/statistical learning/statistical analysis/etc.
How 'bout no.
FWIW if you did that and put it on GitHub/registered the library with PyPI, as an analytics hiring manager I would take that as strong evidence that you're ready for something a littlelot higher paying than that internship you're talking about in the job thread.

god I need to get out of web development
or at least into something with a healthier ecosystem than the wordpress/LAMP stack
I saw refurbed Xbox one x's on wish yesterday that were like 236 after the deals. Dunno if that's still going on and they're in stock though. Might be worth looking into.

Oh, if I can get one for that cheap I'd definitely go for that.

Can they get away from disc drives yet? Is there enough sales to justify it?
Microsoft is trying, at least for the low end model.
It's interesting that discs are still such an integral part of the console ecosystem. About two years ago, I found a DVD at my library that wasn't on any streaming services, and it wasn't until I got it home that I realized I'd slowly upgraded myself out of almost every optical drive in the house without noticing. I had to dig out an old laptop with a half-broke screen just to find a working DVD drive so I could stream the movie to my desktop.
I guess it has something to do with the used game market? That's really the only difference I can think of between PC and console gaming.

AAA games are big, and people without good internet will tend to go console.
Though these days you're kinda screwed anyway, I bought the division 2 on disc for the 10 dollars off and still had to download 50gb once I put the thing into the system. Basically a plastic drm key at this point.

Speaking seriously it's something I would consider doing. I just don't have a lot of time and have been swamped with work.
It's a backwards and forward stepwise selection implementation. It'd take some work to get it to a more general space and make sure different scoring methods work. Maybe once summer rolls around.
I'm also pretty skeptical of the actual value in using stepwise selection methods for data analysis. And a lot of readings have kind of cemented that skepticism.

Gamespot would be very disappointed with the console people if they gave up on physical media entirely. A few years ago that would have been a much bigger problem than it is now, but even so I'd guess that discless would be an option on the new stuff rather than the only way.

Unreliable techniques is like the theme of probably 50% of methods I come across. I won't say how much of my own work is in that bucket.

I operate under the assumption that all mathematical models of reality are "wrong" at some level of precision, which means you're always "wrong", so the best thing you can be on any given day is less wrong than you were the day before.
So go ahead and utilize an "unreliable" technique. It's probably better than doing nothing, and you can always come back tomorrow after you've found a reliable technique and implement that instead.
I feel like I should get something, anything, on GitHub but I have no idea what I would do. Some of my schoolwork, like my Python K-nearest neighbor projects, or like some of my Java stuff....maybe like a Java program to sort through windows or Unix log files to find certain markers? I know theres probably a million things out there that can do that, but I should probably start somewhere
Buying physical tends to cost me about 1/3 of digital prices so I'm still all about the discs.
Yeah. As a filthy casual I'm more than happy to just hang around and wait for my console games to go in sale for like twenty bucks while they still sell at full price online.

Yep. A LOT of modern analytics is directional in nature, so you don't need it to be 100%, just complete enough that you can make the strategic recommendation of "yeah, that seems like a good idea".
Just the other day we threw out most of the results from a popular sentiment scorer because it turns out word classification sucks when people are talking formally or diplomatically.
However, it doesn't make the technique invalid, just one to be examined for consistency when used.

They'd "have to" put SSDs in there instead. Which has not happened yet, at least on Sony's side of the fence.
I don't see that they would, a platter drive is still faster than streaming data from a bluray disc. Putting one in a luxury model could work nicely though.

Yeah, when was the last time you could play a game without copying the entire disk to the hard drive?
Believe it or not this has helped me in interviews
I really like that duration lib you've got going on
e: I feel cheated I didn't see it was a fork, how could you spork
It was forked because we needed to composer it in and at the time the guy hadn't merged a PR that added support for days. I don't like how GitHub lumps stuff that you've done nothing to with stuff you've started from scratch
youtube tv went up in price by 10 dollars yesterday to 50 dollars a month.
i really liked the service when it was sports and a dvr for 35 dollars. i don't think the discovery channel is worth 120 dollars a year, this streaming future is not very good.

what is youtube TV
Cable TV but through YouTube
ah, I swear they had a youtube TV thing that was just like... an app that let you watch youtube on your TV
I was wondering how the hell they were charging $50/month for that

A low-end 1TB SSD is only like $140 at retail now (the Intel 660p is $115 on Newegg today, even), which isn't too far off what a 500GB laptop drive cost in 2012.
At console/integrated scale you would pay less than that. Another option would be phone-style UFS 2.1 storage embedded in the motherboard, which would probably cost even less.
It would be a decent chunk of their BOM cost, but they could definitely eat it early on in anticipation of costs dropping during the lifecycle.

sure they're only used for like, 6 months before being considered obsolete
but like... gotta chase that trend

I just checked, and in my zip code they offer 76 channels.
they're adding the discovery networks now which i guess was a sore spot between them and the other streaming tv offerings but so much money.
