I know have a place where you and I can go play with my disc golf data. Discs and Data REMIX! (and I made it in Flask!) Currently I only have a player head-to-head tool, but more is coming… https://www.discsanddata.ga
It was a normal morning in red zone Cambodia. I heard that police checkpoints were becoming more numerous, even stopping food delivery drivers. I would need to think about this soon. Especially as I was short on mixers. Cocktails by the pool weren’t as nice when your cocktail was a coffee mug of cheap vodka. I also should have done […]
Sometimes you can’t just Python to Python. Hopefully you’re studying Python (or another computing language) because it connects to the way you think in some way. But you shouldn’t always Python just to Python. There needs to be something more. Python is a language, like any other language you would study. It can be very frustrating. You look at some […]
Man I learned a lot doing this project. So… more stuff I learned (or re-learned), when making my disc golf power rankings happen (part 1 is here)… So I have a list of lists, how do I get the name of list instead of its contents? So, for some reason I wanted to make a list of lists of the […]
Cornhole, the sport of midwestern American tailgaters, has arrived in Cambodia, kinda. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, meaning you’re in that 80% of my two-person readership [Haven’t gotten to stats yet in my Coursera classes], check out https://www.playcornhole.org/pages/rules for info about the glorious sport of cornhole.) A bar I frequent now has some boards that are getting […]
So, when we left off we were looking at population, GDP per capita, and urbanization metrics. Nothing jumped out except the urbanization… (tl;dr the first five posts in this series… I’m looking at connections between population and economic metrics and country success at the olympics. To start at the beginning, check out part 1.) (Standard warning in all my posts. I’m […]
And back to work. When we left off I had just built the Countries DATAFRAME… (tl;dr the first two posts in this series… I’m looking at connections between population and economic metrics and country success at the olympics. To start at the beginning, check out part 1.) (Standard warning in all my posts. I’m a beginner. Nothing below should be […]
Ok. Back to work on the capstone for Learn SQL Basics for Data Science (via Coursera). I’m trying to look at the connections between a country’s population and economic metrics and success in the olympic games. I’ve collected all the data, gave it a quick look, and now it’s time to dig in. (If you want to see how I […]
So we’ve come to the last course in the Learn SQL Basics for Data Science specialization from UC-Davis (via Coursera), the capstone project. Here we supposedly take what we learned during the other courses and make something. Really, though, in the early days of this course I’m still learning a lot. So I’m writing this series of posts as a […]
(What is this project I’m writing about? I have a pretty detailed description here.) The first thing I’m noticing is that I’m taking this project very seriously. This is a project that I feel like I could provide a minimally acceptable product and pass and move on. I’m not doing that. I think there are 2 reasons: This is a […]
