data scientist

Something like a business analyst who writes code, a hacker with social skills, or a software engineer that knows math.
Also just someone management has decided is a "data scientist".

Even though I am a data scientist, I don't think it's specific enough to describe what I do.

R

An old programming language built for data science. A glorified, extremely useful calculator, that starts counting at 1 instead of 0.

I only switch from R to Python to do deep learning. --And to improve the performance of certain large scale processes ...Sigh, I really need to learn Julia.

feature engineering

Deriving new variables from data for the purpose of analysis.

Why is this six gigs? The data set I gave you was only one gig.

Feature engineering, --sometimes I'm like my own neural network.

github

An uncommon porn site observed in some realities. In one known instance, it is a version control platform used by developers.

Oh, weird. I found another github, but they call it gittube.

Logistics

The specific or technical details of how something occurs.

For example, the logistics of a vacation to Florida might include finding a ticket online, choosing a layover to save money, knowing what to pack, determining what to do with your car and who will meet you at the airport, the day to day packings of lunch, and so on.

Logistics is often used the refer specifically to supply chain and transportation, but this is not always the case.

We'll figure out the logistics later.

What are the logistics of your life these days?
Oh, I'm still looking for a job, but mostly play video games. I got up at 11 today and I need to buy milk.
