Life of a Software Engineer -13-Dec-2021(The Goals)

Hello Readers,

I am Japneet (The Data Singh). I had a strong urge from the past couple of weeks to vent out all - ideas, experiences(good or bad), schedules, goals, thoughts, etc that are going in my head throughout the day.

At first, I thought of speaking all this in front of a camera but then I realized that this is supposed to be something I can do every day to log my days, and using a camera required a lot of time (Owning a YT Channel- The Data Singh) taught me this), so I decided to write all of this and I will be using this section for my logging.

For the last few months, I have been such a lazy lad that anything that I decide to do eventually gets delayed or does not happen.

  • I lost my consistency in putting videos on YT
  • I lost my consistency in putting content on Linkedin
  • I lost my consistency in day to day health activities
  • I started sleeping late which I usually didn’t do from childhood
  • I had no discipline overeating

I can fill this list endlessly, that is the level at which I am disappointed with myself.

BUT

Starting today, I have promised myself to practise self-discipline and get back on track, this is very important for a person to grow in life.

The morning was usual, woke up late and started the work from bed today with a cup of tea which I managed to make for myself.

Working in a startup has its own perks and cons, will be telling them one by one in my upcoming logs.

Towards lunch I managed to finish my slack threads and email cleaning and started to work after lunch.

I don’t know if you are like me, but I am very very easily distracted with even an SMS notification to which no one gives a damn in today’s world.

I somehow managed to keep myself focused on the tasks in hand as the deadline for that is very close now.

In a startup everything is urgent as well as important

The evening I took a hard call to be who I always wanted to be and not a lazy couch potato.

After taking a leave from work at 8:00 I decided to hit the gym and Today I have made a goal to lose 6 kg weight by May 2022.

At first, I didn’t mention the date on this Goal but then I realised

Worst way of goal creation is to keep them open ended

My focus for the new year will be

  • Eat healthily
  • Increase Physical Activity
  • Self Descipline

I know this will not interest many of the readers but if even a single person can relate, I will be more than happy.

Do follow me on Linkedin, YouTube and Medium for more digital Content.



Thanks for reading,

See you tomorrow

The Data Singh

Spidering the web with Python

Introduction We will be talking about  Spidering/Scraping How to do it elegantly in python Limitations and restriction  In the previous posts, I shared some of the methods of text mining and analytics but one of the major and most important tasks before analytics is getting the data which we want to analyze. Text data is present all over in forms of blogs, articles, news, social feeds, posts etc and most of it is distributed to users in the form of API's, RSS feeds, Bulk downloads and Subscriptions. Some sites do not provide any means of pulling the data programmatically, this is where scrapping comes into the picture. Note: Scraping information from the sites which are not free or is not publically available can have serious consequences. Web Scraping is a technique of getting a web page in the form of HTML and parsing it to get the desired information. HTML is very complex in itself due to loose rules and a large number of attribut...

Introduction Machine Learning has become the hottest topic in Data Industry with increasing demand for professionals who can work in this domain. There is large amount of textual data present in internet and giant servers around the world. Just for some facts 1,209,600 new data producing social media users each day. 656 million tweets per day! More than 4 million hours of content uploaded to Youtube every day, with users watching 5.97 billion hours of Youtube videos each day. 67,305,600 Instagram posts uploaded each day There are over 2 billion monthly active Facebook users, compared to 1.44 billion at the start of 2015 and 1.65 at the start of 2016. Facebook has 1.32 billion daily active users on average as of June 2017 4.3 BILLION Facebook messages posted daily! 5.75 BILLION Facebook likes every day. 22 billion texts sent every day. 5.2 BILLION daily Google Searches in 2017. Need for Vectorization The amount of textual data is massive, and the problem with textual dat...

Machine Learning -Solution or Problem

The article will be divided into different sections as follows: Introduction to Machine Learning Types of Solutions Classification using Naive Bayes A brief about Machine Learning According to the definition by Wikipedia,  Machine learning  is the subfield of  computer science  that, according to  Arthur Samuel  in 1959, gives "computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed."  Machine Learning defines a set of problems that have to be evolved through the data by implying some algorithm. One factor that has to be kept in mind while defining a solution through ML is accuracy. Accuracy is very critical in case you are developing a solution in medical domain(cancer detection).There should be a threshold set for every solution which can be based on risk %age that is acceptable. A useful cheatsheet from Microsoft's site to sum up the use of different ML algorithms for the different type of problems. Types of sol...
