You are looking to get into Machine Learning? You most certainly can
Because I believe that if an above-average student like me was able to do it, you all certainly can as well

Here's how I went from knowing nothing about programming to someone working in Data Science👇

 The path that I took wasn't the most optimal way to get a good grip on Machine Learning because...

when I started out, I knew nobody that worked or had knowledge of Data Science which made me try all sorts of different things that were not actually necessary.
I studied C programming as my first language during my freshman year in college. And before the start of my second year, I started learning python just because I knew C is not the way to go.
I learned it out of curiosity and I had no idea about Machine Learning at this point.
I did not learn python by courses but by books. I'll link all the resources at the end.
The approach I took was just to make the same kind of programs I made in C but just replacing the syntax with that of python and practised those.
Already knowing a language made it easier.
For Machine Learning, the first thing that I did was to join Andrew NG's course which really hit it off for me
I didn't have to have any idea about Machine Learning for the course. I completed that in almost a month and it gave me a good intuition of things and the flow of ML.
Then I thought of implementing those concepts through python
But after a lot of tries, I wasn't really able to do it. Because I was constantly encountering a lot of stuff things in code that I wasn't really aware of.

Even loading the CSV data seemed like a hard task.
What I was lacking was the basic python and ML libraries. So I started focusing on learning those.

The absolute necessary ones were
🔸Numpy
🔸Pandas
🔸Matplotlib
🔸Seaborn
🔸SciKit Learn
🔸Os (an important built-in package).
There were two really good udemy courses that helped me with the library portion and implementing the algorithms through Sci-Kit learn with dummy datasets.

The practice of the taught concepts multiple times was necessary, I did that as much as I could and also read blogs on them
Everything that I did from there on was from Kaggle. It is a platform that's closest to exposing what real-life problems may look like.

Different people solve the same problem differently and you read a lot of other people's code. From there on that's what kept me growing.
Things I learned from Kaggle:

🔹Exploration and visualization of data
🔹How to approach a new problem
🔹Better code structure for implementing a machine learning solution

You don't have to be an absolute grandmaster of kaggle but plenty practice and patience is needed.
Then I just picked up some common projects and implemented them, mostly from kaggle. Like,

▪ Titanic Survival
▪ Spam Classification
▪ Movies Recommendation
▪ Boston House Pricing
▪ Churn Prediction

You'll kind of know your way from there, moving to harder problems slowly.
Don't overthink about maths more than it is necessary. You can always learn the mathematical concepts that you may be missing as you go.

Learning the maths behind will keep things interesting if you won't enjoy that you will get bored pretty quickly.
Finally, it can get quite overwhelming at times, make sure to take one step at a time. Don't focus on how far ahead other people are focus on how much you'll grow from here.

And you are NOT too old or too young for this stuff
Look at these two guys @svpino @PrasoonPratham !
Have a happy journey in this wonderful domain!

If you're learning or planning to learn Web Development in 2021 then this thread is for you

🧵👇🏻

WHERE TO START? Front-end or Backend?

- Well this may be a debatable question but I would suggest you to start with front-end development

- It depends entirely on the individual but in my opinion, starting with front-end development has its advantages.

{ 2 / 16 }

WHY TO START WITH FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT?

- More visual content gives you an aesthetic vibe

- You can share your creations

- Easier to get feedback as you can show your webpages to any non technical person as well

{ 3 / 16 }

FUNDAMENTALS ARE IMPORTANT

- Don't rush! Spend some time on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can do pretty amazing things using these three languages

{ 4 / 16 }

- Make sure to learn and build some web pages using HTML and CSS before jumping onto JavaScript

- JavaScript is the backbone of web development, Don't rush to start with React/Angular/vue or any other front-end framework or library

A complete beginner's guide to CSS Grid layout 👇🏻

Thread🧵


Grid is used for making complex web design layouts more easily as it's not so hard to master

Using Flex you can make only 1D layout but Grid gives you full power of creating 2D layout

Let's start

{ 2 / 21 }

First things first, start with giving the display property "grid" to the container element or parent element

{ 3 / 21 }


Nothing will change after adding display: flex; in the parent container becuase we need to define the width of columns. In order to set that columns width we have gird-template-columns property

{ 4 / 21 }

Let's start with defining the width of our columns.

For example, let's say I need two columns of width 60% and 40% respectively

grid-template-columns: 60% 40%;

Hello, my name is Gal,
I am an Israeli citizen, and I want to convey this urgent message to the world: Contrary to what you are told, Israel has not "returned to normal" in any way >>

2/ Moreover, despite the desire to create a setting as if there was a full and normal routine here - the Israeli Ministry of Health JUST RECOMMENDED TODAY TO EXTENT THE DECLARATION OF A “STATE OF EMERGENCY” in Israel >>

3/ to which is the foundation for coercion, violation of basic rights, severe discrimination under a "green mark (pass)", prolonged closure (Of about 5 months overall) and a lot of undemocratic and not “routine" restrictions. >

4/ If the situation in Israel had "returned to routine thanks to the astounding success of vaccines" then the "state of emergency" would not have continued.

5/ In fact, since the beginning of the "vaccination project" there has been only more intimidation and in many ways - even though the closure has been lifted, much more coercion.

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

1/ The first 18 months of starting a company is often life or death. I must've made 5 different companies that each failed within 9 mo. 😭 Each time the company failed I figured out what I could do better. Eventually startup #6 got to $40K/mo by month 18. Here’s what I learned...

2/ Stay focused! Ignore things that are a waste of time: meetups & conferences, meetings with no clear agenda, fundraising if you're not fundraising, reading lots of tech media articles, etc. Every week should feel like significant progress in the first year.

3/ Your first 5 hires will be the difference between life or death. Choose carefully. Be picky. Many of the things we do at the company still are a result of those early hires' legacy. Have fun as a tight knit team. It will change & evolve as you get bigger so enjoy this moment.

4/ Growth may be flat for the first 9 months. It's gonna be okay. Almost every company has experienced this: Airbnb had to sell cereal in-between, Slack failed as a gaming company first, Tesla sold only 147 cars after 6 years! You probably won't be an overnight success either.

5/ In the beginning, do customer support yourself. You will learn a lot about why your product sucks. I did 5,000+ support tickets when it was the two of us. Delight customers & fix things fast while you learn. It will help you build an amazing intuition about your customers.
