6 Figures 6 Certs Random Thoughts Thread

[Obreh Winfrey]

So it looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to use Jupyter Notebook for some of this data science/data visualization. I think I fixed the index error I was having. I added in argparse so I can have a little more flexibility when I run it. I also do a little more cleanup to remove some excess HTML. I'm giving the script another run and trying to scrape 5000 pages. I have some sleeps in there because I don't want to DDoS them

. It's going to take a while for this to complete, but I'll probably have enough data to where I can leave them alone for a while.

Update: around 1750 pages in and the thoughts I had about memory usage have been put to bed. I've been watching /proc/meminfo and the numbers have been pretty steady. I also noticed that I missed a couple of possibilities during the HTML sanitization. Its still parsing them, but they won't be output to files. Looks like this is going to tie up my laptop until this evening.

For studying, would you recommend a Ipad or a Kindle? I have books on my computer and not sure if you can transfer epub and ibooks to a kindle

I use a cheap Amazon tablet whenever they go on sale. Adding a cheap sdcard to it you can add hundreds of ebooks.

Screen scraping finished. Pulled 3039 of 5000 pages, which is about 60%. Because of how the script is written, I'm assuming the other 40% is because the webpage did not exist, not because of what I failed to account for (ignoring the categories I mentioned previously). I'm almost tempted to reload and get the last 5000 pages, but it's not expressly necessary for this exercise. I just need to dig deeper into Jupyter and how the major data science libraries work, then I can play around.

Uber fare, phone bill, and having to update my wardrobe got me. I did a "bare minimum" transfer a the start of the month, which would cover my normal expenses just fine with a little left over. But shyt happens.

Damn Ally Bank dropping rates again to 1.60, smh. Making it difficult to be even worth it. Wasn't expecting this rate drop. Don't know if the impeachment caused any of it. Need like $250 more to reach 20k then I'm pausing my deposits until I pay off my cc debt or they raise the rates back over 2%. Should be getting 1k back in a few weeks from my boy regarding an unnecessary legal matter I got myself involved in and hopefully 500 next week if I win a fantasy football championship this weekend. Thinking of using the 1k to pay off some debt and the 500 to invest. Could use all to pay off debt but not fully sure about that. Don't wanna take any of my savings out. Went thru the same thing last year racking up debt around this time. Hopefully I come up with a plan or something to get me back on track by my birthday in mid February.

All the banks dropping rates because they feds have been dropping rates for months.
