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.

Being flip

Flip as an adjective
Shortened form of flippant, meaning joking or overly casual

"The reality is, I'm an idiot. Like ... and I'm not being flip about it. Like, I don't understand very complicated things." - Simon Sinek

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.

player sexual

When an NPC is sexually attracted to the player character regardless of the PC's identity.

Wait, you can also hook up with Jess when you play as a girl?
Yeah, she's player sexual; all the characters you can have a relationship with in this game are.

Some gamers dislike player sexual characters because it makes them less interesting, but others welcome it because it offers more freedom.

Shrugocracy

An ignorant government
OR
Indifference in bureaucracy

"Dataphobia chills them to the bone, I suspect because they hope to undermine not only some truths but all truth. David Roberts at Vox has written about what he calls an epistemic crisis in America, the idea that certain rulers and rich people hope to take away the basic idea of knowledge. If nobody can know anything, why bother to try to regulate anything? It’s government-by-ignorance—a shrugocracy."

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.
