No, I think it was just time for the driver's shift to end?? Mysteries of the transit system.
Thankfully I have no desire for more education after I'm done this degree so I don't have to worry about that when applying for jobs. I know it was a factor for AP, though. He's starting his full-time role within the next month, he just finished school. (this has been your former LMBEer update of the day)
Typing "in" for python always throws me off, though somehow I always make typos in my MATLAB for loops and it ends up only looping over one number then it takes me an hour to figure out what I screwed up.
I'll be starting on the 23rd (so soon) but I don't have anything beyond that.
Mysterious indeed. I miss when my local buses used to be able to ride for free during the pandemic, but now they brought back the payment system.
That makes sense, you are going for one of the highest forms of education anyway. Nice to hear that AP is doing well. I hope he enjoys his new job!
The "in" command is so strange cause there's no indices, yet it just works so nicely. I'll admit, even though I've done MATLAB for quite a while, I still end up searching online to figure out syntax, even for for loops and other simple things.
Sounds good. Looks like you have a week to relax and prepare before starting on your internship.
Here the paid buses are only $1.90 a ride, which isn't too terrible. They have better hours than the free route, so I had to take one after a late baseball game.
I mean, I could always go for a M.D. too but I'm not that crazy. He's currently on a little trip abroad in Europe, so hopefully he has a good time enjoying himself before work starts. Too bad I can't get him to pick up some European LEGO while he's there...
Yes, it takes some getting used to. NG had 2 semesters of java then was complaining about how python was much less structured... I found it funny
I took care of the HR business this afternoon, so hopefully they ship me my company laptop soon and I'm all good to start next Monday.
I'm not sure how much relaxing I'm doing (at least it isn't school), I'm unpacking the LEGO and washing the old space sets I got used 6 years ago and never cleaned. Going to see my grandparents this week and some friends from high school, plus visiting the flea market. Hoping I'll find some bargain LEGO.

Not too bad, especially for being frequent.
Yeah, sounds like a lot of work. Ah, very nice, hopefully he's been able to enjoy Europe despite the pandemic. Oh yeah, the exchange rates on LEGO in Europe is sometimes better than the US.
That's hilarious, and in a way it makes sense. No need to declare variable types and the syntax is a lot more abstract.
Wonderful. Is the company you're working for in the same timezone as you?
I guess it's somewhat relaxing to be working with LEGO and visiting old friends and family. I'm sure they'll be some kind of good deal there.

International shipping seems more of a headache than it's worth. If I ever go abroad I should get a PO box there a month before and get LEGO shipped to it if I see any steals
It can definitely lead to more unique errors though, I remember importing some data from an excel last semester and having to change the file type of my arrays...
In my interview I'm pretty sure one person was in central time and another was in mountain time. They seem to be spread all over the US.
I got a small portion of LEGO, most interestingly a 2x2x11 post and the weird little creature from that Beatles Yellow Submarine set. I also got some cool artwork but I couldn't fit it in my suitcase to bring back on the train. My family will bring it to me at a later date. Today I was assessing more of my collection I've got here, and it seems like my already messy minifigure collection got jumbled around in transit, so that should be a headache to figure out.

This is especially difficult for people living in Australia, where fast shipping is quite expensive. That'd be nice. There's bound to be some good deals.
That's true. Sometimes you never remember what type of variable it was and end up having to do conversion after conversion just to get it to work. I think for a while I was confusing myself with numpy arrays, pandas dataframes, and 2D lists at the same time.
Ah, I see. That makes it pretty flexible then. Hopefully you won't have to do much schedule shifting while you work.
Interesting pieces. Just took a look at the LEGO Yellow submarine creature and I think it's a recolored monster from Nexo Knights. Hopefully it won't be too long until the next time you can visit your family. Good luck sorting all of those minifigures out. I have to sort mines as well sometime.

I never knew this Australia fact. Why is that?
I was trying to just do everything in numpy, as it's consistent with MATLAB that way, but some things really prefer pandas and it's a whole headache. No way to win.
Currently I'm still waiting for IT to get me on the company network so I can view the data, so I spent a few days doing the new hire training and the rest of it learning about the topics and models and planning what to do when I can actually use the data. One would think this is something that would've been done in advance so I could be on their server day one... They also sent me a macbook and I have no experience with apple computers.
Huh, I always forget about Nexo Knights and all the weird pieces it had. My mother's visiting this weekend to bring me another air conditioning unit (much needed for WFH) and most of the rest of my LEGO collection. I think it's mainly pieces that I have already bagged and sorted left to be brought to me. For now I'll just try to minimize the space taken up by the minifigs (and try to get the dust off them) then address it at a later time. I have a lot of cool figs that I forgot about.

I'm not sure, but if I had to guess the reason perhaps it's because Australia is geographically pretty far out as it's nearly surrounded by oceans. I'd assume shipping items to Australia is either expensive and fast by airplane, or cheap and slow by boat. I hear lots of Australian LEGO fans complain about Australian prices being expensive even in times when the currency exchange to US dollar is 1:1.
For sure. The conversions between numpy and dataframes seem pretty good, though I think I still had to run separate test programs to make sure it was seamless. Most of the puzzles in programming isn't actually the algorithm, but the syntax and organization.
Ah, the onboarding material. I remember doing quite a bit of that before getting into my company work. Hopefully you've been able to acquire access to the data by now. Wow, I guess working with a macbook will be a new experience. I have no idea how to use a macbook either, but I do think there's a linux-style terminal that should work the same way as regular linux.
Nexo Knights was an odd theme, though I still regret not finishing the series while it was still available. That's pretty cool. Hopefully the WFH life will be fun. I've spent this past week and will spend the next week with my family as I haven't seen them in a while. Good idea. Still better progress than my collection. Every time I think about sorting, I end up building something instead.

Guess if I'll have to take some LEGO to Australia to sell if I make it out there for a vacation
That's for sure, it's taken me some thought to figure out how to work with all this textual data and stuff in different csv files. I was deeply troubled when I was told that the data science department takes months to get people accustomed to the data when it took me a few days... R&D built different I guess.
I haven't used linux yet either, but maybe this mac experience will make it easier for me when I do end up needing it for my research here at school.
I think I have random Nexo Knights parts from flea market finds, but I never got a set. She also brought 3 boxes of sets and such that I hadn't gotten down here already, so I'm nearly done going through that, then I'll be able to start the individual piece organization project. Hopefully I can get that all sorted today...

That's pretty cool that you got used to the data faster than other people. I guess you know where to look. I know for me I'm only used to data that I make myself, but even then if I go back a month later I'll forget what data I just made.
That would be good timing. Hopefully this internship will help accelerate your research progress, even if it's just learning how to use software packages and tools faster and easier.
Looks like you've got a lot of sorting to do. It's been quite a few days so hopefully you were able to make some progress. I've been pretty busy with work.

Finance my trip by selling LEGO
Now the pain is putting the data into a format that I can easily run my models on... that's taking a while.
And yes, I'm definitely learning a lot and certainly having a better idea of the things I'd like to explore in my work in academia.
The annoyance has been building the IKEA draw inserts, admittedly, but progress is slowly being made. I got some smaller bags I can see things more easily as well. Admittedly I've been using free time to play on a LEGO Universe server instead of sorting, but that's been fun. Hopefully you're not working too hard.

Good tactic. With the rising demand of LEGO, you could probably finance a few vacations from one trip's worth of sold LEGO.
Ah yes, that part. I remember doing something like that for a computer vision program, and most of it was just organizing and naming files and directories so that the model knew where and what to look for.
That's awesome. What other areas of academia would you like to explore?
Ah, very nice. I just came from IKEA today, but I only bought a chair and nothing to organize my LEGO. Nice, I wish I could play LEGO Universe again. I heard they finally got it up and running, but I don't have the original client. Kind of. Not a lot of hard work, but the hard part is about to start.

It would of course require some work. Fun in theory...
Files and directories is always a pain.. I need to figure that out for accessing some files I have for work scattered across multiple locations... like 1.5 million of them
I'm definitely a lot more interested in control theory now, I had that fun class on it and I've looked through some papers about how it's being applied to help analyze psychometric data. Since it's my advisor's field, maybe I could get a dissertation out of it. But plenty of time, we'll see.
This week I had to fix this data set because every user had multiple rows in the dataset and I had to split it into five parts, remove the duplicates, then recombine it it was so bad.
I build my kallax 2x4 and all it's sliding drawer inserts. I have another drawers unit I need to build next, then I can load everything up with pieces.
You don't need any original stuff to play it. The server I'm on has a package you run, and it installs everything then you just open up the patcher and play. It's super easy. Of course, if you have a newer Macbook I think you might need to jump through some hoops to do it.

True. Although with the soon-to-be-coming rise of prices of LEGO, it looks like LEGO will be worth more than what people want it to be.
That's pretty insane. I've never had to work with that many kinds of files before, but I'd imagine writing a program just to sort through all that would take a while.
Nice. Hopefully that'll be a good opportunity to go through if that path is open. Control theory can be tough, but it seems to be your kind of thing.
It's been a while, but hopefully you didn't have to do that again. Even if writing a program could automatically do that for you, there would probably be a lot of edge cases.
Sounds good. It's all coming together. I need to get started on my LEGO room assuming I don't move out.
Interesting. I thought you needed the original LEGO Universe Client to run the game, which I don't have ever since moving to different computers for a decade. Everything is already set up in a way? I have to check this out.

That's how inflation works though, I guess. At least the college of engineering gave us PhD students a raise.
Python is pretty nice, so that wasn't the worst part.
Much better that differential geometry and measure theoretic nonsense, I can tell you that. Thankfully that part of the task is done, though somehow with compression and massive integer IDs (16+ digits) precision was lost before I even received the dataset, so it's a real headache trying to match things up, as some IDs have been altered by a small amount due to machine precision issues.
My living room is my LEGO room. How many rooms do you have?
No, I'm not sure where you got that impression, I've been playing on private servers occasionally for years on a totally different computer than I played on originally. Considering many people were using Windows XP for that, I don't think it would be safe hooking that OS up to the internet anymore... And yes, I could invite you to the server I'm a part of if you'd like, a couple old MBers are there, and the download process was insanely simple. Of course, I'm not sure you want to go down the rabbithole of LU...
True. Although with the soon-to-be-coming rise of prices of LEGO, it looks like LEGO will be worth more than what people want it to be.
That's pretty insane. I've never had to work with that many kinds of files before, but I'd imagine writing a program just to sort through all that would take a while.
Nice. Hopefully that'll be a good opportunity to go through if that path is open. Control theory can be tough, but it seems to be your kind of thing.
It's been a while, but hopefully you didn't have to do that again. Even if writing a program could automatically do that for you, there would probably be a lot of edge cases.
Sounds good. It's all coming together. I need to get started on my LEGO room assuming I don't move out.
Interesting. I thought you needed the original LEGO Universe Client to run the game, which I don't have ever since moving to different computers for a decade. Everything is already set up in a way? I have to check this out.
That's how inflation works though, I guess. At least the college of engineering gave us PhD students a raise.
Python is pretty nice, so that wasn't the worst part.
Much better that differential geometry and measure theoretic nonsense, I can tell you that.

Yep, I guess, as well as the supply chain crisis. That's good. I remember the PhD students at my school were quite underpaid.
That's good. It's pretty easy to get a program up and running within minutes.
Those two topics sound complicated, though differential geometry sounds interesting. Wow. That still sounds pretty complicated, and pretty intense for a machine requiring 16+ digits of precision.
Nice. I have two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, though there's a chance I'll be moving to another apartment if I find one that's a little better.
I see. I remember seeing some of the documentation of Darkflame Universe and it seemed like you needed the original game to play in addition to some of the things in their coding repository. Even though I know how to use some of those tools, I wasn't sure I had everything ready. I think I was using Windows Vista back when I was playing LU. I'd be interested in playing LU again, assuming it'll be more than what I got as a free-to-play player when I played initially. I'd love to fall down that rabbithole again.

Yes, we found out that someone had actually butchered the dataset when trying to merge a couple different things (they didn't treat those long integers as strings so machine errors resulted), so I'd been working with bad data from the start. We went back to the original data and things worked fine. Of course, another dataset I have was dependent on the bad set, so we're trying to figure that out. I'll be with this company for the rest of the year, so hopefully I can get this sorted and actually start USING the data in September...
That's nice, the second bedroom is the LEGO room I have a dining room and a living room, but no second bedroom, so I guess we're probably closer in size than we realize.
How odd. You've definitely never needed the original game for any of these, at least that I saw. But also I never watched any of Darkflames videos so it's possible they make it confusing. You can do the entire game now, and it's great fun. The only thing you can't yet do is add behaviors to models on your properties, essentially. Message me over on our staff channel and I'll get you an invite if you're interested
