100 Days Of Code

Hi! I’m a queer graduate student studying biochemical AI and ML, and I’m doing 100 days of code to improve my Python for school! Happy to have you here :)

Valentine Coding Challenge!

This challenge initially started as something I wanted to do for myself because I love February vibes – plus I love challenges... even if I don't stick to them all the time hehe. But hey, I love to be extra so I made an info sheet/post thingy! Yay~! I thought it would be fantastic to share and invite anyone interested to join in~! Or just watch me do the challenge... :p

As a Christian, I love exploring the deeper meanings behind celebrations. That's why I'm aiming to dedicate at least one of the projects to the two priests named Valentine~!

Anyhoo, can't wait~!

Day 46: more code sorting!

Hey gang! Today I spent the hour fiddling around in pandas, trying to figure out how to get the code to make a new .csv if there was no file by the specified name, but to write to the file in append mode if there is such a file. I had to go do other things before I could crack it, but I think I’m pretty close! And I had a good time, so that’s a win anyway!

See you tomorrow! :))

Day 45: More code combing!

Hi gang! Today I figured out how to sort the datapoints into a new dictionary, and that will be great to help me with the next steps! Now, I need to determine which proteins have the most data points to train AI with. See you tomorrow! :))

Day 44: more data sorting!

Hi gang! Today I sorted through that data file some more. We want to sort it by a particular data type, so I’m trying to figure out how to do that. Probably more of the same tomorrow! See you then! :)))

Day 43: I’m alive!

Hey gang! I’m back, a stressful few days are behind me but hopefully we’re back on the horse now! Today, I spent an hour using the python package pandas to comb through a HUGE .json data file for work, it contains the data I need to train my A.I.! My proudest achievement of this round was going four layers deep in nested lists to find the data points I needed. My goals with this are to try to sort through the data points and get some more properly organized data set up! More on this tomorrow! :))

Day 43: busy day! forgot again!

Hey gang, entering into the Busy Times at school, so you might have a couple days where you don’t hear much from me. I’m gonna try my best to keep it every day, but there are gonna be some days (like today) where it just isn’t gonna happen. However! I will be seeing you all tomorrow :))

Day 42: modeling!

Hi gang, today was a slightly off-base day, but I still learned some code! I got to learn about how to use molecular modeling software to determine and simulate molecule interaction, which can be implemented with Python to mass-generate simulated molecule data. I don’t know much about it yet, but it was interesting to see!

See you all tomorrow! :))

Notice: I got Stuff Going On!

Hey gang, I have a big weekend ahead of me and I know, in advance, that I’ll be very stressed out. In light of that, day 42 of the 100 days of code will be pushed to this next coming Tuesday (2/21). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I may not be learning 100 days direct in a row but by golly I *will* be learning it!

See you Tuesday :))))

Day 41: more fish!!!

More fish work today :))) worked on the seaweed a lil.

See you tomorrow :)))

[queer-100-days-of-code]

Day 41: I forgot

Hey gang! I had a really good day today! unfortunately it was also a really busy day and I totally spaced my code. Never fear, day 41 will happen tomorrow! See you all then! :))

[queer-100-days-of-code]

Day 40: more fish!

Hi gang’ today I made it so the fish can go left AND right, and not just in the right facing direction. I also added some sand on the bottom, and tried to add a seaweed:))

See you tomorrow! :))

Day 39: more fish time!

Hi all! Today I learned how to make the fish redirect themselves and wiggle around, so they could swim at fun angles across the screen, and not just directly to the 0 degree heading.

See you tomorrow! :)))

[queer-100-days-of-code]

Day 38: Fish!

Hey gang! Today I really struggled to summon the will to code, so I decided to do something easy and fun! I used the turtle python module to make myself a little fishy screensaver, with a handmade palette of five different fish colors, that would move across the screen and reappear on the other side in a new color once they passed offscreen. I have a feeling this week may be a bit long, so my projects later this week might be “make this a really cool screensaver”. It’s important to have fun as well as learn every once in a while :))

See you tomorrow! :))

Day 38: Travel Day!

Hi gang, once again I am faced with a day where I will not have one iota of spare time or mental strength to code, so day 38 is going to be tomorrow instead of today. I may not get 100 days of code all in a row, but I am learning bit by bit and I will get there eventually! :))

See you tomorrow!

Day 37: more data cleaning!

Hi all, today was more data cleaning! The data that I managed to get yesterday was complete and useable, but it had a couple of unnecessary columns which were taking up a lot of file space. I managed to reorganize the Dataframe into a dictionary of dictionaries, and then from those inner dictionaries I was able to get an ordered list of the data from each column. From these, I was able to cast a new, clean .csv file which only had the necessary, appropriately labeled data in it.

See you tomorrow! :))

Day 36: Millions of Data Points!

Hi all! Extremely vindicating day of learning for me, I spent my hour of code today trying to get an absolute BEAST of a .csv file to do what I wanted it to do. It’s a raw dataset of A.I. training data, which is public access, but has the unfortunate downside of being HUGE, and also completely unlabelled as far as column headers. I was able to read the csv into a variable, generate a new, ‘blank’ csv with the proper column headers, and append all +5,000,000 data points into the new file, so now it can be referenced by whichever variables I want. I also generated some sample code, so I can show the group at the meeting how we can use the program to search for specific behaviors we might want to teach the A.I. to prefer. 

This was a very challenging task for me, but I had fun and I feel accomplished! 

See you all tomorrow! :))

Day 35: some code cleaning!

Hi gang! Today I spent my hour of code on some school work, it involved starting to clean up a database for use in training A.I., so that’s neat. I’m having a bit of trouble with the notation the source material uses, but I can take another crack at it tomorrow :))

See you tomorrow! :))
