Hi! I saw your theme on another blog and found yours! I read your terms and conditions and I just wanted to clarify: if I want to use your theme for personal use, can I download it to use for my blog? I’m new to tumblr and coding so I wasn’t sure what you meant by ‘don’t copy and paste anything’ - does this refer to taking bits and pieces of your codes and not crediting you? I’m sorry if this sounds so dumb, but I just wanted to check with you first. Thank you I’m advance!
yes, you can download it for use for your blog! you're correct, it just means taking pieces of code without crediting
finding out that you’re a data scientist like 3 weeks before I apply for uni (I’m going for a maths, stats and data science course) is pretty awesome 😌😌 you said python and SQL are both pretty important— if you don’t mind me asking, when I graduate university, are there any other languages that would improve my chances at getting a job, or is it mainly just those two?
that’s so exciting, best of luck!
I don’t know if I would recommend any other languages, although it is nice to be flexible, I think going deeper into python will benefit you. some libraries to check out are
pandas and pyspark for dataframes
scikit-learn for machine learning
matplotlib/seaborn for visualizations
other than languages, I think some useful tools are:
bash scripting in linux or unix
git version control
tableau dashboards
I’m still learning these three myself, so I don’t think you need to go super deep. if you learn a little bit now, it’ll make it easier to pick up again down the line!
hello! apologies if you've answered this before (I looked through your blog but didn't see anything similar). I'm trying to edit an old code (not one of yours) to display posts by having replies simply appear under one another (rather than being indented with block quotes) to accommodate Tumblr's Neue Post Type update, but I'm struggling and was wondering if you knew how to do it. I don't have a coding background but hoping the answer isn't specific to the theme! thank you so much!!
hi ! its me the one who asked ant data science , tysm for answering my last question !! i got my sample videos and assignments for the course and i'm v excited ! in addition to that , i saw some videos on youtube that were like " data science full course" and theyre 10hr vids . i was wondering if that really is the full course ? like do u think you can study it from a 10hr course ? not fully ofc but atleast a brush up or smtg ? i hope youre doing well !! have a good day !
personally, I’m not sure that I could get a deep understanding by watching youtube videos. I think I learn best by working through problems myself and getting feedback. but it looks like those videos have a lot of views/likes so they must have some value!
Hello! I was wondering how did you add the infinite scroll plugin in your themes? I've looked up Paul Irish's plugin but I can't seem to get it right :(
I would recommend just copy and pasting the scripts starting on row 293 of my base code
you will have to find the elements in your theme that correspond to .content, .entry, .pagination, and .next and replace those classes with your classes. for example, if you have <div class=“post”> instead of <div class=“entry”>, then you’ll change .entry to .post on row 314. and so on
hello ! im gonna pursue data science and i saw that we'll learn some coding in it so i just wanted to know ,, is coding very difficult?? do we need math for it ??
hi!
I’ve been working as a data scientist for 2 years, and I should probably note that I work at a traditional/non-tech company, I’m sure data scientists at tech companies have a very different experience
I majored in math in college and I got a masters in statistics, and I took only 2 courses in that time fully dedicated to coding, one was in C++ and the other was in SAS. several of my upper-level undergrad courses and all of my masters-level courses used some MATLAB, SAS, or R. I taught myself the basics of SQL and Python (mainly pandas and scikit-learn, two critical Python libraries for data science) before I applied for jobs because they came up a lot in job descriptions. I mentioned 6 coding languages there, but actually the only coding languages in my day-to-day work are SQL and Python, which I mostly taught myself
as you can see from this blog I’m not exactly a newbie to coding, and I remember coding CSS and HTML as early as age 10 or 11, so my experience may not be universal, but I don’t think coding is hard. in fact, coding will probably end up being your favorite part of your job as a data scientist. it beats attending meetings, preparing slides, writing emails, and (the worst of all personally) updating documentation
but math is one of the fundamental skills you will need as a data scientist, so just because you don’t necessarily need it for coding, you will probably need it for developing models, validating your models, and calculating key performance metrics
when I’ve interviewed candidates in the past, most will have a plethora of coding languages on their resume, but I’m only really looking for them to have a good grasp of SQL and Python if they have those on their resume. the thing that is harder to teach is the probability and machine learning theory
I hope I answered your question, sorry I probably wrote too much, but I enjoyed answering, thanks :)
hi!! ive recently stumbled across your “noir” theme, and i love it a lot!! it’s four years old 😭 so i can’t use it, because tumblr doesn’t accept custom themes with “non-HTTPS” urls but, i just want to know how you made it! i can’t seem to find any coding relating to horizontal scrolling :( thank u in advance!!!
I answered a question recently about how to replace the non-https urls. just look at my recent posts you will see it
Hi, sorry for bothering you but about 2 months ago i emailed you about a custom theme you made for me some time ago and I wanted to know is it possible for you to make extra changes in this theme? It's really urgent and I'd be very thankful if you helped me and of course I'd pay.
hi, sorry haven’t been checking my email but I saw your mail just now
I can think of one thing that might work, but I’m not sure.. but I can try it if you send me the code! and you don’t have to pay me anything :)
hey so sorry if this is a bother but I have no honestly where else to ask, but it's a specific question (it doesn't have to do with a problem with your themes but if you'd help me I would be so grateful) why are some photosets/photo posts changing into text posts?
yeah whenever you try and upload from the mobile app, it uploads your post as a text post and it’s awful. there’s no reason I know of, it just feels like tumblr being incompetent haha
you can still upload photos as photo/photoset posts on the desktop website, though!
hi there! I absolutely adore your themes, but it looks like I can't use them. Tumblr keeps telling me the coding includes non-HTTPS URLs, and even when I replace all HTTP's with HTTPS, I can't use them. Is this a problem that's familiar with you?
click inside the html code, press ctrl+f or command+f and enter http: where it says find, https: where it says replace and click “all” to replace all
if you still get an error, try replacing
"//
with
"https://
(just include the first quote, don’t add another one to the end)
hello! i cant find it in your already asked questions but do you happen to know how to automatically have the photos you use in your page go black and white (or have a certain filter)? i remember seeing other themes have it but i cannot find out how. thank u!
yes, what you’re looking for is the grayscale filter in css. you can just google “image grayscale css” and one of the top results should help you!
idk if u care but u might wanna read this about stylish vs stylus joannalannister*tumblr*com/post/178404337761/
actually that’s very interesting...
I just checked stylish’s privacy policy and here’s what I found:

to be honest I’m not very worried about this kind of data collection, but if someone out there is, you can opt out!
