While live tweeting for DM Radio’s webinar with thatDot Streaming Graph, I’ve realized that many hostile presences in our ecosystems are in fact Advanced Persistent Threats. They’re highly funded, knowledgeable and of course, extremely difficult to detect.
Read MoreIn the fast-paced world of data management, the concept of semantics has emerged as a crucial element, acting as the glue that holds vast datasets together. This sentiment will be echoed by industry experts at AtScale's Semantics Summit on April 24, 2024, where thought leaders will gather to discuss the evolution and impact of semantics in data management.
Read MoreIt is very important to me that all consumers of content feel valued by DiKayo Data and have access to #DataFemme content in their preferred methods.

Read MoreQuelquefois, j'espère que ma connaissance de beaucoup de langues comme La Française et Le Coréen est bonne pour ma carrière comme une analyste. Les langes technologique peuvent avoir des similarités que m’aider a translater comme requis.
Read MoreThough TV Dramas will always be a beloved method of learning a new language, the interactive nature of spaces definitely lends itself to the task as well. Spaces are free, accessible at most hours, and once you’re comfortable enough to try speaking, you have a built in way to do so - just request the mic!
Read MoreFor crypto investors solely interested in trading for money’s sake, staking is an attractive option. Nobody likes to wait for eons as ethereum rises and falls, knowing that their money is not making profits, nor guaranteed to do so. Accumulating interest can be a positive alternative to letting your money sit. However, if you are using your ethereum to invest in NFTs or ENS domains, both of which have their own added significance, your money isn’t sitting.
Read MoreMy guru in the content creation space is no doubt Eric Kavanagh. He’s a media icon with unparalleled insight into what makes the tech industry tick.
On today’s episode of Inside Analysis, Eric and his guest Josh Constine of Signalfire reached back through the roots of humanity to describe current opportunities and challenges taking over the creator economy.
Read MoreMy favorite thing about Nikema’s spaces is that she does not shy away from the topics that often float in the air as elephants in the room. I’d followed Nikema on Twitter before Spaces were introduced, so when I saw a few weeks ago that she was speaking about mental health and preserving one’s peace within the tech industry, I had to check it out. After attending several of her Twitter Spaces since then, I can say that Nikema has sold me on the platform’s ability as a whole to create widespread change.
Read MoreJust like any space - virtual or otherwise - Twitter is what you make of it. But what I can say with absolute confidence is that your success in any room grows parallel to how much you genuinely love being there. So instead of thinking of “networking” as a straight pathway to profit, identify your dreams and let them lead you to the right communities, connections and relationships - ones that will inspire your dreams to fruition and be the foundation for many future dreams to flourish.
Read MoreEvery episode of #DataFemme prior to the most recent one: “A Data Lover’s Domain”, was edited in a very similar fashion. I imported all the guests’ tracks individually into my software and played with them: a little puzzle that always resulted in a streamlined product. But lately, I have received feedback from my guests that instilled in me a need to change my editing process.
Read MoreIn the airport, my favorite past time is watching whatever show I’ve been binging on Netflix. This time it’s Criminal Minds. However, in my rush to pack, I forgot headphones. So I figured I’d scratch that crime-obsessed itch by investigating Matthew Ashby’s {crimedata} package in R for y’all…
Read MoreSome of you may know that I’m a Juilliard trained musician. But did you know how much I LOVE karaoke? Lately, I’ve been singing karaoke at my local watering hole several times a week and let me tell you: it’s a real physical, mental and emotional release. However, it often happens that I want to try singing songs by a certain artist but can’t decide which song would be best to break the ice. Fortunately, there is a package in R that can help me randomly pull a selection of an artist’s songs and let the computer decide how I make my mark. That package’s name is “chorrrds.”
Read MoreWe all know there are casualties that come from innovation. Many people don’t even like to talk about them. But I, through #DataFemme, am a champion for Ethical AI. And I firmly believe that every life that could be potentially negatively impacted by the growth of technology should be protected and taken into consideration.
Read MoreThis morning, I was talking with a friend of mine collecting thoughts about the hiring process and subsequent work environments for data scientists. She had identified the problem I hear about so often through my work: companies need data people but the hiring process is as flawed as the lack of efforts to retain such talent. How do we make our organizations cultivate an environment where data scientists can thrive with their unique set of skills?
Read MoreLast week, I was presented with the interesting challenge of tutoring someone on how to trade options, specifically on ETRADE. I’m quite well-versed in how to use E*TRADE for stock trading having done it for the past ten years. But options? They’re pretty much a foreign concept. Fortunately, my student only had one relatively simple question: What is the strike price and how is it set?
Read MoreIf someone important to your life is a Trump supporter and you are not, these past few days are probably bringing up some confusing and frustrating emotions. The normal coping mechanisms of “not talking about politics” or watching news in separate rooms aren’t exactly possible as the world waits in anticipation for the final election results. But can a healthy relationship really be doomed from a few days?
Read MoreYou may think that by choosing a career as stereotypically “nerdy” as data science, you can avoid having to use social media. But actually, data science being so new as a field, you can’t. Not only is networking worth everything in our insular field, but the content sharing and collaborative debugging that happens on social media is at least partially responsible for pushing the industry forward.
Read MoreThe thing is, as many of you already know, getting into a PhD program, though difficult, is the least of the hurdles that such a career path will entail. Aside from all the many requirements necessary to gain acceptance, there are several tips I’ve collected from my professors and family that ring true, but might not be obvious to someone who hasn’t yet been through it. I’ll share the top 3 with you in this blog.
Read MoreSalary negotiation is the type of activity that gives us all anxiety for some reason or another. But as we gain more knowledge and practice, it doesn’t have to be. As a freelancer and occasional fun-time employee before starting up on my own, I’ve learned a lot of tactics that make my negotiations more successful and smooth. I’m here on this wonderful Wine Wednesday evening to share my top three tips with you:
