"Data Scientist" (Kareem Carr) thinks that "Python is a massive pain in the butt to install"
For the uninitiatied: This is the absolute r-slur who spent weeks arguing that "2 + 2 ≠ 4"
https://www.westernjournal.com/wokeness-comes-mathematics-academics-saying-225/
He's also famous for making sophomoric ggplot charts in R to show off his "data science" chops 
and going viral for bullshit like this:
tech/science swag. 
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all!

“Data science” is r-slurred and made up. I've never met a “data scientist” who knows what they're doing

It doesn't matter. The job of data scientists is to plausibly "prove" things are "true" that executives want to be true.
At my old job at a marketing company, they had a team of stats PhDs who kept blabbing on and on about "null hypothesis" and "statistical significance" and said we needed to run our A/B/C/D/E test for 150 years because they were changing too many variables and we didn't have that much traffic anyway.
They fired the statistics geeks and replaced them with data scientists who provided beautiful charts proving D had the most lift on conversion because the yellow line went up more than the other lines over the previous week.

This is all true and further proves the point that they're all r-slurred

I met some RSP foid fans via my old gf, one of them was a data scientist and I assumed we'd get along cuz I'm a programmer. And then I overheard one of her zoom calls and it was some of the most r-slurred shit. One of the black guys on her team had a dramatic meltdown during the team meeting, verbally attacking people and rage quitting, and before that it sounded like a bullshit mill. Then I started noticing she wasn't very bright. She was extremely good at quietly fitting in and never adding anything interesting to convos

I used to hook up with a DS girl who was one of those “day in the life in tech” tiktokers who made vids about how she worked 30 minutes per day. She ended up getting fired and the newspaper did a big article about her. Then she got a new job as a DS girlie somewhere else and continued doing the same thing (nothing)

It was more like a “where are they now” kind of thing like how there used to be a ton of this content and now it went away.

One of the funniest parts of the "Data Science" degrees is that they can be humanities degrees. Meaning they could achieve a Masters or PhD level and only end up taking a handful of cross-over courses in STEM depending on the institution.
