What did I accomplish today? I finished my lesson on naive Bayes, learned about linear dependence, and began learning about graph-based algorithms.
Because of my unfortunate procrastination and a request from a family member to do some unexpected work, don't have too much time today to document my experiences. I'll likely produce a follow-up or two on Saturday to compensate.
On a side note: I really despise the new emoji. I've confirmed it's not just because they're new; the icons go against everything Android stands for, and, based on a quick questioning from my family, the old icons actually appear better to the eye. I'm disappointed the Android emoji designers aren't taking the philosophy of "Be together, not the same" to heart. I don't want an Android phone to use iOS emoji. I want Android's unique brand identity to show through.
My decision: I'll wait until next week for any blaring issues to surface, and then I'll give in to the terrible cat emoji.
I have some data to sift through and manually input onto paper. Have a good night.

Other news
Today, the third developer preview for Android O came out. I've been reluctant to join the Android Beta Program, though. My Nexus 6P already dies around 40%, and I don't want to tempt the gods of battery life to increase that number. Sure, Android Nougat already introduced improvements to Doze, and Android O will put background execution limits for services, but I know the real problem is likely the hardware. Because my phone is from Best Buy, and my benefactor didn't get extended warranty, I'm essentially screwed until I get a new phone. (Hopefully, that new phone is a Pixel 2 that I receive for Christmas, but I'm not too optimistic about that.)On a side note: I really despise the new emoji.
