Predicting Your Portfolio's Future: Unveiling the Code Hey financial wizards and data enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the world of Python and portfolio prediction. We'll be dissecting a code script that helps you estimate the future risk and return of your investment choices. But first, a disclaimer: Predicting the market with absolute certainty is a fool's errand. This script is a tool to inform your decisions, not a magic crystal ball. Now, let's crack the code! The script utilizes the nselib library to access historical stock data from the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). Here's a breakdown of the key functions: format_data : This function takes a list of stock symbols and retrieves their closing prices for the past year. It then cleans and formats the data into a Pandas DataFrame for easy analysis. Expected_risk : This function calculates the expected risk of your portfolio based on the weights assigned to each stock and their historical co...

Codec Error I was using Kazam to record my Kali Linux screen and exported the recordings to Windows for editing, as Linux isn't as robust for video editing. The editor was throwing a codec error because the recordings were in H.264 (.mp4) format. Kazam doesn't offer much flexibility to change codecs, so manual re-encoding was necessary. This codec error isn't exclusive to Kazam recordings. Other videos in the same format might encounter similar issues and can likely be resolved with the same solution. Solution I re-encoded the video files using FFmpeg. To streamline and automate the process, I created a Python script to re-encode all video files within a specified folder. You can find the code and explanation below.   Installing Dependencies Make shoure to have all the required pakages sudo apt update sudo apt install ffmpeg   Code Explanation This Python script is designed to process video files within a specified directory. It performs the following tasks: Prompts for In...

New Sketch By:- sptrop Hello friends I'm back with another sketch. This time I tried to keep things simple as last time I was kind a get messed up, but it's really looks kind a bit empty. I will may tray, few things with it later. I completed this piece in just one day, unlike my previous one (3 days) but I get messed up as well, especially with her face. I really think I have a long way to go with faces specially while drawing a whole body portrait. I don't understand! When I practiced face in parts they came out pretty well, but when I put all together I get messed up. Even in this sketch I don't know how many time I redraw the face, but still, it's not even near to be good. Only off thing I can tell about my sketch is its face.   My Planes To Improve Portraits I have decided to learn only faces for next 30 days But the question is how and from where I can learn. Being a self learning artist is itself a challenge. Basically, I want to say, I have no one to tell ...

 My First Sketchbook (BRUSTRO) I ordered my first sketchbook BRUSTRO A5 160 GSM on 4 February from amazon and received it by 6 February. That one day 5 February was long like a hell. I was already known that what I was going to draw but the day I receive it! It was like something so precious to me. On my first go I wasn ' t wanting to dray something ugly in it so I change my ideas many time searches a lot of reference and then I finally decided to sketch . My idea was to draw my past feelings or sad feelings so I decided to draw an angle crying in the back and a boy in front with the dead look , don ' t ask me how I get this idea but yes I enjoyed sketching in Brustro . Its pages are thick and textured as compared to normal paper it ' s not soft . Many people may think that textured paper may effect their sketching style badly , at least I was but it ' s not ...
