Yet another list of helpful data science resources: https://github.com/okulbilisim/awesome-datascience https://github.com/okulbilisim/awesome-datascience Also, the most useful single piece of info I have found regarding machine learning: http://scikit-learn.org/dev/tutorial/machine_learning_map/index.html http://scikit-learn.org/dev/tutorial/machine_learning_map/in...

The Stitch Fix Tech Blog is also nice: http://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/ http://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/ And has recently covered GAMs, mixed effects models, word2vec, and tools like Pyxley.

What's a good RSS reader tool these days?
- ChrisArgyle 11y ago
  I've been using Feedly since Google Reader shut down. http://feedly.com/ http://feedly.com/
- dp1234 11y ago
  Inoreader functions very similarly to how Google Reader worked: https://www.inoreader.com https://www.inoreader.com
- jljljl 11y ago
  If you're looking for an offline reader, and you happen to be on OSX + iOS, I recommend Reeder. http://reederapp.com http://reederapp.com
- BinaryIdiot 11y ago
  Feedly? Honestly almost every single one of them is identical and they fall into two camps: one is the utility feed reader where all it does is display things in lists and keeps unread statuses (feedly, bunch of other misc apps) and the other camp tries to make them fancy / look nicer (instapaper, pocket, even evernote) but also keeps track of unread statuses, etc. They're all "good" though I'm not convinced anyone provides a great experience in the read-it-later game. But now I'm getting off topic and ranting.

    Feedly might be great, but until I can sign up with my email address (not through connecting it to another social account), then they're not really an option.

  I'm pretty partial to Newsblur, when I'm in an RSS mood. For a while now I've just been in the habit of manually going to X sites. https://newsblur.com/ https://newsblur.com/ There are different layout options, in case you don't like the default. http://i.imgur.com/meKnG6B.png http://i.imgur.com/meKnG6B.png The mobile app is nice, too.

Shameless self promotion of my own blog with a lot of data analysis/visualization resources: http://minimaxir.com http://minimaxir.com Currently working in a blog post (hopefully will be up tomorrow morning) on how I reverse-engineered the Taxi Map of NYC which was posted in the HN comments this week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10004007 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10004007) using only R and ggplot2 as visualization tools: http://i.imgur.com/WzMnCbU.png http://i.imgur.com/WzMnCbU.png

  I've been a big fan of your blog and also tried to recruit you at one time to no response!

Tangent- I just saw this AMA with Zachary Neal and Randy Olson (starts at 1pm EST) and thought it might be of interest here: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/3fzs8v/science_ama_series_we_created_a_map_of_reddit_to/ https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/3fzs8v/science_ama...

Could they add a line or two explaining what is covered in each blog?

Does anyone have a "top 5ish" version of this list for people who want to keep up with the major stuff, but don't want to flood their reader with data science? I can't tell if this repo is ordered (so that I could just take the top X), but I suspect that it isn't.
