Yeah but jupyter leaves bad taste in the mouth. Very frustrating to debug, binary file (no git/diff), much harder to layout than RMarkdown, no variable explorer. Additionally, the kernel idea is kind of lame/not implemented well.

R Notebooks are such a killer feature!

It's worth noting that this is just Azure logic apps with a front end. You can write API and Logic apps yourself and publish to your users.

I try to install Ubuntu every 18-24 months or so. A problem occurs in about 2 days that I have to google and spend hours in frustrations. No, thanks. 2016 is not the year of Linux on the desktop.

No, he was comparing people in the US vs. their continents of origin. He doesn't try to explain why math skills differ. He simply states that they do.

How is the selection bias relevant to the discussion? The fact remains.

So you never click on an ad, unless you are shopping. Cool.

I am at a point where I feel the need for an addon that blocks everything that mentions "artificial intelligence". STOP already! There's no such thing. There won't be such thing. You have 0 idea about what you are talkin

This is exactly the argument AGAINST Tesla. I saw the luxury tesla model. It is so crude compared to the corresponding Benz. Daimler, BMW, Audi and other manufacturers have been making cars for a hundred years. They know how to do it. I&#x2

Another friendly reminder: Steve Ballmer is super mad at Gates and the board for ousting him. He is especially mad at Gates all the way back from succession. He obviously hates Nadella too. Jealousy is a bitch.

Can you give a little bit of details about your background in AI or at least statistics/machine learning?

There's Pyramid Analytics which is officially endorsed by Microsoft as "Power Bi onprem" and present on the Power BI's homepage.

Of course they have on-prem versions. A lot of people are content with using cloud services though, so on-prem solutions cost a pretty penny.

ruh-roh, master-master replication, multithreaded eexecution, vacuuming tables, in-memory OLTP. Yes postgres is cutting edge and without blame. Stay away from the evil SQL Server, nothing to be gained there.

And Excel has cube formulas (= MDX) which can process both SSAS and Power BI datasets. It's not even funny how far ahead MS are in the BI space (ask $DATA shareholders). It's not healthy to be honest.

by blahi 10y ago
To be honest with you, if you have to ask that question, you don't need SQL Server. In order not to mistake my comment with an attack (it really isn't) one reason is tooling. Postgres doesn't have 1/10th of the tooling a

I've always wondered why youtube and twitch don't just make a platform for content creators to sign direct deals and get a cut. Seems like a no-brainer IMO.

yeah, debugging in jupyter is absolutely great!

You are being manipulated constantly, 24/7. By your friends, co-workers, family, acquitances, movies, songs, books, by yourself. This isn't really a valid reason, IMO.

In addition to the rest of the replies - IDE tooling, like a debugger, variable explorer and other nice features like that.

Hey, I'm wondering, how exactly does facebook selling ads against your data affect you negatively?

Non-standard evaluation is one of the best features of R.

In what world do you live where this does not have AD?

I have nothing to apologize for. I have a conversation with somebody who compares apples to oranges and you come and say "i didn't say anything about apples, why you stuff things in my mouth?". Well, don't put your mouth

That seems more about computer science and graphs than what the average analyst would be doing.

I am talking in terms of much longer spans of time than 5 years.

So what's the solution?

I don't think any non-radical person would be a proponent of 0 regulation capitalism. That is basically anarchism. The problem is not with radicals, they will always exist. The problem is that people in the middle are getting tripped u

I suggest taking a step back, reading the comment thread again and taking some of your own advice.
