I believe I have a very good setup for working remotely. I have a house with a yard, and I can work indoors, or I can work outdoors (and regularly do.) The key, however, is that I work at a coworking space 2-3 days a week for part of my wor

I am so thankful that there are smart passionate people who are smart and fascinated by stuff I would never be fascinated about. I loved the visualization of the path the ring and the coin took. Just really lovely presentation.

This is a common sentiment towards Los Angeles, and one which I find a little closed minded and surprising. LA is a vast sprawling megalopolis, a collection of dozens of small cities, all with their own culture and approach towards life. Fr

The timing of this post is pretty great! I work a lot with "largish files" in R, and while R has gotten much better at reading big files (thanks to data.table's fread), often times you really don't want to work with the

Dell sells a server with 6TB of ram (I believe.) I think the limit is way over 2TB. If you want to be able to query it quickly for analytical workloads, MPPs like Vertica scale up to 150+TB (at Facebook.) I honestly don't know what the

The community and ecosystem around R is rapidly changing and adapting. R has a long and storied history as a niche language for statistics and analysis. Much like those disciplines have entered the mainstream of modern technology enabled bu

there was a great keynote at this last useR! conference by John Chambers about how R's predecessor, S, was designed as an interface language ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hcpuRB5nGs ). He discusses how as part of it

I have used the Domino platform a number of times when I needed access to high-end hardware to build some large scale models (in R). They have cool technology and are pretty reasonably priced.

I really have to second this. It's fast, it's smart, it handles almost anything, and it reliably gives good error messages. It's an important part of my data science toolbelt.
