I'm currently doing Andrew Ng's course and wrote a short review of course 1 here [1]. If you have the mathematics and statistics background and want to go through that rigorously enough then it's exceptional. If you are not t

In the EU we have the incoming GDPR to legislate for (and penalise) data breaches like this. This directive is very clear and detailed on how data should be collected, securely stored and disposed of. US law is a decade behind the EU.

I'm always a bit disappointed that yhat indiscriminately used 'ggplot' for the python package name. Using a variation on the name would have been more considerate.

As an Irish and European person, I want you to know that your comment is misinformed and misleading. Global tax avoidance and evasion by multinationals has no relation to the formation of the EU, and the Irish government are at a gigantic e

Hi Chris, firstly thanks for all the work you've done publishing brilliant articles on supervised and unsupervised methods and visualisation on your old blog and now in Distill. This question isn't about feature visualisation, but

Sparse heterogeneous data is often the type of data stored in NoSQL dbs. Modelled in a relational way, this produces many tables with many NULL fields, while keeping it in a key value format is neat and tidy. I'd recommend the paper Wh

And obesity levels are higher than ever too. Dismissing this article's message because we are living longer is missing the point. We are living longer despite our poor physical health.

That's a P/E of 60... Also this: > In exchange, Patreon takes only a tiny 5% cut. I hope this is sarcasm, because if I had to pay 5% to make any other transaction I'd be fuming. With a marginal cost of facilitating a new p

Which is more legible and understandable? f(a, g(h(x), b)) h(x) %>% g(b) %>% f(a, .) "Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

I'd tend to agree. Any large corporation or financial institution that has adopted Hadoop has done so for very good reasons.

If anyone wants to know how deep down the rabbit hole this stuff goes, they should read this blog post [1] on writing a Levenshtein Automaton to speed up fuzzy matching in Lucene by 100 times. It gets deep! [1]: http://blog.mikem

Always impressed with the expressiveness and flexibility of the tidytext framework for analysing text. Well done Julia! Julia and David Robinson's book Tidy Text Mining with R[1] has plenty more great text mining examples like this one

Does anyone have a place/site for browsing through new/popular utilities? I've been on Ubuntu for the last year and I love it, but reading this I just realised I don't have anywhere to browse or find things like this.

It's very easy to set up an RStudio server. I used to run one on Azure. Took minutes to set up and you get the whole RStudio suite, including R notebooks.
