Nice comparison, worth saving for a short while.

Gave them freepythonhub:

Most of my current workflow involves some manner of data analysis / visualization / relatively light stats in an IPython notebook. A new source of data (Factset, if it helps) has well-developed interfaces for R and Matlab – both of which I’ve used extensively in the past, but barely at all in the last ~year.

My question is which – R or Matlab – is going to lend itself to more flexibility in terms of using data pulled through one of them in Python (at least in cases where switching back over to Python makes sense in the first place)? Would you rather have to use a combination of Python and R, or a combination of Python and Matlab?

Thanks!

Clearly R. By far more accessible. Open Source=free. R libraries grow fast in most areas of research. Reminds me what DEC did with the PDP-11. DEC gave them free to many selected Universities. Soon they became the standard. When grads got jobs eventually they opted for what they knew well. And demended it.

Here’s A Map Of The Most Racist Places In America, According To Google Searches

Some of you may have wondered where the most racist areas in America are. Are they heavily-Democratic urban areas where the “true racists” don’t realize that racism is over in America (as claimed by the GOP)?

According to a new study published in PLOS ONE, the most racist people in America live in “the rural Northeast and South.”

Pretty cool

Just the other week, Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel co-published a paper in the Journal of Computational Mathematics. The paper “A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians” can be found on arXiv.

In an article for the Player’s Tribune, Urschel says, “I am a mathematical researcher in my spare time, continuing to do research in the areas of numerical linear algebra, multigrid methods, spectral graph theory and machine learning. I’m also an avid chess player, and I have aspirations of eventually being a titled player one day.”

This reminded me of this tumblr post by classidiot I saw the other day that describes how it’s common to see mathematicians that are proficient in some non-mathematical hobby (playing an instrument, dancing, hiking, so on…), but often not the other way around. I think it’s really fantastic that John Urschel does mathematics just on the side as something he truly enjoys.

Nanpy

May 03, 2015 at 11:38AM Nanpy is a library that use your Arduino as a slave, controlled by a master device where you run your scripts, such as a PC, a Raspberry Pi etc. The main purpose of Nanpy is making programmers’ life easier, providing them a powerful library to create prototypes faster and make Arduino programming a game for kids. http://ift.tt/1bpLYRz
