Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Maëlle Salmon. At my day job I’m a data manager and statistician for an epidemiology project called CHAI lead by Cathryn Tonne. CHAI means “Cardio-vascular health effects of air pollution in Telangana, India” and you can find more about it in our recently published protocol paper . At my institute you could also find the PASTA and TAPAS projects so apparently epidemiologists are good at naming things, or obsessed with food… But back to CHAI! This week Sean Lopp from RStudio wrote an interesting blog post about internal packages. I liked reading it and feeling good because ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Justin Kestelyn. Welcome to our fourth edition of “This Month in the Ecosystem,” a digest of highlights from October 2013 (never intended to be comprehensive; for completeness, see Hadoop Weekly). For generating sheer excitement, that month installed a high bar to meet in the future: Hadoop 2 Became Stable with the 2.2 (“GA”) ReleaseThe idea that this news could be done justice in a few sentences strains credulity. (Furthermore, it has been covered elsewhere widely and thoroughly at this point.) Suffice to say here that this release will transform the Big Data ecosystem ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. What would happen if a real-world airline pilot found himself inside a multiplayer flight simulator along with a bunch of gamers, but insisted that everything was real? That's the premise behind AirForceProud95's YouTube playlist, where he joins multiplayer sessions of Flight Simulator X and insists on playing it as a real-world, regulation-following captain. The interactions with the other gamers are hilarious (some NSFW language):  That's all from us for this week. We'll be back on Monday with roundups from the useR!2017 conference that concludes today in Brussels. Enjoy your weekend, and we'll see ... Read More
