Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Dario Radečić. R is a programming language created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman in 1993. It was designed for analytics, statistics, and data visualizations. Nowadays, R can handle anything from basic programming to machine learning and deep learning. Today we will explore how to approach learning and practicing R for programmers. As mentioned before, R can do almost anything. It performs the best when applied to anything data related – such as statistics, data science, and machine learning. The language is most widely used in academia, but many large companies such as Google, Facebook, Uber, and ... Read More

Feed: CIO. Author: . The disruptions of 2020 have fundamentally changed how we work. Social distancing, minimising our contact with objects in the environment that are not our own possessions, and remote working have all forced organisations to re-assess how they work – sometimes right down to the foundation.Working from home has occupied much of the media conversation through the year, but the disruption of 2020 has affected how those that cannot work from home operate, too. Field workers, for example, have needed to adopt new working arrangements, and develop COVID-19 safety plans that are specific to their respective sectors.With ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Big data has an unfortunate tendency to get messy. A few years in, a growing database that use to be small, lean, and well-designed, has better odds than not of becoming something large, bloated, and with best practices tossed aside and now considered unsalvageable.There’s a few common reasons that this happens, some better than others: Technological limitation: The underlying tech doesn’t support the scale. Say transactions or referential integrity across partitions in a sharded system. Stability: Certain operations come to be considered too risky. e.g. Batch update operations that have unpredictable performance properties. Cost/effort: Doing things the ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. General purpose SSD volumes make it easy and cost effective for customers to meet the IOPS and throughput requirements for transaction-intensive workloads, such as virtual desktops, test and development environments, low-latency interactive applications, and boot volumes. With existing general purpose SSD (gp2) volumes, performance is tied to storage capacity, enabling customers to get higher IOPS and throughput for their applications by provisioning a larger storage volume size. But customers want to scale performance and throughput without paying for storage that they don’t need.   Next generation gp3 volumes offer the ability to independently provision IOPS and throughput, ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. Many developers already manage container images privately within their organization using Amazon ECR's private repositories. Amazon ECR hosts images in a highly available and scalable architecture enabling developers to reliably deploy containers for their own applications. And AWS Partners use the AWS Marketplace for Containers to make container software available for use by AWS customers. However, when looking to share images publicly for anyone to find and download—whether for free or licensed use—they must upload to public websites and registries that do not offer availability commitments and acceptable usage limits. To work around this, developers duplicate and ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Jen Sabourin. Editor's note: This blog post is the third in a series of posts, originally published here by our partner News Literacy Project, exploring the role of data in understanding our world. Data Collection - one of six strategies to make sense of data in the news As discussed in previous posts, statistics and visual representations of data can be misleading. But what happens when the data itself is misleading? And if data is supposed to be based on fact, you might wonder how data can be misleading. It comes down to the way it's collected. It's essential to have a strict process of collecting data before analyzing or presenting it. To ensure ... Read More
