Shameless self promotion of my own blog with a lot of data analysis/visualization resources: http://minimaxir.com

Currently working in a blog post (hopefully will be up tomorrow morning) on how I reverse-engineered the Taxi Map of NYC which was posted in the HN comments this week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10004007) using only R and ggplot2 as visualization tools: http://i.imgur.com/WzMnCbU.png

I've been a big fan of your blog and also tried to recruit you at one time to no response!

Yet another list of helpful data science resources: https://github.com/okulbilisim/awesome-datascience

Also, the most useful single piece of info I have found regarding machine learning: http://scikit-learn.org/dev/tutorial/machine_learning_map/in...

Does anyone have a "top 5ish" version of this list for people who want to keep up with the major stuff, but don't want to flood their reader with data science? I can't tell if this repo is ordered (so that I could just take the top X), but I suspect that it isn't.

Could they add a line or two explaining what is covered in each blog?

Tangent- I just saw this AMA with Zachary Neal and Randy Olson (starts at 1pm EST) and thought it might be of interest here:

The Stitch Fix Tech Blog is also nice: http://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/

And has recently covered GAMs, mixed effects models, word2vec, and tools like Pyxley.

I kinda did the same thing but I put mine in opml format so people could import them into their reader.

What's a good RSS reader tool these days?

BinaryIdiot 10 years ago | |

Feedly? Honestly almost every single one of them is identical and they fall into two camps: one is the utility feed reader where all it does is display things in lists and keeps unread statuses (feedly, bunch of other misc apps) and the other camp tries to make them fancy / look nicer (instapaper, pocket, even evernote) but also keeps track of unread statuses, etc.

They're all "good" though I'm not convinced anyone provides a great experience in the read-it-later game. But now I'm getting off topic and ranting.

Feedly might be great, but until I can sign up with my email address (not through connecting it to another social account), then they're not really an option.

I'm pretty partial to Newsblur, when I'm in an RSS mood. For a while now I've just been in the habit of manually going to X sites.

https://newsblur.com/

There are different layout options, in case you don't like the default.

The mobile app is nice, too.

Inoreader functions very similarly to how Google Reader worked:

If you're on a Mac I can highly recommend ReadKit http://readkitapp.com/

I actually use Feedly to store the RSS feeds in the cloud but this is integrated into the app. On iOS I use Reeder http://reederapp.com/ios/
