Find R and Python posts in the R/Python Posts and in the R en Español categories. Everything else, interesting or not, is in Random Stuff

After years of being a PC guy, I got a macbook. That means I had to install some stuff and trying to be a multitasker, I recorded and uploaded it to youtube. Starting with R and RStudio, also Python (it really took 1 minute), and git came already installed. So (spanish speaking alert!!!) here you can check the videos of the installing process and a longer video in which I set git and python in RStudio and test them.
En mi colegio (o secundaria), teníamos un cura como rector que decía: “el que controla su lengua, es varón perfecto”. Cambiemos a: “el que controla sus versiones, es buen coder mi brother”. También podríamos decir: “deja de hablar huevadas”… pero bueno, al tema. El control de versiones acolita, acolita un montón, sin importar el tipo de archivo con el que trabajes. Puedes olvidarte de: tesis_v1, tesis_v2,….tesis_final, tesis_final_final, tesis_la_vencida, …tesis_final_final_final_imprimir…
Hola a todos, hola mami, me hice youtuber.
Tuve que descargar R y actualizar R Studio, y además, por preguntas de un amigo, me decidí por hacer un video sobre cómo puedes instalar R y R Studio (para windows, aunque da casi igual el OS que tengan, los pasos se parecen).
Si eres nuevo en Data Science, estarás empezando a instalar programas y a mirar qué puedes hacer con ellos.
As a Data Scientist, have you ever been asked what data science is? Have you struggled to answer?
I’ve found myself in this situation before, and just started talking and talking yet failing to give a clear answer. The short answer is: “everything that has to do with data”.
To start, data has to be sourced somehow and from somewhere, this is usually done by data engineers or software engineers (data scientists’ best friends in the whole wide universe).
If you’re an R user, this might be (extremely) helpful. Styling your code might be a pain in the a$$. Even worse, receiving messy code from someone else… What if I told you that you can style your code with one single line of code?
Well, a few weeks ago I was in front of a very messy code and started tidying it line by line… after a few minutes I had enough.
