Good Local Posts
- Adam Kelleher wrote about his new causality package for python & how it works with pandas
- Andrew Gelman asks his readers what this student, asked to p-hack, should do
- My coworkers wrote two great posts recently: Josh on running Scala in Jupyter, and Allison on DFP Key-Value tracking
Miscellany
- I found out about binder from Julia Evans' blog (which you should read): it will build docker images of your jupyter notebooks, which is a huge asset for reproducibility!
- ggvis is officially dormant
