Guest Alison Hill Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes We're kicking off the new year of Sustain with host Richard Littauer discussing sustaining open source software with guest, Alison Hill, VP of Product at Anaconda, and a cognitive scientist with a PhD in psychology. Alison shares her journey from academia to industry, emphasizing the importance of statistics and data science in her career. She explains her role at Anaconda, focusing on developing secure and compatible distribution of Python packages and managing the community repository, Anaconda.org. The conversation covers the significance of product management in open source projects, particularly those with corporate backing, and how these roles can help in balancing user needs and business goals. In addition, Alison shares her thoughts on the challenges and strategies for maintaining open source projects without corporate support and touches on the ‘palmer penguins' project. Click to download now! [00:01:13] Alison discusses her transition from academic research in cognitive science to industry and data science, emphasizing her passion for statistics and education. [00:02:41] Alison explains her work at Anaconda, focusing on product management and the Anaconda distribution, aiming to ease the use of Python and R packages in the industry and academia. She also elaborates on other projects she oversees, including Anaconda.org and its role in supporting open source projects and enterprise needs. [00:05:17] We hear how Anaconda sustains itself financially through enterprise offerings and the balance of supporting open source while maintaining a business model. [00:07:14] Alison shares her previous experience as the first PM of data science communication at Posit (formerly RStudio) and her role in enhancing data science education and product development. [00:12:49] Richard and Alison explore the challenges of sustaining open source projects without corporate backing and strategies for maintaining personal and project health in the open source community. Alison discusses common mistakes companies make by confusing project management with product management in open source projects. [00:17:18] Richard asks about the skills needed for developers to adopt a product-oriented approach. Alison suggests that successful product-oriented developers often have high empathy for end-users and experience with the pain points at scale, which helps them anticipate and innovate solutions effectively. [00:20:49] Richard expresses concerns about the sustainability of smaller, community-led open source projects that lack corporate backing and the structured support that comes with it. Alison acknowledges her limited experience with non-corporate open source projects but highlights the difficulty in maintaining such projects without institutional support, and she shares her personal challenges with keeping up with open source project demands. [00:27:41] Alison stresses the importance of clear goals and understanding the implications of joining larger ecosystems, reflects on the need for clarity about the desired outcomes when joining larger ecosystems, and shares examples of successful and unsuccessful engagements in such settings. [00:29:52] She discusses alternative sustainability models, including paid support and subscriptions. [00:33:00] Alison brings up the example of Apache Arrow and the challenges it faced with corporate sponsorship. [00:34:23] We wrap up with Richard acknowledging that not all open source projects require significant funding or formal business models, and Alison explains the ‘palmerpenguins' project she did at the beginning of COVID. [00:37:07] Find out where you can follow Alison on the web. Quotes [00:22:18] “What is the minimum level of support you need to not feel like you're drowning?” Spotlight [00:38:14] Richard's spotlight is Bernard Cornwell.

In this episode, we talk with educational consultant, data scientist, book author, podcast host, and former educational psychologist Ryan Estrellado about living in the Venn diagrams of overlapping professional communities and finding your (our) place in those intersections. We talk about practical strategies for working with educators who have a wide variety of interests in data and specifically tools for data analysis, and about breaking down common misconceptions about data analysis or data science as it can be used to answer real questions in local educational settings. Although we had planned to focus the episode on Ryan's new book, we accidentally ended up spending an entire hour discussing about unusual professional trajectories and how data and coding have influenced all of us (for the better). Some day we will do another episode where we actually talk about Ryan's book, but in the meantime, we recommend that you go ahead and check it out!

You may not realize it consciously, but beautiful visualizations have rules. The rules are often implict and manifest themselves as expectations about how the data is summarized, presented, and annotated so you can quickly extract the information in the underlying data using just visual cues. It’s a bit abstract but very profound, and these principles underlie the ggplot2 package in R that makes famously beautiful plots with minimal code. This episode covers a paper by Hadley Wickham (author of ggplot2, among other R packages) that unpacks the layered approach to graphics taken in ggplot2, and makes clear the assumptions and structure of many familiar data visualizations.

¡Muy buenos días a todos! Hoy vengo a presentaros, como el pasado viernes, libros técnicos de trading. En este caso, más tecnológico y es que creo que para los que quieran combinar la parte más tecnológica con la parte del trading. Voy a subdividirlo en dos vertientes muy diferenciadas y de antemano os aviso que todos los libros que voy a exponer son los que me he leído o los que tengo en cola para leer. Lo que habrá alguno que os recomiende por el hecho que lo he encontrado interesante y esté esperando a leerlo cuando acabe el resto. Otra cosa que cabe decir es que la mayoría de libros (o toda creo de hecho) está en inglés. En castellano no hay nada al respecto que valga la pena o que al menos me haya topado. Antes de empezar por eso quiero decir dos cosas. Esta es la primera parte del podcast de libros técnicos de trading porque da para mucho, sin duda. La segunda cosas es especificar que todos los libros que voy a decir hoy van enfocados sobretodo a gente que sepa programación o que quiera aprender a base de hostias. Siento decirlo así de brusco, pero estos últimos pueden ser gente que quiera aprender a usar sus habilidades de trading para automatizar procesos. Bien, pues estas personas quiero que tengan en cuenta que les costará al principio porque no solo tienen que chocar con la vertiente de entender como hacer las cosas sino amueblar la cabeza a nivel de programación y entender que todo es diferente y lógico. Hay gente que conozco que ha podido y puede de hecho, programar muy bien viniendo de una vertiente de letras. Y es que al final como en todo señores, se han de poner horas de trabajo y estudio. Pues venga, empezamos con la parte generalista. Qué quiere decir. Pues muy fácil: lo que se ha de hacer antes de empezar con la parte técnica, es estudiar programación aplicada. Es decir, los lenguajes de programación que nos van a servir para poder hacer estos códigos. Y es que lo más importante es saber qué tipo de códigos haremos. Podemos hacer lenguajes de programación más aplicados a una plataforma o más específicos. Voy a pone un ejemplo. Cuando estamos dispuestos a usar una plataforma como es Metatrader 4 de Metaquotes, hará falta que sepamos del lenguaje de programación C y que además apliquemos lo que ellos añaden a este lenguaje que sirve para poder operar y poner las operaciones. Esto es no es poca cosa y de hecho, ellos han hecho un manual entero (sin necesidad de libros alternativos) para que puedas leerte su documentación. A parte, hay una larga y extensa documentación de artículos muy interesantes de como usar su plataforma MT4 con infinidad de usos o conectores alternativos. Otros lenguajes como Easylanguage, el cual está usándose en plataformas como ProRealTime, TradeStation o Multicharts, aunque ellos te dan un propio manual para poder aprender este lenguaje que aunque se llame easylanguage, para los iniciados no será tan fácil, ya que se ha de entender, saber y conocer la lógica de programación para poder sacarle todo el partido necesario. Como supongo que entenderéis todos. Pues bien, en la parte generalista hay lenguajes de programación como Python y R. Sobretodo me centraré en estos dos ya que la semana que viene haremos un repaso de que se puede hacer con ellos, que no es para nada poco, ya veréis y es por eso que me centraré sobretodo en estos dos de momento, aunque haré hincapié más adelante y en los cursos a lenguajes de programación de un poco más alto nivel como Java. También haré algo de repaso de C++, aunque de hecho haré menos, ya que hay mucha gente que prefiere no bajar tanto de nivel si no es para una cosa muy especifica. Para aquellos que querais un lenguaje diferente o algo, hacedmelo saber y sin problemas, lo hago! En cuanto a libros de Python (sin tener en cuenta la vertiente de trading) podemos tener la posibilidad de aprender rápido o a un ritmo un poco más normal. En el caso que no tengas tiempo para leer mucho, te recomiendo: – Python: Learn Python in One Day and Learn It Well de Jamie Chan. Este libro se lee solo. Es super-sencillo. En pocas horas aprendes lo básico de python. Lo necesario para plasmar ideas, para aprender a manejarte lo suficiente como para empezar. No necesitas más Yo como soy un grandísimo amante de los libros de O’reilly, voy a recomendaros unos cuantos en este podcast y empezamos por: – Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming de Mark Lutz. Es uno de los más completos que he encontrado nunca. La verdad es que si queréis profundizar en Python, no podéis dejar escapar este. Sin duda. – Python for Data Analysis de Wes McKinney. Lo que más me gustó de este libro es que no solo enseña Python desde una vertiente de datos. Sino que explica todo con ejemplos prácticos. Desde el minuto 0 obtiene datos de diferentes fuentes y las trata para demostrarte el potencial de estos lenguajes. Sinceramente, me lo volvería a leer. Ahora vamos con R: – Learning R: A Step-by-Step Function Guide to Data Analysis de Richard Cotton. Es un básico de R. Este libro de hecho esta enfocado a que aprendas a fondo R desde una parte más metodológica. Tanto que incluso explican condicionales, funciones y todo como si no tuvieras ni idea de programación. Para aquellos que quieran empezar, un libro recomendable. – R for Data Science de Hadley Wickham. Este libro está más enfocado a trato de datos, de importación de estos, de trabajar con cantidades grandes de información y de maneras más prácticas y sencillas de un uso masivo de estos datos. La ventaja de este libro es que para aquellos que se quieran ahorrar unos dinerillos, os dejo el link de la página web que ellos mismos han creado para plasmar todo el contenido del libro en versión web: http://r4ds.had.co.nz/. Y como os decía al principio, no quiero alargarme mucho en este podcast ya que de estos 5 libros, me gustaría derivar los interesantes para mi que los haré el viernes que viene. Allí si que hablaré exclusivamente de libros aplicados a finanzas y son los que realmente mucha gente espera como recomendación. En cualquier caso, si necesitáis algún libro más especifico con algún lenguaje de programación aplicada a inversiones especifico, hazedmelo saber a través del formulario de contacto: ferranp.com/contactar y os contesto lo antes posible para poder resolver vuestras dudas. ¡Y por hoy ya está! Tal y como llegó el episodio 1, estoy acabando el 50.

At the useR! 2014 conference, without a doubt one of the overriding themes was R’s history, legacy, and future as an interface into the “best of the best” algorithms which were available. Romain Francois’ package, Rcpp11, is at the forefront and was explicitly showcased as one of the ways in which R was staying true to it’s roots as an interface. An R programmer for over a decade, Romain started as an “R first” developer, only later moving to more traditional software engineering languages. In this interview, Romain and I discuss a wide range of topics, from R’s history as an interface for algorithms, through Romain’s experiences in HPC and his collaboration with Hadley Wickham on dplyr. Romain also shares a little bit about his other passion, stand-up comedy.

Hadley Wickham is famous. He’s not Kardashian famous, but walking around useR! and seeing the community’s reaction to him, there’s no question, he’s ‘R famous’. If you have the good fortune to see his talks, tutorials, or sessions in person, you owe it to yourself to do so. He projects depth and wisdom with a booming voice, which combines with a hard-won confidence brought about by years of honing his craft and developing his expertise. He takes as much time as is needed to answer questions, listens to every single bit of feedback and succeeds in making you feel that what you say indeed matters. Hadley Wickham has poise. It’s also quite obvious, if you watch him for long enough, that this fame suits him like an itchy sweater made by a loving grandparent. It brings warmth and it comes from a place of love, but it’s always a little uncomfortable regardless of how well it may fit. Hadley and I had a long ranging interview at useR 2014, shown above, discussing R’s strengths and revealing its weaknesses together. We reveal Hadley’s evil plans for world domination, as well as his not-so-evil plans to help users better manage their workflow. Enjoy!
