Most exciting data science book I have read in some time: "Modern Business Analytics" by @MattTaddy : current, modern, accessible, rigorous, awesome.
Near-final draft out later this year; my commits may have fixed some typos. Content below as teaser---but you've got to read it.

I am now a free agent on 'garden leave', open for "interesting" work in the quant / data science / ml space.
Chicago, or possibly remote. Strong preference for compatibility with my adjunct position at U of Illinois.
Any pointers? Please email edd@debian.org. Thanks!

From a very recent @lifehacker post. But you have to take my word that there was no pot involved in either preparation or consumption.
Came out well though. We may do this again.

A good day: One thank-you email for my Open Source work from a "Lt-Col" of the Ecole Militaire of the country where I went to grad school, plus one from an ecology post-doc in the province I once called home.

Ever need to read or write R Data files from C / C++ ?
Ie access / create RData or rds but without R itself ?
librdata by @EvMill has you covered, and he and I just cleaned up some build and usage issues. Take it for a spin.

Yes it was but you *really* want the second segment with Kate McKinnon *killing it* as Robert Mueller. 4:55 into this clip:
