Subject: [Chicago] Short-Term Contract for a Sys Admin w/ Django+MySQL
	Experience
Message-ID: <53E11234.9030907@forallsystems.com>

Hi ChiPy,

We are an ed-tech company looking for a sys admin who has time to take 
on a short-term contract in a few weeks.

We are a Chicago-based company working out of 1871 using Django deployed 
on various Rackspace Cloud instances.

What we need:

- Configure our application server stack: ubuntu / nginx / apache / modwsgi
- Configure and fine-tune our database server: mysql
- Help us create a plan to scale in the near future
- Whatever else that will inevitably come up

Extensive experience with django and mysql deployment is a must.

If you are interested, please email me at tkavukattu at forallsystems.com.

Thanks!

As someone who enjoys using both Python and R, I do not find these
types of articles very informative. His thesis is that Python is
replacing R as the programming language for data science. But what
evidence does this data scientist present to support this bold claim?
Any **data**? None that I could find (I also didn't find any
compelling data in the few links that I followed, but please inform me
if I missed something). The author supports his argument with his own
personal opinion, the personal opinion of others, well-known
differences between Python and R (e.g. Python is more general purpose;
R is more niche), and disparaging statements (e.g. R is not a
programming language, which obviously isn't true otherwise the entire
premise of the article makes no sense).

Python and R both have their strengths and weaknesses. Use whichever
one you find best suited for any given task.

Just checked link cuz I know a lot of R programmers who would really love to ignore what apparently is more op-ed than informative but alas...

404 Error
Merp. We couldn't find the page you were looking for.

But I also noticed an article on the waning of PHP, PHP has been waning for a long time according to just about everyone who doesn't program with it... but don't tell that to the WordPress people who power about 22% of the small business and personal websites out there...

To quote:

Oops sorry missed the line break...(blush response) do notice that he doesn't mention F# (Microsoft's R version) or S...most of the fin and quant programmers I know use the specific language to fit a purpose.  Python has become established in the trading and financial industries but R (or S the Matlab licensed version) is the lingua of choice when programming feed extractions in conjunction with algo based execution...remember C has been "dead" for a while, except for FPGA, CUDA and Laramie.

Getting data from academia would be interesting.

I recently came across a couple of posts that did a gender analysis of
authors and author order based on a sampling of papers in arXiv.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/in-science-it-matters-that-women-come-last/
http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/are-female-scientists-hiding/

Pretty interesting. I wouldn't have thought to run a statistical analysis
to guess gender based on first initials.

So, we could take a similar approach with choice of languages in arXiv
papers, maybe it would be easier to determine languages used in those
papers than in other populations. I helped code up a sample of articles
from Science after Science instituted a policy that authors had to share
code and data and that didn't work out as well as I expected. The authors
are not systematically including information about their toolchains, and
I'm not sure how well you could depend on citation graphs -- not everyone
cites languages and software used. In addition to that problem, you'll have
trouble finding an open access citation graph.

If you work at Mendeley you'll have access to a large corpus of papers
because their users will be uploading pdfs. Mendeley has an api but I doubt
it will give you access to this.

For finding other papers -- figshare is a trendy arXiv type of tool. PLOS
has been around since 2000.

Someone, do this. It would be fun to look at.

Yeah - several of the teams will be talking, though I'm not sure which
ones. Most of us have been using pandas, scikit, iPython notebook, &
statsmodels pretty heavily all Summer. (Some of us are actually no
longer using python but are still using iPython notebook as a wrapper,
which is itself kind of interesting.)

At SciPy they started calling ipython the http://jupyter.org/ project. So
many people use it to glue together all these languages that they wanted a
name that wasn't just about python.

Have you seen https://colaboratory.jupyter.org/welcome/ ?

I'm not much of an iPythonista. What do you type at the prompt if not
Python? And what's with that website? Is it just a placeholder?

You type one of the magic or cell magic commands and then type in the other
language.

Example for R.

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/Builtin%20Extensions/R%20Magics.ipynb

Example with javascript

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/Interactive%20Widgets/Custom%20Widgets.ipynb

I don't know what is up with the website. I expected to see more there.

All groups have more outlines found here: http://dssg.io/projects/

on Mexico: "Our goal is to identify those factors contributing to maternal
mortality and determine what can be done to reduce it. In contrast to
previous work, we will be analyzing trends at a more granular level. While
our initial work will focus on municipalities and localities, our hope is
to develop individual-level models of risk using all available data."

On the NLP topic, you might want to read more on last years work:
http://dssg.uchicago.edu/2013/07/31/the-match-game.html

30 minutes is my goal to switch completely from topics. There will be
breaks, Q&A, and some groups not ready to say much. We ran this same event
last year with great success. hope you can make it.

There are actually _two_ types of iPython:

* The ipython interpreter, which is basically a _much_ smarter version
of the standard python interpreter. I was a skeptic for a long time
but it's definitely worth a whirl.

* iPython notebook, which is the fancy-dancy website/magic cell combo.
It's very useful for building presentations out of your workflows,
though if you have to constantly rerun the cells to fix a bug in code
from an outside module it'll make your eyes bleed.

I available for making videos of all the talks.  Lets make this happen.

To keep things transparent I want a chipy contact to work with.  I don't
care if you are officially on the board or not.   You can be a sponsor
too.  But someone has to contact me.

Subject: [Chicago] PyCon 2015 Call for Proposals is open!
Message-ID: <mailman.31.1407985078.18126.chicago@python.org>

Hi ChiPy!

The PyCon organizers invite you to submit proposals for talks, tutorials, and posters to be presented at PyCon 2015 - https://us.pycon.org/2015/. The conference takes place April 8-16 in Montreal, Queubec, Canada and we'll be accepting talk and tutorial proposals through September 15, with posters accepted through November 1!

We want everyone to be a part of making PyCon what it is, which is why we invite everyone to submit proposals, and we invite everyone to be a part of the program committee. It's your PyCon, not mine. Whether you started with Python yesterday or you've been writing it since the 90s, everyone has different experiences, different knowledge, and a different story to tell. This is why we aim to strike a balance between beginner, intermediate, and advanced talks. We want the entire community to level up as a result of PyCon.

Over the years, we've put together proposal resources and advice to help answer some common topics surrounding our CFP (https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/proposal-resources/). We even put together a sample proposal and reviewed it for you at https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/proposal_advice/samples/SpacePug/. If you have any questions or tips that may help others, please email them to pycon-pc at python.org, or feel free to respond and I'll help you out.

The full details of our Call for Proposals are available at https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/cfp/. Keep an eye on that page as well as https://twitter.com/pycon and http://pycon.blogspot.com/ for details about ticket sales, financial aid, and more PyCon news!

Thanks for your time!

Brian Curtin, brian at python.org
Publicity Coordinator, PyCon 2015

 Toilet Roll, Scotch Tape, and iPod Touch
Message-ID: <CACvX9QDd=Ck7AZZpdQt-7ktQsizMj7Lx5p6GQ=33LmvY4-nRCA@mail.gmail.com>

Backend described in the article is in Python.

"When 17 year-old Cupertino High School student Tanay Tandon brought an
iPod touch with a ball lens taped to the device?s lens, a toilet roll and
medical slidesincluding one with his own blood on stage, he didn?t have a
presentation to project on the screen. In fact, he ended up demoing his
hack on the ground. His app Athelos, uses photos of blood to determine if
someone has Malaria."

Subject: [Chicago] OT: Mokena Maker Faire
Message-ID: <CAN6vQqu4ZbTMSfqD-1g-re2f_2BqkMsFNW6CHSLXim8i6KekZg@mail.gmail.com>

This is a little off topic, but something I thought you all would be
interested in hearing about.

I would like to invite everyone to the Mokena Maker Faire on Saturday,
September 13th.

If you've never been to a Maker Faire, it's like a little world's fair. A
family friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and
a celebration of the Maker movement.  It?s a place where people show what
they are making, and share what they are learning.

Basically a big nerd party. :)
