The groundwork is done - taking a break before getting something released!

From this month I've decided to see if I can work on my personal projects full time... these include the books I've self-published through http://datacrayon.com/shop/, but now I wonder if it's worth while getting any of them into print...

We highlighted something similar in the multi-objective optimisation literature [1]. Unfortunately, it looks like comparing benchmark scores between papers can be unreliable.
- _Algorithm A_ implemented by _Researcher A_ performs different to _Algorithm A_ implemented by _Researcher B_.
- _Algorithm A_ outperforms _Algorithm B_ in _Researcher A's_ study.
- _Algorithm B_ outperforms _Algorithm A_ in _Researcher B's_ study.
That's a simple case... and it can come down to many different factors which are often omitted in the publication. It can drive PhD students mad as they try to reproduce results and understand why theirs don't match!

I enjoy literate programming so Evcxr has made learning Rust a familiar experience.
The data science ecosystem isn’t quite there yet, but you can still do some things easily if you want to.
If you’re interested, you may want to check out my book on the topic https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-...
