data-science
http://tech.ml.dataset compared to R data.table. All stuff works (with some additional helpers). See it here: https://github.com/genmeblog/techtest/blob/master/src/techtest/core.clj
anyone here got a recommendation for a good linux (ubuntu) friendly workstation? I think I'm going to be at home for a while and it is roughly upgrade time for me.
I was thinking desktop. I've been pretty happy with Dell laptops but was wondering if I could get more quack for my quid with a desktop
@otfrom take a look at the Thinkpad P series desktops, the P330 and P330 Tiny can be configured as performant as you want (can afford). I was very tempted to get the P330 Tiny, its amazing what you can fit in there, but would cost a little more than the P330 standard size desktop https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/workstations/#viewprodfragment
Thx
Would be even nicer if the actual R code was given. I know - easy for me to say 🙂
Why do you need R code when you have clojisr 🙂
It would give a 'better' comparison for those who use R
no problem then, I will add it soon.
done! 🙂
take a look at http://system76.com ?
Is there identical performance?
No. Reading table from net Clojure is 4x slower. Filtering 10+ times slower.
Chris is investigating this now.
data.table is mighty fast, so approx performance would be incredible
my understanding is that a lot of work went into making fread so good
Also it is C based. Anyway my experience with tech.ml.database is good. flights has 250k rows.
Desktop or laptop? I've had a pretty good time with my Lenovo Carbon X1. The Dell XPS series look pretty tempting too though, and some of them you can actually get to ship with Ubuntu (or at least used to be able to).
For laptops, none of the system76 seemed to strike the right balance to me for power + portability. I have one of their desktops though, from years ago now, and it served me pretty well.
I am loving my 2nd Gen Lenovo extreme workstation, it has been well worth the investment. It feels like I can run all ther repl's in the world. https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/X1-Extreme-Gen-2/p/22TP2TXX1E2
