firefox's javascript performance however makes me :( |

sivoais: we had our first data science meeting today ( http://www.iq.harvard.edu/people/filter_by/staff/data-science ) and there was a brief talk about d3.js at the end |

I'm curious where topic modelling fit into it. Automatic categorisation of documents? |
| 00:53 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: he may not have published that data yet. it was running on port 8888 on his laptop :) |

it's fun to hang out with folks who say "LDA topic model" and suppose everyone knows what that means :) |

interesting reacation to the wealth and health graph: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/linuxvillage/2013-06-26#i_7254976 |

I need to learn more about statistical visualisation. Visuals try to manage complexity, but we can't lose sight that they need to more than a pretty picture. |
| 01:54 |
|
pdurbin |
I think that wealth and health visualization is pretty effective. I just showed it to my wife and her reaction was "that's a lot of data" |
| 01:56 |
|
pdurbin |
come to think of it... my brother asked me for some help visualizing some recently released government data. he wanted a map component so I pointed him at this: Create beautiful dynamic data driven maps | CartoDB - http://cartodb.com |
| 01:57 |
|
pdurbin |
specfically http://zerosixzero.cartodb.com/tables/unols_cruises/embed_map?title=true&description=false&search=false&shareable=false&cartodb_logo=true&scrollwheel=true&sql=&zoom=3¢er_lat=50.81873078031015¢er_lon=-55.54687499999999 by agoddard via http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-05-05#i_7021356 |
| 01:57 |
|
pdurbin |
but now that I realize how good http://d3js.org is with maps I'll have to make sure he's aware of that option too |
| 01:58 |
|
* pdurbin |
sends him an email |

I didn't know d3.js did maps. I've been playing with Leaflet for those. |
| 01:59 |
|
sivoais |
<http://leafletjs.com/> |
| 01:59 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: yes! leaflet is what was shown today in combination with d3 |
| 02:00 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: have you made any of your experiments public? :) |
| 02:02 |
|
sivoais |
They both have beautifully simple interfaces. No, I haven't, I've been working on other things lately. I did a very minimal analysis of Houston's Metro transit system for a hackathon, but I need to polish it some more <https://github.com/zmughal/houstonhackathon-metro-analysis> then host it. |
| 02:03 |
|
sivoais |
Ah, yes, that was at the hackathon I blogged about <http://blogs.perl.org/users/zaki/2013/05/local-hackathons-and-how-perl-can-help.html>. :-P |
| 02:06 |
|
sivoais |
As part of the web REPL I was working on, I'm trying to bring a tighter integration between Perl and D3.js, but I'm still thinking about how to model it cleanly. |
| 02:10 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: cool. please keep us posted |

I'm writing instructions to set up a psychology experiment on an Amazon EC2 instance (code is here, but incomplete: https://github.com/alexstorer/psiTurk) and it occurs to me that instead of putting a list of 14 things to apt-get install, and 11 things to pip install, maybe there's a better way, like puppet or something. |
| 15:55 |
|
astorer |
This page (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/puppet.html) suggests that I need a puppet server and a puppet client, which I think is not what I want. |
| 15:55 |
|
astorer |
I'd really like to be able to have the instructions be three lines: |
| 15:56 |
|
|
westmaas joined #sourcefu |
| 15:56 |
|
astorer |
apt-get install git, git pull [repo], [one line of puppet to install the list of things in the git repo] |
| 15:57 |
|
astorer |
Is this the "right" thing to do? |

pdurbin: re: your query about GraphML <http://irclog.perlgeek.de/pdl/2013-06-27#i_7257603>, I'm unsure. I usually think of something being Linked Data if the entites can be related to something in <http://lod-cloud.net/>. I haven't seen anything about GraphML that does that. |
| 16:11 |
|
|

sivoais |
but if say the GraphML did have the entities labelled with something standard like <http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/>, that in itself would be good. That way the meaning of the data is fixed and well-defined. |

pdurbin: a new version of the Linked Data Glossary was published today and gives a more complete definition <http://www.w3.org/TR/ld-glossary/#x5-star-linked-open-data> |

Apparently, whorka says that I can upload a script using the amazon GUI that runs when the instance is spun up - crazy! |

lots of discussion also happens on W3C mailing lists as well as #swig on freenode. |

which reminds me that I need to configure my mail reader (mutt) a bit better to handle all that traffic :-P |

I'm kind of done with mailing lists. I get enough email :) |

oh, so we had a tech talk about Scala today. pretty interesting. I'll link to the slides if they're public |
