Usually, blogging is a rush. There are a lot of posts I have to finish, and if I do not post frequently, I have the feeling that - somehow - I do not belong to the blogosphere any more. There is so much to be done, so many posts to finalize, so many draft that I started, or material used to generate only on graph in some slides (that might deserve a long and detailed post). If instead of looking forward, I take a short beak, and look backward, and I am always surprised to see what I have done. I am always puzzled when googling something that I would like to know more about, one of my own posts appears, or reappears.Usually, in those somewhere else, I mention posts and articles here and there, outside my own blog. For the 100th post, I mentioned 100 blogs and websites worth following. For this 200th post, I will mention 200 posts worth reading, on my own blog !... and yes, it will be a mix of posts in English, and in French.On data science and computational stuff (as well as R tricks)Names in the U.S., from James Smith to Jose Rodriguez,Bar des Sciences: Débat sur le Big DataSorting rows and colums in a matrix (with some music, and some magic)De la difficulté de faire parler les chiffres...Playing with robotsOscar awards: good actor versus good actressBorder bias and weighted kernelsSimple and heuristic optimizationQui se ressemble se suit (sur Twitter au moins)Personal Analytics with RSS FeedsFrench dataset: population and GPS coordinatesWhy pictures are so important when modeling data?Natura non facit saltusLes doctorants, le sexe et le directeur de thèseC'est pas ma faute: c'est l'autre là, devant !Rationality, and MS Excel (and other calculators)Extracting datasets from excel files in a zipped folderExcel (and French people) are such a pain in the...Shapefiles from Isodensity CurvesRemoving Uncited References in a Tex File (with R)How to import some parts of a large databaseQuel trajet minimal pour récupérer le maximum de bonbons à l'Halloween ?
