I finished another course by HarvardX on EdX. The second course was about data visualization and has two parts. The first part is about general rules for data visualization (like avoid pie charts and use the same axes for data comparison etc.). The second part is about ggplot2 package in R. I should say it’s […]
I was a big fan of google for a long time. There was my first and currently is a primary mail address. I bought movies, music, and books in their Play store. But the way they are dealing with their services is horrible.
Last week I completed R basic course on EdX by Harvard University. It is not as challenging as John Hopnins’es course, but well-organized and with lots of examples. The only bad thing happened at the end of the course when they raised the certificate price from 49 to 149 dollars. At first, I was sure […]
The most important thing that happened in my life in the last couple of weeks was Danil’s birth. He is nice and with bulky cheeks, appeared with a weight of 3.15 kilo and a height of 51 centimeters. Before our first child, I thought that kids are just noisy and very energetic creatures and I […]
I was applying for mortgage loan and could share my experience with different banks. I applied to five banks: DOM.RF, Alfabank, Sberbank, VTB and Raiffaisen.
Another business trip for An-124-100 resource extension started on Oct 14. Like a previous one, this time we arrived to Ulyanovsk. I should admit, that it’s much better here now than in winter. Sun is shining bright, streets are covered with colorful leaves and cheerful children are running along the wide streets.
The entire month I’ve been reading about Sovkomflot IPO. It’s a Soviet-era company with a large number of cargo ships for transferring oil and liquid gas. This year is rather tough for the Russian government suffering from oil price plummeting and COVID pandemic. So, they decided to sell a part of the company.
After registration on Litres online library I was very happy, but very soon realized that most of the books in English there are adopted for a certain level. You can get the plot, but the pure enjoyment of the author’s language is missing. The second thing was about the format. Litres allows reading either online […]
The last time I visited the state medical facility about 5 years ago and still have bitter feelings about it. However we are regularly going with the son to the pediatrician office in a state medical center, and there is not perfect, but conditions are rather decent. So, I decided to visit my adult center […]
This week was the first time I took my kid to a kindergarten. Maybe it’s a good way to prepare children for school and introduce them to society. However, I think kids are not very happy there. Groups are too big and nannies could not provide much attention to everyone. Maybe in a group of […]
