cantdutchthis··on Calmcode – Video tutorials for modern ideas and open source tools
I'm the creator of that website by the way. Happy to see it trending here.

I can tell you it isn't intentional and you comment reads fair to me. The main thing I want to prevent is that people are teaching using this material without linking back to the source. It's the whole "people claiming it as their own" that I'm keen to omit. I used a generator in this case because I'm not well versed with legalese. I'll gladly hear any advice on this.

actually, there is a trick that allows you to store the state of your visualisation as you are adding layers. you don't need to have all your data in just one dataframe.

thats not a facet grid though, in a facet grid you'll have split data across different cells. this is a cross plot across 4 columns. i did find this tho: http://stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/examples/facet...

fair enough. the reason why there were so many numbers was lazyness, i just copied the R output directly.

out of curiosity, how many lines of code do you need in matplotlib to generate http://koaning.io/theme/images/monopoly_plot3.png? in R, you'll only need one. also i have done this work in a python notebook, you can specify R cells to take pandas dataframes allowing you to still use ggplot2 for plotting. see old video of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW8Aei2wlsM

hi all, glad to hear you guys like it. im the guy that wrote that post, didnt imagine that it might be trending.

some of the comments here are indeed very valid. the fact that you can push all the houses to your deeds actually might make it more interesting to push for the the cheap investment places that otherwise don't give too much of a return.

my main goal was to figure out which house yields the best return on investment. which was a problem that had been bugging the back of my mind for a while.

ill add strategies that ive missed and give credit to it when i recheck the blog for spelling.
