Much of what you say resonates with what I have seen from a different vantage point - old school software dev who has dabbled in data mining. Simple models often work and are preferable - easier to explain. More data and simple models gen

When I hear "Scientist" I tend to think "PhD level work." Graduate level work in math, Comp Sci and statistics is not something that can be readily compressed into a 9 month program without substantial prerequisites. Are today's "data scie

More eyes on HN = more chance for quick up-votes = greater likelihood of hitting front page. Part of the reason I set up http://hn4d.com was to get a sense of how much activity was going on at a given time. Can't say I have done any sort

Very cool - nice work. I like the idea of charts to see change over time(your charts are great - sparklines might be useful for seeing an individual post's status over time). Some ideas based on my similar project over at http://hn4d.com

Not sure about appeal process. You can watch changes on the main page at hn4d.com and just wait for the page to refresh (every few minutes). Save your refresh button too...

How about writing in the large - I am thinking big movements, like when writing on a marker board?

Another interesting application not mentioned yet is 3d scanning... and their site mentions 3d modeling work as the initial motivation for the product.

Can run the code straight from GitHub (if you dare) by creating the function described here: http://tonybreyal.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/source_https-sour... Then running the example is as simple as: source_github(' https://raw.github.com/

Wow. Jeff's article was not nearly as silly or inflammatory as some of these responses. Zed's rants can be great fun and quite theatrical, but Jeff was not trying to stifle anyone and prevent from learning to program. He was critiquing t

There is a lot to be said for avoiding the temptation to write "one more line of code." I used to work with a guy who would pride himself with reducing (whenever possible) the amount of code with every modification and fix he made. He rea

That is really a fascinating project. Never heard of Supercollider before. If a "blender-for-audio" does not already exist, it looks like the sort of language that could be used to build an implementation.

Yeah Audacity seems to follow the traditional reverb and digital effects route. You choose a few parameters (frequency modulation, amount / time of delay) and a generic "room" is available to pass a sound signal through. There may be a wa

This seems like the closest - from a UI perspective. The screen shot indicates the ability to design a room in 2D (rather than 3D). App appears to be windows only and closed source.

Had someone ask me this recently - and I talked around the actual question a bit. Sampling techniques for instance can provide similar results. Visual special effects are in constant demand (where physical scene creation can be expensive

The typical university tuition is over-priced. Once can get employable credentials or education with much less of an investment. That said, a comparison with the housing market does not provide a particularly clear parallel of the dynamic

Agreed. There are similarities between the higher ed and housing bubble: * Lots of quick money available * Government loans and programs, * Speculation about the relative return on investment that does not match the observed reality But a
