>Huh? Did you just claim that DJT "picked" HRC as his opponent somehow? And then further imply that it's somehow evidence of him playing 4-dimensional chess? Yep. He had another presidential bid in 2008. He knew he could

Yikes. >Trump is literally that big of an idiot. This line again. I'll believe it when I see it. So far I think he's played everything very well, and that started with his choice of opponent. >It's really something tr

So true. I want rust to take off, as even bounds checking at compile time would save me a lot of trouble. I don't know if I'll ever be able to deal with the community, though. On the other hand, I've never seen people get as

Surprised it wasn't UT Austin. You just can't make it through modern engineering if you can't use _matlab_, and it's easy if you've already finished C. Old YTMND jokes aside, I did it this way too, and didn't l

I'm learning Omp right now, and I'm excited about it, but my sarcasm filter is off today--are you serious about this? What about the inability to exit a parallel region--I was under the impression that once you start a parallel fo

>do crime This particular verb with the word crime--may I ask if you are an American? I've only ever heard people who are not from America say it this way. Americans always seem to say "commit" crime.

Nothing exciting to report. It was a resource-sizing problem and they didn't adequately separate prod and dev environments. Someone choked the dev and the prod went down with it.

This irreverent spirit is exactly why trump won. Compare his campaign messaging with some of the messaging out of the clinton machine and you will see how deep it goes. Consider Trump's 1) Make America Great Again (subtext: we've

Should also state that the relatively democratic, even anarchic nature of 4chan posting is the single best mirror of my own thought processes I've encountered in my time on the internet. (Maybe a little less porn gets posted in my bra

The best free tool here by far is the weaponized autism, as they call it. Hundreds or thousands of bored, reasonably intelligent people united toward a common cause. And they're the sort of people who wind up on /pol/, so ge

Anecdotal, but our SAS decision support environment went down Friday. I can report back after the post-mortem if you like.

Rstudio is an IDE. If you want a gui for R, check out Rattle. My shop is going the opposite direction, from R/excel to SAS+Cognos. I'm not happy about that decision, but the pay is good and the problems are still interesting.

We try to do this as much as possible where I work. It's... kinda working.

Definitely agreed. But the word analytics means too many different things to too many different people at this point. I'm in favor of more words to differentiate each part.

by R_haterade 10y ago
Also notable that so many new shops are foregoing it entirely. SAS, and its price tag, is a holdover from the days when 'analytics' was an afterthought for companies looking to maximize profit. Now that much less mature companies

Interestingly, a good pair of tinsnips is enough. It was a serious problem until Isaac Newton (of all people) came along. Apologies that I can't find a better source right now: http://www.lsned.com/newton-invented-ridg

This is such a wildly unpopular notion, and yet I've never heard a reasonably articulated counterargument. It's like people who understand supply and demand short-circuit when they think that the same laws don't apply to mone

I do want to express that I appreciate the effort you put into this post. Algorithms and data structures are my weakest point right now, and being able to read through your explanation is a helpful thing.

I will have to check this out as I'm in a lot of places where speed matters these days. Does he delve into the nuts and bolts of data structure for this, or does it stay more theoretical?

by R_haterade 10y ago
Agreed, but this was for a fast script that will probably run 100 times for analysis purposes--the code itself wasn't the end goal. I just needed something that could crunch my numbers in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours. :-)

Sometimes. Sometimes you just need to throw things in the oven until the first one browns up. I recently had a problem where I needed an adjacency matrix of shortest paths. It was a choice between dijkstra and floyd-warshall. My dijkstra
