RStudio is by far my favorite IDE. I would write much more Python if there was something as good for it. Anticipating more Python support, which I believe is part of the plan

I also don't think Musk should be lumped in with those other luminaries, but Musk isn't the one doing that categorization, so nothing against him. It's just people and their penchant for hero worship

they don't have the authority to do that... yes, people should inform themselves before talking. Jail time and other penalties will depend on the Justice Department

what? you sure you thought this through? So instead of having one kitchen producing pizzas all day long, you cut off half (or worse) of that productive time for traveling around? All this complexity just to save on the cost of having some l

No, it's not disingenuous at all. It is not a cop-out to say that people who believe in conspiracy theories, people who don't understand facts, people who are highly opinionated about things they don't understand, etc. are no

Being able to distinguish fact from fiction is not a skill that is near universal, and it should be. Seems like a straw man to attack "thought policing" and "indoctrination." We're talking about critical thinking an

you're implying that your revised analogy is better? If I order a sandwich I don't expect or want any tongs. To get them is suspicious.

What kind of math is that? In your contrived example it should be 1 - .99^70. It's hard not to question your background in probability when you're involving 1.01 and 2..

Even then, he did twist 'absorbing states' into the basically unused "absorbent barrier." It's good you brought up Markov chains; I can't believe they haven't been mentioned in the article or the comments

this sounds like you're projecting something, honestly. I'd stray on the side of being wary of China, not dismissing them as "insecure" and "fragile." Just a dangerous mindset imo.

It's funny - the author isn't just some guy, it's George Dantzig. Relevant because he is one of the fathers of linear programming. He and his simplex algo are actually referred to in the wiki page

Unfortunately for Blue Apron that's not going to make them money. Once you learn the basic skills you won't need them anymore. They'll have a hard time growing if this is their model. gambiting's reply illustrates this p

This is just absurdly overdramatic and frankly, insufferable. Why do you expect the general public and media reporters to know offhand about polymer chemistry? Why does their lack of this knowledge doom the environment? You had a chance to

IMO teaching people ML is good in general for Google. 1. it spreads the use of tensorflow, 2. it increases not only tensorflow, but also Google's mindshare, 3. it trains people that may become future Google employees, and/or serve

They're going to need to pull off some kind of revolutionary advance in touch keyboards to sell this I actually appreciate the thought though. It's innovation. Sometimes your keyboard isn't in use; sometimes you only need a s

what an odd hangup. how does this have anything to do with numpy specifically? the suggestion that jumps out is to just learn about algorithms.

You don't even need to be over the limit to be annoyed. Recently some of my free space expired and I came close to my storage cap (but not going over). Every day I get a notification on both of my computers that I'm close to excee

that's a nice link but the excerpt you quote is kind of misleading; the word vectors in this case are not one-hot encodings. They are learned, continuous representations. But one-hot representations are also a kind of word vector. word

I live in a city as well. I thought we were comparing cities to rural areas, not suburbs? My belief would be that suburbs are not good for society - they're land inefficient and get more resources than they should because more affluent

Well I didn't downvote you if that's the implication :) Sure, I suppose it is.. do you mean to suggest that the assumption is false?

Thanks for the perspective. And because of things like this, rural folk don't want "our" help. They fall further behind, become more insular and hateful. Self-reinforcing cycle. Solving these problems is extremely important a

because it's more efficient? The services will help more people because of population density. I mean, the math is obvious. I'm not sure what the argument is. Nobody is saying city folk are more important. There are simply more of

I'm not interested in arguing about OP's explicit wording, but the implication is that people are too complacent about "our" lead. It can only hurt you to underestimate your opponent

There was no compatibility when I switched, and I waited for some time (I use Nightly). Maybe "recent" is misleading.
