Do you know if this can be configured to work with Sage? If so, could you link to an example or instructions?

I agree entirely with your sentiment. Still, I'm not sure corporate personhood means we should judge corporate action as we would human action. It's still not possible to expect corporations to never mistakes, but I wouldn't

On the bright side, this set you up perfectly for Emerson's 'Self-Reliance'.

All I have to say is that I misread this headline and experienced both disappointment and relief when I clicked through and read about a 'buttonhole' camera.

Yesterday evening, my daughter noticed an iPad had been removed from its case and held up the empty one asking what gives? My immediate response, "What you're looking at is the THINNEST, LIGHTEST, iPad we've ever produced. It

I have a very relevant anecdote: My grandfather was an open-heart surgeon. In the days following surgery, he would always insist that his patients get up and take a short walk. They would not want to, but he insisted that this was an import

As I recall, the most interesting feature of these networks is that they do better when learning geometric features in the presence of noise. Without the added geometric structure baked into the network, the real neural nets overfit and &#x

Here's the thing: the way HRV is measured reliably when used as a metric is with 'paced breathing'. You synchronize your inhalations and exhalations to a displayed pace (in for X seconds, out for X seconds, or whatever). The

As far as I know, the best apps for HRV are Marco Altini's: http://www.marcoaltini.com/apps.html

That was useful. If and when I need pure C++, or want a fast path to 'additional things', it sounds like versor is the way to go. There is a lot to sort through in coming up to speed with this paradigm, and each new source helps b

I'm very interested in Colapinto's work. His dissertation, Articulating Space, has a lot of neat ideas and applications in it ( http://versor.mat.ucsb.edu/ArticulatingSpace.pdf ). I especially appreciate his explici

Dang, that was a good comment. Thanks.

Why not? It's like saying, "People on merry-go-rounds have a hard time balancing."

Good job cutting right to the heart of the language. As written, it sounds like the answer would be 'it depends…'. I'm curious whether I'm reading that accurately, though.

That was interesting. It was also bizarrely coincidental. My son is also in third grade, and I also explained binary to him today. During the conversation, which arose adventitiously, I found myself contemplating the socratic approach -- so

For a visceral and entertaining exploration of what a literal fourth spatial dimension might be like from our perspective, try Rudy Rucker's hilarious 'Spaceland'. 'In a tribute to Edwin Abbott's Flatland, a classic

So you suspect favoritism?

I thought so too, so I looked at the source. It's communicating with a MongoDB persistor over the event bus rather than querying the database directly. So the poor performance is because there's an extra layer of communication hap

Out of curiosity, have you ever bought a car, and did you actually read the whole manual before driving it? It's a nice hypothetical, and that might be your style. Most real-world car purchase scenarios I'm familiar with would

That was a great moment -- worth the price of admission, as it were. Don't skimp on the robots, though, seriously. Robots are good.
