I'd suggest giving Random Forests a call-out instead of leaving them hidden under ensemble methods in the diagram. I realize this is a clarity / detail tradeoff.

The "text data" decision point seems arbitrary and in my opinion, not useful. I've analyzed text data with a Naive Bayes a classifier as well as SVM. I really like what the chart is trying to be, but I think it is editorializ

I don't see why the diagram has SVC and ensemble classifiers located in the "not working" path from KNeighbors Classifiers. It is reasonable to use an ensemble method independent of whether nearest neighbors works.

Just a note. scikit has logistic regression, but it isn't shown at the top level. It is contained within `LinearSVC` on the diagram: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.lin...

I am having a hard time understanding where you are getting such a negative vibe about software development, systems administration, and related fields. Are you being overly pessimistic? Yes, and that is an understatement. Give it a shot an

Maybe I just dislike change, but the new icons in the sidebar are wasted space in my opinion.

These are tough questions. I don't know that I have any great answers. Connect with savvy, non-violent organizers; find small ways to make a difference that have the potential to grow. Re: "So how can I as a Web developer contribu

I see a big theoretical and practical problem with Figure 2's projection of a 3D center of gravity to our planet's surface. For now, lets ignore all the other problems (e.g. does calculating a "center" really help answer

The very notion of a center of X makes a lot of sense when such a simplification is useful. For mass, the center of mass is a lossless (or nearly so) simplification. In physics, the movement of complex object can be understood with only its

It might be interesting to see a measure of spread visualized alongside the center of gravity (figure 2), perhaps using a translucent circle of varying radius.

It is worse that the articles says -- the data cleaning is often not tracked nor reproducible. First, think about how much data cleaning is not done by a script or versioned at all. So many people just overwrite the bad data in place. Secon

It is a starting point. Any one statistic is just a summary. (We all summarize, one way or another.)

It backwards to suggest that any one language is the last you'll have to learn. Learning new languages is part of staying relevant. Even English is subtly changing over time. (I don't mean to be a stickler just because I don'

Giving "reasons" why a language will be around a while is roughly somewhat comparable to giving "reasons" why a particular business or industry will last. These kinds of comparisons are a waste of mental energy. Things l

Stunningly cool; worth reading in full, including the sidebar discussion. It has math equations, code, sun coronas, clouds, and FPGA design schematics! May I suggest this soundtrack while reading: http://www.makingthenoise.com&#x

The cloud animation (linked from http://noisemachine.com/talk1/24b.html ), derived from the noise calculations, looks pretty good. I'll bet that it is computationally much less involved than, say a physics-based mo

I agree that this is a pretty good style guide, in the sense that it captures a large portion of what Clojure programmers consider to be good style. A few words about semicolons for comments. Lots of Clojure code uses ; and ;; and ;;; to in

Interesting. The Wikipedia article says: > Despite its desirable properties in typical contexts where similar algorithms are used, the Damm algorithm is largely unknown and scarcely used in practice. To what degree is this true?
