   So since some of the Greek fighters - meaning those who allied with the British against the Nazis, had communist ideals you assume that all they wanted was a violent take over and establishing communism. And based on that assumption you jus

   While I do not know the specifications of your Elasticsearch cluster, I am really surprised by your experience. We (at skroutz.gr) use a moderately small cluster (four nodes) and easily process > 4 million rows a day and view them on Kib

   Regarding the Go vs. D argument and Google beeing behind Go, Facebook seems to be using D http://www.drdobbs.com/mobile/facebook-adopts-d-language/240...

    Since the authors claim that it is "Built on top of scalable frameworks such as Hadoop and Cascading" I guess that it is aiming to be production-ready while scikit is mostly for prototyping.

    Although I do agree that today's events show that Stallman is right to be that much worried, I have to point out that his argument against face recognition is a weak one. Computer vision is superior to human in many aspects, and this

    Thank you for that link, I wasn't aware of that. Even though the reasoning behind their model is mostly logistics it is good to know that every person on Watsi will get his/her treatment regardless of when/if it gets funded. I believe that

    Maybe this comment is off-topic here but I can't help but feel that Watsi is in a way making all these individuals "compete" in terms of who is more likable, or whose situation is the worst, in order for them to get the help they need. Mayb

    Just when I decided I'm only going to be using LTS releases in the future. If they actually go through with this I hope there will be a general update option like choosing between "conservative" and "cutting-edge" updates.

    This is great. As a new Django developer one of my most frequent Google queries is "best practices about x in django". I am thrilled to finally have so much of that stuff in one place.

    I get it now, thanks. It's very interesting, maybe I will give Python for ML a chance!

    You got me a bit confused here. If I understand correctly what you 're saying, you 're still using Python for prototyping the core algorithms and C++ in actual production systems. I'm not saying Python is not good for production systems in

    So is there anyone using Python for machine learning in production systems (i.e. not just for prototyping). I would love to do it but seems Java/Mahout is a safer choice, performance-wise. I wonder whether Blaze is a step towards that direc

    Well I guess that makes sense, seeing that version 2 hasn't been updated since 2009. Too bad though, it is really well-written.

    Any idea why The Django Book ( http://www.djangobook.com/ ) is not on the list? It seems to be the go-to Django beginner's book for many people.

    I don't necessarily disagree with you. However, I find that most contemporary real-world ML applications (from face recognition to collaborative filtering to computer vision) do use algorithms that "learn from data", using some kind of lear

    Although certainly a related field (to the point that the UCL ML MSc offers an Evolutionary Computation course), genetic algorithms are not ML per se.
