I was once quite suprised that R was missing any kind of RESTful service package for exposing R functions as a REST service. What I was looking for was basically some way to invoke a couple of R functions from the web application. In the en

I really like it! It seems lightweight, and editing is almost instant. What i'm not quite sure is what is the subset of available latex commands? Can you use only math formulas or there is also something else?

JSON over HTTP is not that bad concept. With the HTML5 server-sent events, this becomes a really cool stuff. And surprisingly it is working very well. For developers this is an order of magnitude easier and faster to develop rather than usi

Unfortunately so far the same is possible for gitlab too. Isn't it the general problem that each user is authenticated as the "git" user and the rest (all the git commands) is just "user.name" and "user.email&q

By looking at the list of winnings, It's quite funny how cheap you can get some people to retweet (and probably get some more audience) by offering such things as: -free infographic -some logo -lipstick from Avon -graphic -wall planner

Stock prices are more complex than that. In general they don't follow normal distribution. Then they have some sort of trend. Then they might be autocorrelated. Then sometimes they have some seasonality. Also different time series are

How big is your simulation test set? For small number of elements, that outstanding Rule 5 result could be just a coincidence... ;) (I'm taking some rigorous approach here. By intuition it seems to me that Rule 5 should generate more f

Once we did rafting and our monitor guy told us: when you fall into the water and find yourself under the boat, just don't panic. Don't try to move your head up but rather chose whatever direction and swim until you reach the eit

I admit that after finishing CS course at the university I had the same mindset regarding software engineering: understand the context, capture requirements (as much of them), and stick to it while developing subsequent parts of the system.

The Moto G smartphone is probably the best android you can get at the price they sell it. It is really sometimes better than other android phones that are priced double.

This always reminds me of the shortest path problem. For solving it with computers we need some special algorithms and data representations, while alternatively, we could create some sort of rope net, and just pull two interesting nodes to

With maven it's a bit like with sex: the first time is sometimes not that funny, and rather painful. And if you're boy you might have not delivered 100% what was expected.

I agree, but then again, the market accounts for all those "multi-dimensional factors". Maybe what should be added is that there are external and interal factors that decide of which language is better. External factors have been

You could also summarize this article in one sentence: the choice of programming language is driven by the market and not the opinion of a single person. That means that not always the best one wins, but the one which has most appealing pro

Yes, but then again, everything would be much harder if there wasn't a framework for that. (As if there wasn't a concept of "publisher" for J.K. Rowling's books. She would need to invent everything from the scratch.
