Rackspace's offerings start at $400 a month. And they have no prices on their site, so you have to talk to a 'sales associate'... God I hate it when you can't get a price off a website. Can't believe I wasted two minutes on that. Learn f

He's right to want this; it's great in DrScheme. I can't stand typing out l-a-m-b-d-a anymore. Just cntrl-\ and you've got it. "Lambda expressions are rarely useful in Python." Sad but probably true. In my limited experience with Python

Very simple, but there are some good examples here about how you might do this to quantify similarity in users based on their expressed preferences. Simple techniques are often best.

We're using Scheme in our startup and I recommend it. Our web app is built in Kawa and runs on the Tomcat server. We had been using the PLT web server but left over some concerns with the way it was using memory. They've fixed that and no

I think language has a lot to do with it. To do the same thing in Python, Ruby, Scheme or whatever there is just less to think about. This frees up your brain to think about algorithims and little else. C++ is jammed with distractions. I

That was awesome! Seriously, it was absolutely the coolest thing. Not really as intense as I would have expected a 5.6 quake to be, though. Still, my business partner and I were impressed and excited. Sorry for the breathless report, f

Interesting topic, interesting researcher, lots of new information, but there's a lot of bogus here too.

I use DrScheme every day. It's pretty good and getting better - they just added autocompletion (only for the standard library, not for your own bound variables) for example.

I didn't know the Daily Mail was that bad.
