   I tut-tutted and pish-toshed for the first couple of slides but Incanter actually looks quite interesting. Is Clojure here to stay or a fad?

   I looked at the site, and I see some data but I didn't find what I would have hoped for. I couldn't find yield curves, and historical exchange rates <i> up to <i/> today (available on the ecb site in xml format). Certainly

   My immediate thought was 'why wouldn't I just use R?' R has the advantage that almost everything you need to do statistically already has at least one package built for it. The examples in the video section; a sticky sorter prototype? Wha

   I grew up in a socially-planned town. The problem is in the practicalities of the execution of a large project, by people who just consider it a day job, competing against the corrupting influence of local personal interest. The product o

   Your bank might not be. They are often just acting as a middle man and lending money to you that they borrowed from the bond market, taking the spread as their admin expenses.

   Wow - they get the minimalism thing, alright. domain-atrix is actually a pretty good result for domain - and I am not sure how they are doing that. It's interesting, though strangely the site is a bit half-baked. Why get so far and then p

   Hi from me too Rich, I notice going back through your post that you say it was a weekend project - we've been coding the algorithm for more than six months, and we have an office set up specially for it, and we are old, qualified, workaholi

    The coloured balls puts me off, but not as much as the 6 interviews.

    9,000 interviews, at €30.00 an hour, times two interviewers, is €270,000 x 2 = €540,000. If through recruitment agencies, assuming a 10%-of-first-year's-salary fee and average salary of €40,000, €40,000 x 10% x 1000 = €4,000,000 I hear tha

    Books of artistic or academic value never made much cash, to my knowledge. Detective books - well, they can have Dirk drink a bud light and talk it up for half a page for all I care (and many fictional detectives already do express brand p

    The thing about the internet is that it is so publically humiliating. Now I know that that is there and don't clock off the day job for another few hours. Thanks for the tip.

    Yes - we have seen it, and a few others. Try some queries in ours, and some queries in yours, and you will see that we use quite a different set of algorithms although there is some overlap. We all like some healthy competition, right? How

    A complementary approach is to find a really recent general one and skip to the end for the citations. Where possible, finding the original paper on a topic (e.g. gelman & gelman on mcmc) always makes me feel like a child with ten penc

    Hi, 1. Our translator is currently switched off. We might add a checkbox to update it. Renualdo? We switched it off because we used google translate, and then cleaned the output (i.e., kill aux, des, della, etc). We are in the process o

    Update: Found another anomaly. Whois needs to be offline for performance reasons. We will refine it - but it should be 99.9% correct now. It is 6 stages to grep, sed, diff, sort, uniq, and import the files into our whois db so it will be

    Voila. Yeah - our grammar db had a really limited list of plurals. Now I just find everything word where a variant exists ending in 's' or 'es' from our everywordevereverever table (not called that). tl;dr; tool gives tools.

    We can add a sort by domain length - you will get a completely different sequence of results. At the moment it is sorted by top n results from each algorithm (eight algos so far). Hyphens - there is only ever one result. Separating the una

    We are pluralising nouns only - but the selection of nouns is limited by our grammar db. It should have been around 4th/5th result, depending on the number of search words. Have you got the example and we can look into it?

    Not quite in order... 1. Splits & domain hacks. My partner in crime will be happy you said that - we will add. Prob at least a week though. 2. Orange - yes - means that they are unavailable. We can add a comment to make that more clea
