Go for first to market + dedicate team time to go back and fix problems. What you want to avoid is getting excited post-launch and building new features before having fixed the big problems. It would be good if you have system tests (a.k.a

Yes, I was imagining a "traffic demultiplexer" of some sort that could feed the old and new backend in parallel and observe they have the same behaviour. I think something like that would be useful for a lot of people in industry

I recommend you go for data science rather than finance. For one you'll have less to learn to catch up (ML = prob theory + modelling skills). Also "data science" is a much broader skill that is in demand in many industries, w

Nothing wrong, quite the opposite scikit-learn is awesome. I think the comment was a word play on "script kiddie" (ppl w/o real "security chops" but who know enough to run an exploit "script" of some sort)

Good question. My guess is it will be OK for the text, but links will be out of whack so bots won't really "crawl" the site. Then again, maybe advanced bots will run the js? also, I know words in h-tags are usually "coun

Have you tried the TTS in Mac OS X? You can run it on the command line using: say 'this is a test' I for one think it's very good quality (at least for the Alex voice)

very cool; simple enough that anyone can use. I'd bind js key codes 8 (backspace) and 46 (delete) to the `delete Element` action though.

Is there any reason you wouldn't run normal "non-dumb" init for this using CMD ["/sbin/init", "2"] and start your app using init.d scripts or supervidord as usual? I feel like logrotate,

This looks very interesting. My friend has been telling me how C++ had improved recently in terms of "pleasantness" to write, and now calling it from Python makes it all the better: https://github.com/wjakob/

That's what I was about to write, but I'm a +1 you instead. Inherently, one can understand addition as adding of lengths (think stick + another stick = stick of combined length). Multiplication is about computing areas where base-
