I'm curious to see what options he chose for the interior such as the stitching and leather.

Obviously it's anecdotal, but I've also had a few bad Alitalia experiences and plan not to ever fly with them again.

Not sure if I would really use it aside from a novelty, but I may need to buy this simply to support such a great/fun idea.

Do you have any audio examples? The only examples I could see were actual code. (I'm on my phone so I'll double-check later in case I missed an obvious link on the ChucK site).

Also, about 5min in is a great example of how to correctly "break the rules".

Not a tutorial, but I found the R Graph gallery helpful. When I first got started I typically just poked around for something interesting, downloaded the source and started tweaking parameters and/or loading in new data sets. It can be daun

Have some similar memories myself. Definitely learned a lot from being a little too enthusiastic about modifying files/settings on the family computer. What stands out for me is the period when I was still just a kid, albeit the "neighborho

Don't really see the big deal. Also wouldn't be surprised if as the release of the Fire approaches they released a slightly more nuanced version of that page. Something along the lines of, "Which Kindle is for you?". While there is obviousl

I can't speak authoritatively since I've never made Haggis, but I was under the impression it's illegal to import Haggis (or specifically, the sheep-part constituents). I thought domestic production and sale are OK. [edit: Also wanted to

Waiting until iOS 5 (including the cloud features announced earlier this year) is ready?

Agreed. Took the words off my keyboard. Barring a shareware style demo, I rarely make a leap of faith into a new software product. However, stellar reviews and/or at least a video example can make up for that. Maybe one exception would be u

I have a Kindle 3. It's fantastic for fiction/nonfiction/Instapaper. Technical papers are my one major gripe. It's essentially hit or miss, but mostly miss. I've found that most technical PDF papers are non-trivial to convert to Kindle. It

I've never really had any issues with stress, so I can't speak to that. However, somewhat related, I found daily exercise (more intense on some days, but at least something every day) did a lot to improve my sleep. In turn that made me much

Well, it sounds like it starts sometime in 2013, not necessarily Jan 01. Also, it sounds from the article like Dreamworks will be slowly rolling out past titles, so it could be even longer.

I doubt that either touch or a kinect-style will become primary interfaces. However, I think as the tech develops further and the price drops it will become ubiquitous as a feature.

I'm intrigued by this, but seriously, how does one manage that much hair?

Completely agree. I was in a very similar to the woman in the article. I started at a Boston Medical/Life-science research LLC as a statistical programmer. The intention was to bring me on as the head of stats/quant work since they had been

Well, as the the article mentions, most of the "Gen X as slackers" phenomena occurred a good 15-20 years ago. FTA >"They long ago shed that image, Hewlett says"

>particularly when the actual numbers are unimportant. That's more or less my philosophy on pie charts. I find them helpful to use at the outset of a presentation to help provide some context for what's to follow (for example, the relat

When I follow this link from the US I see: €2,136.05 – €2,216.00 (roughly $3000). Based on the other posts, maybe you misread € for $?

Decent points, but it's from 2009. Also, using 3D pie charts in an article about proper design... maybe not the most effective technique.

My flight travel has lessened considerably over the past 2-3 years, but until then I'd witnessed that to be standard practice.

Well, most libertarian government structures call for precisely that. A police to enforce the law, a court system to provide fair rule and a small military intended for defense. [edit: Should add that although there are certainly disputes

Thanks, I enjoyed that. I suppose the one issue with the dialogue is that as the mugger increases the payoff, it would only make sense to decrease the likelihood that he delivers on the promise. Put differently, the expected value would be

What you describe is typically how I use R. It certainly has it limits performance wise, but it is hard to beat as a "stat toolbox". Even in cases where it wasn't up to performance needs, I've found it useful for investigating which methods

Since they also make the data available as a public snapshot on AWS it would seem more practical to just look at the data that way instead of downloading.

He didn't explain how and to what extent, but in the second video he does say that they managed to "solve" that problem.
