Thanks, I didn't know that. Though presumably a 2013 fellow hasn't yet had that opportunity, given the 2014 window is still open.

Advice is fine and it's interesting to hear about one person's success, but you're overstating your opinions. Things like "I cannot over emphasize the importance of this question", if written by someone reviewing ap

Great story, thanks for this; it's a refreshing change from bitcoin and VC chatter.

The statement itself isn't true from the outset, consider NPOs, OSS, Wikimedia projects... It's just a meaningless cliché.

This confuses measuring continuous variables with discrete indexing. I'm certainly not arguing that zero isn't a well-understood concept.

I get it, believe me I do, but pedantry aside, we know how any non-computer scientist or programmer would address the initial item of any sequence (indeed the same way a mathematician would).

"Some people" is understated; if you're holding one orange and I ask for your first orange then you give me that one, in your first hand. I'm over-emphasising but the point is that no zeroes are involved. It's a tra

We know this isn't designed to convey work experience, skillset in an efficient and clear way, it's just attention-grabbing hit bait so he can make some claim of "going viral" on his real CV.

Is it though? I mean, it just hangs over the arm of the sofa and I plug it in when needed. Plus HDMI is one of the few ports on my MBP I don't need an adapter for. I get that cable free would be awesome but as I understand it we need s

The wireless receiver is powered by USB though right?

Firstly the public use cases are cool and could be really useful; my criticisms are with home use. My TV doesn't have USB ports for a start and the current setup I have is a 10m HDMI cable that is long enough to connect to my laptop on

Ha yeah welcome to the field, linear regression is now machine learning. Formerly known as pattern recognition > artificial intelligence > statistics.

Does anyone think this is over-engineered? I can imagine looking back at this in ten years as we do with blinking marquees. I agree the artwork is really impressive but for a console review it should be content over presentation, right? It

Even assuming 5* == working, 1* != working, there's ~1k to .5k respectively as I write this, so a third would be broken and 666k still functional.

How is rm different from what you'd expect? R also has head, tail, grep, ls... all likewise. And why would you need to google the function c? I don't think there's ever been anything more I've wanted to know about it tha

That still happens, anecdotally a recent blog poll found Perl still being voted the third ""best"" language for a bioinformatician, after R and Python. [1] http://computationalproteomic.blogspot.co.uk/201

S was developed by statisticians, for statistics — so it's really no surprise that web programmers come along and say "ew that's weird, why does it do that!".

You're arguing a point unrelated to the post. The author is saying that as a highly competent SE, paired programming would be a detriment to him due to his personality etc.

Maybe others are able to give a more objective analysis, assuming your claims are true you enter the debate with significant bias.

Yeah in general the warping and disconnect from our normal perceptions; I'd rather just see a wide-shot landscape than something distorted and alien. But I take your point, I have seen some that have been well-corrected and look pretty

Why would banks go away? In the UK Barclays ran a load of ads a year or two back about "PingIt", their app for sending money to phone numbers or paying for things with QR codes. I mention this because you propose banks as active r
