Not really. You can use widgets and redraw when the user changes something, but this gets clumsy quickly. Bokeh allows for interactive visualization though. Vispy[1] does to, by using webgl (but this require a running ipython kernel - so th

I ran into the same issue. After a restore from my time machine backup, I discovered that some files where missing (with no apparent pattern). Fortunately, I had a non time machine backup, but pheew that was a close one...

It should be doable to build an Android app that turns data on every X minutes. Does such a thing already exist ? Does it really help with battery ?

I know of 4 projects for deep learning based on Theano. Keras, Blocks and Lasagne all seem to share the same goal of being more libraries than framework. You can use only one part (e.g. a Layer implementation, training algo) without having

I am not sure which payment model I prefer, but I don't buy the technical reason against the OP's proposed solution. I imagine Spotify already maintains a list of songs played by each user (to build their recommendation engine). Y

I am working on an application that does something similar. The idea is to create a 3D avatar using 3 pictures (front, side, back) of a person. Like bodylabs, I also have a statistical model of a person (although not yet as detailed as thei

In my experience, you'll have some parts of your code in which you have to do a for loop or something else that cannot be (cleanly) expressed using numpy and that's where performance starts to suffer. The current solution is to us

Regarding the first argument (apps with multiple panels), the author should try Linux. Gimp (and others) works fine on Linux with sloppy focus. The global menu bar is indeed a problem, but it can be alleviated by adding a small delay before

Germany has things like the Max Planck Society[1] (with 32 Nobel Prized), but it's not directly affiliated with a University, so it doesn't count in the rankings. It seems to me those rankings favor very large institution; are the

It seems that House of Cards is not available in Switzerland and France (at least French part) because a French TV channel got the rights. Pretty sad. Source : http://www.letemps.ch/Page/Uuid/7d197506-3ef1-11e4-a18

In addition to trhway's answer, I'd say we use a lot of assumptions about the world : houses usually have flat, orthogonal walls, streets are flat, etc.. Of course, we can have the computer learn those assumption, but it's mo

Mayavi is based on VTK, which is a C++ toolkit for data visualization. It's both an advantage and a drawback, depending on your needs. The good thing is that VTK is solid and if you're familiar with the concepts, it can be powerfu

As far as I know, stereo vision has some problems with uniform surfaces (snow-covered road). Since any two points on a uniform surface will have similar descriptors, it's pretty hard to match them. There are some solutions to this prob

A lot of early days Java apps built with Swing were slow and ugly. I think that's where a lot of the "java is slow" stories come from. Of course, Jetbrains' products are a proof that you can use Java to build modern apps

This is an interesting idea. The Swiss national television made a somewhat related app for the FIFA World Cup 2014 : You could thumb up or down your time during a game and see how other people reacted in realtime. And you get a nice graph a

The problem raised in the paper is that most of the time, you can safely assume that if you have a new data point that is very close to a bunch of correctly-classified data points and far away from points of different classes, the new data
