That was especially depressing because the long series of missed deadlines and public demo disasters in the movie (as well as the very buggy eventual release when I later bought the game) gave the impression that his programming skill left

Constraint Satisfaction Problems can be modeled as Hopfield-type neural networks, such as Boltzmann machines (RBMs of deep learning are a variant) which can be tuned using simulated annealing. There was plenty of research on this around 198

The math in The Elements of Statistical Learning is quite basic, if occasionally tedious. Any college junior in STEM should have taken enough calculus, linear algebra, and probability to work through it.

Fine, but you being vegetarian wasn't part of my objection. You're the one making assumptions. I don't eat tofu for ethical reasons, and I shouldn't have to justify them over your own to prevent you from violating my bod

You happen to be wrong, I am a counterexample (I don't eat soy, and yes, for moral reasons), but I won't explain, because I don't have to. And what I am saying is that I shouldn't have to. Sure, you can decide to believe

Hell, no. People may be eating what they choose to eat with just as much moral conviction as your vegetarianism. That is not for you to decide. You have no right to deceive others about what they are putting into their body, let alone in ho

The only time I write paper checks anymore is for larger charitable contributions, where I assume the organization would prefer the handling burden over processing fees.

Due to the anti-inflammatory effect of low temperature, cold showers soon after resistance exercise may be attenuating muscle hypertrophy response. Of course, as with most factors other than sleep and nutrition, the magnitude of that effect

That's the standard recommendation from sports nutrition texts, and I've certainly found it to be very true for myself. Over many cutting cycles as a strength athlete over the years, I always lost high ratios of muscle:fat during

The total size of the HFT pie is indeed minuscule, considering the amount of hype it gets. Past the high infrastructural barrier to entry, and assuming they can stay ahead of the competition, the consistency of returns does seem lucrative,

Yes, I'm well aware of R's many faults, I have my own long list of R caveats I hand to new hires, but not bothering to learn the damn language is no reason to complain about it. First, RTFM.

R's server sockets can't select(), so unless you've reimplemented that as well, don't count on handling concurrent requests with that web server.

That argument has been made countless times in history, with just as much conviction, but replacing human/animal with black/white, male/female, heterosexual/gay, Christian/other, etc.

It makes me sad to see this comment here. This is precisely how pseudoscience sells and proliferates: subjective attribution of all success to the hyped bunk. Quirk diets work because adherents accidentally get the calorie balance in the ri

Sounds cool, but falling asleep takes me 1-2 hours on a good day. If I had to go through that any more often than once a day, I might stab myself.

Like many modern languages, R supports multiple programming paradigms, including sequential, object-oriented, and functional, but it should take more than a couple of functional features to declare something a full-blown FPL. A duck-billed

by makeset 11y ago
Yeah, lots of squinting needed, or a terribly shallow understanding of FP to say that. Merely providing first-class functions and map/reduce idioms does not a functional language make. Python has those, so is it also FP really? R is as
