I've been to their Spear street location in San Francisco. It's excellent for a quick and healthy (yet hearty) breakfast. It's novel to go inside and not see people cooking the food you're enjoying.

I posted mine because this didn't work (the first link directed back to WSJ). Also, your suggestion is missing the boom. That's no fun.

My machines are currently 16GB each (I have two MBPs). I imagine increasing the amount of RAM I use in my next machine upgrade. Anyone working on large scale data problems or doing advanced analytics (Spark, R, Python, etc.) would appreciat

This is kinda awesome. This repo has been public for less than 24 hours and Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) already put in a PR to remove wget and curl? That's amazing. What a Swede.

I agree in principle. There are a few concerns: 1. How should we receive costly research that took special equipment and lots of time to develop and cultivate? I.e., CERN? 2. A lot of research is published, ignored, and then rediscovered. I

Prepare early. Present often to someone else and get feedback. Be honest about what you know and what you don't. Know your audience and engage with them. Make your slides and code available online and tell people that so they pay atten
