Thanks, thats very helpful. I did not know about the minus sign. A polite suggestion - maybe the link marked [-], that takes you to the index, could be labelled "index".

What are you getting stuck on? I'd love to improve things. I feel I am getting over the hump of learning rust now and coding in rust is becoming less frustrating for me. However, one thing that slows me down is the lack of indices in

We used to play Deus Ex 1 in a pair. The game was so different for each player and their playing style that it never got boring. We completed the whole game in this way. One highlight that I remember was the explanation of mass surveillance

First, thanks for taking time to write essential blog posts/documentation. Here would be my suggestions, I hope they are useful: 1. Its about error handling. Options are conceptually similar but they're not error handling. Options

The hacks needed to avoid the need for exceptions are uglier than exceptions. I felt like this when I read the scary documentation: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/error-handling.html However, in the total 4 hours

You don't need a source -- just read or print a decision tree after training one.

I think so. A lot of the recommendations are based on research and, at the very least, it helps strengthen knowledge that you may already have. I learnt a lot from Code Complete when I read it. It is also an easy read - its not a hard acade

Anyone using Julia for medium and small data sets? I have used Julia with a 50GB dataset for feature extraction while I was waiting for R to process the same dataset (10 minutes to an hour depending on the function). I actually learned so

One way round this is to put single statement ifs on a single line: if (x) then(); If you add another statement to the if, its obvious from the indent that you need to use braces.

I think that you are missing the big picture. To you it is a better numpy/python, to me it is a faster/cleaner/more parallelizable version of R, to some people it is a cleaner/faster version of Matlab. This could be seen

Passenger planes are much more fuel efficient per passenger-mile than single-occupancy cars. Where did you get this idea from? Flying being more efficient than rolling doesn't fit with what little physics I know. Do you have a better

I feel the equations are nicer when they are small and so I have sympathy for people using short variables names. One thing I would like is to see is more use of labels as described here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questi

I think its understandable that the media, especially the BBC, is a bit bitter. Here is an article from 2004 where the BBC chairman had to resign because of pressure from a government report over the evidence to go to war over Iraq: http:&
