   I'm going to order it right now. I highly recommend the little schemer and the seasoned schemer too! I have read all the titles (MLer and Java too) in the series and those are my favorites. The only one I have not finished is the reaso

   I think a company should not policy your personal life. What's the rationale behind this?

   For me Bayesian networks are a tool of thought and I think it's worthy to learn them in the same way it's worthy to learn to sketch functions with pen and paper.

    I think, but not remember too well, that tests and some human analysis can suffice. But in the end there is testing, more tests and whole teams dedicated to testing.

    I'm not sure for space, for aircraft it's usually C or Ada and lot's of testing. Sometimes Scada. I have not seen static analysis applied. You could use any language of your choosing but you then would need to demonstrate tes

    I think the reason big companies will ask more often for a degree is that they are more risk averse. More exactly the people working there are more risk averse and hiring someone without a degree would require some explanation since it&#x27

    This is great! I will bookmark it. I really like two things: first, the progression from simple to more complex figures. Matplotlib's documentation has the tendency to give very complicated examples. Second I think it's great it s

    The main point of the article seems to be that living the present is better than worrying about the future. For me it's just the opposite: I love to think about the future, being better at some sports, learning new things, working on m

    Phone seems much more intrusive to me since it's a quite personal and private channel of communication as opossed to TV, or it should be at least.

    I agree mostly with you but I will add that I think that sacrificing privacy for the benefit of the majority is shortsighted in this case. People must be reassured they can talk freely to their doctors (as they do with their lawyers). I thi

    Maybe one of the reasons why they have lost political power is that the most profitable companies today employ much less people than before, as mentioned in the article. Or at least they employ less people in their own country. A huge workf

    I wonder if there is some survivor bias there. I'm sure there must be cases where everything went wrong but nobody writes about it.

    And my own experience is that I learned coding and using Linux on my free time several years before entering college, where I studied engineering, which required no little effort. Programming is hard, I'm not denying it, but so is ever

    I think you read more in my comment that was written, probably because it's usually the beginning of a rant in favor of communism. I don't share Marx's view on the solution, but my point is that he correctly addressed the pro

    I find Marx theory more plausible in this case. It is well known that land and wealth has been acquired by expulsion of people from different faith from your territory (I'm thinking for example expulsion of Jews and Moors from Spain) o

    Same here. Some problems in ML are embarrasingly parallel like cross validation and some ensemble methods. I would love to see better support for Spark in scikit-learn and better python deployment to cluster nodes also.
