Academics write the paper for free, academics review the paper for free. I've published quite a bit and never had worthwhile input from a non-academic editor. A journal's only real cost would be in hosting costs, which I'm su

Agreed, what a weird statement by the article's author. My kids love reading books. They don't read on screens much, it has to be a book.

IANAL, but I believe that in Australia, you would be entitled to a refund. There is no fixed time limit on refunds, and it would be reasonable to suggest that a game like this should just keep working. You'd probably have to argue yo

A "use it or lose it" clause would be great for patent law. While I appreciate how hard it would be to implement properly, I don't think that should be an impediment to getting the process started.

That's a great idea. Have an opinion about the standard from experience, not gut feel.

Yeah, this is a common fallacy, I'm sure there would be a name for it. Basically "my strategy will work, assuming my opponent doesn't act at all", and ignores the fact the opponent is a capable, well resourced entity. Ma

Website lists October 14th, 2019 as the article date and quotes a tweet from four days earlier. So I'd assume it's new.

Is that the stance? I haven't heard anything on that front. I'm sure there is a great market opportunity for some developers to do the migrations, or to alternative do backporting for some large companies not interested in mingrat

Any major library that hasn't moved to Python 3 by now isn't going to on their own accord. Either that means they won't, or that the sunsetting will kick them into gear (or get their users to kick them into gear). It should b

Yeah, I don't think it is true - as a secondary function, shares can occasionally give dividends.

After a couple of cancellations of shows I was liking, I'm not generally that enthused about starting a new show. Especially given the trend of not resolving anything at the end of the first season, where you get no payoff at all. I do

Part of the "original" appeal of Netfix was that it was a one-stop-shop, and that effectively killed piracy for a large number of people. The legal solution was easier than the illegal one! Segregation will just revert many back t

Yeah, I went into the article prepared for a "NO! Leave that in!", but I didn't realise just how much very old cruft was in there.

It uses a non trivial amount of resources for (nearly) every python install. Therefore if it isnt of substantial use then it should be removed to free those resources

Don't they both take a 30% cut?

Thats not what I meant. I was more considering "help those people" than "take advantage of them and lock them in"

True, but there are a large number of people for whom just running "make" at the command line is too much of a hassle. This is normally the market, not other technical people.

Note that the top level summary shows it is 10x faster than Spacey, which is a more impressive achievement than being 10x faster than NLTK (it is 20x faster). NLTK is designed for learning, not for production systems, speed or efficiency. T

This book is quite good. I was recently looking for a more production-ready kalman filters, but the ones I found tend to be either abandoned, lacking lots of features, or not mature code bases. Are there any robust libraries for Kalman filt

I think there can be lots of value in them, but only in the long-form review, where the product is described and evaluated. Aggregating the numbers makes no sense.

I cancelled Basecamp today, because it didn't fit with my workflow, and the whole thing was easy . So much so, I would probably be using it again in the future (I work mostly by myself, need a "master todo list" and with man

This is a series of good points. Near where I live (Australia), we had some roadworks on the freeway, causing the lanes to be temporarily moved. The "new" lines where yellow, instead of the normal white, and much harder to see. Fu

Look for a slower news source in your region. The 24 hour news cycle produces mostly low-quality content, where you want to be more aware of the big things that happen that have more impact.

The only problem here is sound. Sound can be hard to get right, and I've stopped watching lots of interesting "meetup recordings" on YouTube because they just used the on-camera microphone and the audio was awful. It's a

I use both Dropbox and Google Drive, and the in-OS integration is a killer feature for me. The ability to just drag and drop into a normal folder (or work from a folder) and have those changes sync is great. I use Google Drive mainly for Do
