I can vouch for the value of the material. I took yours last year and it definitely helped with both work as well as my personal projects. In particular the components on functional knowledge are things that other courses tend to ignore.

Seems more like mathematician ego rather that Wolfram's ego. I see the same attitude in xkcd, for example. http://xkcd.com/435/ There was also a recent article on here about how programming is a dead-end, non-pres

Tested and duplicated on an iPad air here. It's Safari's issue, though. There's a bug in mobile Safari that I can replicate on other sites. Scrolling on Craigslist's map view when the page is loading also crashes the bro

Explains why they prevaricated on other Bluetooth styluses: http://support.fiftythree.com/customer/portal/questions/1461... Safe to say this is the only one that will be supported.

31.0.1650.48 here as well. It appears to be a bug with a combination of the ::selected pseudoelement in conjunction with the font Georgia. My guess is it's a Chrome-on-mac bug (Firefox is fine), not a site coding error. Disabling eithe

No. There's no print stylesheet, and it breaks on readability. Otherwise, you could try blocking JS on the page. Best to copy-paste everything into your plaintext editor of choice. Bit screwy, but it's better than the existing pag

It is. The Aldi's in Wisconsin, USA are pretty much the exact same as the one I was at in Berlin, except for different brands. Pretty much the same layout, except the Berlin one had beer.

"Won't fix, as designed." B2B web apps have been hacky since time immemorial. Where I work, a different engineering team wrote a CMS in a bunch of Java with somehow Perl CGI to handle all of the little hacks that couldn'

Because procrastination is the inability to deal with self-set deadlines. By definition, even: "the action of delaying or postponing something." Which means that a self-imposed deadline gets set back indefinitely, forever. I'

Considering they way it went down [1], Microsoft felt (and may still feel) that the web is an enterprise market. In so, that it was selling developer tools to web shops because the code goes through Microsoft servers to Microsoft clients. I

One thing I've never gotten is that there are more women than men (USA), but men have much higher rates of being unattached. Is this a case of men having multiple partners, or am I misunderstanding the math?

I think that would actually be great for an introduction to actor-based modeling. That is, if you think that it's a valid discipline. SimPy looks interesting, it would definitely be a more "pure" approach than scripting RePast. http://simp

VB: Programmers are too expensive. Business Process people are more necessary. MUMPS: All other languages weren't written for/by medical doctors/professionals. Lua: Python and Ruby are each too big to embed.

Having played with a toy geolocation feature detector for text, I can safely say it's extremely hard to do well. My first attempt is inspired by Peter Norvig's spelling corrector using a corpus built from the places2k.txt file, but it gets

I can't really see Google proper abusing this, as the product is one-to-one the monitoring: commerce. If you accept that, Google Now is just really targeted advertising—a big, NLP-based, bayesian coupon. It seems like the bigger issue is wh

Yes, __Thank You!__ I've been spending hours at a time looking for it, spamming here was a last resort. (Throwing "Postgres" in my searches was what was fouling them—turns out it was just spawned by Heroku's Postgres team...)
