Kind of odd: this seems like something better suited to a blog post than a Gist.

For python development, I'd also add Python(x,y) and/or Anaconda distributions for windows. They're binary installers that give you cpython interpreters + the kitchen sink when it comes to third party libraries and developmen

It sounds like we have the same background - I'd recommend getting into microcontroller programming with a platform like Arduino, and maybe look into some computer vision libraries (OpenCV is great).

> pick what language and coding paradigms best suit your problem domain and you as a coder An addendum: there is often no single obvious best way to do something. Though many approaches are obvious as being less wrong than others.

Wow. Looks like Youtube comments haven't improved much after all. Seriously, it seems like half of the comments seen on Youtube (or at the bottom of any article on a news site) read as if they could have come right from a post on Storm

The difference in public perception between Snowden and Bradley Manning is interesting. Is it because of the nature of the information leaked? Is it because Snowden got away, and some folks like to root for an underdog?

> Can someone from Orange County please go pay him a visit at one of his many offices or his cowork space. This isn't /b/. I'm pretty sure that kind of suggestion is frowned on in these parts.

Serious question to those with experience in the area: is the term "Deep learning" more than a buzzword?

Very curious to know if they set up a ODE 101-style Lotka–Volterra (predator-prey) system beforehand to gauge the impact. If so, that would make a pretty interesting "real-word" teaching example.

I had read all about the incident before, but had never seen the FBI report. So there is some stuff that you may not have seen.

No disagreement with RMS actually, but just out of curiosity: Back when land-line telephone subscription was more popular, did folks used to complain about the phone company putting their name and address (by default) in a large directly sh

Anaconda and Python(x,y) on windows help out a ton. Similarly for Homebrew on OSX. On Linux, if you have a package manager you're probably good to go.

Python+Numpy+Scipy+Spyder/IPython have made headway around these parts in displacing MATLAB/Simulink. Simple single installers (Python(x,y), etc) have certainly helped.

Meh, feels like a bit of a stetch. But still a better analogy then those consultants who try stretch and apply "The Art Of War" to everything in the business world.

Great demo, well written code. Though reading through it also highlights that JS is not a great language for linear algebra. But I don't think anyone is really suggesting otherwise.

Assuming that this is a conservatively minded region (correct me if I'm wrong), aren't frivolous lawsuits one of the things that they campaign against?

Is the control code written in Python (which seems to be the favored language on the Pi)?

It doesn't seem too different in scope from the Army's intel analyst course at Ft. Huachuca. At least the reporting aspects of the job.

Cool, but I've been using python+scipy+sympy on a pi for almost a year now. I think Wolfram is a bit behind the curve.

Editorial review of docs is helpful too.

Very sad. The world is a very big place though, this kind of stuff is bound to come up. I do hope the Maps folks take some action.
