This attitude is not uncommon in programming / CS. It's similar to those who pine about learning a half dozen search algorithms when they rarely need to implement them in practice.

The phrase "raw numpy" strikes me as funny. I would figure that's about as abstract as you could get while still working with the math (discarding symbolic engines).

But that happening is just as likely as the fragmentation that exists in C++. Getting OpenCV to play nice with Eigen can be a hassle.

Was bar placement not standardized to be at the end of every measure?

If I recall, he lost his first race for public office because his opponent criticized him for being too academic, which prompted him to change his image.

> Pretty much. The review process seems to be about the same across most journals. In fact, there's probably a niche for some journals that have an actual editorial process where an editor actually...edits the prose. Some journals d

Maybe I've been drinking to koolaide for too long (and it's not a good flavor), but the 1-based indices in MATLAB are not bad once you get used to them. They're especially nice when translating mathematical papers that normal

Indeed. A lot of it went over the head because I don't know much classical statistics, but I read some articles by stats people that basically boiled down to the distinction not being in the techniques but in common assumptions, rigor,

There's a technical distinction in that serfs are bound to the land, not an individual, but that's nitpicking.

I couldn't believe they actually got him. Those last couple of seasons had some really quality guest appearances. (Also, all episodes of Frasier are great...)

Actually, part of what made Shakespeare successful was that he wrote for both classes. Commoners also went to theaters back then.

Premature, but scheduled to hit 1.0 in ~1yr. Really promising right now, though.

The plus side with MATLAB is that you can auto-generate code if you are willing to shell out for the add-on.

What benefits does R have other than vectors as native citizens? I mostly use MATLAB (ugh).

Third addition has it [0]. The second does as well, but the first doesn't have an online index. [0] http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/aima-index.html

This stuff was never written for the public at large. It was written for the (upper-)middle class. Particularly those who already know something about the subject or enough about the academic/cultural sphere that they can wade through

They've talked about this on the show. Lots of deals fall through after the episode is shot and they start doing diligence.

You can get used to it. In college, I had a semester where I was taking 6 classes, half of them project heavy grad classes. I only pulled one all nighter (that was on me) that semester, but I was regularly getting 5-6h of sleep when it wasn

I agree with this, except for 2. I need to write things to internalize them, and I get a lot more out of lectures I take notes in because it keeps me focused.

I can see why he discourages it. It prevents understanding why a matrix is singular. I often find students who use it as the main justification for singularity without further understanding singularity -- namely that it occurs when a linear

Most people get scared by things they cant visualize. I have a friend at a large, popular tech company. He was tasked with solving a problem that a linear regression was exactly perfect for. The thing they were trying to model was even know

Wouldn't this be asynchronous since there is no ordering unless explicitly constructed, or are we using different semantics?

That figure isn't quite right. First, salary varies depending on what you mean by researcher. Someone with an MS in a hot field is going to make more as a specialist than a PhD student or postdoc in academia and professor salaries can
