May be referring not to LQCD relying on approximate analytical methods but some of the other non-perturbative methods? Example would be trying to apply homotopy analysis method (HAM) or a related transform to whatever field equations to mak

Recently came back and hero'd a character for old times sake. The people who still play are a good crew and very welcoming of anyone who wants to play. It's a different game with fewer players, in that you have the run of desirabl

Interesting, thanks for the links! I've done your typical ANN 101 training in the past so have a good mental model for back-propagation. Modelling the actual nonlinear dynamics of "realistic" neural networks seems like an ob

It's interesting since Hinton's approach seems to be more inspired by the computational geometry aspects of vision (reverse computer graphics, invariant representations) and working backwards towards the neural superstructures. Ha

That's what came to mind first for me as well, but I think it's important to note that 'mindfulness' as defined in the paper is a specific type of "thinking harder". I wonder if there would be similar results i

I think this is a valid concern, but as JS engines start implementing more and more of the rich web client working drafts like FileAPI ( http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/ ), those same concerns will be valid for your browser too. I can only im

This post really really resonates with the thoughts bouncing around in my head currently. In the current environment (at least where I am) of well-funded startups with no shortage of benefits and work/life balance, a lot of people will thin

It might be worthwhile to take a look at certain types of game engine architectures. Since modularity is one of the keypoints of how this editor/game engine work so well together, it's probably a good idea to have some idea of how to struct

Cool! Since the startup I work for has been acquired I've been working downtown and lamenting the lack of such things. I'd like to check out your spot sometime! There's also an interesting group of folks over in silverlake at the "silver

Interesting! This seems like something that might work well with 3.0's function annotation support with the ability to specify that the handler's input argument conform to either a the streaming or buffered interface. As a point of curiosi

Ah no asterisk means nothing to replace, makes sense. Excited for 2.6 and scripting. Has much changed on the scripting side since the 2.2-scripting branch?

I had the pleasure of using the out of the box pdf2txt tool just yesterday. Worked pretty well for extracting some governmental data released (i.e. buried) inside of a PDF!

Agreed. I think I just wanted it to be cooler than it was :)

And from that Wikipedia article, it appears they have some applications in mining. Maybe that's related to the salt mining comments above?

I wish I could remember where I read this, or that my Google-fu was strong today, but not too long ago I read an article or mailing list post about (far-future) plans to get away from scrolling as a paradigm for navigating web pages. It is

Linear algebra is one of my favorite subjects. Of all the math I used while still in physics, linear algebra ended up being the most practical for solving everyday problems in other fields. A person can do a lot of damage armed with a good

Syslog implementations like syslog-ng support both TCP and UDP relaying of all log data on a machine to a centralized Syslog server, and can even bypass storing those logs to the source machine's disk at all. Syslog-ng also supports insert

I think there might also be another selection bias here, in that StackOverflow might be a bit self-selecting for developers who know their stuff. It's hard to say what this says about developers as a whole, including the ones not on SO, whi

Wow, thanks for posting this. I was equally inspired during undergrad and grad school by Feynman's "unusual tools", and ended up checking out a copy of Advanced Calculus by Woods which was apparently the book he used to learn calculus in hi
