I did my first (and only :-)) commercial program with Turbo Basic. I was pretty young so I didn't understand that Turbo Pascal would have been a better idea, but anyway, Turbo Basic was just a massive step ahead when you were coming fr

If the car sends data back to the mothership, then who pays the phone bill ? Say's it's about an SMS size each time I use a car so maybe 0.02$ a day ? 200 days/year, 10 years => 0.02 200 20=80$ and they sure have discount,

Omyyyy, if you are reading this, these may seem harsh comments but they are very good. If you have been able to code your project that far, then you're ripe to get serious about the stuff. Go read books, you'll be amazed !

I had the opportunity to update an application for a blind person. It's incredibly gratifying to know that after my work, someone who was excluded from using a software can now use it. But in my experience, accessibility is the 100th b

Russia is not a terrorist state. It's a country waging a war. It's not the same. You can find it OK or not OK (I personally don't) but it's not terrorism. Many countries have done that before, France is such a country.

If Zuckerberg finds it OK to talk like that to its employees, then it means the general culture there must be able to hear him. So you're right, very specific type of person. But I wonder : how would you describe that type ? the type &

For what I know of R (about 1.5 year full time with it; probabilities modelling/data analysis), I concur: the ecosystem is rich AND messy. I'm super impressed by the quality of everything, but it's often a "needle in a h

Well looking at Mathematica's documentaion, the notebook-like presentation of examples is definitely top notch.

Argh, R is very low in the list. That's strange because in my (limited) experience, it's incredibly productive for data analysis/modelling.

Nope! More precision sure helps but not in all cases. For example, having more precision will not help in boundary problems where you have to decide if something (for example an amount of money) is above or below a threshold. Moreover, many
