After years of thinking and consideration, I switched recently. And behold... it is great. Just do it - there is so much choice that I am sure you will find your sweet spot. My suggestions: Xubuntu or Ubuntu w/o all the nasties, Elemen

I completely agree. This and the introduction of hostile upgrades on Windows 7 was the reason I actually switched to a Linux based operating system (Xubuntu), with my old Windows 7 as occasional virtualized guest operating system for old ap

Suggestion: Have a look at Lisp Flavoured Erlang [1], a Lisp-2 on top of Erlang/OTP that might be 90% of what you want to achieve. :^) I am sure they are happy for new members of the community! [1] http://lfe.io/

Very interesting, great concept! The paper is on my to-read list! I am only afraid that the datasets you have used might not be of sufficiently quality for a neural network application. There are old recipes when the state of art in chemi

The nice thing about Excel is that it does resemble a functional programming tool. Would love to work with a replacement, even if it is some sort of Pandas/Python/Matplotlibb derivative - but it takes too long to set up things wit

I drove them in 2002 Tunis to Sidi Bou Said. This link [1] has a picture of them, although I remember them being red. But human memory is flawed, for the bulky shape looks right ;) I witnessed a mass burglary/theft in the train, my fri

Making it to an IPO and owning n% is the platinum medal already. Anything else is just bonus. Would love to see more in depth comparison between the cases.

I second this. I have switched from Windows 7 to Xubuntu and have never looked back. It runs smoothly on a X61 IBM Notebook with 4 GB RAM. If I have to use an expensive software suite that is only available on Windows/MacOS, I Switch t

VLC is one of the best open source programs ever written. I use it on mobile+notebook for video and music (320-encoded files on a 128 GB SD card). Youtube/many other apps are just not OK in quality.

And shocking! I have never been in Detroit before, and followed the crisis through the distorted lens of media. this kind of imagery is a source for visual understanding of the impact of the crisis.

Could you elaborate on the data they are collecting? The human body with it's organs and molecular pathways is quite a tough black box to crack, and there is not a spark of a doubt that Soylent - and no one else - will not understand i

And you are not alone. It has been too much. If not for certain high value programs that run best on a native system, I would not start the old VMWare-virtualized Windows 7 up again. There are sufficiently good (and cheap) solutions in the

Chicken Scheme is a great Scheme implementation. For a beginner, however, there is a lack of IDE e.g. a good guide how to get EMACS running for Chicken Scheme. I used Sublime Text at the beginning, but I showed performance problems when usi

Well, good point, I typed my comment up fairly quickly. It is a lot of land occupied by a very recource hungry industry and less efficient industry e.g. you need 100x more water to make animal protein when compared to plant protein. We use

That is great news! Beyond Meat is not the only player on the block, though. The challenges in the alt.ag. sector lie in the development of mass production technology. From the side of the market, consumers need an extra benefit (animal cru

The analogy is horribly flawed, especially the bio compiler metaphor. In silico automatons are primitive in complexity when compared to processes in simple organisms. Disclaimer: Have seen both the IT/CS and biotech side of things.

Seconded. More and more noise, less signal. Unfortunately, this trend does not seem to stop at the IT sector.

What finally scared me off MS Windows were the forced updates and the blatant spyware. I still run a MS OS from time to time: Windows 7, for some legacy software, well confined in a virtual box. Linux is an alternative the days, both for in
