Your suggestion is one often made to me so I didn't realize it was facetious.

The truth is that many of the big data systems we build are starting to make complex decisions based on subtleties in data a non-expert human can't understand. We of course try to give reasoning along with the decisions, but it's often easier and cheaper to get decisions from a computer and then hire a domain expert as a consultant to write down the reasoning for the client in a monthly report.

As long as the actions your software tells your clients to take will save them money they don't really care about seeing the reasoning beforehand. And if they choose not to take action, you can tell them how much money they lost by not implementing the advice of the computer. It's a surprisingly effective way to do business.

I didn't realize it was a girl until after I made the post.

We should all feel sorry for her. Women are special creatures that must be protected and sheltered at all costs. How dare some men say anything bad about her.

Oh wait, they didn't say anything bad about her. They didn't even say anything bad about her code. They disliked her project. She even said most of the comments where positive. This is nothing more than attention whoring.

And you fell for it because she's a girl.

If you put something out there, people are going to hate and criticize it. Doesn't matter if you are a boy, girl, or three toed sloth. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean we should pay attention to someone who whines when a few people hate on the project. Nor does it make those haters terrible people. You don't hear Douglas Crockford crying every time someone criticizes him. And you don't get this upset at the developers who do criticize him.

It's sexist to treat her different because she's a girl. Everyone is criticized.
I think the word you are looking for is 'following' :-)
While this thread has prompted me to break my personal taboo of not going to fancy places by myself, my actual reason isn't how about how other people perceive me, but my perception as to what the proper role of such a restaurant is: a place to celebrate company through good food and good atmosphere. Going by myself would violate that--at least, I think it will--; I figure I ought to give it a try and see if anything feels lost from that.
Have you tried REC leagues? Where I'm from, they are quite popular. It's somewhat easier to plan, even though there always will be a couple of people missing (out of more than 11, though).
Totally agree. I've found just "calling" or "declaring" events is very effective.

I think the major problem with higher education is two things.

1) Inflation. So many people are now getting degrees that they are starting to mean less and less. But since so many people have a degree its starting to become a necessity for jobs that use to not require them.

2) People see Higher education as something it was not designed for. Training for a job. Historically (unless your going into a professional program such as engineering or medicine) education was designed to help in the quest for knowledge, not as a means to get a good paying job. And we are starting to see this more and more. A BA may give you tons of knowledge in literature, or history, or whatever your major is but more often then not this knowledge is not preparing you for a job, it is acquiring knowledge for the sake of knowing.
Join a league.

Life's too short to fart around with trying to find those extra few people. If you join a league, not only will you get your match fixes on a more regular basis, you'll have a broader pool to select from if you do try and set up something ad-hoc.

It seems like you listen to a lot of the propaganda used to separate people into classes that keep them believing that they shouldn't even try. We're living in an age where anyone with an Idea and a little bit of savings can bring a project to fruition.

Stop watching Americana Idol, learn from all the free resources online and lift yourself up from the bootstraps. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it!

Stop listening to the self-defeating prophecy feed to you by people trying to separate society for political gain. It's easy to write yourself off, give up, and take the drone job.

I did a bunch of FEA 15 years ago or so, and we were trying to keep the models at 1000 ish elements for decent speed runs. I remember having to go through channels to get a dual pentium 450 just for faster processing. Small stuff could be real time, but small keeps getting bigger and bigger.

A lot of what I was doing wound up balancing stiffness to strength, so that when the parts/bridges were deformed, the stresses in the pieces remained reasonable. It's a reversal of the normal mode of thinking, where you have given loads, but the deformations are driving the load in a lot of cases (e.g. thermal, earthquake, wave).

The engineer in me looks at that structure, and I can piece out what all of the bits are doing -- there's a shear band, there's the truss supporting it, there's the opposing moment forces. Though, I look at the voids and think fatigue. I know that they're likely low load areas, which helps.

[edit] I'd also be interested in the material properties of 3d printing, if they've got any issues with tensile strength, brittleness, or anisotropy.
Traveling with someone can be difficult. Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean you'll both enjoy living on top of each other for a while.
Another important metric is the use of R in clinical studies. The FDA now accepts much research in R whereas before they did not. That is a slow moving change, and shows R will be around, at least in use by Pharma, for a while.

This is because people are not looking for just any programmers, they are looking for very skilled programmers with a specialty in what their company does. Which is a hard ticket to fill the majority of the time.
That also harmonizes with my experience learning a language.
> The second thing I learned was never to entice people or make plans, but simply to announce plans.

This is also a great way to get dates: you don't "ask" them on a date, you merely invite them to go on a date that you'd already planned. It works much the same way as you prescribe. You're actually implying: "I'm going to go do something cool with or without you, and this is my invitation for you to join me _if you wish_."

Additionally, you can't be stood up if you never solidify your plans to revolve solely around one other person.
Unless I increased my speaking rate to prevent the awkward situation of requiring the comma... or perhaps there never was a pause there (eg "eats shoots...")

There were people who were posting their stuff on the internet. http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/ was a great resource before the crisis documenting how far off the rails the mortgage business had gone. I wouldn't say it went viral, but it did garner a lot of attention for a finance blog. Paul Krugman even mentioned it on his blog. Of course almost everyone I talked to about it back in 2007 treated me like I just said Stanley Kubrick filmed the moon landing. Back then it was pretty hard to say "Alan Greenspan is wrong and the guy on this blog is right" and have anyone take you seriously.

Of all places I'm surprised SO would consider jQuery a language separate from Javascript, an aggregate with a footnote would seem more appropriate.

Ever since I moved to another city, I eat alone all the time (breakfast, lunch, dinner). I have very, very few friends, and the few I do have live a bit of a ways or we just aren't that good of friends (so I guess they're technically acquaintances). Part of my family lives here, and they just think I'm extremely strange (they've never moved to a different city, though).

It's pretty normal for me now. The only restaurants I won't go to are the ones that are very fancy or where there is a huge social aspect to it (e.g., Korean BBQ restaurants; I've heard they actually turn singletons down! I don't want to risk that.).
My recommendations would be:

1) Prioritize ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA. This gives you forward secrecy, is reasonably fast, and avoids the security problems with how block ciphers are integrated into TLS (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/11/22/forwardsecret.html).

2) Enable HSTS headers. Not only does this protect you from SSL stripping attacks, it will often speed things up by eliminating a roundtrip (user types yoursite.com into their browser, makes an HTTP request, gets a 301 for https://yoursite.com, does a TLS handshake).

3) This article mentions Keep-Alive, but TLS Session Tickets are going to be more effective in reducing handshake overhead. Enable them, and setup a job to rotate your session ticket keys once a day.
That's an unusual suggestion - I haven't heard anyone complain about R's parser before. It's also hard to argue that R is a DSL (at least in the spirit of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language). There are many features of R, features that make it particularly well suited to statistics and data analysis, that would be very difficult to reproduce in an embedded DSL (missing values are one particularly important example)

In Brazil, a new law can be proposed by regular people if it gets one million signatures. While congress doesn't have to vote these proposals (they can basically postpone voting them forever), some of these have indeed become law.

The most recent one was proposed in 2009 and became law in 2010, changing the requirements to run for office (making them somewhat tougher on corruption).

PS: That law was nicknamed "Ficha Limpa". Something like "Clean Slate".
C/C++ shouldn't generally be needed. The computationally intensive part is optimized. What makes a given system slow is either poorly optimized numerical code (less common) or doing a bunch of needless repetitive work because the system doesn't make it easy to separate different components of the modeling.

They also won't even be seriously considered at most large companies because the typical person in that role doesn't have the skills and a single-person using a different solution makes it difficult to transition work.

I really don't think 2.2% increase in happiness during two studies is statistically significant.

It's not awkward if you sit at the bar. Just bring your smartphone. When you have a chance, talk to the bartender. Eventually, someone else is going to sit down, and see that you're friendly with the bartender, so you must be a nice guy. Then maybe you'll talk to them.
Number 2 is very important and I do that a lot. A small refinement: some of my friends started to feel arkward because they said "no" to a lot of things. Make clear that you totally don't mind a "no" and that its just your strategy to get to a "yes".

To add to pwang's comment, to me the problem with matplotlib is that it makes an assumption that I believe to be untrue: the majority of data analysis tasks only need a pre-set list of plots. In my experience, most data analysis tasks need some novel combination of existing components, that may not have a specific name (e.g. pie chart, bar chart).
I don't think its just about the stress of being commander. People still have team work, commanders sometimes still buy things for marine. It just makes it a lot easier in publics, when you've got someone who is dieing all the time, from consuming the team resources unfairly.

That is true, but constantly policing populations of people who are predominantly not white isn't a great solution to lower the homicide rate.

Of course, why crime rates have generally fallen over the last couple of decades in cities like NYC isn't well understood and no one person or administration can claim that they are responsible. However, we do know that NYPD policies are enforced in a way that promotes racism and class disparity and that Bloomberg has been a supporter of those policies.

It is important to realize that a benevolent dictator doesn't really exist and having balance in government is necessary, otherwise the people who do get shafted by any given administration get even less of a voice and support.

So my goal is to be a "Millionaire by May". I have 0 dollars right now (living in my parent's basement), and am close to an MVP. I'm going to start a company by myself, do everything myself, rake in the profits by myself. It'll be hard as hell, but by doing it myself I get to learn all the facets, and don't have to communicate my half assed desires (make it more blue-green!). I have a fluorescent dollar sign on my desk, whenever the going gets rough (or I don't want to do it anymore), the dollar sign goes on. Reminds me of my goal.

I've been pumping myself up recently with two things - excuses are just fear, and shoot for simplicity, not efficiency (if it's simple, it's likely pretty damn efficient). Unless there is a ridiculous technical problem, there is generally a way around a problem with a little bit of creativity and elbow grease. Excuses are just lack of desire to find those routes.

Idea for startup.

1. write a script to scrap google links to HP admin panel

2. filter out the IPs that are from US (given you want to work on US market)

3. assemble the list of printer types and current toner levels.

4. write a script that will print to each of those printers a one single page, stating your company "Cheapo Suppliers Inc" was notified that "your printer is low on toner. Call xxxxxx to re-fill. Lowest prices quaranteed within one day delivery!". You can add link to your shop page that already redirects user to specific type of printer they have, some type of one-click order (based on which toners are low).

5. daily rinse repeat.

6. sell your business to HP (at least try to).
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned traveling with your significant other / spouse / girlfriend / wife / boyfriend / husband.

I've made quite a few trips and it's generally not hard to plan something together with my wife, so long as we do it early enough so she can get off work.

She loves eating out, so it's never hard to ask her to eat out with me.

In general, she'll do most things with me, so long as they're not hardcore physical activities (mountain climbing, long distance runs, etc)- but even those she'll go watch if she's able.
This happened to me the exact same way. Couldn't get anyone on board so I bought a plane ticket to Hong Kong by myself randomly one night and it was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I've done a few other solo trips since.

I think the thing I like the most is the sense of ultimate freedom - no arguments or drama, disasters out of your control etc. Everything you do is because you chose to do it. If you make a mistake and screw something up, nobody is going to complain. After being in a relationship for 7 years I really long to get those moments back...

Look, I'm not trying to say such anger isn't legitimate. I'm only saying I think legitimate very angry shouting in public is some amount less common than illegitimate very angry shouting in public. Especially when you consider the contribution of children to the latter.

Let me put it this way. I understand that the world 'overreacting' is heavily abused. It is very often wrong. We need to fight the abuse of the word 'overreacting'. But don't counter it by being wrong in the opposite direction, and assuming that every single time someone is very upset that there is a good reason for it.

Also I'm prone to a pretty cold anger.

That's really nothing compared to searching for Canon ImageRunner admin pages (google lets you search for a URL by content/markers/text in the page info/name) - over on those imagerunner tech forums, people were able to bring up previous scans going back however far, and in minutes be looking at passports, medical records, college information, etc...

Maybe more disturbing is that as these things are decommissioned they are just 'junked'. Meaning sent over seas as is to be 'disposed' - anything ever copied, scanned, or sent on that thing is in there somewhere and some foreign nation is in control of MFDs that were in hospitals, law firms, architect/contractor office, police stations, and on and on and on.

The holes have been largely fixed through encryption and other techniques but only very recently - which I've been able to work around myself with forensic tools. I won't provide the link here, but if you google around you can find discussion on this topic pretty easily.
Save Homeworld (PC game)
SEGA bought Relic Ent group but left Homeworld franchise. Now there is a campaign on Indiegogo to raise money for it. Why not Kickstarter???
Well yeah I did try that and I played in a couple in the past but the main problem with that solution is the stress involved. Its totally different when you are playing with friends just for the sake of it, when someone plays a little rougher everything's alright quickly afterwards. In a league, and I strongly believe this is a cultural thing, people tend to lose Lots of time complaining and I end up enjoying it much less.
Batteries can't be an alternative because:
1) They need fossil fuels and finite minerals/metals to be manufactured and transported
2) The EROEI is way less

Why they chose Indiegogo instead of Kickstarter? And why SEAG decided to buy Relic Entertainment but leave Homeworld franchise behind? Sadface
This makes me think of peak oil and the fossil fuel crisis, where you have physicists and such ringing the alarm bells and nobody is really paying attention.
