Oink's Pink Palace. Yes it was a torrent tracker so arguably illegal, but the breadth and depth of music it cataloged (not to speak of the community) is still unmatched.

Or you can just ask. I emailed asking for a refund, citing corona, the (pre-paid, non-refundable) hotel I was going to stay at for SXSW and they refunded me the entire sum. Very impressed, and I'm sure preferable to credit card charge

The Sandbaggers is amazing; I found it to be more memorable and "realistic" (not that I could know) than le Carré. Also, all episodes are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKg_t-Prhqk&list=PLmRu2axUu2

I wrote a machine learning cheat sheet once, as a way to learn when I was in your seat: http://eferm.com/machine-learning-cheat-sheet/ Perhaps the cheat sheet in itself is useful for you, but mostly I'd recommend

Yes, a thousand times yes. I have never understood why dependency injection is not taught in OOP courses -- as described in the article, DI truly shows why OOP design is useful. Conversely, the "domain model"-approach commonly used probably

Nice! I've been using Arq for some time and it's great for selective backup (I use Backblaze for bulk backups.) Stefan, the developer of Arq, is also quick to reply and very helpful.

As a computer scientist, one wonders what kind of randomness? Is the date picked uniformly at random, or is there a bias involved (for example, a negative bias towards the coming days)?

For me, Xcode 4.1 removed gcc-4.0 (needed by brew for example). If you had Xcode 3.x it's still in /Developer-old, and can be re-added with ln -s /Developer-old/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0.

Homebrew works, after you run 'brew update' (in case you haven't already, I'm guessing). Initially got erros 'Cannot defer diagnostic messages' for pr, but updated brew seems to be working well.

If you search for "Lion" it's there. It doesn't seem to be under "Featured" yet.

It's available globally. At least if I'm allowed to extrapolate from {US, UK, Sweden}.

Sorry for the late reply. Here are my details: Mac OS X 10.6.8 all updated / Google Chrome 12.0.742.122 / MacBookAir3,2 / 2.13 GHz / 4GB RAM Would be interesting to know if you have, indeed, found an exploitable driver bugs.

A guess: some major browser's search bar started to parse "facebook.com" as a domain rather than a search term?

Cool, didn't know about these publications (I'm at the Comlab myself.) Seems like the webpage to sign up for the newsletters (by email!) is http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/industry/public/newsletter.jsp

Thanks for the comments! The course unfortunately couldn't cover all material on all algorithms, so the cheat sheet basically reflects my own knowledge rather than what's possible. I've referenced the Online SVM and Online Mixture model tho

Thanks for the comments! Good point about using cross-validation to learn K, I forgot about that. I added this to the cheat sheet. Also regarding online learning methods, I was probably a bit quick to dismiss certain algorithms as not suppo

Thanks for the feedback! I've changed the title to "Algorithms for Supervised- and Unsupervised Learning", which is definitely more appropriate. Initially the cheat sheet only contained linear classifiers, hence the misleading title.
