To be fair, Linux users aren't really completely left behind, there's the web interface (play.spotify.com). I'd be interested to know how many people use native app vs. web interface. The web interface is not always as snappy

This is great news for Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks: https://plot.ly/python/offline/ It basically provides interactive inline visualizations, making it great for data exploration (without having to send any data to

I agree that the analogy doesn't hold for the recent VW debacle (where the calibration was changed during certification testing), but it holds for the industry in large and what has been going on for the past 10-20 years, which is what

I think it is a bit unfair to just blame the manufacturers. The legislation could likely be changed to make for a more robust test approach. After all, it is engineers we are talking about here, if they are given a task to optimize an engin

Articles like this just confirms my theory that car journalists are the biggest obstacle for the automotive industry to truly innovate. It is as if they dictate the requirements for the general public. What the author completely seem to ign

Nice implementation - less is more! What algorithm did you use for color extraction? I seem to getting colors with the correct hue, but too low saturation? (example: Ferrari) You could also imagine to not show colors with very low saturatio

I have not read the full article (pay wall), but I have definitely experienced this in professional settings. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on this, especially with startup's desire to build "killer t

Did you consider doing spline fits to the x,y coordinates and then just saving the spline coefficients instead? The fit process could likely be done client-side, and could offer some subtle smoothing if wanted? Anyhow, really nice executio

Of course, and I'm sure dealing with the many different data sources (ie. weather and TV listings) makes it even more complicated!

Although this article discusses the actual collection and transmission of data, what I find more interesting is how efficiently the vast amount of data is being used in the decision making process for vehicle setup and race strategy. (I str

>"my current work visa application had been complicated due to a filing mistake" Making a mistake is not an acceptable excuse for these people (even Brad Feld experienced this [1]). Having been in the "backroom" twice

Very nice (I'd heart the software if I could!) Hype machine is fantastic for music discovery. The big hits always surface there months before they hit the radio/mainstream. Any chance for a Windows version (I'm stuck on a PC
