Echo this, they went out of their way to come through for us in an emergency. Fantastic service.

Vice is a fairly compelling case. They started with trashy "Do"s and "Don't"s, and now have reporters embedded within ISIS.

Enough to get by! I worked on this throughout university, and now at my startup. I was slightly blasé however! The corpus is tiny (173 episodes: http://www.chakoteya.net/ds9/episodes.htm ), so a topic model is unlikely

I see, apologies! I thought you had pulled in all episodes with a score > 7. I wonder how easily arcs can be identified. I'll try running the transcripts through a topic model this evening.

I like the idea, however I'd disagree with the heuristic used. DS9 was really the first Star Trek series to introduce story arcs, and as such, skipping the wrong episodes leads to a confusing experience. I'd argue that in order to

Streak ( http://www.streak.com/ ) has been a good start for us. Upsides are that it's flexible enough to match most pipeline progressions, exports to CSV, supports mail merge, and allows you to easily track emails. Our m

Right now no. We use intuition to extract these. We're taking notes though!

Definitely. You can sign up without Twitter, it might just take a bit longer to get to the bottom of what interests you!

No. We go through a user's followers by hand; identify common influencers and interests; cross reference these against interesting content from a range of sources. We will eventually look for scalable aspects, however right now we&#x27

Hey spindritf, good point. That was terrible copy. We've updated it to hopefully make more sense. We'd like your Twitter handle. This seeds us with our first few data points!

Hi sarreph. We hope to delight by understanding what each individual likes. From out initial testing, we've found that our first article is a pretty good starting point for tech "people" when we use their Twitter markers to i

Hey I'm one of the creators of Delight. We're using Twitter as a starting point. We hope to work out what makes you tick, but ultimately that will only come from a conversation with you - thus why we've chosen to individually

This highlights how "good" programmers are simply those who are most able to think like a computer. The article's language further reinforces this (perhaps intentionally), e.g. the reference to "compiling" functions

You'll never reduce Ruby to a pure grammar, there are too many ambiguous cases - my point was simply that it covers a subset which incorporates almost all common idioms. As far as I am aware it is one of the few openly available, non-trivi

I came across this issue when looking to build a stripped down Ruby interpreter in JS last summer. A few attempts have been made at defining its grammar, though with each new version the task becomes more and more challenging. If anyone's i

Thanks for the blog post, I hadn't seen that before. As I said before, these things are subjective. In my opinion, the prototype model is too far removed from the classical object model to ever teach effectively with it. Primarily, my disli

The first language decision is always a tough one. Having spent the past few months teaching programming to school children part time, I found that you're often weighing up a number of considerations. 1) You want a language/environment whic

Thanks a lot for these - been looking for a solid set of resources on this for a while.

Does anyone know of a solid Ruby interface for this? When I tried using it for a recent project I had a lot of problems getting the Gems to work on OS X. Other than that I've head a lot of praise for it...
