I've used NLTK ( http://www.nltk.org ) to do something similar. And there's also http://scikit-learn.org/stable/ . Both libraries are for Python. As far as my experience with NLTK and machine learning in general goes: you'll need to spend

Isn't there a website that ranks not the restaurant, but a particular dish at a restaurant?

I really like the Lenovo X201. Good build quality and extremely portable. You'll need to get a docking station if you want a DVD player, but other than that, it's a pretty nice machine.

No recommendations. Although buy a wireless one. I have an old, simple one from Cateye that works like a charm.

Gadgets: Buy a u-lock (harder to cut) rather than a chain, wire or some other configuration. Buy a cycle computer (shows you your speed, distance for your ride, etc) - the feedback is great. You'll know when you're pedaling slower than usua

You can also get hired at a research group in a university without a PhD (as a full-time developer for example). The pay is not competitive with industry, but you get to work on interesting problems. I do this at Penn State.

"Please don't water down my PhD ... by teaching me management skills - I'm not in business school."" Most faculty manage groups of 5 - 20 people (their lab), a budget (their startup and other research funds) and have to deal with all the pr

If you don't like the mostly dry quinoa that's so popular in the US, try it in a soup. That's how the Peruvians make it, and it's a world of difference!

At a number of places I've worked at, people did not want t-shirts. They preferred a free meal instead. Mentioning that a t-shirt lasts a lot longer than a meal had no sway.

Postgres seems like a good option. Thanks!

If you don't like Java, you can use Python with the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and do the same thing. Please do provide the dataset for download.

I use the geocoder. It's terms seemed less restrictive than Google's.

Layout often also conveys information, and makes documents easier to read. Fonts are part of that layout information, but so is spacing.

I believe Orbitz is no longer owned by the airlines. It started off that way, though.

Is there a particular wireless chipset I should choose that works better with Ubuntu? Options seem to be: ThinkPad bgn Wireless and then various Intel Centrino variants.

If I install Ubuntu on it, does pretty much everything work? I don't care too much about suspend/resume, but I do need the wireless to work.

I'm hoping to avoid Dell. Their laptops (at least the ones I've been familiar with) seem to have poor build quality.

I don't get the point of traveling all at once (months at a time or more). It seems to me that most people that do so, visit dozens of countries back-to-back in a relatively short span of time. I would think that everything ends up being ra

Reading about the wiki and the Group that has formed, it seems to me that things would go a lot smoother if Vinay Deolalikar simply spoke about what he's done. It would be a lot easier to convey the outline of what he's done and answer ques

One of the great things about riding your bike into downtown (or into town) is that parking for bikes is easier to find and closer to your destination than that for cars. For years, the only way I'd go to the Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Au

To further this, get a job with one of these folks: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1557972 A lot of the jobs posted sound pretty interesting, with interesting problems to solve.

I think you've found an interesting problem to solve. However, it seems like the opposite approach would work better. Users would signal that planning an activity, and their friends would be notified (somehow) and could click a simple 'yes'

When I lived in Tanzania, Land Rover Defender (90s and 110s) were the most popular and seemed to be built for the road conditions. It's an established platform.
