Also, could someone comment on the effect size of b = -.001, which is within the 95% CI. Because if that translates into a day in a hundred years in "longevity" terms or something like that, than I wouldn't call the result &q

Would you rather edit a messy dataset in pandas or in Excel? What about automatically generating reports? Going to give managers your ipython printout?

>loading those files into Pandas or R What is "massive" for you? I was under impression you can't use R or pandas for anything that doesn't fit into memory.

Thanks. By training I am not a computer scientist, but an applied mathematician, so it is a little difficult for me to make judgement calls on things like type system, lazy evaluation, unary/variadic (don't even know what that mea

Off-topic: I want to learn a functional programming language, and I was thinking to go with Scheme (because, you know, SICP...) Would there be any advantage for me to go with Haskell instead?

Right, it just seemed like they didn't make any connection whatsoever between this particular research and a concrete naval/engineering problem. Kind of like saying "look this is math, engineering is important to Taiwan, engi

Just randomly looked up one of the publications. It's not my area, so I can't talk about the meat of the paper itself, but what does the discussion section have to do with anything? http://waset.org/publications&#x

Is that prior ever used in practice? How does it generalize to several predictors and interaction terms?

Since we are on the subject of PostgreSQL, does anyone know of a good resource that would teach me how to create webapps where each "customer" would get their own "database"? What are the best practices for that? Also, w

Not really offensive but definitely screaming "American!" We would more likely cross our legs in "feminine" way.

No way! I just picked up a book of his poems at my local second hand shop, come back home, open hacker news and see him mentioned. What are the odds!

That doesn't make sense to me. You're saying the banks won't let the criminal put their cash in the bank, but if the criminal converts the cash to bitcoins and back to real money they somehow will? Either way I don't thi

I grew up in south eastern Ukraine (as Russian as Ukraine gets). I'm still in touch with some of my childhood friends, and the views are pretty split in my hometown. One friend that I went to school with always posts all kinds of pro-E
