This is great for working with python - https://github.com/gregsexton/ob-ipython I haven't had as much luck using it for other languages, but I also haven't put in much effort into trying.

Any suggestions for composing gantt charts in org mode? I've been using taskjuggler but printing them out to anything other than html (ex. image, pdf) has been a hassle.

I moved from dual booting mine to running Windows in a VM. I find it to be much more convenient and so far windows runs almost seamlessly (after upgrading to 32GB memory).

I strongly encourage using Julia for anyone applying mathematical optimization. It is (through JuMP[1], for example) one of the areas in which it really stands out. [1] https://jump.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickst

edit: local[1] has been updated to local[N], thank you for the update! Ok thanks, I didn't know that's what "local[1]" did, so the more relevant comparison would be with --master local[30]? The algorithm took around 500

I have been using Julia in emacs, primarily using ESS [1] and ob-julia [2] (org babel julia package). It is relatively well integrated with some basic auto-complete features and nice org-babel integration (as good as python or r). [1] http

Cab service is bad inside Vancouver and utterly miserable outside Vancouver proper. If you are in the North shore, Burnaby, Tri-cities or further, you pretty much have to book a cab well in advance and then call in to remind them, and even

Any idea why only 2 out of (seemingly) 4 assignments are posted? Are the other assignments available anywhere?

The library is still more sparse than other languages, but for implementing methods on your own there is no better alternative. Also for using existing libraries and functions, I found pycall to be very fast and easy to use. I also used rca

It seems that though with in Julia, vectorized code is typically slower than non-vectorized, it is still faster than in R [1] / Python [2]. [1] http://www.johnmyleswhite.com/notebook/2013/12/22/the-r

Cool. Have you found the MCMC approach to be less robust than clustering? It seems like this may be the case due to probability model assumptions.

Would be interesting to try and fit a distribution to error rates (some type of counting process) and then monitor the probability of having the occurred number of errors (with in some period of time). Then low probability events might indi
