"You can screw around with that and come to realize that you're completely out of control, you don't know how many threads are involved and exactly how" I think this was the turning point for me, the day I realized someone had created this

Python has been by far the most straightforward and easy language for me to pick up and just code and also read out of anything I can remember. Not that I use it a whole lot, it's still beautiful to me.

"That's just conpletely false. I don't know where your assertions are coming from but language design absolutely has a great deal to do with what kind of tools / developers you can expect to find to support the language. I'm all a-huff with

When's the last time a development team making an internal technical decision became something a company chose to "officially announce"? "ÜberCorp announced to shareholders today that it decided once and for all curly braces belong on a new

That's a perfectly good response. Just wanted to know if this was a "people quietly shuffling and re-implementing some core algo" kind of announcement or more general scientific theory. So, thank you. By all means keep researching and advan

Forgive my ignorance, but does anyone know any real world examples where something like this might improve a certain type of work? I'm sort of fuzzily half-assedly thinking this might be applicable to image - and by extension video - work b

I work with multi terabyte data sets myself as a software engineer, but after working with these people am not under the mistaken impression that I'm a data scientist of the kind described in the article. I wouldn't have known this about my

You're right, it was an insult. It is nonetheless still true.

The thing is that you really ~can~ just say that. Statistical analysts aren't f-ing around when it comes to analyzing data and are capable of some extremely magical things that you can't just "pick up" randomly simply by working on data a l

Since I work daily with a group of these "data scientists", I can only assume your comment indicates that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Actually that's exactly the opposite of true. In fact you -need- old data to validate that your mathematical model actually works by applying it to whatever historical timespan of data you are trying to derive intelligence from. At least if

We wouldn't be having this discussion on the Internet if it weren't for our love of "tits and ass". Why are we acting so prudish about sexuality? I know my wife wouldn't care about a reference to celebrity t&a. What kind of girls do tak

Probably a good article if it weren't impossible to read due to broken mobile detection "logic" in infinite redirect.

I think his main point was that people are already hoarding but - like most knowledge - don't know what they're missing/clueless about without some good statistical analysts. My employer has a whole department of these analysts and after wo

How can we honestly accept anything coming from the people who gave us eclipse? What a giant stinky pile of pooh that turned out to be. I think that the current stewards of the java language are actually going down the most helpful/likely t

I was mildly interested until I discovered that the blog was void of any useful content other than an attempt at re-defining craftsmanship to mean whatever TDD mantra the poster believes in. Don't know why this is on the front page.

Lol! For the first time ever I ran across a reasonably sized perl based project where I actually understood and could read the flow of things and I've written plenty of perl many ages ago. (even that god awful object oriented style perl the

I can't add anything more to what @jsmcgd said but Rich's strange loop talk really brightened my day and more importantly gave me the tools to express what I sometimes try to share with other developers in the clearest way possible. Thanks

Did you watch the video? He wasn't talking about tools and he wasn't talking about clojure. It was programming in general and if you have to ask if it's worth your time the obvious answer is no.

Ouch! (regarding getting fsck-ed with command line options) Before current job I built a fairly large more general media management system which included tons of video related work (and encoding ;) ) using ffmpeg for some fairly prominent (

Where's the shout out to ffmpeg? Don't tell me that almost all services involved aren't built on top of it.

It's true, and we could always use more development help if you're in dc @catalist.us among others..
