I’m not disagreeing with that statement at all. You missed my point that there are thousands of people making small Python scripts for education and personal projects everyday. In those circumstances the performance concerns are irrelevant and the ergonomics of good pandas documentation and community knowledge make it a better choice.

> People typically start with Excel and graduate to Pandas somewhere in the GB range. Pandas serves them well into the 10s of GBs range, and then they start hitting memory issues, slow computation, or become frustrated with Pandas’ baroque API.

Assumes that a project moves beyond 10s of GBs. I guess 99.9% of projects that import pandas fall well below this threshold.

The explanation is quite good but is there even more detail on what the assembly instructions are doing on a line by line basis? I’ve only written MIPS assembly and that was a long time ago.

Sydney to Melbourne is #2 and is barely a 1 hour flight.

You know it's a good paper when you reach the end and ask "is that it?" and yet no one else has thought of it before.

Side note: local-global approximation seems to do well in graphics and visual tasks. For example in the field of alpha matting the state of the art for a while was KNN Matting which sampled locally and globally. Most methods since then have taken a similar approach.

Yes! I thought it was my DNS or something. It only happens on mobile.

You wouldn't need to monitor individual threads and processes. Only average response time for each server or total CPU load.

Why not just use a PID controller to load balance?

Well the advances remain to be seen in the decades to come. I could understand that level of excitement for putting a person on Mars but not for a satellite deployment or ISS restocking mission.

Maybe it's just a cultural difference but there is something unsettling and cringey about seeing those employees act so enthusiastic.

Is it genuine? Maybe for some employees. But the camera setup makes me think there is some expectation placed upon the employees that they will be there to cheer. It's not natural.

What exactly is wrong with that discussion? I found the level of evangelical, employee circle jerking at these SpaceX events to be nauseating. And that was before they started chanting. Well done guys but it's just not necessary.

> We’ve all been there: Some jerk cuts you off on the highway. You lean on the horn, scream abuse. You want to get out the car and kick the @#$% out of the bozo’s SUV.

Nope

That's not necessarily true. Most people in electric RC hobbies use Lithium batteries without any form of protection circuitry on the battery or cells themselves. The fire rate in the hobby is very low.

Wait why do you want to program it? The fun is in the flying of it. Especially FPV in acro mode.

> your algorithm might finish before it's time to graduate

MATLAB is quite fast at vectorised and matrix operations. For things that are slow you can write your own C/C++ function and call it from within MATLAB.

> Nearly 400 years ago, in 1623, Avedis Zildjian founded a cymbal-manufacturing company in Istanbul.

That text next to a picture of "Avedis Zildjian" confused me for a while before I visited wikipedia. Did a time travelling photographer take that picture? No it's just Avedis Zildjian the third.

The addiction to Minecraft (or most other online games) is purely social. Soon a new game will come along that the next lot of kids will all play together. There is nothing about Minecraft itself that makes it addictive. I've lived through this myself hopping from game to game with my high school friends.

Yeh they are such a nuisance. What with being located on farms or out at sea with no one around.

Get a grip.

It is just a pr piece.

Drugs are in a totally different category than peer reviewed articles. They go through rigorous testing that works the vast majority of the time to weed out unsuitable drugs. On the other hand peer review (having been through it a few times) is extremely sloppy and reviewers do not do due diligence. Often the reviewers can't even if they wanted to (no raw data released etc) and they have to blindly accept the authors claims.

I don't think science dies a little bit each time a dissenting or contradictory result is published. In fact it is a good thing. We need more people to try and reproduce others work. But at the moment we have is a problem of scale. In other words it only looks bad when there are two different conclusions. We need many more reproductions to come to a clear answer.

Not really a guide. I was expecting names of people and businesses or how to actually make the connections with factories etc. Going to Shenzen is not by itself enough. You could wander around the city for a week and get nowhere.

It is written in LaTeX. It even says so in the first few pages.

CVPR usually makes all talks available when the conference has concluded. Watch this page http://www.pamitc.org/cvpr15/.

The technical name for this is "collaborative filtering". I think they are basing their work on this paper

EDIT: Actually looks like Eq (15) from

Anyway there are lots of papers around on the topic.

You would rather ads that are not tailored to your interests?

Depending on your matrix there might be faster methods http://au.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2015a/matlab/ref/mldi...

And someone younger than you without savings would step in to fill your role. Youth unemployment in first world countries is very high right now.
