As a first pass definition it does well to explain the concept. Even if you're interpolating you will need to rank the samples and find the two nearest neighbours to interpolate between. It serves to distance it from…
The quartiles are defined by doing the sorting and splitting algorithm. So if you want quartiles (or any other quantile generally) you need to calculate it that way. The mean and standard deviation (sigma) are…
For what it's worth, you've convinced me that my beloved box plots need to be explained if I want to use them again. The SVG you've provided clearly shows that the box plot splits the data in 4. The interquartile range…
As I understand it, it's more that the mathematical functions aren't specified by the standard. There is no sqrt instruction. So you stard with a taylor approximation, then maybe do a few rounds of Newton's method to…
I know this is a very late reply, but I'm curious. How often does it align that the functional argument that you want to specify is in the correct position of the argument list that you get to make use of this feature?…
> l_add needs the arguments passed one at a time. We never see this syntax with multiple parenthesis in Python. It works and it has many benefits built in, but it would be a paradigm shift to expect pythonistas to start…
It's tricky. I find it a little sad that regional accents are disappearing but it's a process that's been happening for a long time. The trouble is that there's real benefits for having certain accents and you can't…
I think the example problem has many issues with it which confuse the issue. There is a pervading assumption that more slices is better. What if Alice only wants 5 slices? Then her fall back is quite close to what she…
A genuine question, from someone who doesn't have the option: would you prefer to have it banned?
I've noticed a lot of turns at traffic lights are getting explicit red arrows. A solid green light without an arrow means that you need to give way to pedestrians and other vehicles if turning. It feels to me no one is…
Warning labels, perhaps not. But in Australia I cannot run Cat6 for "safety". I might electrocute someone with the 12V and must get a licensed professional to do the work for me. A label warning that high voltage is…
Jobs shouldn't be a limited resource.
Funnily enough, I really struggled going to Java and python coming from C++ originally. What do you mean I don't know if I'm getting a copy? The semantics of passing something to a function were so confusing and I was…
He almost got there in the end, but he stopped short. The plough will break. Then what? Do you know how to make charcoal and how to make a forge? What about replace the steel that's rusting around you? Beyond the…
I get the feeling sometimes that language is unstable in the absence of outside forcing. Stupid, moron, retard. People start using them as a pejorative and so a new neutral term is required. Lavatory, toilet, water…
Genuine question: How is this different from a F1 engine where each piston head is crafted for each cylinder in the block? When you go high performance things that look like they're a commodity become one-of-a-kinds as…
R is from ~2000, while pandas started in 2011. Is it possible that the lack of compute power had an effect on the required performance characteristics?
Yes, it would. But right now the long term maintenance of the A380 is shaky despite Airbus still being around. Devils advocate to long term maintenance with a large company: they could just stop caring about you as a…
Just checking, even though you likely know. The numpy arrays really only pay off when you vectorise your calculations. Don't expect any speed up if you're still using list comprehensions. A vector operation is just…
In this case if they create enough supply to match demand the price will fall as they are no longer "limited supply". They would far rather leave money on the table than push it too far and lose the value proposition…

I don't think this would be the case. (A proportion of) People love to share things like recipes, they would share them regardless. Some other people found they can monetise recipes by putting ads on their sites. They…
The big trouble you'll have is incentives. Who has an incentive to put them up in a noisy place?
