Actually, unfortunately I think that the price is more like 9 cents per GB, so the calculation looks even worse. The $0.01/GB you saw must be across zones within AWS? So ~$900/month for bandwidth alone. The disk and CPU…
Such models presumably can be tested in some sense. E.g. build some sort of predictive model of elections in each state using Twitter users as a surrogate, see how well you do. I'm not claiming that such a model is…
If you have a demographic model of twitter users and appropriately re-weight, why is this a bad approach to take?
"Firstly, we expect some users to have a large number of documents in their Dropbox, making it non-trivial to update their corresponding index “instantly”." If the alternative is maintaining a single index, won't the…
Layoffs not based on talent? As competitive as the market is, throwing away valuable people seems insane to me.
GNU Scientific Library? I've not benchmarked it against Numpy/Scipy, but there is quite a bit of overlap in functionality.
Modern AI (Machine Learning) doesn't have anything to do with Lisp.
Isn't map/flatMap and orElse enough, if only for Optional?
How frequently can/should one ask for raises? I was under the vague impression that once a year is reasonable, but looks like I might be wrong.
Minix 3 seems like a really good route for this purpose. Supposedly a kernel in less than 10k lines of C.
Does this have comparative summary statistics for these exercises? I did 45 WPM on the first Scala lesson; is this average, terrible, or good?
Brian Harvey's video lectures on Scheme using SICP: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/playlist#c,s,Spring_2011,EC3E890... along with the home page for the class: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp11/ I'm going to use it…
I think it is mostly wonderful. In the part of the third world my parents are from unless your family is independently wealthy then you simply won't be able to afford to go to college and thus are destined to (at best)…
