Having not run DOS/Windows since 1995 I haven't needed to. I can't imagine dealing with an OS without the kind of enormous and comprehensive software repository of Debian or pretty much any distro.
It's been more than a decade since I paid for any software, Mathlab for Linux. It was a requirement for a class I was taking - Ironically, I never did have to use it. Octave proved more than adequate. Before that...…

David Brin's Existence. I could list a lot of others, but that is the one I'd list at top by a wide margin.
What would make the most difference in the quality of life for those on the street would be public showers, public restrooms accessible 24/7, and access to secure and affordable temporary storage in order to leave…
Jupyter Notebooks + Theano + Lasagne + Matplotlib + [the pip package ecosystem]. For my weird little niche (Machine Learning / Computational Intelligence), it is the perfect tool. It's also the perfect language for…
I've never clicked on an ad other than by accident on any site. Of course I use adblock, but even if ads were to be displayed I can't imagine anyone directing any attention to them once they are recognized as ads -…
A machine learning laptop doesn't make a lot of sense - you won't find a laptop with a comparable GPU. Really, the answer is whatever you are comfortable working on - you'll be connecting to a server or AWS GPU instance…
Debian.
Funny.. The majority of AI research is currently using open source libraries (Theano, Lasagne, Torch, Keras, Scikit-Learn, Nolearn, etc. etc. etc.) Now Google does have access to a whole lot of data that the rest of the…
