I don't have any insightful macroeconomic explanation to offer. Just my $0.02: if you are complaining about earning $80,000 to sit behind a computer screen and type all day, you are one entitled SOB. There are 10…
The battle between R and NumPy reminds me of the competition between American and Japanese auto manufacturers. Did American car companies successfully play QA catchup in the past 10 years? Probably, and God knows they…
If I ever strike it rich, I swear to god I'm donating $5,000,000 to the cause of reaching total feature parity between the best of R's packages and NumPy/SciPy.
Keep in mind that a couple weeks from now, the Western outcry about this news will die down, but their air will still suck! When I was in Beijing, I felt so terrible for the infants I saw on the streets. My lungs felt…
I would think that a multi-level/hierarchical/mixed GLM would be an interesting approach to their data. Multilevel modeling assumes that there is correlation between observations that are inside the same "level". This…
In other news, the sun is still pretty hot!
They might not actually break in half (I was exaggerating), but my point is, when something inevitably happens to any such computing device that sees so much travel tome, there goes at least $150 for a new screen, or…
I've used an iPad before and I am totally willing to admit that it is a sexy device. It felt fast and was able to do a lot of useful things. What really convinced me to buy my netbook was the ability to not worry about…
Did you do a clean install of windows? Mine ran like crap until I did that, plus I doubled the pre-installed RAM to 2GB.
It's an ASUS eeePC 1015PEM. Unfortunately I don't think they sell them anymore. They've since upgraded the processor to an 1.66GHz N550 which performs better on youtube, but I've heard it gets 25% less battery life.…
Before I moved internationally for school, I was concerned I would need a secondary computing device that would have a lot of functionality, a lot of portability, and be cheap enough not to worry about if it, say,…
