That is so correct.
I've tested the machine learning software on Azure. It is very nice and quite powerful. But without knowing what you are really doing, you probably get results which seem nice, but are in fact complete bogus.
If you do not know what overfitting is for example, good luck using machine learning algorithms.
If some manager starts using this, may god have mercy on us all...
This is so true. I do my work in a 10x15 meters office. In this office there are 36 people!
No walls, and worse: the company thought it was a good idea to place management between us, ordinary code monkeys.
I beg for a cubicle wall!
Blowing up the asteroid is not necessary.
Just let Chuck Norris do pushups: he does not bend his arms but pushes down the earth. Of course the crucial factors here are the pushup geographical coordinates.
Still my favorite CN fact...
This is so true.
I don't know on which planet he lives, but in my experience (yes I do work with SAP products) those obsolete guys are the ones which have to fix all kinds of BS and problems.
This guy probably only looks at how fast developments are delivered; and he does not have to work with his product at customers.
These customers are verrrrrrrry happy with an 'old obsolete guy/gal' because experience is priceless.
And also: age does not matter, if you don't catch up you will become obsolete. 20, 35, 40, does not matter.
A very interesting approach and quite cool.
But I have some doubts.
For me, the most annoying during rain is the glare from the wet road itself. When very wet, you can't see the markings (because of glare) which can lead to dangerous situations.
The article does not mention this.
And a second thing: shouldn't we be ditching headlights completely and go for a more sci-fi approach like HUD's, sensors...?
Predator did quite a good job...
As a graduated psychology student, I can tell you how my professor did his statistics classes:
He was almost desperate because of the small percentage of students who seemed to grasp what he was teaching.
I mean, a lot of psychologists are really 'out there' (I'm a psychologist myself, so I'm allowed to make this statement:-)
So he used any visual aid a man can think of: puppets, jars with marbles, excellent chalking skills on a blackboard,...
That worked very well!
For a small percentage of the students, it was kinda infantile. But for the major part, this approach was really necessary!
You have to know that lots of psychology students think there's no place for 'hard' science in psychology. They couldn't be more wrong of course (as they will also have to learn genetics and some basic neurology).
Now, I don't know if they are freshmen or not,but in the former case an extensive approach may be necessary. For senior students, well, teach like you already do. They now how to handle it, or at least they should.
Oh yeah, it's already mentioned before, but please: do point out the difference between correlation and causality!

Hey this made me think about this rant:

c'mon guys, mod up! This is funny as hell.

Damn, no mod points. This is funny as hell I mean science!
Mining, chicken farm....
It seems the chinese implemented a real life Minecraft. Can't wait to see their mob grinder!
The easiest way to understand agnosticism is to watch the South Park episode:

Aahhh, SP, relevant as hell...
"Coderdojo", must be an alias of the Super Adventure Club.

It is a quesiton often askes to guatar players, what is the worlds hardest cord.
That question has been long answered: the one where your pinky says 'snap'.
uh should be 4 quantum states instead of 4 qubits.
*note to myself: use preview funtion*
quantum entanglement != superposition
lemme see:
|linux> = kernel|1> + distro|2> + windowmanager|3> + shell|4>
So it seems to be in a superposition of 4 qubits (and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few), so: Yes it can run linux, or better: linux IS quantum computing.

Pink Floyd was soooo right.
I stand corrected. Now let's do some programming!
I don't get why this article is promoted. I mean: 'the Reiser kids are going to sue their dad'. Big deal! What's next: the Olsen Twins?
So Belgium = cat entertainment? That's pretty cool as I was afraid we were considered being the byproduct of this cat entertainment (hairballs).

Concerning the HTPC/netbook/..., check Zotac (zotac.com). Very small but surprisingly interesting mini PCs.
My thought exactly. It seems that IT is prone to the same pendulum mechanism as art, history, fashion, music,...

"So which button do I push? And can I have it with another background?"
The style of music IMO indeed is very important. I prefer to code when listening to Biosphere (Substrata) or the kick-ass soundtrack of Quake.
