That is exactly my point. We can use fluid dynamics and PDEs in waves. We understand some properties and processes. We are nowhere as close in biological system.

I put the example of the metabolic pathways because last time checked (~2015) the most advanced things in the field were extremely simple and without any predictive power. Things like calculating the kernel of a stoichiometric matrix or the centrality of a node in the interactomic graph.

There is plenty of magic going on. Today we cannot replicate or understand how emergent properties born of biological structures. Not even in "simple" systems as the metabolic pathways.

I want more interactivity with printed terminal output. Similar to copy mode in tmux but with tools of my choice. I can type c-x e to edit input with my $EDITOR. I want at least the same power over the output, like what I have using acme.

I think wine glasses became bigger to let the wine breathe and exposing as much surface as possible to air. Same logic as wine decanters.

You should check Kogonada:

I do not think so. I changed from iterm2 to tmux (+ terminal.app/st) for two reasons:

(a) Same experience in all machines, Linux or macOS, local or remote (b) You can send keys from one terminal to another, so you can create complex interfaces with specialized windows

Out of those, I have not find any good reason to drop iterm2 for tmux locally.

I use awk every day because I need state (I work with text files full of sections and subsections) but I am sure that there has to be something better out there.

What is the definitive tool to process text? Perl? Haskell? Some Lisp dialect?

Coconut water was always very popular as soft drink in producing countries. Not waste.

Good sleep, food and sport. It is the step 0 if you want to improve your productivity.

Not OP, but 99% of the time it is faster and it feels better.

The only cases where I need the mouse are continuous interfaces (eg selecting an specific time in a video player) or restrictive and dumb webpage configurations (eg WhatsApp Web does noes not allow you to deselect the input box with the keyboard)

I use VimFX and I would recommend it. It takes 2 min to learn.

I upvoted the replies about computational cost and stability, because they raise an important point. But what I was trying to talk about (as you are) was the presentation of the idea.

Linear models are much older than computers, dating back to Gauss at least, and they do not have anything to do with gradient descent.

Also why do linear regression (OLS) models need gradient descent at all? Cannot you calculate the parameters directly?

y = X β + ε ...and a few assumptions give you... (X^t X)^-1 y = β*

I might be missing something in the blog post.

What I think it works best is following critics (professional or not) that you like and then use an aggregator (like IMDB, RT, Metacritic, etc, etc) to check what they say about a film. Algorithms can only go so far.

I use Filmaffinity, the community is fantastic. But reviews are only in Spanish.

I was unsure because the blog is two years old. Two years with a typo in the title is quite a bit.

Maybe it was some kind of subtle joke that I do not get.

"Experiements in data science"

Is the blog's title misspelled?

The default typeface is called Computer Modern but if you do not like it there are plenty of options:

Not only the store, Youtube and Scholar do not provide a good search experience either.

I wonder why.

In fact I remember that when Youtube got adquired by Google search got worse.

I am there. We learn to please our master as our ancestors taught us in our rich oral tradition.

I hope that this undocumented and fragile big codebase dies before killing the PhD of some poor guy.

Abstract algebra is an old field so plenty of good options.I would recommend Abstract Algebra by Dummit and Foote. Clear theory, great examples and good writing:

I think in 10-20 years we could see something like an European Union army. Some countries will opt-out (Ireland? Sweden? Austria?) but the main internal opposition (the UK) is not an issue anymore.

In Spain it is about 50-60%: http://www.rsme.es/comis/mujmat/estadisticas/facultades.htm

Note that the problem it is specific only to some degrees, in general women are advancing in most western countries: http://politikon.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/4.png

All these articles always say that Python has better preprocessing compared with R. Where? I find tidyverse/data.table much more elegant than pandas, scipy et al. The only thing that I like more in Python it is how it handles streams/generators.

I think it is almost impossible for a newspaper but I see successful magazines out there. They put part (or none) of their content online and sell the complete physical version.

As an example, in Spain, Jot Down. Web: http://www.jotdown.es/ and store: http://www.jotdown.es/store

Your maps are gorgeous. Would you mind to share which tileset are you using in the Helsinki map?

This is what I have noticed too. It is a way to start living in the country and then get a job (specially a entry-level job). Also to improve their fluency in the language of that particular country. UK is specially popular because they speak English.

A minority of those well educated people might get stuck, though.

It is true, actually. Lots of waiters with degrees in London. But most of them do not last much. It is a way to improve their English, try to get a job in the UK (getting to an entry-level job it is almost impossible in the South), and live in London. Note than normally do not want to stay in the UK permanently.

Also take with a grain of salt all this kind of articles. American and UK media likes to project their worldview in the political actors of continental Europe but the 20-something nations involved are varied and make the EU extremely complex.

Even if you are UK citizen you have to earn more than X pounds per year to keep your non-EU spouse with you in the country. I have met some PhD students and retired workers with this problem.

I am sure that there are more inconveniences that I have not heard about yet.

China policies are very protectionist so you cannot say if those companies would be successful in a 'open' environment. Their competition is just blocked there.
