As someone who stepped up from an engineer to a leader, I've been struggling with this talking-in-2-roles problem. Thank you very much for bringing this up.

As good as Google is, I'm glad we have alternatives to choose from. Bing is actually pretty good in China where Google is not available.

If they ever add support for AMD GPU in this ML lib, I will seriously consider buying the next-gen Mac Pro.

I'm impressed

Very interesting. What do you think about CockroachDB (https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach)? Is that serious enough to the challenge, from outside Google?

not gonna work well without Nvidia card(s!)

I disagree as well. I took the ML course a long time ago and now I can't remember anything about Octave but still remember those key ideas and algorithms taught in the course. That's the point.

My experience exactly. Every time people told me it's getting better I downloaded and just felt differently...to the point I'm too tired to try it anymore.

LOL

Stitch Fix also does that, at least in the data science team.

I don't use data pipeline anymore, but 2 years ago when I was using it in my previous company there were a few moments that drove me nuts. I vaguely remember one day AWS upgraded data pipeline to a newer version and broke hundreds of our pipelines that write data to Redshift. We contacted AWS and they rolled that update back...

Same here. I'm gonna lose a few days of sleep thanks to the author.

Examples crashed the WebGL component in Chrome 54...

I thank Coursera for everything they've done to me. It's totally life changing. Without it I wouldn't be at where I am, wouldn't have chance to learn these great courses from top universities and as a result, got a dream job.

I don't mind paying a small fee (still much cheaper than going to any other school) seriously. I understand that's not the topic people are arguing about here, but anyway.

I did that and it was super fun

Sad but true

would like to see some benchmark vs Redshift, though the latter is a blackbox

The very first things came into my mind when I saw the title were MS ergonomic mouse and keyboard, then xbox the second.

That tool is good but the problem of Python 2 -> 3 wasn't just syntax incompatibility, but API changes that made many libraries hard to migrate until recent.

Although I'm amazed at the thermal core design, it still looks like a litter bin somehow.

I'm glad I replaced my comfortable Herman Miller chair with a very cheap ball chair which encourages active sitting

A lot of people blame Lisp for too many brackets, but I generally feel they are not the issue after reading Lisp for a while. What may make it scientist-unfriendly is to write math formulas in infix grammar.

R does have quite a bit of financial libraries, yet I don't remember R has any good support on parallel computing, hmm?
