Formidable argument.

This line of thought seems to rely on existence and verified existence being co-extensional (if not equivalent). Perhaps Kurt Gödel showed us otherwise.

It's an excellent list. A little amusing as Dennett's own debating style is a touch more robust than this might suggest. Though in all fairness, if it's him vs. another philosopher…

To expand on the free point - it's not just that SAS and SPSS have a price tag. You're then supposed to pay for a load of bolt-on modules. The extreme case is if you want to do dec…

Agree entirely. Academics led and industry followed.

SAS a bit, but as another comment notes, nothing like CRAN. SPSS not at all, at best you could publish some sort of script.

Yup, my first thought too. Though presumably different roots - player and pliers. There's also another stringr (crowdsourced video content platform) and caret (text editing for Chr…

That could make for an interesting filter bubble

I've found Evernote's web clipper to be a good replacement for that same process.

'Big learning'

Gorgeous. I'll throw in mentions for two more, both in London - Peckham Library and the Reading Room at the British Museum.

I remember my German teacher struggling to get the class to remember Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (admittedly two words). So she taught us Vierwaldstätterseedampfschiffgesellschaftska…

Lovely piece of work.

So, doing things that don't scales?

'Au contraire, mon ami, it is you and your programs that suck' retorted some languages. Though in fairness I think there was as much comic hyperbole as grating condescension.

It looks like they released it yesterday

I suspect he is the presenter. But agree totally - the tone of the talk works 100% better.

Agree entirely, an excellent read. Fiercely imaginative blend of sci-fi, religion, time travel, horror, Keats & Chaucer.

Very nice indeed. My team do statistical work, usually delivered in Excel, and we're going to be focused on automation / productivity quite heavily in the next few months. I need t…

Great read

Nice. Reading about an exit intent algorithm - and then a bit later triggering one - made me smile.

Leaving the gratuitous sexism to one side briefly - a Black Tie Rave... 'champagne and caviar paired with glowsticks'... I ask you. And from the city that gave the world house musi…
