Echo this, they went out of their way to come through for us in an emergency. Fantastic service.

Vice is a fairly compelling case. They started with trashy "Do"s and "Don't"s, and now have reporters embedded within ISIS.

Enough to get by! I worked on this throughout university, and now at my startup. I was slightly blasé however! The corpus is tiny (173 episodes: http://www.chakoteya.net/ds9/episod…

I see, apologies! I thought you had pulled in all episodes with a score > 7. I wonder how easily arcs can be identified. I'll try running the transcripts through a topic model this…

I like the idea, however I'd disagree with the heuristic used. DS9 was really the first Star Trek series to introduce story arcs, and as such, skipping the wrong episodes leads to …

Streak ( http://www.streak.com/ ) has been a good start for us. Upsides are that it's flexible enough to match most pipeline progressions, exports to CSV, supports mail merge, and …

Right now no. We use intuition to extract these. We're taking notes though!

Hi sarreph. We hope to delight by understanding what each individual likes. From out initial testing, we've found that our first article is a pretty good starting point for tech "p…

Hey I'm one of the creators of Delight. We're using Twitter as a starting point. We hope to work out what makes you tick, but ultimately that will only come from a conversation wit…

This highlights how "good" programmers are simply those who are most able to think like a computer. The article's language further reinforces this (perhaps intentionally), e.g. the…

You'll never reduce Ruby to a pure grammar, there are too many ambiguous cases - my point was simply that it covers a subset which incorporates almost all common idioms. As far as …

I came across this issue when looking to build a stripped down Ruby interpreter in JS last summer. A few attempts have been made at defining its grammar, though with each new versi…

Thanks for the blog post, I hadn't seen that before. As I said before, these things are subjective. In my opinion, the prototype model is too far removed from the classical object …

The first language decision is always a tough one. Having spent the past few months teaching programming to school children part time, I found that you're often weighing up a numbe…
