I would start with the nano degree program if you don't have any prior knowledge of ML. Udacity has a Linear Algebra review course, but I don't believe it is public for now. I had …

I'm pretty sure they have hired at least one farmer at their Texas site. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-real-reason-spacex-is-h...

This reminds me of Wilson, Arkansas but that town sold for quite a bit more. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/20/us/arkansas-towns-new-owne...

I typically hate ranking lists like this, since I believe student completion rates are more important than enrollment. However, I did find some joy in finding a new MOOC I could ad…

I like Real World Functional Programming by Tomas Petricek if you are already doing C# development.

I don't think it's far to compare any city to New Orleans. I think everyone from the South is a little bit jealous of the culture of New Orleans. It's just a amazing place.

FAKE is awesome. The entire F# ecosystem is pretty impressive.

It will be a sad weekend in Memphis. There are no words to describe what he means to that city. We lost a legend.

I have only used F# for a couple months, but I have a decent background in ML thanks to the Dan Grossman's incredible programming languages course. https://www.coursera.org/course/…

I think the TAs/graders will start to scale. There are some amazing TAs in this program. From my experience, I think some of the best are also current students in the program. I th…

I did the same with my twin. It's quite common from my understanding.

If you are interested in some studies on HIPAA compliance, I would suggest reading the work by Dr. Annie I. Antón on requirements engineering. http://www4.ncsu.edu/~aianton/ HIPAA …

While you all are enjoying your high rents, I would like to brag about my hometown Memphis, TN. We just got some hype in the WSJ. "In a nod to the youngsters, the survey found that…

Sometimes, you want to spend your money supporting a company that supports the development of Linux. Dell and Google have a better record on this front, and the XPS 13 and the new …

I am glad they gave this model a reboot. If I was in the market for a new linux laptop, this would be a my number one choice over the XPS13 as a close second. I am glad more compan…

This reminds me of the busy beaver problem.

That must be CS6505 after the drop date. I joke, I think we had at least 200 people in that class, but there was a good amount who dropped. I am guessing you are in CS6290, or one …

I took a machine learning course last spring, and I also had the choice of language to use. I thought about Julia, but I just felt I was going to be taking on to much in a short am…

No, most ABET school's require those courses. Also, if you ever try to get your FE/EIT you will need those courses.

I am assuming he means at a undergraduate level. If you need a probability and statistics book to refresh, I can recommend "All of Statistics" by Wasserman.

I used this book in my Machine Learning course last spring at Georgia Tech. I wouldn't consider it out of date. It is missing a few topics like SVMs that we covered, but otherwise …

I disagree. I believe that the foundation you will learn in statistics, linear algebra, and other mathematics would be worth the effort to any computer scientist. You would enjoy t…
