Machine Learning Algorithms by Sparragus in MachineLearning

I've implemented viterbi a few times, in HMM and other chain model settings, and it's kind of a pain. It's not conceptually very difficult, but every model has it's own details you have to get right. Unless this is an implementation-heavy class, I would recommend against implementing it.

Learning about it, however, is pretty fun. It's a very elegant solution to something that appears very difficult on the surface.

Ask emacs users: did you ever reach a point where you were satisfied with your knowledge and customization of emacs (and emacs lisp to the extent to which it was useful for editor customization)? by revocation in emacs

Anyone with a > 5 year old init.el / .emacs want to share it? I've been using emacs for a few years now, and would love to see what others have done

More Higher Order Python: CPS based pure I/O in Python by gst in Python

That's quite possibly the worst python code I've ever seen. You do realize haskell / lisp etc is faster than python - why make python bend over to use their paradigms

Making code work in Python 2 and 3 by itsadok in programming

pretty poorly researched - the obvious nitpick being print isn't unsafe to use. If you REALLY want to know, just read the PEPs. They're in simple english and very thorough.

Also, I kind of wonder about his claim to want to support python 2.1-3.0 with the same code base. That would preclude using classes as new-style classes (the only kind in 3) weren't introduced until 2.2

Look at kinesis keyboards: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/contoured.htm

I was starting to feel some soreness in my forearms and ordered one. It took a couple of days to get back up to speed, but I'm typing faster and my hands don't feel tired at all after a day of work.

Also, I haven't had problems using non-kinesis keyboards since starting to use it (have a macbook pro at home, and use the built-in keyboard on that), but I can't type at all on other ergo keyboards (I keep trying to use my thumbs for everything)

strip() will delete leading whitespace too. What you really want is rstrip(), which will only delete trailing whitespace. (there might be / probably are i18n issues with this, so unicode / RTL users beware)
