I've been learning a lot about machine learning (mostly clustering and regressions), but when I've looked into programming libraries/environments, I've found "production ready" ones to be few and far between. What I mean by "production ready" is that it could be incorperated into a product, not just used a tool …

I'd like to find an algorithm book that's either meant to be or good to use as a reference. By "reference" I mean that it contains all the basic algorithms (machine-learning algorithms especially) like QuickSort, Logistical Regression, Clustering. Preferably, including both the mathimicatical definition as well as psuedo code, or …

I love the idea of dependency injection. I started doing psuedo dependency injection on my own before I knew about DI because I was frustrated programming without it. I then discovered Guice. From a program design point of view, I like it a lot. Everything is much more decoupled and …

I'm trying to implement an algoirthm descirbed here: http://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/luur/download?func=downloadFile&recordOId=2497720&fileOId=2525546 The purpose of that algorithm is to create a concept hierarchy based on a document corpus. For instants, a "Dog" concept would be a child of the "Animal" concept in such a hierarchy. To the point, I've come accross a peice …

First, just to clear this up, I did not post this is the wrong place. I know the difference between "Java" and "Javascript" I'm working on a project where I want to allow a simple, no intense programming required, way for users to create custom functionality. This is a simplified …

I was reading through an Objective-C book at the same time I was reading a "Good Coding Preactices"/Design book and I noticed how badly designed (I Think) Cocoa is. My biggest issue is it's seemingly unpolymorphic design. For instants, like many other objects, the UIButton class's style is defined using …

I was just wondering if anyone other than me thought that it would be incredibly usefull to have a language that was both dynamic AND statically typed. **Using Java as a example, it could do the following:** **1)** Define a special dot operator that auto type casted something of type …

I'm new to JavaFx and Java GUI development in general. For those not fermiliar, it seems that JavaFx threading has some similarities to swing. Anyway, I'm a little confused about when to use a `Thread` class and when to use JavaFx's worker classes (`Task<a>` for example). Should I use JavaFx …

Ever since I started looking into JavaFx, I've been wondering about the future of desktop GUI development. A lot of platforms are using a psuedo HTML5/Javascript/CSS3 for GUI development now, incuding (I believe) Windows 8. Even JavaFx seems to do away with the idea of "drawing" the interface element. What …

I'm a Java programmer for the most part. I'm very familiar with the Python syntax, but I've never used it for big projects. When I started a larger project in python, I found myself confused about where to start in the design process. I think the biggest issue I encountered …

Though I feel like the LoD supports this decision, and the ease of use for the rest of the program, it feels like my solution violates DRY. I have a class called Timeline and a class called Cue. Timeline has wrapper methods for the Output class's methods (LoD). The timeline …

Sorry if this is the wrong place or something, but I saw a question in here on PHP vs ASP.NET, which made me think it might be. On the other hand, I also saw posts asking about people's breakfast, so I don't really know... Users are already starting to embrace …
