Who uses their arrows for gaming?

Left-handed people?

Edit: not really. I did some research and it appears they use IJKL because it's easier to reach SPACE bar with the right thumb.

When I did it, I always had an external keyboard and used the numpad.

It was kind of a joke. But w/e

Clearly the author has never been to the Netherlands.

This is a very clear explanation. I immediately recognize this many aspects. Thanks for that!

Looks like a preonic. Nice work. :) I couldn't type on a ortholinear keyboard at all... Switched back to a happy hacking :)

Indeed. We've experienced the same. Cuz, you don't need emails to stay valid right?

Stupid Mandrill. I would advise anyone never to do any business with Mailchimp or Mandrill anymore.

The article mentions that it creates protest among Taxi drivers. What it not mentions that Uberpop drivers got assaulted by those taxi drivers. =|

I use a mechanical keyboard. And I have used it for a couple of years.

With rubberdome or ergonomic keyboards I always had problems with finger strain. The tactile feel of the keyboard allows you to use both short and long actions on the keys so that you don't get that strain.

However, they make a lot of noise and now I can't use it at work. ;(

Brown switches with an o-ring mod are only slightly louder than, some, membrane keyboards. Also, if you practice typing without bottoming out the keys no one will notice although it's very difficult to get used to. If you take it slow for a while though you'll be able to retrain your fingers. I have no proof but I've read that it's also better for you.

Are you using black/red switches?

We are currently using this book for a course at the Leiden institute for advanced computer science. It's pretty up to date.

It covers LSH, cosine similarity, Jaccard similarity as well as recommender systems applicable to the Netflix challenge and so forth.

I am a student highly interested in data mining, do you think that book would be a good start? What prerequisites do you think it needs?

It's a good book and the entry-level is not that high. However, you probably want to have some kind of basis in maths(algebra and stuff). Also you want to know some of the datamining terminology. But, it's free and open, so check it out. Also; the slides are very helpful.
