Is there any charting library which supports fetching data from server as the chart is horizontally scrolled? I want to chart some historical data that spans over years.
I am in a fix after seeing Coursera's list of classes as to whether to take the automata class or the compiler one? Any opinions on this? I have not done both at university level as I am a self taught programmer.
Any opinion on Udacity's compiler classes versus Coursera's? There is a gap of one week between them, so we can try both and choose the one that suits us, but still, any gut feel?
I'm not experienced much on implementation differences between compilers and interpreters, but Coursera seems like a compilers course versus Udacity's interpreter.
I personally much prefer Udacity's format--short videos (30 seconds to ~7 minutes) with a question after most of them, and then an explanation video. The Coursera courses I've seen have 15 minute videos/1 question, so I don't find myself retaining the material as well.
Moreover, Udacity (atleast for CS373) asks programming questions as quizzes, so you have more exposure to the programming rather than just the theory.
I don't know if this will be as bad for a compilers class, but CS373 definitely let a lot of the math be magic versus Coursera's Machine Learning class.
I feel like Udacity's compiler class would be more practical and more entry level as compared to Coursera. Its target audience are the people who finished the recently concluded CS101 course. Coursera's version would be more theoretical, thorough and closer to a Stanford level undergraduate class. Coursera's version has midterms as well exams. So I feel like it would be around 10 weeks long as compared to 7 weeks for Udacity.
Like you I plan to try both of them and ideally finish both of them. I am also waiting on them to announce a part 2 of the Data Structure and Algorithm class.
I don't think they are both compilers classes. At many universities there's an undergrad class with "programming languages" in the name (principles of ..., paradigms of ..., etc). Compilers is often a separate, more advanced class, perhaps with the PL class as a prereq. Based on the syllabi the two classes seem to follow this tradition, with the Udacity class being the PL class and Coursera the compilers one.
EngineYard was doing uber expensive fully managed rails hosting at the time Heroku go started. Wasn't till over a year after Heroku launched that EY launched their alternative (Solo->Cloud->??). Pretty good tools, but fairly different than Heroku. They focus on managing EC2 instances instead of Heroku's "Dynos" (small abstracted chunks of easily scalable server resources).
To me EY seems like a much better version of Linode + install scripts that are targeted to Ruby users. Heroku seems to me more like Google's AppEngine, except much more expensive and without the autoscaling.
If I remember correctly they had a cap of 30 seconds even for processing requests. Has this cap also been removed or it is only the cap on the task api that has been removed?
I guess he is more concerned with the way Swastika is interpreted in the western world. It is sort of synonymous with white supremacist groups. And the contrarian mentality that he explains is very apparent in reddit. In reddit, I see people just jump on anything that has to do with US/White/Christianity/Israel but go to extreme hilarious lengths to defend obviously radical practices/ideas associated with other cultures.
Ps:I am from India and I very well know the religious significance of Swastika.
reference updates are atomic, but without volatile (or more heavyweight synchronization) there may be an arbitrary delay before the change is visible to other threads.
