"SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. If you need to manipulate numbers on a computer and display or publish the results, give SciPy a try!"

Essential tools that I used time and time again to translate equations and come to results during my courses in Media and Knowledge Engineering: matrix algebra, signal processing, data mining, statistics. I lose count of how often I have used these tools.

How am I doing with that? Well, 11 months doesn’t undo nearly 35 years of living for it…I still have a long way to go. And my participation online - blogging, tweeting, flickr-ing, etc. - makes for feeding the external validation junky in me. And really, it does feel good to get a nice comment or an email from someone saying that you’ve said... - http://www.horsepigcow.com/2008...

hmm interesting. I have a tendency to not feel good at all when I receive compliments. It usually makes me uncomfortable, and I have this feeling that I do not deserve it. About shaping your thoughts because of external validation… isn't it what is called "Society and social relationship"?

is there any identica search like the old summize? It seems to me that the build in identica search only searches profiles and not conversations, or?
Aaron Myers, Czar, Anthony Farrior and Edd Dumbill liked this
Or, use the 'Text' tab in the search. Could be more obvious, I agree

IMO Identi.ca's search needs to default to Text

thanks Andy C, tweetscan does look pretty cool - exactly what I was looking for
- Peter Efland
Or change the 'Text' tab to 'Content' or something that indicates it's searching the msg. Any suggestions for a similar Plurk search?

If you're going to do an API please use XML.
John μller, Alan Le, AJ Batac and 10 other people liked this
Interesting why only XML for the API ?
- Peter Dawson
No more JSON?
- Jim McCusker
I agree; JSON is barely human readable.
- Roger Jennings
But on huge sites, JSON may make sense from a price & performance perspective.
- Jim McCusker
why use xml? and more generally what type of API?
- Rob Diana
How 'bout you provide options so developers can use what's appropriate for their application?
- Ken Sheppardson
If you are doing an API that will be accessed from a browser use JSON. XML is the wrong answer. But most people ought to just offer both. It is trivial to offer your API in several formats.
- Sam Pullara
XML isn't supposed to read by humans, it's supposed to read y machines. But I like Same Pullara's point. Returning data in various types isn't that difficult.
- Chris Jones
XML is more generic, but really its only presentation - make it as easy as possible for people to use by offering the output it in multiple formats (RSS, XML, ATOM,...).
- martin english
JSON please. But really it's pretty trivial to do both
- Benjamin Golub
from fftogo
agreed. XML is universal and has things like XSL, XSLT, XPath, XQuery that you can use with it. JSON has no such ecosystem, just a quick and dirty way to parse a string. XML is more than a string. Plus, JSON has no way to validate it, as far as I remember.
- Eric Marden
I like JSON better. It's faster and easier to parse IMO.
- Winston Teo
If you intend your API to be consumed by a browser then please provide it in JSON. Its just so much easier and faster than having to parse XML. And JSON being barely human readable? Um, isn't that why we have computers now? And wow, do I remember the fuss that was made over XML back in the early 90's how that wasn't human readable. We got computers to read it for us as well.
- Troy Forster
from feedalizr
I disagree. Libraries like simplejson for Python are what made writing my django-friendly (friendfeed app) so easy. I didn't have to muck around with all the nastiness that comes with XML. I just want to get a data dump, throw it into a method like simplejson.loads() and get out a python data structure. It's always been exceedingly difficult with XML.
- Clint Ecker
why is it so hard to support both?
- Jesse McPherson
As several people have pointed out the best ideal is support multiple formats. JSON works best if your API is being consumed by a browser or similar platform where javascript is the language. If you're building a desktop app in something like .NET then the native tools to de/serialize XML are fantastic. RSS and Atom are XML with specific DTDs and there are tons of libraries optimized for these formats.

I don't get it. There are already rules and Congressman Culberson apparently doesn't know what they are. Also, Twitter is not mentioned on the page 2 that he apparently insists on misquoting.
