On Chomsky and the Two Cultures of Statistical Learning
http://norvig.com/chomsky.htmlCharles Darwin (biologist, 1809–1882) "False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness." Richard Feynman (physicist, 1918–1988) wrote "Physics can progress without the proofs, but we can't go on without the facts." Ernest Rutherford (physicist, 1871–1937) "All science is either physics or stamp collecting." Chomsky "You can also collect butterflies and make many observations. If you like butterflies, that's fine; but such work must not be confounded with research, which is concerned to discover explanatory principles." Robert Millikan (physicist, 1868–18953) who said in his Nobel acceptance speech "Science walks forward on two feet, namely theory and experiment ... Sometimes it is one foot that is put forward first, sometimes the other, but continuous progress is only made by the use of both."

Python IAQ: Infrequently Answered Questions
A question is infrequently answered either because few people know the answer or because it concerns an obscure, subtle point (but a point that may be crucial to you). I thought I had invented the term for my Java IAQ, but it also shows up at the very informative About.com Urban Legends site. There are lots of Python FAQs around, but this is the only Python IAQ, except for the Chinese translation of this page by Weiyang Chen, the Russian translation by Alexander Sviridenko, and the Japanese translation by Akihiro Takizawa. (There are a few Infrequently Asked Questions lists, including a satirical one on C.)
