    I understand the overall feeling but I’m not sure I understand the specific reason why you say this is making code bases more terse. Are you comparing this with the alternative of …

    Massimo this is great. LoRa client support and maybe also an Arduino LoRa Gateway it will be amazing for rolling out nodes in agriculture. These areas are often not served by exist…

    Amazing work. If you take a look at latex please consider also XeTeX for its beautiful font support. It can give a lot of satisfaction when packaging good content. Microtype is als…

    Really an amazing job. Keep feeding your curiosity, it is really worth it and try to travel a bit while explaining your project. Array processing is something that deserves a bette…

    Even this paragraph is just a general description of what could potentially be a FEM analysis and some optimisation algorithm associated with that. Interesting result on the other …

    Yes I agree with you but you are point out the existance of low weight packages while I would say that cost is a more important constraint for drones. I guess users can argue with …

    What we really miss is an ADS-B low-cost variant for drones. Safety requirements are different if ones takes into account the unmanned characteristic of drones. Furthermore it will…

    This is pure marketing-driven engineering. Not a bad thing per-se but they should start considering also a more pragmatic approach. They should pick a form-factor that can be futur…

    Yes, this is a must. I wonder if industrial greenhouses could benefit from some sort of induced day-night cycles and thermal gradients to cuddle the little plants. Maybe it will al…

    Thanks for working on this. Really a great effort. Hope your guys can get good inspiration from projects like h5df, bcolz, pytables having the option of incrementally adding featur…

    Definitely Markdown, then one can always convert back and forth other formats (e.g. using Pandoc).

    The product is sweet. Enjoyed the UI/UX. However I think the landing page needs a little bit more love (pricing, team, contacts, use case, features lists) what about importing from…

    Reason is quite simple. EPS is based on PostScript. PDF specification contains a subset of PostScript. Embedding EPS into PDF is trivial and yields high quality results. For a prin…

    For their website: mpmath internally uses Python's builtin long integers by default, but automatically switches to GMP/MPIR for much faster high-precision arithmetic if gmpy is ins…

    auto with lambdas can be quite dangerous if you are adding different types inside their bodies. Type promotion rules should be well understood. During code reviews we spotted sever…

    Working on SVG? What about EPS instead? For scientific publishing EPS is much better unless your visualisation is pretty much an high entropy one.

    How does this compare with what Google[x] has been developing in the RF gesture recognition? In the videos they are using a Leap Motion while G is "suggesting" using your fingers a…

    Well, it won't take much to have tools like Numba ( http://numba.pydata.org/ ) taking advantage of such "type info" during optimization phase. On the other hand IDEs are already ta…
