VSCode, Atom, Vim, Emacs, and Sublime all have very decent integration of automatic syntax checking, autocomplete (`racer`), and even auto-formatting (`rustfmt`).

Oreilly has a pre-release book that seems quite good at explaining rust from a C++ perspective. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040385.do

The hand reloading of files doesn't seem to have changed. I still have to reload my modules after every edit. I'd love someone to show me a better way if it exists.

Purescript is a Haskell-like language that is designed to output to javascript. It looks quite nice and has seen a lot of attention lately. It's even in GSoC.

There is also the mypy project ( http://mypy-lang.org/ ). They are working on a type-checked variant of python. Currently it's just a pre-processing stage, but they eventually want…

Check out git-annex (and the corresponding assistant). I haven't used it yet, but it supposedly supports S3 and glacier, and hard drives and will tell you where each file is backed…

Assuming you have matplotlib installed: using PyPlot x = linspace(0,2*pi,1000); y = sin(3*x + 4*cos(2*x)); plot(x, y, color="red", linewidth=2.0, linestyle="--") title("A sinusoida…

Can't he use Strip for the online portion of these transactions? I don't know if their customer service is any better, but at least he doesn't have to use Paypal.

Shit. I use it often to fix my Mom's computer. Gonna have to find a decent alternative.

Please do! I've been keeping an eye out for a post from you on the haskell subreddit announcing some work. I have some ideas for some numerical code in Haskell, but I keep coming b…

You still need to do your masters, "along the way". If I remember correctly, in England, first you do you masters, and then start a PhD. 2 masters + 4-5 phd = 6. Most European coun…

They run north of $2000 in Switzerland. I was ready to spend $1000 to replace the awful chairs the university provides.

This is not a compiler that does python -> llvm. It is a way to build llvm IR from python using the C++ API. Otherwise you output LLVM IR as text, and call the llvm command line to…

Go produces a statically linked compiled binary.

In short: Yes. It is the "batteries included" version of Haskell that comes with basically everything you need to write production ready software. There are obviously a lot of usef…

> I had seen this about 6 months ago but dismissed it because the programming language, Lua, looked weird and I’d never heard of it. This what surprised me most about the post. Lua…

I've had to speak often lately in front of small and medium sized groups, and the biggest thing that has helped is to just practice my talk several times alone. Obviously giving th…

So, the private key is encrypted on the client side, which requires that the user type their key-password in, so that the client can send the private key in order to authenticate? …

Can anyone comment on why password-less ssh-keys are bad? ("#11: Never ever use passphrase free key (passphrase key less) login.") I usually figure that it just generates some rand…

I was going to say this, but I would say its slightly better because the "effective" pixels are sharper -- You could probably run a text editor with a smaller font and still feel c…

> This phone has the best battery life of any I've used to this point. I come home at night with plenty of battery left. This is the singularly, most unbelievable thing I experienc…

Fortran is 1-index as well. I think MATLAB gets its notational style from Fortran.

Double precision performance is now just half speed, which is the same as the CPU. Many applications are bandwidth bound, so running in double vs. single doesn't end up with a 2x d…

> There is absolutely no reason for me to have 16GB of RAM other than to brag about the fact that I have such a ridiculous amount of memory. 16GB in a desktop really isn't that rid…

In the article he links to "Emacs Prelude". From its README: No arrow navigation in editor buffers This is not a bug - it's a feature! I firmly believe that the one true way to use…
