You must be a Richard Herring fan.

Can't seem to find a decent place for good ML discussion. /r/machinelearning is highly inactive, and the freenode IRC channel is a bit unwelcoming.

Nope, numpy needs libblas and scipy needs libatlas, both of which have to installed from the system package manager. I slap my forehead every time I move to a new system and find t…

CM7 user here. Can confirm that it is vulnerable. Easily fixed by installing a second dialer so that you'll always get a prompt. Also I can't find any info on whether cm7 supports …

Is this right? Java really has better latency than Go right now? And with 2 processors, Go's latency is 25ms for 50 concurrent requests. Anybody with better experience care to comm…

Going through the source code for that tour is also a very good way of getting familiar with the http package and a good introduction to channels.

I have been really impressed with Go's portability. I recently cross compiled a binary from a Linux machine for an ARM target and had it running from scratch in less than 15 minute…

> But you know what else is pretty good? PyDev It's not. It's really not. I've heard good things about PyCharm, but the best environment for Python that I have seen so far is Emacs…

Thank you!

As an Indian who cannot access Vimeo, this is what I see. http://i.imgur.com/ojTVQ.png May I ask for a link to the video on another service?

As someone who once worked at an IIT, money is not lacking, imagination is.

I very much understand the motivation behind it, it's just the means that is shockingly tacky and uncharacteristic. A slogan contest for the importance of the open web? Really?

Good heavens. What the hell have they done to Google?

Software freedom becomes more and more important in this world. Let's hope Google follows their policy with the Nexus line and makes room for custom firmware.

How does iOS handle multiple apps registering for the same type of URL? In Android, I get a popup asking which app I want to use for this action, and an option to make that the def…

What is that photo supposed to show? All I see is that the iPad's physical design is as much a derivative of all those that came before as the rest are derivative of the iPad's. Do…

Maybe I'm just odd, but social networks don't really bring me any value. I have a few close friends who I stay in touch with no matter where we are, and I do it on a medium that is…

It was just that these people were happy with having limits on their computers. I guess the difference in mindset is that while normal people want computers to be appliances, we wa…

Eh, I can understand the outrage the author feels. I used to be so pissed off when people were contented with their iOS devices. But I have my Nexus One, I can hack the hell out of…

Vim is better designed than Emacs for editing. Emacs is just better designed for everything else. To this day, there is no better way of scrolling text than j/k. That doesn't chang…

I agree with you on many points, but there are a few things for which I prefer to have a dedicated shortcut. Specifically, basic functionality such as copying a line. More importan…

You should look in to one of the functions listed here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyingWholeLines Not having to use 3 keystrokes in the place of one is the whole point of us…
