This is not true. Doctors do not and must not prescribe Homeopathic stuff in Germany. If it is payed for by the government/healthcare, it has to be proven effective.

Numerical computation is just one part of scientific code. Linear Algebra, data analysis, modelling, and visualization, are equally important.

Finally! I hope they start moving forward again. How about, once all the maintenance is done, - Exchange support - Native Calendar with Exchange and CalDAV support - Native Contacts with Exchange and CardDAV support (I'm currently usi

This is especially true for libraries. A minimal, simple library is much better than a sprawling, "convenient", but more complex library.

Fun fact, I wrote my own JSON reader/writer in pure MATLAB, and it is also regex-based, and in many cases, it is faster than MATLAB's own, Mex-based JSON reader/writer: https://github.com/bastibe/transpla

To be fair, MATLAB only added support for reading/writing JSON this very year. And they represent JSON objects as structs, which don't support all key names, and they have a very "idiomatic" idea of which JSON arrays are

Oh yes, so much yes. I hate ST:D. To me, ST:D entirely misses the point of Star Trek. How could they write a Star Trek series without a crew? Seriously, there hasn't been a single scene where the doctor cared for patients, the engineer

I think this was made a European rule: publicly funded research must be made available to the public (without paywalls). There is currently a huge kerfuffle going on in Germany, with most universities canceling their Elsevier subscription

F-strings are super convenient, especially for transient expressions such as debugging statements, but also for things like error messages (I often shy away from them on library code for backwards compatibility, though). I wish they were av

I use org-mode, of course. But more specifically, I wrote this little extension called org-journal [1], which auto-creates one org-file per day, is searchable, integrates with the Emacs calendar, and crucially, carries TODO items from the p

White-to-black can be done quickly and without artifacts. Black-to-white and grey-to-grey can be done quickly, but produces artifacts.

For me, I need breaks, and stimulation. Sometimes, tinkering with fonts and colors is just the right kind of distraction to get a project back on track, and to replenish my joy of coding. Honestly, I think I have about six hours of full-con

Shameless plug: org-journal automatically creates one file per day, integrates with the calendar, implements searching within date ranges, and optionally rolls over TODO items to the current day.

by Derbasti 9y ago
Better yet, try org-journal, which automates the one-file-per-day part, integrates with the calendar, and adds searching.

I have a Surface 3. It has enough memory for my web browser, but not much more. Atom is out of the question, Spotify grinds it to a halt, slack is a horrible experience. But you know what works great? Emacs, a shell, Python, video players,

Not every problem can be solved by matrix multiplication and gradient descent. Particularly, many problems require exact solutions, and not just good approximations (think aerospace or science or finance). And speaking of science particul

Think of jupyter notebooks as turbo charged Live Scripts. The document part supports proper Markdown, proper latex math, arbitrary HTML, and interactive widgets. Export options are much more comprehensive as well, including export to blogs,

I have the same problem. In time, I found notebooks to be rather useless as lab notebooks for this reason. I now use notebooks only transiently, for running a few experiments, but not as lasting documentation. Instead, I copy a summary of m

Numpy (or rather, BLAS) is running many threads in parallel. The amount of concurrency is actually configurable, and is something well worth optimizing for multiprocessing workloads.

But then you would give up Emacs's benefits if being able to reprogram everything. And you would lose the interaction with magit and org. After all, if you used nvim on Emacs, nvim would be doing the syntax highlighting and source code

Regardless of how AMD CPUs compare against Intel CPUs, we need AMD to provide competition. Personally, I greatly enjoy my 1950X, as it provides just about double the performance per dollar compared to Intel's offerings. But I can see

Yes, but why do I have to use a different key combination for moving windows between screens than for moving them within the screen? Besides, this moves the window to the same position on the other screen, as it currently is on the current
