Doesn't seem to work - not sure why. Perhaps you can fix by calling dlopen on the shared objects explicitly rather than linking them and relying on the linker to find the libraries at runtime. I'm not sure, not totally familiar wi

Cool idea. Can't run on the latest Ubuntu though, it seems the latest Qt in the Ubuntu repos is 5.7? $ ./doogie ./doogie: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.9' not fou

I don't think it's completely insane, but I think the parent comment overestimates the proportion of marriages that have that kind of trust. If people didn't get married without 100% trust then most people wouldn't be ma

I'm still at a loss as to what type of science there is that doesn't have data. "Data science" to me seems like a buzzword that has connotations of a field or industry starting to use science where they previously didn&#

What's wrong with pygments? I've been using it to get highlighted code as latex, html, whatever, since forever. I'm all for reinventing deficient wheels, but is there anything wrong with this? pygmentize -f png -l pytho

Hm. I'm not convinced. Right now I'm writing a thesis. It's in LaTeX, and auto compiles when a file changes. So on one monitor I've got my text editor and the PDF output. It's very nice to keep writing and get the o

Really? Huh. I would have expected a metaclass.

This unfortunately just isn't possible if you want your research to be able to be read in the future. "download?" from where? Links rot. "run?" which language, compiler, cpu architecture? Dependencies? Code bit rots

That's a TypeError though, not undefined behaviour. People are talking about different things.

I made a wrapper of cProfile and gprof2dot, which can be found here: http://bprofile.readthedocs.io so that you don't have to remember how to call gprof2dot all the time.

Globally, yes. And sure, we should care about the global more more than the poor of the developed countries. But I don't see any reason to believe so far that developed countries have solved the problem of rising inequality within thei

With ongoing discussion about the desire to remove the GIL from Python, I made this utility so that people can actually profile what proportion of the time the GIL is held in their code, because we shouldn't be arguing about making opt

This seems like a good place to spruik something I made, a Python package for profiling how much the GIL is held: https://github.com/chrisjbillington/gil_load In my experience, the GIL is not held for nearly as high a

This. Any part of my numerical code that is a bottleneck, is either already coming from scipy or numpy, or I'm going to write in Cython if possible. Rewriting in Cython is already the opimisation you would do before going to multithr
