Does using tensors for storage yield some benefit over the 'panels' metaphor that Python Pandas affords? It seems like the real power of tensors is in the calculus that can be run over them, rather than just them by themselves. If

So funny that the KSP site hijacks scrolling, but no comments here, while another space-related article on the first page right now is getting a mess o' hate about the hijacking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=944

I thought it was abrupt and reaching. It felt like the author has this tidbit about Carter laying around that he'd been holding on to, but wasn't sure where to use it. He thought it could maybe fit here, but it just was jarring. N

I could be doing something wrong; I'm open to the possibility. And yet... `psycopg2` is a pip package that won't install without system dependencies. Yes, I use Ansible and the system dependencies are managed. But, out of the box,

This is an interesting comment, thank you for the perspective. I think you mean 'facade' where you wrote 'fasard'? I don't want to assume, though -- it might be a word I don't recognize, or transliteration -- h

Which virtualenv's, regrettably, depend on OS-level packages. so when you go to deploy your app to production, you find you installed some system dependency long ago and promptly forgot about it. The real world is messy.

I was excited about the link when I thought it was from NASA.gov It makes some sense at least that NASA would be involved in SELinux, no?

That's really fun to watch. Thanks for the link!

The HR screen was a bit off. I applied as a Python developer and was given a purely C memory-leak multiple-choice quiz. Sort of annoying, considering I told the recruiter explicitly that I don't know C. EDIT: My broader qualm is this.

I don't know. It works for RC helicopters of 500 size or so. I haven't seen autorotation performed with multicopters, though, so not sure how it maps to this application. I'm guessing these are fixed-blade machines. RC heli&#

There's also autorotation, which means you need very little power for a controlled descent (still need some power to steer). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorotation

Thank you. I searched to see if his article had been mentioned, and glad to find you did. The link he gives to Ted Neward's post is gone, but I found it in the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/201412052

Awesome. That's such a straight-forward solution to one of the crappy edge-cases that SQL is so bad about (ending lists without commas, like JSON requires too, being another).

This is really on-point. You echo a lot of how I think about interviewing: always tell the truth, but highlight pieces of the truth to craft the narrative you want. Be fallible. Don't speculate, and pay close attention to whether a lin

I second Xubuntu. Out of the box, it works great, looks good, and Ubuntu has very good hardware support these days (trackpads with multi-finger scrolling works, for instance). Kubuntu is ok, but sometimes terribly laggy (like when logging i

Absolutely. Arguably, that's the main point of the code review -- you're sharing responsibility. If your team scape-goats, it's not going to be a team for very long.

I don't know. I think the main problem with the parent idea is '...and lose'. Perhaps they should be sued (presumably as a class-action), but whether or not they lose is TBD. The parent wants them to be sued only so that the

Along with using Tmux as your login shell [1], this would be a nice equivalent to something like Conky [2]. Or, replacing `top` with sparklines, say. [1]: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=935588#p935588 [2]: htt
