"You have to do basic science on your libraries to see how they work, trying out different inputs and seeing how the code reacts." Is this not an atrocity, to be fought to the last bullet?" I think it's an acceptance of reality. There is a

(define (deriv f) (define (f-prime x) (/ (- (f (+ x dx)) (f x)) dx)) f-prime) jeez, I wish it was easy to do that in Python. Python's main limitation, IMSHO, is lack of homoiconicity. Yes, I sa

"You also might have better luck running dynamics simulations with PhysX than with ODE." I worked on the simulator at Anybots, and I'm pretty much convinced a different physics engine isn't going to magically make things better (in terms of

"I don't know Paul Graham, but I know he doesn't talk the way he writes. For one thing, one can point to examples (like the interview in Founders At Work). For another, nobody talks like that." heh lol

Who cares if your clock slows down say 20% by 50? Think how easy it is to optimize any program by 20%. It's irrelevant. Much more important is what software you're running. Like other posters here, I struggled with things in my 'prime'

The main problem with psyco is lack of 64-bit support. While a new psyco would be nice, what really would make sense is a boost-like tophat on rpython so you can drop into it and compile your performance-critical routines. Today people do

After the first, it gets easier. If it's 3 or more, call it a layoff, which sounds better. Be respectful, but don't get into a debate. I disagree with the article's recommendation to outline all the reasons you're letting someone go. I

work on your resume dude, and start going to lots of parties. Or just suck it up and make yourself as useful and unobtrusive as possible (times be rough out there). The CEO wants to sideline you; you're not his guy. He needs someone mall

hmm... you've been listening to Donny Deutch and Bill Maher, and you still don't know what's going on? Obviously, the problem is you didn't pay enough attention to Suzy Orman.

Reminds me of a russian proverb my co-founder attributed to his great-uncle: "The first time you get hit by a train, it really hurts. The second time, it still hurts. By the third time, you start to get used to it."

I agree. I knew Jason back in the day, and frankly, he was a bit of a dipshit. he was hot and trendy, and knew it and played it. It sounds like he's grown up a bit. Maybe we all have (group hug?)

What the GOP needs to do is punt the social conservatives out of their party and take the middle to form a coalition. Bring back truly 'conservative' values such as self reliance, personal accountability etc., but also acknowledge that soc

My impression has always been that Google has a "systemic hiring problem", as well as some deep organizational problems that make it very hard to get true productivity out of their workforce. 18 hour days are the last resort of bad manager

unfortunately, Psyco hasn't been ported to 64-bit. The web page says something about working with pypy. The idea of a Python-like statically typed language is good.

I learned DCT's without a good math background, so it can be done. I looked at sample code, and compared it to the equations. Eventually it started to make sense. I used Excel to work it all out graphically. Maybe I should post those sp
