Does anyone have advice for learning this kind of "intuitive, heuristic, holistic way of grokking circuits"?

Installing python libraries and programs through pip is pretty standard.

No. It's disputed, but Neanderthals almost definitely died out before the human migration to North America.

You'll really need to be able to use Monad and monad transfromers before you'll be able to use an idiomatic Haskell library, though. There is "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours"[1]. [1]: http://en.wikibooks.

I don't think pattern matching is necessary for ADTs. It's useful, but you could have e.g. > if MyType.ConstructorA(a): > ... > elif MyType.ConstructorB(a): > ... or even something like > with MyType.Constru

I took that as a statement of fact (akin to "Chick-fil-a faced a public relations disaster ...") rather than a value judgement.

I wonder if a possible solution here is to distribute a Makefile or something that extracts the assets (sprites, music) from a ROM. I think this would make hosting a live version somewhat dubious, but the code should always be able to be di

The similar software was called Gordon, and was for Flash. :)

You'd rather maintain a complete homespun project than maintain a fork of an existing one?

One way to think about text encoding is that it provides a nice way to represent indexes into a big array of glyphs: "unicode". Fonts map (some) of these indexes to graphic representations and provide "font hinting" -- c

I'm not really sure what to make of this response. > The Bayesian says, "Uncertainty exists in the map, not in the territory. In the real world, the coin has either come up heads, or come up tails. Any talk of 'probabili

Casting QM as a complex-valued probability space is how it's usually done.

Presumably you yourself have an unlimited license? ;)

I don't think there are very many quantum effects working on coin tosses. It seems (to my relatively inexperienced eyes) like something handled pretty adequately by classical mechanics.

If you all aren't familiar with Mario Party, here's what they're talking about: for a number of applications like turn order and movement distance, a Mario-style block that looks like a rolling die appears over your character

Illinois has IPass. IPass definitely works at tolls taking EZPass; I don't know if the reverse is true.

It even works in the midwest! I drove to upstate New York from Chicago without paying a single old-fashioned toll a few years ago.

That's an interesting interpretation, but I assumed they were referring to the temperature difference.

I'm not sure an IP whitelist gives you anything -- it provides a handy mechanism for escalating privileges, both for intrusions on a machine at the "known-good" IP and for unintended network access in general.

A monitor typically has a _maximum_ resolution.

Restricting SSH to "known-good" IP addresses is less flexible and less secure than public key authentication. (Restricting mysql access to localhost and using an SSH tunnel is fine practice, AFAIK.)

Don't you realize there's a catch-22 here? Women are expected to be well-dressed, made up, and smiling and at the same time people like you criticize women for vanity.

We should stop linking to Softpedia. It's a spammy site that mirrors tons of software projects (e.g., most if not all new releases on PyPI) unofficially in order to serve ads.

It's sort of misleading to present this without the racist drivel that surrounds it.

It /would/ have been less unsavory if he were talking about his boyfriend, though; women are exposed to violence (especially in relationships) in a way and at a scale that men just aren't. The way this is presented -- of &#x2

Jesus, the casual misogyny in this article is staggering.
