Even if we don't consider the difference in data structures here, they use wildly different algorithms. Numpy does all the matrix calculations by outsourcing it to BLAS[1] routines that are a mix of C/Assembly, just like the answers detail.

Why is there so much content on Haskell coming out of Microsoft Research? I've seen multiple Haskell papers out of them and I think they're the initial developers on cloud haskell as well? Does MS have any technology related to Haskell at a

I've always found old-style letterpress businesscards beautiful (actually letterpress print in general), but it seems hard to find. Does anyone know a good place for letterpress businesscards?

I'm not really familiar with what an application server is (even less what makes it enterprise-grade). What is the typical use-case for this or TorqueBox?

There are three things I find annoying by this game. I shouldn't be driving a car if I don't have money for it. I should sell the car and always take bus, since later in the game it says I have that option. I had to choose if I should stay

If this could become the centralized way to handle packages for Sublime Text like npm has become for Node I think it would be a big step forwards towards Sublime Text replacing TextMate. Maybe I've just not kept up to date with what goes on

I'm not sure what the point of living off the coast of SF is if you can't go in to land now and then. The whole point of being in SF is the networking possibilities, not some magical sphere of influence that surrounds the area. If you still

I agree with you on everything except that he should skip college. This would land him a salaried job at a lot of places, but if he's truly interested in computer design he would probably want to work at IBM/Intel/AMD research departments a

As jasongullickson said, a reasonable price. But I think the question is really strange. It's like asking "What is the Porsche sedan lacking that the Volvo sedan provides?" They're for different people. Photoshop in my mind is for professio

I've had this exact experience as well. Where everything turned out perfect, I coded, went home and went to sleep and woke up with a perfect solution and got going _right_ away. More often than not though, this method has left me lying in b

I'm more interested in ad-spam than this kind of botnet fraud spam. For instance, if I built a twitter bot replying to anyone saying "iPad" with a link, then the page at the end of that link was absolutely filled with ads. How much money wo

There's a bug on the front page. First the mentions said 0, then I tried mentioning it and now it print out JSON. ( http://i.imgur.com/zRC3i.png ) Otherwise it looks really nice. What metric services do you plan to integrate with?

But what do you do when you want a question answered that you can't google? Isn't that the idea that all the Q&A sites stem from? I feel roughly the same as you. But I have actually asked questions both at StackExchange sites and Quora

It started very factual and nice and then in Part 2 it went into a very extreme conspiracy theory explanation. But while I am inherently skeptic to conspiracy theories; I've heard this one so many times. It's actually quite believable. If i
