Sorry, but you just don't understand physics and cosmology. It's not about the "type of things that make up the universe we can see and observe" it's about ANYTHING that makes up for the universe, including dimens

It'a quite clear after you understand semi-advanced physics that nothing could exist before the universe started. Now, you could contest the Big Bang, but from the moment you assume it happened then I don't see nothing absurd in t

I know very little about FreeBDS and bhyve. But, is it possible to pass direct access to the GPU to the virtual machine this way? That way it would be possible to play the games in Windows or to use CUDA in a Linux guest inside bhyve.

I fail to see how a desktop UI based on HTML5 can be marketed as "light".

Does PyPy work with Python 3? Python 3 has been out for 7 years and I refuse to use anything that doesn't work in Python 3, it's just ridiculous to keep building stuff for Python 2, it's hindering the language and keeping it

People turned away from Explorer to Firefox because Explorer became a bloated browser, full of bugs. What did Firefox do with that market share? Created a bloated browser, full of bugs.

My thoughts exactly. Coming from Vim I really wanted to like the idea of some fully async editor with Vim ease of navigation and Emacs power packages (org mode, async repl like iPython, etc) so I found the idea of Spacemacs awesome. But in

I try to se Safari, but tab management is awful. There isn't (as far as I know and I really searched for it) any kind of session management that allows me to keep a separation between my work browsing sessions and my home/personal

There is very little to think about here. World GDP/World population is ever increasing. As such it should be obvious that sons have a better life than parents except in the presence of: 1- local conflict or 2- in the presence of a cla

The moment, licit activities move money to illicit activities, they get targeted as illicit activities themselves. So, yeah, money laundering needs to work both ways.

All nice and dandy in theory, clearly disproven by practice. Heath costs and medicine costs in Europe and Canada are lower than in the USA.

Finance prediction is just a game of pure chance, a random walk. Thing is, the game is rigged and when the big players loose, we all pay the bill.

Like I said. I was mixing Perl's and Python philosophy. It's strange I know. I work in Python almost every day and I've never touched Perl code. At least, I guess I'll have a silver lining at cracking my head in vectoriz

My bad... I sometimes mix Perl and Python philosophy.

I actually, more and more think that python is an excellent language for science. The only issue is that, when it comes to numerical computation, there is only "one right way to do it", which goes against Python philosophy. Meanin

I believe is just a question of mentality. Programers, being traditionally more closely related with the new technologies and the internet, soon saw open source projects as a way to improve their skills and promote themselves at the same ti

I don't really get the point of this article. The author claims that HTML is ready to replace TeX and then proceeds in presenting us 2 examples, and those two examples look great in TeX and awful in HTML.

Actually the break of price parity between China and Western exchanges is historically very bad news for bitcoin. It will mark China as purely speculative and will break ties with the only force that was keeping the price at the 300 USD lev

This is a nice work method. But my biggest grip with it is that I use the GPU for CUDA calculations. At least in OSX it's not possible to directly access the GPU trough a VM (in Vagrant or any other way), while in Linux it's possi

Strangely my workflow is in a place where most of my graphic programs also exist on Windows (Lightroom mostly, everything else is easily changeable). It's my terminal workflow that I can only use on a Mac/Linux. Zsh, Vim, Tmux, La

Well, for scientists wanting to publish, GGplot it's quite unpractical. Most of the time we have to publish in B&W magazines and GGPlot simply lacks the capabilities to do so properly (por instance B&W filling patterns). Matplo

Thank you both, there are very good news. I'll give it a try as soon as 0.4 is launched.

Is there any progress when it comes to the slow package loading times of Julia? That made it quite unusable as a data exploration language when I last tried it about 1 year ago, but perhaps there was progress in that regard.

I wonder if I'm entitled for a compensation. Perhaps starting a class action lawsuit against TSA would be the way to go.

I'm an astrophysicist, we don't really trust p-values. But it could be handy in some other areas.

I see, thanks. I my own code I suspect that it's the for loops I can't vectorise that are making R taking so long in some operations, so this is where this project would help. Must give it a try then.
