FWIW, we certainly can make synchronized tandem lifts, but as always it comes down to costs. Basically if you want both actuators to move in unison, you either need to directly link them mechanically, which is expensive to build/repair

I don't know about you, but I commonly have a lot more stuff on my desk than would fit on that thing. I don't work with keyboard+mouse+monitor, but even with just that it would be cramped. Maybe if you just use a laptop.

This is true, and after much frustration I did finally deduce the intended behavior. However, it still isn't quite consistent (or rather, wasn't the last time I worked on a mac, circa 2008) and still seems to be lacking in functio

Both of you guys seem to have missed GP say: "You either have to know the keyboard shortcut, or you have to go to the Go menu." As in, yes you can go up a level, but not in the way that many expect, and/or not without switc

I had this thought was well. As as physics major and an EE major, it's a (somewhat humorously) terrifying concept, at some level. Now this has more or less been discussed to death in the threads above and below, but while I don't

Looks like I'm a little late for this comment party, but I'd just like to highlight one comment from the Forbes website that I thought was good: "In general I agree with McCoy in his ad-hoc debate with Gen Alexander as well a

Yeah, I have to agree. My github account is pretty barren, mostly because the lion share of my work is done professionally on private repos simply sitting on a server behind a firewall. In fact, you'd be amazed at how much code in the

Perhaps you're correct, but I would say this article is the author explaining his criteria, and asserting that it might be useful for some other people, on both sides of the line. Given that, I suspect that in one, two, five hundred

Yeah, your point of view pretty much sums up how I always put it. 1. Competition is good ! Don't act like there should be only one good option, or you might end up with just that. 2. I really don't like apple as a company, but th

Well, matlab--ahem, matrix lab--does certain bits of math quite well. But I would say that R/numpy are most than just 'getting better'. They literally do every thing you just mentioned, and typically their implementations g

That is one point of view. Another is that the entire scientific community is entitled to peer review your work, and you should enable them to. Not just your referees, who will likely not compile and test your code, anyhow. The concept may

Are you in CS, by chance? ;-) I think the frequency of people who can even comprehend haskell drops off significantly once you walk over to the chemistry building. That said, I'm not against a uniform environment; there are definitely

I'm curious... is the matlabbing that happens at your work related to the simulink/realtime/control parts of matlab? Based on the other things you've said it sounds to me like that might be the case. Obviously I might be

Okay, I'll bite on this one. I used matlab quite extensively (for years) in the medical imaging field, as well as other miscellaneous engineering (read: electronics, modeling, FEA. Not web apps) disciplines. I noticed several things ab

F# is a pretty nice language, but you are indeed still in Microsoft land. That said, mono has gotten pretty good over the years. As far as data processing goes, I've seen both scala get some attention in the data game, because you can

Sorry for the delay. I agree. If a powerful government wants to get something, it generally will get it. However, I think there are a couple of small differences here: 1. This venture is backed by a private fibre network. This means that

That may be true, but the broken system is the government, not Google. Google appears (being the operative word...) to simply be doing what they can in the current system. However, I think you somewhat sidestepped hannibal's point. My

I hear a lot of people talk about needing more than 10yr of data for backtesting, and this is something that is often overlooked. The driving forces behind market data are unobserved and extremely complex, so you simply can't control f

Well Lastpass was just an example. With enough effort any service can be hacked, but if the bar is high enough it means it's more likely that the US gov can't/won't do it en masse. I would note that Lastpass allows you t
