No this is not correct. Their bodies will not be radioactive (unless they ingested the cobalt!) after getting dosed by this source. People get irradiated by similar sources of radiation everyday for cancer therapies without becoming radioa

Thanks. That is a really cool diagram! I had no idea that it varied so much over time.

Understood but I was addressing whether 'pure Python' is a selling feature which it undeniably is. edit: I don't mean to say that it is a selling feature for everyone (i.e. people who aren't already using Python) but for

Pure Python is definitely a selling point for those of us who regularly deploy to multiple platforms. Knowing you can 'pip install pure-python-lib' on any platform and have it work every single time without regards to what c comp

I use pydicom[1] quite a lot. It is an open source, pure Python module for reading & writing DICOM files. Works very well by essentially transforming the whole DICOM file into a big dictionary. [1] https://code.google.com&#x

This is addressed directly in the article. "We're currently running a very limited, US-only test, in which advertisers can include an image as part of the search ads that show in response to certain branded queries."

"Improvements have been made to better support users who prefer a mouse and keyboard experience to access applications." That's pretty strange wording and makes it sound like desktop users are an afterthought compared to mobi

As a counterpoint, an article[1] posted elsewhere in this thread makes it seem like the weight is not as big a deal as it seems due to how centralized it is. Interesting and I guess I will have to reserve judgement until I can ride one :)

It's 540lbs which is way to heavy to be considered a superbike [1]. For reference -- unlike Mission who presumably are hiding the weight on purpose -- Suzuki lists their stock GSX1000R as 450lbs wet on its spec page[2]. [1] http:&#x2F

I am always a little bit flabbergasted by the developer salary numbers that get thrown around on HN but I think that the cost of living in NY & SF may skew the numbers higher than they are in the rest of the world. edit: I am Canadian f

Yeah, both wx & QT applications in Python look exactly like their C/C++ counterparts for the most part.

I agree that it should be post tax, but nobody uses post-tax figures when stating how much money they make so it's often not clear which "15% of income" they are referring to.

by randlet 13y ago
As a side note, when people say "percentage of your salary" are they referring to pre or post tax? This is never clear to me and I wish people would state it explicitly.

Nice to see DataTables on HN, thanks for creating a great library! Just FYI, your library is being used clinically every day in a number of cancer centres in Canada as part of the open source QA tool for radiation therapy clinics that I wro

It won't account for the whole 30-40% but some people work on weekends. I work at a hospital where there are probably thousands of people using IE8 every weekend.

Probably easier to just treat it like a stop sign rather than actually getting out of your car if there's no other traffic.

Yup. I upgraded to a Nexus 4 from a Nexus S recently and the Nexus 4 is a much nicer device and the Android experience is great: fast, smooth & pretty. It has to be hands down the best value smartphone on the market at this price (it

Woohoo! Hadn't heard of you guys until today but excited to give SimpleTax a try. I've already filed 2012 taxes but I've added a link in my 2013 taxes folder and will give you a shot next year. Pay what you want is an intere

I run a couple of medium sized intranet projects with Django on Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2008. Not ideal but if you want to use Django, it's sometimes a necessity in corporate MS only environments.

This ignores the (likely) huge cost of personnel and software required to manage it all.

.vimrc isn't available to me right now, but off the top of my head the ones I use the most are CtrlP, Flake8, supertab, jedi-vim, surround, UltiSnips and solarized color scheme.

My personal favourite IDE for Python is WingIDE...the introspection, code completion and debugger are very impressive (step through Django templates in the debugger!). I recently switched to editing in VIM and using jedi-vim & a few oth

Anybody talking about how this problem is ambiguous or under-specified are of course technically correct. By making that claim though, you are ignoring the context of the problem! This is a 3rd grade math test that even includes an illust
