It's only open for debate if you're being extremely pedantic. There is even an illustration demonstrating exactly what the cuts look like! Yes, if you want to be very nit-picky the question is undefined, but this is a third grade math te

I think the joke is: "There are only two hard things in Computer Science; cache invalidation, naming things and off by one errors".

I can't say exactly why it is, but I bet no one would have felt off-put if you had offered gift cards instead of cash. People in general will be much more comfortable taking a gift card than cash.

Cool article. In a similar vein, the time lapse video[1] of moving the shuttle Endeavour through LA to the California Science Center is wonderful! [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdqZyACCYZc

OP. Thanks for making debuggex! It has certainly changed the way I write regexes...I now reach for debuggex _before_ I start writing a new (non-trivial) regex. Fantastic tool. One think that I would really love is to be able to used name

" people who can't or won't move beyond that just are not likely to get much utility out of Python." You are absolutely wrong about this. Being able to use Python & Django/Flask/PyQT/wxPython/numpy/matplotlib etc in a corporate environ

All good except the adjustable wrench. These are really awful tools prone to rounding off nuts and slipping off whatever you are working on you will be much better served by real wrenches!

I have successfully deployed Django on Windows[1] systems for critical intranet apps and have at least two more Django on Windows projects in the pipes. No it is not an ideal platform but sometimes factors outside your control make it the b

Have you ever used high quality ear buds? I'm curious how they compare to either telecoil or over-the-hearing aid headphones. I have a fairly pricey (~$150) set of etymotics that I use and they sound fantastic to me (moderate/moderate-sev

I'm in Ottawa too and our daughter will often nap in her stroller at temperatures of -10C or more while we're out for a walk. I probably wouldn't specifically stick her outside for a nap but in general the cold (or indeed sleeping in the c

This seems like a really nice feature! At work I maintain an open source project but also have a private fork containing customizations just for our centre. This should make it very very easy to keep my private repo in sync with the publ

I could have easily written this comment! My favourite programming memory of all time was finally succeeding in turning the pseudo-code at the back of a book[1] that my mom had bought me into a Turbo Pascal program that would generate a Ma

FWIW I'm in Canada and logged into my amazon.com[1] account and was pleasantly surprised to see ~100 songs from cds I'd previously purchased. [1] I have both .ca and .com accounts and use the .com account much more frequently than .ca.

Anecdotal, but I seem to run into more trouble with the Citizens URLS than any other paper I can recall.

My school library used to have books full of games, text art, and programs written in BASIC that I used to type in line by line to our C64. I wish I could say I learned a lot about computer programming (I didn't) but the biggest thing I do

Thanks for posting this so I didn't have too. Poker is "a game of skill with an element of luck" and should not be confused with say, gambling on roulette or the outcome of a coin toss.

It's not illegal to play poker online. I'm not an expert in the legality/legislation of online poker but the PPA[1] is a good place to start. [1] http://theppa.org/

It does not unfortunately. You can do interactive matplotlib plotting but it doesn't behave in the same "shell + REPL" way that ipython does.

I use WingIDE's[1] professional version (which includes the editor source code) and it has the ability to highlight a section and evaluate it either in the REPL or at the current breakpoint in a debug probe. It also has decent vi and emacs

Yes. It's probably been 15 years since I read the book but that was still my first thought as soon as I read the headline.

There's an aspect that this article neglects to mention; rightly or wrongly, some scientists believe keeping your source code private can be a competitive advantage over other researchers. Unfortunately, science is an extremely competitive

Why give them a second chance at all? It is essentially a "no risk" situation for them if the only consequence for them is a slap on the wrist for a first offence.

During my undergrad I wrote some simulations of ballistic deposition that produced patterns that looked very similar to this. edit: Here's a video someone else created of a similar looking situation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-1uotbxr
