VSCode, Atom, Vim, Emacs, and Sublime all have very decent integration of automatic syntax checking, autocomplete (`racer`), and even auto-formatting (`rustfmt`).

Oreilly has a pre-release book that seems quite good at explaining rust from a C++ perspective. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040385.do

The hand reloading of files doesn't seem to have changed. I still have to reload my modules after every edit. I'd love someone to show me a better way if it exists.

Purescript is a Haskell-like language that is designed to output to javascript. It looks quite nice and has seen a lot of attention lately. It's even in GSoC.

There is also the mypy project ( http://mypy-lang.org/ ). They are working on a type-checked variant of python. Currently it's just a pre-processing stage, but they eventually want to make it possible to AOT compile usin

Check out git-annex (and the corresponding assistant). I haven't used it yet, but it supposedly supports S3 and glacier, and hard drives and will tell you where each file is backed up.

Assuming you have matplotlib installed: using PyPlot x = linspace(0,2*pi,1000); y = sin(3*x + 4*cos(2*x)); plot(x, y, color="red", linewidth=2.0, linestyle="--") title("A sinusoidally modulated sin

Can't he use Strip for the online portion of these transactions? I don't know if their customer service is any better, but at least he doesn't have to use Paypal.

Please do! I've been keeping an eye out for a post from you on the haskell subreddit announcing some work. I have some ideas for some numerical code in Haskell, but I keep coming back to numpy/julia/matlab for my day-to-day.

You still need to do your masters, "along the way". If I remember correctly, in England, first you do you masters, and then start a PhD. 2 masters + 4-5 phd = 6. Most European countries require a masters degree before starting, bu

They run north of $2000 in Switzerland. I was ready to spend $1000 to replace the awful chairs the university provides.

This is not a compiler that does python -> llvm. It is a way to build llvm IR from python using the C++ API. Otherwise you output LLVM IR as text, and call the llvm command line tools to do stuff with it. For example, you can use this to

In short: Yes. It is the "batteries included" version of Haskell that comes with basically everything you need to write production ready software. There are obviously a lot of useful packages on `cabal`, but they are mostly useful so that y

I've had to speak often lately in front of small and medium sized groups, and the biggest thing that has helped is to just practice my talk several times alone. Obviously giving the talk in front of others is important, especially when it c

So, the private key is encrypted on the client side, which requires that the user type their key-password in, so that the client can send the private key in order to authenticate? I generally use ssh keys so that I dont have to type my pa

Can anyone comment on why password-less ssh-keys are bad? ("#11: Never ever use passphrase free key (passphrase key less) login.") I usually figure that it just generates some random number based on the time + salt and that is more secure (

I was going to say this, but I would say its slightly better because the "effective" pixels are sharper -- You could probably run a text editor with a smaller font and still feel comfortable.

Fortran is 1-index as well. I think MATLAB gets its notational style from Fortran.

Double precision performance is now just half speed, which is the same as the CPU. Many applications are bandwidth bound, so running in double vs. single doesn't end up with a 2x difference anyway.

In the article he links to "Emacs Prelude". From its README: No arrow navigation in editor buffers This is not a bug - it's a feature! I firmly believe that the one true way to use Emacs is by using it the way it was intended to be used (a

I'm thinking about picking up the 3GS here in Switzerland with a pretty cheap subscription plan, which is essentially a subsidized pay-as-you-go plan. (with a $20 subsidy over 2 years). So there definitely is a market for the older 3GS.

I also went through this, gave up, then downloaded the tarball, and copied the plugin to its spot in /var/lib/. I did backup the old plugin though, just in case. I also tried just updating Chrome, which is supposed to have the newer flash v

What popped out at me was the battery life for the fire: 8 hours continuous reading or 7.5 hours video playback 8 hours doesn't seem like very much. Clearly its an LCD panel with back lighting and all that, but 8 hours seems a bit short.

It looks like Omnigraffle, which runs on OS X. Given that llvm is mostly sponsored by Apple, I could imagine a lot of the devs are running OS X. I used a bit back in college and I remember the shadowed boxes looking like that. I especially
