I've found that the rules can be expressed quite elegantly and compactly in a language that supports pattern matching. I have a Haskell implementation [1] which is just under 300 lines of code including the parsing of SAN moves (standard algebraic notation) which is used in PGN files.

No it runs deeper than that. In my experience Matlab is used by people who are not programmers and don't aspire to be them. Ever. They want to easily prototype ideas and have zero interest in the machinery that makes it run.

Scipy/Numpy/Pandas are, at the moment, not the comprehensive, well documented and consistent platform that Matlab is. Simple things like a less than painless install process and numpy examples like "a*b" can be element wise multiplication or matrix multiplication pending if "a" is array or matrix are enough to put of my coworkers off for at least a year or two before contemplating a switch again.

Yes.

Unfortunately, their marketing is highly convincing. Most people (even most engineers) won't realize the tradeoff here: Authy replaces "two factor authorization" with "two password authorization". It should be clear which is more secure.

The "two factors" with GA are a knowledge factor (something you know - your password) and a possession factor (something you have - your phone number for SMS or phone for GA app).

It's technically an alternative, but since it performs worse and has less features you would probably never actually use it as an alternative.

iOS 7 is still in beta, and there's still quite a lot of bugs in it (hence... beta). Google maps doesn't work either (it always reports a server connection error for me).

I would assume that these are problems with iOS 7, not the apps in question, since iOS should provide backwards compatibility. These bugs should be reported to Apple (ideally by Google or authors of other specific apps, who can narrow down exactly what's going on) so that Apple can fix whatever bug is causing the incorrect behaviour.

A better title might have been "Current iOS 7 beta is not Google Authenticator compatible"

To make your argument clearer: if you buy a house and don't bring a significant amount of your own money to the deal (let's say 20 to 30% of the whole), as during the first years of the mortgage you're mostly paying interest and almost no capital, you're actually throwing your money down the drain in exactly the same way as you'd do paying a rent, BUT with the added responsibilities coming with the mortgage on one hand, and owning the house on the other hand.
These guys could make a lot of money selling the info directly to people who would make use of it to steal cars on mass.

Would the high court prefer that, or a legitimate academic publication that allows us all to learn the lessons from this vulnerability?

I should add of course, that in the spirit of responsible disclosure, that this should only be done after the car manufacturers have had adequate time to fix the problem.
It can be extraordinarily disadvantageous too. Property prices are still extremely high and it's not clear whether this is sustainable over the long-run. Buying or selling a house (at least where I have experience) is a slow, expensive, and fragile process; there are significant costs for both parties.

Renting out a property isn't fun either. Finding suitable tenants and dealing with repairs and other silliness, or paying a property management company that's often despised by tenants, isn't necessarily trivial. Rents might not cover mortgage payments in certain economic periods, especially when factoring in additional expenses. The time that's spent dealing with this headache could be better used doing something else.

Lastly, certain types of mortgages might prohibit renting, and I've seen people caught with their pants down over this.

Owning a place is a burden. It can make financial sense to do so in some situations but I'd be reluctant to buy unless I truly felt I was going to remain in one location for a long (>10 years) period of time. I certainly wouldn't feel like I could just rent it out if I wanted to hop, skip, and jump to a new location after a year or two, or less.

Of course, all my experience is based on buying and renting in the UK. It might be different wherever you are.

Protest marches against GCSB bill across NZ
I have had passive and active (?) income for over 20 years now (started during uni); I write code and manage my company actively, but I have ventures which bring me money without even looking at them.

I have always done the same thing; build something up in a niche, wait until I think it reached it's peak, sell it. Most things I did made between $5k-$10k / month and so sold for a nice amount. With that money I bought a house. Sure you lose some 'freedom' (not really as you can rent something anyway), but you always have the security that you can live somewhere rent and mortgage free. If I would have to do it again, I'd buy several run down houses on big plots of land and one smaller modern house.

Anyway; crisis or no crisis; I don't care; I live for free; next to that there is very little you need (in times of downturn that is; if you make enough next to that you can do anything you like). House IS an investment, but only if you just pay cash (IMHO). With that $100k income/year OP had coming in, in college I would've saved over $50k off that. Few years and plop; cash house. Even if you don't want to live in it the rest of your life it's good to have; takes away heaps of stress later on. At least did for me.

Perhaps. Some might disagree with that, but the "gender neutral pronouns" debate is both long and boring. After all, he and she have both been used throughout English writing to denote all people male and female. Certainly a person using he/she his/her is well aware of the possibility of using they their instead, and perhaps said person is making a stylistic choice.

I do not object to the use of colons, but if I did — insisting on the use of Em dashes instead — and I were to comment that there were perfectly fine alternatives to the colon on every post that used one (such as yours), I might be considered an overly pedantic nuisance.
SciPy's description could have been better. However, if Python/SciPy feels like a cheap knockoff, it's entirely your fault. By that logic, SciPy is also a cheap knockoff of BASIC, C#, R, Tcl, etc. "NumPy and SciPy were created to do numerical and scientific computing in the most natural way with Python, not to be MATLAB® clones." [1]

SciPy's DCT is meant for multidimensional arrays. Array indexing begins at 0 in Python, just like it does in many other languages. So, it's only natural that they'd count axis numbers that way too.

ICEIM 2013 - Engenharia e Materiais Inovadores
We run our ERP/MRP on Oracle ($millions in licensing/maintenance) but our manufacturing operations on PostgreSQL (FOSS DB and homegrown software). <shrug> One is not necessarily "better" than the other, but it sure is nice not to have to rely on an enormous, leeching, sales-driven corporation for a core system.... We have tended to use MSSQL+C# historically for business apps, and it doesn't sit well with the people writing checks when you tell them you need multi-$k extra for the DB license to run their process automation utility (especially with MS's new 2012 licensing model). It doesn't sit well with the CIO when the alternative is a six or seven figure EA.

A company like Stackoverflow is nothing like a large corporation in terms of apps/DBs.

I think mixin's are generally overused; having to maintain css as well as right it, I'm quite happy with a syntax that doesn't encourage their use. If you need em: fine, but the you won't care about @include vs. "." anyhow.
Also affects technical people.
Au contraire: an interactive system with immediate feedback is perfectly didactic. Haskell isn't quite there yet--the error messages are somewhat cryptic and the interactivity isn't quite polished yet--but it's on the right track. Certainly further along in this vein than any other language I know!

Some new features like deferred type errors and type holes are going to really help with this. Especially once editors start taking full advantage of this. I think that this is the future of programming: not writing a program and then debugging it, and not even just working in a repl, but being actively guided by your tools seamlessly as you write your code. Having a dialog with the compiler.
My wife & I bought a house about 7 years ago, and we still like the house, but wish we hadn't bought it.

There are quite a few areas of expertise required to manage a property, and if you don't have them yet it can cost you (both in money and time).

Sure, you can hire someone else to do repairs. But how will you know what repairs are required (do you ask the roofer if this is a patch job, or if a new roof is needed)? How do you know what a given repair or renovation should reasonably cost? How do you find trustworthy contractors? The ones everyone recommends will be busy through next year, more or less, and the unknowns are exactly that.

What tasks can you reasonably do yourself (without experience) as opposed to hiring someone? I.e., shower grout, replacing a light fixture, installing a dishwasher/stove, installing shelving, replacing a door lock, putting weather stripping around windows, small painting jobs, etc..

My wife & I had a few years with significantly lower income. If we had been renting, we would have rented a cheaper place for those years. But we own a house -- so we basically just spent a few years unable to afford to maintain it properly.

More recently, we now have kids and have been thinking of leaving the area entirely -- moving to a different city, or possibly leaving the country.

But to sell or rent the house, we should finish renovation/repairs first. And the selling market isn't great now, but becoming a landlord -- especially remotely -- would require a whole new set of skills.

I've learned a hell of a lot (mostly through error) over these years, but these are not all skills I have wanted to learn, or how I've wanted to spend my time; the fact of buying the house forced an awful lot of experiences after it.

If you rent, you pay someone else to handle all that. If they do a poor job, you look for a better place (and it's not fun to find a new place and move, but it's not a huge deal).

I guess it's a tautology that the people who developed something know it best, but you're being really disingenuous here by implying that only those people would be capable of doing a project like this. Go's stdlib HTTP server takes great pains to be accessible and powerful.
Agree. The problems the human race faces today are global problems. Everyone is concerned by these issues. And solutions can only be global ones.
Last I looked, vector and matrix handling was extremely clunky and tacked on in Python.
IIRC, Boostrap 2 can use percentage widths too -- you need to use the "row-fluid" class (instead of just "row").
What is more important is about easy learning and generated interest. VB provided a simplistic and verbose language which makes easy to understand and it pretty easy to learn.
I love C#, but I probably wouldn't recommend its power for someone only touching the basics and making simple things.
My opinion is that if you're going the rdbms route, you should keep everything on a single instance (mirrored to a hot backup ofcourse). As soon as you start managing a menagerie of servers with intricate programming logic to shuffle data back and forth, the nosql solutions will be a better fit. So, for any rdbms i would advise using it where it can handle the load on one instance, or possibly a few with a very simplistic sharding model (e.g. we never shard the schema, but we do host different customers on different oracle instances, without any data shared across customers).

I haven't worked enough with postgres to know what loads it can handle, but i'm sure there are plenty of cases where a single instance is just fine.

So what exactly is the point of bootstrap? It includes an entirely pointless (and poorly made) grid system; an excessive (and unnecessary) css reset; complex & slow selectors, and lots of default styling you're probably going to replace anyhow.

If it were a bunch of separate modules you could individually include and use as a template for your own style, you could actually use the parts you need: as it is, I really don't understand the hype.
Well, if by few hundred years you mean at least ~2.2 millenia then yes, because Buddhism's dont-take-life preaching is at least that old.

And since when did the ethics and normalities of past become the standards by which our present should be governed? If animal slaughter is alright because it was okay a few hundred years ago then slavery, child marriage and hundred other nonsensical stuff should be alright as well. What we do now should be determined by how our society feels now and how it wants to invest in the future. Arguing that that our present actions should be governed by medieval ethics is lazy.

Julia seems like an easy transition for any Matlab programmer. The syntax is very similar and the built-in package manager makes finding new libraries way easier. And apart from that, performance is awesome.

If having an IDE is an issue, Julia also has one (http://forio.com/julia/index) which looks a lot like Matlab.

Once you bookmark something, it's gone, except it's in your bookmark bar.

Then I switched to Firefox, which has better support for organizing things, starting with Tab-Groups, Tags for Bookmarks etc. unfortunately it's not helping to organize bookmarks too. Importing all chrome bookmarks leaves me with an unmanageable task of sorting things.
Bootstrap is a, well, bootstrap. You're supposed to build upon it, so having a "flat" base makes sense since it's less hassle to add CSS properties (and give your buttons some bevels) than override existing ones.

Well, you do have the liberty to add your non-flat styles as you wish...

Although using Authy's backup service is optional and the app works just fine with local-only storage and no Authy account, which is how I have it set up.
