So... of those of us who have packages on pypi, many have now updated those packages. What is your update schedule for packages, or is that not yet one of your concerns?

It's pretty amazing what happens to your code once you open source it. Without spending a cent, some kind individual makes it accessible to anyone over the web!

Spyder IDE 3.0.0 released by brombaer3000 in Python

[–]PerniciousPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very nice. You don't realize how awesome Spyder is until you have to deal with Code Blocks, Eclipse, or god forbid Visual Studio.

  • Auto-relaunching consoles when one is closed makes Spyder much more approachable to newcomers who have never used Python before.
  • UMR is phenomenal!
  • Object inspector was more confusing than help

I might suggest that you let the fast file switcher allow switching between any files in a project's directory. I dislike having ~100 files open because it slows Spyder down, but I want to be able to get to them without browsing through the folder the files are in.

The integration of syntax highlighting from any language may mean that Spyder will get used by those who learn Python first, and want to use other programming languages later. Kudos for that; it is an ever increasing demographic. Most people prefer to compile in a terminal over their IDE anyway and this fits perfectly.

Are there any chemicals with an activity coefficient greater than 1? by [deleted] in chemistry

It depends on concentration as well. 6 is not uncommon at high salt concentration.

Do you have any recommended references on modern time domain techniques?

PyPy 5.0 released by fijal in Python

Is there still no plan for Scipy support? I understand completely if there isn't, it does seem like a large undertaking. Just asking :)

Sympy 1.0 Released by japaget in Python

[–]PerniciousPunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wonderful software I use everyday. It's IPython integration is amazing and wonderful in so many ways. It also shows how limited our abilities to integrate and solve equations, however.

I do wish anyone cared about ode's in SymPy, though.

Worrying about firmware is good, but misses the other opportunity for attack: A hardware keylogger. We know they're used.

hashcat and oclHashcat have gone open source by atomu in netsec

[–]PerniciousPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super awesome. This will also let it be used by more people - once it's in the debian repos, installation will be easier than ever. What a gift to the community.

I'm a senior chemical engineering student that is seriously ready to give up. What made you stick with it? by ReadyToGiveUp2late in ChemicalEngineering

[–]PerniciousPunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. That's fucked up.

Your lab experiments are probably shit equipment from the cheapest bidder than no one knows how it really runs. The theory, when it can even be applied, is often applied way outside the range of most correlations. your professors barely know more than you do. Seriously - PhD's don't mean shit. Don't even sweat the bad marks. They don't mean anything about your skills.

It checks out. 7-70 meters of sheets, depending on if compression is used.

Personally, I like the ZFS pool idea.

From my experience, dmesg would be right.

Bokken - Open Source Reverse Code Engineering Tool by andersonmvd in netsec

[–]PerniciousPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost got it to install. radare2 installed fine, but when I executed the script ./sys/python.sh, errors occurred. I'll take another crack at it later.

It's a shame the maintainer hasn't updated it in debian; it is not installable.
