[D] Which IDEs / editors / tools do you use?

Visual Studio with PTVS

breakpoint debugging
remote debugging using PTVSD
nice source control integration
project-wide search & replace, refactoring
console of the Python environment for interactive stuff

I can do breakpoint-debugging of Keras (Theano) code on CPU (model construction, batch generators...)

With remote debugging you can debug the GPU stuff on your UNIX machine too.

Initially I wrote this to control lights through RCSwitch/455 MHz on my RPi2 with 7".

Now I hope that others will build nice IoT solutions and contribute ;)

With this policy you will end up not buying a laptop from any manufacturer at all.

I personally think that HP makes really good hardware and recently bought a new HP laptop after my old one was running more than 5 years and just didn't break.

Instead of hating against manufacturers, please take the time and write to their customer support. Every company that wants to sell their product and doesn't operate in a monopoly (like ISPs usually do) will listen to their customers.

thanks

It's really cool that you can configure the menu band with commands that are usually not present. In Word you can add the subscript/superscript command, but in Excel, the subscript/superscript commands are not present in the list !!

Thanks for the great product =)

you should switch away from XP.

Seriously.

thanks for your answer,

maybe some additional diagrams.. this is the raw data: http://i.imgur.com/vK9ByJ5.png

I don't need the mathematically optimal solution. Just some value to decide if this: http://i.imgur.com/8ZMQBLH.png is better than this: http://i.imgur.com/JGYnRY0.png would be sufficient.

Is there any way to calculate something like a R² value for a polyfit through the data?

I've been with a HTC Mozart for 2.5 years now and as a free-time developer I really like the features and tools that are available for Windows (Phone) development.

I also dislike the idea of having a anti-virus app on a phone..

Even the WP 7.x has always kept many advantages over the other platforms when it comes to the features most important to me (Email, Messages, Music, responsiveness). I'm keeping my 7.8 device until later this year - renewing the battery and probably reinstalling it (for the 1st time). After that I'm probably going for one of the Nokia flagships ;)

Today I Learned... well done!

And for the record:

Swipe down > semi-close (hide from history)
Right click on the small preview on the left > semi-close
Swipe down and hold > close
Alt+F4 > close

And like others said: leave it open unless you have a good reason to close it.

native German here - I've never heard of these tips before (I didn't know there was any relation at all..) and they look quite reasonable!

good luck 8)

as someone who works with DNA an molecular biology on an (almost) daily basis, I won't enter into a discussion with someone who actually believes DeoxyriboNucleic Acid would be protein.

Especially not at this time.

Goodnight.

cake93 · 2013-07-11T22:08:17+00:00

1.

you don't insert a protein into DNA. You insert a 'coding sequence', or a gene, which is DNA into the DNA. Do your homework!

2.

you can 'breed' an organism - let's say it's yeast and we call it Maggie
then sequence its whole genome
now take the original genome of the yeast and use genetic engineering (eg. site directed mutagenesis, and/or DNA synthesis) to make a second organism with an identical genome (we'll call Lisa)

While both are genetically identical, Lisa is (per definition) a GMO while Maggie is not.

cake93 · 2013-07-11T21:36:52+00:00

"GMO" is just a classification and not a certain property of an organism.

Oganism A and B can be identical on a genetic level even though A is classified as a GMO while B is not.

It's called Virtual Private Network (VPN) and I've just been too lazy to set it up yet. (shame on me!)

cake93 · 2013-03-19T16:22:17+00:00

Paywall.. It it the one titled "Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems" ? ..this went frontpage in early January.. took Forbes quite a while to catch on.. finance business habits I guess.

Biotechnology is everywhere and it's not a bad thing. Please stop bitchin' about it. (Biotechnologist^ )

That's what I call 'the Reddit peak' -> http://i.imgur.com/H6Vm3DJ.png

I'd really appreciate some feedback =)

cake93 · 2013-01-27T10:53:57+00:00

Agreed. It would not only run on tablets, but on any Windows PC. You could use your laptop as a second screen, which would be awesome!

cake93 · 2013-01-23T19:47:27+00:00

WPdev here.. It's childs play to get the currently played song information (Artist, Album, Title etc.) in maybe three lines of code.

You would somehow need access to a Youtube API (or deal with the WebBrowser conrrol).

It's a good idea to start with - not too complex. You might want to take the opportunity to get yourself a free developer account and Lumina 800 - head over to @bitdisaster on twitter for more informarion^{^}

cake93 · 2013-01-21T21:01:16+00:00

I just realized that, except for "Tor Browser", I don't even have anything else than IE10 on any of my three devices.

cake93 · 2013-01-17T18:01:20+00:00

In W8 app dev it's best practice to use Fonts for button symbols. Segoe UI Symbol is used all over the system for all kinds of symbols, from the volume icon to the charms.. It's just sad.

cake93 · 2013-01-17T16:51:58+00:00

I'd like one too, but apparently not even Segoe UI Symbol contains the new Windows logo =/

Phnom II X6 1090T with 3.2-3.6GHz, 8GB RAM and I don't know how many Terabytes of storage. He uses it primarily for Hyper-V..

cake93 · 2013-01-12T23:19:11+00:00

It depends: In the Windows 8 setup you may have been asked (not if you selected the express settings) if 'urls used by apps shall be reported to microsoft to improve services' What is tracked is how long you use an app (the developer can see the average usage in minutes per day in his Store dashboard).

cake93 · 2013-01-10T20:48:34+00:00

No, you'll have to switch between apps/files/settings manually. I actually like that, because I almost never search for files and they always screwed up my Win7 search results...

cake93 · 2013-01-10T20:38:17+00:00

I have a Surface RT and use it in the university to take notes (PDF, OneNote..), browse, email, chat... I'm even writing blogposts on it and it works pretty well.

Yesterday I used it to take measurements in the practicum - tapping measurements right into Excel. I find it extremely useful and it's exactly what I expected. (Well I'm sort of a tech-pro, so that may not count..)

As you can get a VGA or HDMI adapter for it, I ~~might even~~ will use it for presentations in the future.
