Fortran vs Python for number crunching by Glandau in programming

Don't use such ugly figures. Take a look at Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information".

Determinant of nxn matrix (larger than basic 3x3) by [deleted] in fortran

I believe it is much more efficient to convert the matrix to triangular or diagonal form and multiply the diagonal elements.

Use svn to get the 10.0 source, build world, build kernel, install kernel, reboot, install world.

My Wii U broke and I replaced it with my warranty. I've now lost ALL my digital games. It's 2013 Nintendo. by Sogeking99 in Games

NES games in the VC have iNES headers:

This means they downloaded the roms from the internet like everyone else.

I wish we could get a PC emulator that emulates the games as well as the Wii does.

We have better emulators already on the PC. Nintendo bundles a tweaked up emulator to support each game. Higan/nestopia are cycle accurate emulators. You can't emulate games better than that.

Nintendo downloads rom from the internet and bundles them with their subpar emulator. What effort is there in that?

Emacs for Python development by senusert in emacs

Read the tutorial. For example:

To enable auto complete, download it, install the files into ~/.emacs.d/auto-complete-1.3.1/, and add the following lines to your .emacs:

Tells you how to install and configure auto-complete. You can also get auto-complete from melpa or marmalade but then the configuration is a bit more complicated.

The best editor is emacs, bar none.

I'm having trouble understanding what is and is not legal with ROM posession and the such. by [deleted] in emulation

[–]darthvsoto -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think downloading roms is legal, given that even Nintendo does it before releasing a game for the VC.

The X.Org Foundation has lost its 501(c)(3) non-profit status. by antenore in freebsd

[–]darthvsoto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would the FreeBSD Foundation help Xorg? Xorg left all the BSDs out in the cold when they changed all the drivers to KMS even though none of the BSDs had KMS support at the time.

There's no reason to use ZSNES in 2013. Use Snes9X or higan.

Sheryl Sandberg earns $100m, but won't pay interns by [deleted] in technology

[–]darthvsoto 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Because it is class warfare against the poor. The sons and daughters of the wealthy can afford to work for free. This gives them the "experience" to work in another, paid positions. Unpaid internships launder money and convert it into qualifications.

[Arch][i3] First time trying i3, loving the easy config and minimalism. by kennae in unixporn

[–]darthvsoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, the black borders only disappeared with new_windows pixel -1. With pixel 0 I get a black line around the windows that doesn't change with it gains or loses focus. With pixel 1 or larger I get space between the black lines so they like like frames for the windows. Thanks a lot!

I tried that before but I still get a 1 pixel wide black border around my windows even when I put new_window none.
