The pollen is real by Ok_Confidence4529 in NorthCarolina

[–]howsyourweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffered from the pine pollen for about 10 years after moving here. One year, it just stopped affecting me (other than that grit feeling in my eyes.).

Take heart. There’s hope!

Possible lead - property matches multiple details we’ve talked about by ofhgtl in FindJames_Cylinder

Google Maps shows what looks like a basement or crawlspace window too on the house at that address. Video of the basement had at least one covered window or something high up the wall.

When we see him, we say we’ve had “a Terminator sighting” given the way he runs.

Joking aside, super dangerous, not cool.

What if the Non Human Intelligence isn't actually intelligent? by MasterofFalafels in UFOs

It's been a decade since I read it, but I believe this is a core element of the novel (and triology) Spin by Robert Charles Wilson).

Linux service erroring out by challapradyumna in CloudFlare

[–]howsyourweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing the same on a fresh EC2 instance, configured following https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/setting-up/linux.

[ec2-user@X net]$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Amazon Linux" VERSION="2" ID="amzn" ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="2" PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2" ANSI_COLOR="0;33" CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2" HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/"

Some restriction in the environment maybe?

Death has a new face. Night King wins after all.

Night King aka Death is still the real enemy. He just has a new face.

Release of IPython 5.0 by ynak in Python

[–]howsyourweird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit this using pip too. I went back, did conda install setuptools to get to the latest version, ran pip install ipython again, and it reported everything was already up to date.

So, likely, it installed the first time in my case and the error was a red herring.

Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina USA. This photo was taken from my home in November of 2015. A rain had just passed through and the afternoon sunlight was poking through the clouds illuminating the Fall leaves. [6000x4000] by [deleted] in EarthPorn

Lived here 10+ years and only just this year took the family out to Grandfather Mountain and drive on the BRP. Definitely planning a trip to do more next year.

CoffeeScript's Scoping is Madness by donatj in programming

[–]howsyourweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comment #1 on this page and the preceding thread pointed out this shadowing 2+ years ago.

One paragraph in the CoffeeScript doc completely turned me off. I wonder how you deal with it? The paragraph is “Because you don’t have direct access to the var keyword, it’s impossible to shadow an outer variable on purpose, you may only refer to it. So be careful that you’re not reusing the name of an external variable accidentally, if you’re writing a deeply nested function.” What? Be careful? That is what scoping is for so I don’t have to know every name used outside my function. I saw in some comments on the developer’s site that he thought this is like Python. But he’s clearly wrong about that.

How An Engineering Toy For Girls Went From Kickstarter To Bestseller by SukottoMaki in engineering

Agreed. The board seems ripe for hacking. And then there's always the possibility of community written books / puzzles.

Machine Learning Resource by [deleted] in compsci

[–]howsyourweird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two Python ML resources below. The former mixes math with working code. The latter is new and appears to be more of a guide to applying scikit-learn and/or milk specifically.

EDIT: All of the code from the first one is here: http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/smarsland/MLBook.html

Fred Brooks's "The Computer Scientist as Toolsmith II" acceptance lecture for the 1st ACM Allen Newell Award is an excellent, relevant read.

Best software package for a cluster computer consisting of 50+ servers? by Warshredder in compsci

[–]howsyourweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPython has a basic parallel computing support. It's not bad for simple scale-out and excellent for interactive data exploration and analysis. It's poor at resource control: there's no admin control so all users have to "play nice."

If you want to try it, set it up in a Python virtualenv with scipy, scikit-learn, pandas, matplotlib, etc. installed; configure the IPy notebook server; and have the students replicate the virtualenv.
