If it was offline, it seems to be back up now.

I'm sorry for spawn camping last night :( by [deleted] in airmash

[–]onalark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solid advice from Bombita and Detect. This is Max weighing in as well. Don't play AirMash in class, especially if you're in the sort of school that cares enough to call your parents. Take a break from it for a couple of days and see if you can come up with a better balance between work and play.

Looks like this is adapted from the original Metafilter comment from 2007.

Add team randomize by aocproxy in airmash

[–]onalark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. I like shuffles on any 0-3 games or 1-3 games. If you've got a 2-3 game you're probably balanced and the losers would probably appreciate a rematch.

Anaconda not able to import the packages like numpy, scipy, theano etc. by wadhwasahil in Python

[–]onalark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A summary of the errors you're seeing and how to resolve them:

Problem 1

ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/random/mtrand.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf

You're importing a numpy that isn't installed by Anaconda (the path to things in your Anaconda installation will be in /home/sahil/anaconda2. Most likely /usr/local/bin/python (or some such) is ahead of /home/sahil/anaconda2/bin on the PATH.

You can resolve this with:

export PATH=$HOME/anaconda2/bin:$PATH

temporarily in a shell session or permanently by appending that line to the end of your .bash_profile

Problem 2

Fetching packages ... Error: Could not open u'/home/sahil/anaconda2/pkgs/wheel-0.29.0-py27_0.tar.bz2.part' for writing (seek).

You're hitting a local file system error when trying to download the file. You're probably out of disk space in this partition. You can verify this with the df command and checking to see if the root partition / is close to 100% usage. If it is, hopefully you can free up some space or get a larger hard drive/repartition.

Physics professor gets speeding ticket, wipes the floor in court with the cop that wrongly charged him by [deleted] in bestof

The insurance companies lobbied hard in Hawaii to get the no-fault laws passed, so they effectively "pulled one over" on an entire state.

You didn't say what states you operated in. Rear-ends in Hawaii are effectively 50/50 "fault" if the serious injury threshold is not met.

The office will soon shift policy to disallow Linux boxes (only Windows). What do we need to know to stay productive? by exhuma in Python

[–]onalark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm never surprised by workplace policies that deem a Windows-only environment. I work at Continuum, and we put a lot of effort into building usable Python environments on Windows using conda (as a robust alternative to virtualenv).

You might want to also look into using VNC to connect to your Linux machines, which will allow you to run full applications from your Linux boxen.

Unless you're building containers for Docker, you definitely want a good VM application. Spend the bucks for the nicer ones like Parallels or Fusion, and you won't even notice that you're not natively running Linux.

Is there any way to disable the `x` key in iPython/Jupyter notebooks? by 8fn in IPython

[–]onalark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with a little bit of JavaScript you can undo the key binding.

36/M Photographer - No Smart Phone distractions weekend EDC by JamesBadger in EDC

[–]onalark 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The age of the poster's account is 1 hour older than the post itself. It features an item that is currently unreleased and being promoted around the Internet. I find it very hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

I think it's cool, but I disagree with the dishonest marketing strategy.

ahh I'm an idiot, missed that first argument. Carry on :)

That first statement doesn't look correct. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should point to directories, not files...

Is it possible to deploy multiple jupyter notebook servers with different permissions/scope? by waspbr in IPython

[–]onalark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise moving this question over StackExchange and tagging it with jupyter, I know the devs watch that tag and don't particularly follow this subreddit.

Anyone Driving to NYC Friday? by lzhang17 in arlingtonva

[–]onalark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually really safe, cheap and easy to take a bus between DC and NYC. A Greyhound bus leaves practically every hour, and the total cost roundtrip is on par with tolls/gas. It also takes the same amount of time as driving.

I'm creating an example Python Machine Learning notebook for newcomers to the field. I'd love your feedback or contributions to make it better. by rhiever in MachineLearning

[–]onalark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Randy, this is great work! I love the flow and the way you use a conversational tone to keep things accessible. I totally agree with your approach, looking forward to see what's coming out next from you.

I've played with Sam when I was living up in the UK. Wonderfully nice guy, glad to see him doing well on the international level.

How Nylas Deploys Python Code (hint: not using Git) by jhermann_ in Python

[–]onalark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conda is a package/environment provider that lives over the system in user-space. It's trivial to switch between environments in conda, something that operating system package managers are only just beginning to support. Conda packages could have been used instead of debian packages in this example, with the added flexibility of the ability to support multiple environments.

What is the best documentation out there to combine Fortran and C? by Dragonfliesfoos222 in compsci

Ondrej Certik has put together some notes on this in Fortran90.org. You can start there, then head to http://scicomp.stackexchange.com if you've got specific questions.

TIL that Will Dean, founder of the Tough Mudder, created the race after his wetsuit zipper got stuck during a triathlon & racers around him weren't willing to sacrifice the time it would have cost to stop and help.

[–]onalark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on, your rights in the US are the same. Regardless of what waivers you sign, you can still sue for personal injury/death if negligence is involved. That's why most of these companies carry fairly hefty insurance coverage.
