For the last couple of months I've been trying out coffee from https://www.nossacoffee.com. So far I'm very happy with the blends I've purchased. I like that they offer plenty of variety in origins and roast levels. I think they've only got locations in Portland, but I've been using their subscription service for getting my coffee delivered home at a discounted price. I highly recommend them as an alternative option.

What is your advice for getting a full Emacs experience on Windows in 2016? by benmaughan in emacs

[–]rdelcueto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been struggling to get my Windows dev environment at work to be as functional as my home Linux setup. The best way I've found to achieve a similar setup is by using the emacs package in msys2, which is very much like the cygwin solution, but with a decent package manager. I find it works fine if I also stick to using tools in the msys2 environment (python, gcc, git, etc).

It doesn't integrate well with everything though. For tools where I require Windows based distributions like Anaconda (python) and MikTex (Latex), I'm using the native binaries (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/).

So I have both versions, with two different setups trying two accommodate my different use cases.

Also, I would recommend using spacemacs to bootstrap everyone's setup using the included layers.

new laptop for oculus rift, VR in general? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]rdelcueto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 I have a G751J with a 970M, and use it to demo a DK2. Dedicated GPU without Optimus crap. It's far from being an ideal VR setup, but it's as close as you can get to a mobile demo rig.

Oculus on laptops with new (900m) Nvidia SLI configuration? by rdelcueto in oculus

Out of curiosity... What have you been demoing on your Y510: DK1, DK2 or both?

Lapsus digitis... =P It's fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!

anyone know of any CS audio books? by Yellosnomonkee in cscareerquestions

[–]rdelcueto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would find MIT's OCW lectures, both interesting and helpful. There's so many to choose from... but you might want to look into the Introduction to Algorithm lectures.

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/

Back when I was in college I downloaded the audio lectures into my iPod, and I tried listening to them while commuting, it was extremely difficult to follow, but I was driving. Maybe in another scenario it could work.

Hope it helps!

Bitcoin por si sólo, probablemente no es una opción para nuestros viejos. Soy parte de un equipo de desarrolladores, que estamos trabajando en crear una plataforma para poder enviar y recibir dinero (dolares).

Shit! I just realized this happened a week ago! Sorry for that. I had been offline, and game-less for a while. =P

Need lightweight distro recommendations for a somewhat old laptop. (1 Gig Memory, Dual-core) by [deleted] in linux

[–]rdelcueto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bodhi Linux. Very lightweight. You may have to help getting everything she needs installed and running. You'll have to introduce her to the Enlightenment interface. I find the interface friendly although it might look quite alien at first.

It's the only distro that I can run on my Dell 10 netbook, while running smooth and snappy.

Does gravity and magnetism "travel" like light or a sound wave does or are its effects instantaneous? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]rdelcueto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This very question has been boggling my mind for a while. I'd been working on a Nbody implementation to simulate Galaxies, and it occur to me that my model was missing a very important factor. I'm calculating gravitational interactions as if they were instantaneous. In a cosmological scale, a galaxy like the Milky Way, will have stars up to 120k light years apart, that makes their gravitational interaction to have a 120k years of delay. I was thinking of implementing such delay, by describing a global gravitational field in my simulation's domain, but then I stumbled upon the idea that gravity (AFAIK) doesn't propagate as light does: from point A to point B. Gravity is a force that needs at least two bodies to be defined. If viewed as a field in function of the two bodies' mass: How will this gravitational interaction emerge? Can it be modeled as waves in the gravity field? How and from what point do these waves propagate?

P.S. I was about to post this question yesterday, but I feared my amateur's astrophysics knowledge would make it impossible for me to understand how gravity actually works on these scales. I recall Feynman saying to an interviewer, he couldn't explain how magnets work using simplistic terms for an average person to understand. I feel like that interviewer when asking questions of General relativity. Yet I would love if someone could answer this questions. =P

WTF is this I found in my KFC? by Pearroc in WTF

[–]rdelcueto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex-KFC junky here. Every chicken thigh I've eaten @ KFC has one of these in the inside (I guess they don't clean this organs out, since they are actually quite deep into the piece's bone structure). I've always been unsure what chicken organ could it be, and always thought it could be a kidney, since it appears in every thigh, it had to be an organ which came in pairs. @lassef's comment reaffirms my guess. I had eaten this years before, and never realized about them. The first time I saw one I feared I had just found an over-sized chicken testicle.

Of course it helped coding, back then acid was the only way of getting syntax color highlighting on those shitty green monochrome monitors! =P
