Look into Dwarf Fortress. The world generation is incredibly complex and realistic. The community-driven wiki is helpful as always[1]. Not only is the physical world generation impressive, the generated history and lore is amazing as well.

I like Kraken myself. If you are interested in a lot of altcoins, try Poloniex, although they haven't got the best reputation.

> I still haven't found a good cloud platform for short, high intensity HPC tasks.

I would suggest contacting the nearby university with research groups using HPC such as theoretical chemistry, bioinformatics or computational economics. I would guess you could get a special deal for less than what you'd pay for an AWS instance.

Maybe they would rather use another exchange like Kraken or poloniex in order to also trade pairs like BTC/XRP or BTC/VTC.

The codegolf stackexchange site never seizes to amaze me.

Team Fortress 2 with a mate.

Dwarf Fortress 2 when I need to immerse myself in something completely different than theoretical chemistry.

Try Kraken and deposit fiat through an international bank transfer (I think it's called SEPA). It'll take a few days before you can start buying crypto, but you'll avoid the fees coinbase is charging for the instant credit card transaction.

I cannot use "$" to go to end of line to work. Also, when holding down "h" it does't scroll.

Other wise very nice!

Well, when the "thriving new business" isn't paying tax in Denmark and its employees doesn't pay tax either we have a problem.

>just support their own rubbish They support ALAC, a lossless format. Sure, converting is a slight hassle, but doesn't take long. The quality is the same as in FLAC.

I had the same question and had to dig a little for it.

>Dash (DASH) is a privacy-centric digital currency with instant transactions. It is based on the Bitcoin software, but it has a two tier network that improves it. Dash allows you to remain anonymous while you make transactions, similar to cash. With Bitcoin, transactions are published to the blockchain and you can prove who made them or to whom, but with Dash the anonymization technology makes it impossible to trace them. This is important because the blockchain is accessible to anyone with an internet connection – a significant drawback for those don’t wish their transaction history and balances to be publicly available. Dash does this through a mixing protocol utilizing an innovative decentralized network of servers called Masternodes, avoiding the need for a trusted third party that could compromise the integrity of the system. Dash transactions are almost instantly confirmed by the Masternodes network. This is a great improvement on Bitcoin’s system, where confirmations take much longer because all the work is done by the miners. For full details please read the Dash whitepaper.

I like the one about the Deutsche Bahn (german railway company) using TeX to typeset the time tables on the train stations.

>AES-256, one of the strongest encryption algorithms available

Hmm... I'd take 4096-bit GPG over this any day. I rather like using pass[0]

It sure would be nice if MKL could be integrated in clang. It's still the fastest LAPACK implementation. I use it on a relatively powerfull cluster (~11k cores) at university for doing quantum chemical calculations in Dalton, and having more research software as open source would benefit everyone in the end I believe.

What made what.cd unique was the way everything was organized with tags and correct information about every release. It's going to take quite a lot of time getting all that right again.

Interesting, but a whole lor shorter than what I expected to be honest.

>Remember it's illegal to posses these documents. It's different for the media; everything you're learning about this, you're learning from us

This is terrifying. Like, 1984-style terrifying.

This really makes me appreciate TeX and friends. Writing equations, while just one of the strengths of TeX, just looks so much better.

Nice, but I'd rather not be forced to use Firefox in full screen.

- LaTeX

- OS X & iOS

- (GNU) coreutils (sed, cat, grep etc)

- GNUplot

- Mathematica

Primary usecase for listed software is studying chemistry. I enjoy using DALTON (quantum chemistry software) and Dwarf Fortress, but neither is really that reliable (yet).

Good point.

I work a bit with PET-related isotopes, mostly fluor-18 and carbon-11, which has half-lives of 110 and 20 minutes, respectively. You gotta be careful with that stuff, the radiation (β-minus) is pretty dangerous if you're exposed for long (usually there's 5-30 GBq per vial), but again, it's pretty neat that if something happens (you spill something for example), you can just leave the room and clean it the next day without any problems. Overall, there's really no radioactive waste, since after 24 hours it's darn safe (and the FDG turned to sugarwater, literally).

So you're saying you can feel the difference between 20 and 21 degree Celsius?

Not related to the content of the PDF, but I seriously dislike the width of those margins. While LaTeX look marvelous as always, there's just too much text per page.

Not that relevant, but

>Because the Julia language is particularly good at adding new data types without sacrificing speed, several people jumped on making a port to Julia, including the MIT founders of that language.

I'm really impressed with the Julia language so far and considering implementing some quantum chemistry models for many-body systems (Hartree-Fock and probably Coupled Cluster if I ever get that far). Mostly because a) Julia looks fun, b) FORTRAN is still king of speed (which I'll need all I can get of) but is a pain to write and c) the alternative to FORTRAN is C(++), where being OO isn't that much of a bonus. And Julie looks fun to write.

"The less(1) we're all familiar with has been completely rewritten. After importing a fork from illumos' Garrett D'Amore, OpenBSD continued to make improvements to the code. A safer and more modern tool was the end result, even if it's just for viewing text. Hopefully there will be less bugs now."

Impressive work.

Had my hopes up for a short while... You'll loose in Dwarf Fortress sooner or later due to "FPS-death" and DF is single-core only.

Tip: don't set it to 4096x2160 unless you know what you're doing.

>people with guns taking over government-owned property

Yeah this is one of the reasons I don't like guns in general. Sure if they disagree they can demonstrate all they want, but bringing guns into the equation is just plain stupid and asks for trouble.

When 4K (2160p) video will become mainstream we're gonna need more bandwidth to stream it (Netflix for example). Even with h.265 or V8 it's atleast double the bitrate compared to 1080p.
