@TimStone I understand your implementation but where did StackExchange.ready come from? Or why is it in the global scope and where would I find methods of this object?
We should get this moving, so I looked at a few other random sites' FAQ to get an idea about how this works:
Math.SE
Physics.SE
Computational Science (this is a fresh beta)
TeX.SE
User Experience and Science Fiction (for some sites more different from ours)
I put some links here for your conv...
Today's cumulative users report (thanks to @Verbeia for the code!)
@rcollyer I answered your question on meta. I'm here in chat today for a while.
I'm fine with interoperability. Viewing it logically, people looking for interop will find interoperability and will know what it is. People who are not sure what they want may be confused by interop.
@JM I vote for interoperability, but we can make interfacing a synonym. I think interoperability is better because it is more general. It is also appropriate for e.g. data exchange formats (how can I transfer a sparse matrix from Mma to MATLAB? <-- this was a real question of mine)
@acl I forgot, but MATLAB had a function for converting from an {i,j} -> value type of list (a 3 by n matrix) to an actual sparse matrix. I had to extract these triplets from the SparseArray, and transfer them to MATLAB (either through a text file or through mEngine, see the wiki of the interop tag)
@acl The catch was preserving the matrix size when it had zero rows or columns at the edge. For this I always included the lower-rigth element of the matrix, even if it was zero.
@J.M. actually my particular application would have been a much better fit for mEngine than saving and loading files (which is what I did in the end), except mEngine appears to work on windows only
(good point about the mtx files, I did not know about them)
so, since I don't really have to make all sorts of publication quality plots for a paper I am resubmitting on monday, and thus have infinite free time, let me compile octave from source and see if this mtx thing works
@acl mEngine should work fine on Linux/Mac, you need minimal changes to the source (only the main function, chage that WInMain thing to main --- see addtwo.c on how to do it)
Not sure... The change happened when they introduced the @ notifications and autocomplete. I guess it means more kinds of patterns that they need to match against for a possible username
so, while I was reading up in wikipedia about spartacus, not one but two answers popped up to the Bag question... even giving the same example I had in mind (Graph)
What can internally be happening here? Is the evaluator just messing with us and going non-standard because its a Bag? Or am I just not seing how something like this could be done in MMA?
AppendTo[$ContextPath, "Internal`"];
In[19]:= ClearAll[x, y];
{x, y} = {Bag[{1, 2, 3}], Bag[{4, 5}]};

I am trying to come up with a functional programming method to calculate a list of replacements, that depend on previous replacements. Since there is always a finite number of steps, I would like to use Fold, Nest, ComposeList or any related function in an elegant way. Now I only have the the fol...
@yoda I knew that, too. But, I vaguely recalled something about it stopping at 2k. It may have been in reference to the q&a edit privilege itself kicking in, and I didn't see the tag wiki component. But, oh well. So, I guess I need to go forth and edit something ...

heh, simpler is in the eyes of the beholder. Sure, I know what GeometricTransformation does, but he clearly said he didn't understand it.,.. no point in forcing it on him
that's explains why. So, no posting for a while. Gotta go wake the munchkin and get to a picnic. Yes, it is January in the Northeast. And, why yes, the picnic is indoors.
working from home is a huge plus, thanks to technology these days... I've been thinking of post-docs in the north east (if and when I graduate), but I'd like to work from here — hate (HATE) the cold
Here is my revision of Stan Wagon's 3rd Edition function.
It is again faster and IMHO cleaner.
FindRoots2D::usage =
"FindRoots2D[funcs,{x,a,b},{y,c,d}] finds all nontangential solutions to
{f=0, g=0} in the given rectangle.";
Options[FindRoots2D] = {PlotPoints -> Automatic,

Did I make a mistake? It appears to me to be both faster and cleaner.
Take the following example for hiding/showing a notebook through a Checkbox:
x = True;
CreateDocument[{"hello"}, Visible -> Dynamic[x]];
Checkbox[Dynamic[x]]
It works correctly until the kernel is restarted, but not after.
The documentation explains that the variables in a DynamicModule ar...
We had a great sunny winter day here. Temp between -10 and -3, everything white with snow, and the air dry enough to make it feel pleasant outside (given enough clothing :)
pretty much. it gets a little fussy around oct-jan, by which I mean it drops to 8-13 C on the avg and rains a little (which to southern Californians, is the equivalent of a snowstorm), but otherwise, perfect year round.
it does get a little foggy early on in the day several times during the year due to the marine layer, but that's about it
I seem to have created a bit of a problem for myself:
Oops! There was a problem updating your profile:
Display name may only be changed once every 30 days; you may change again on Feb 27 at 2:10
I changed my display name humorously and now I cannot change it back. Does anyone know a way around this? Will I annoy the diamond mods if I ask for help?
@Szabolcs Ah, the problem is that your site's tags don't have highlighting hints. I'm not sure that the way that works makes sense for a language-specific site, hmm...Anyway, I've submitted a pull request to @halirutan's script that will address the problem in a kind of carpet-bomb sort of way, which is probably safe enough for testing purposes.
(in short, the script will highlight on Mathematica.SE now as well)
Well, I know that's what you do :) But I can't frame rep, and what the hell am I supposed to do with 16k of it anyway? :P At least, I can use it to show appreciation :)
Access to mod tools is new to me, but there are SO MANY deleted answers. I wish people didn't delete when they know it's correct. A correct answer is valuable even if there's a better one.
