This gist compares the performance of Julia, Nim, C++ and R - the latter using either POMP, or LibBi in a simple simulation of an SIR epidemiological model. In addition to keeping track of susceptibles, infecteds and recovereds, I also store the cumulative number of infections. Time moves in discrete steps, and the algorithm avoids language-specific syntax features to make the comparison as fair as possible, including using the same algorithm for generating binomial random numbers and the same random number generator; the exception are the R versions, POMP uses the standard R Mersenne Twister for the random number generator; I'm not sure what LibBi uses. The algorithm for generating random binomial numbers is only really suitable for small np.

Benchmarks were run on a Mac Pro (Late 2013), with 3 Ghz 8-core Intel Xeon E3, 64GB 1866 Mhz RAM, running OSX v 10.11.3 (El Capitan

Install and use pip in a local directory without root/sudo access.

By: @saurabhshri

Why?

Many users when are given server access, do not have root (or sudo) privileges and can not simply do sudo apt-get install python-pip . Here's an easy way you can install and use pip without root (or sudo) access in a local directory. Note : This works without easy_install too.

How?

ewenchou

1. Create a service file like dash_sniffer.service
2. Put it in /lib/systemd/system/
3. Reload systemd using command: systemctl daemon-reload
4. Enable auto start using command: systemctl enable dash_sniffer.service

How to make a Minecraft mod

Minecraft mods, especially mods which change the client, are by and large written with Forge. If you visit their website, you'll be greeted abruptly by a mysterious message at the top of an SMF forum, with no clear path towards actually... making a mod. I'm documenting here the steps I went through to get started, in the hopes of helping the next person have an easier time of it.

I'll be using Scala for this guide, but it should be fairly easy to adapt these instructions to any JVM language (e.g. clojure or if you're feeling masochistic, Java). I'm also developing on OS X, so some of the commands will be a little different if you're on Linux or Windows. I'm assuming you have some proficiency with your operating system, so I won't go into details about how to adapt those commands to your system.

Background

Minecraft doesn't have an official mod API (despite early [promises](http://notch.t

This is a small demo of how to create a library in Rust and call it from Python (both CPython and PyPy) using the CFFI instead of ctypes.

Based on http://harkablog.com/calling-rust-from-c-and-python.html (dead) which used ctypes

CFFI is nice because:

• Reads C declarations (parses headers)
• Works in both CPython and PyPy (included with PyPy)
• Lower call overhead than ctypes

Here are my attempts to script an IntelliJ-based IDE using javax.script.* API (ex-JSR-223).

The list of available scripting languages and engines:

1. Groovy - built-in, via Groovy jars and <app>/lib/groovy-jsr223-xxx.jar
2. JavaScript (Nashorn) - built-in, via Java Runtime <app>/jbr/... (deprecated and will be removed soon)
3. JavaScript (GraalJS) - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12548-intellij-scripting-javascript
4. JPython - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12471-intellij-scripting-python
5. JRuby - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12549-intellij-scripting-ruby
