How to get the args of a function in Python:

# "Regular" arguments:
>>> import inspect
>>> def spam(a, b, c=3): pass
... 
>>> inspect.getargspec(spam)
ArgSpec(args=['a', 'b', 'c'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(3,))

# IIRC, this is what I had to do to install Znc 0.202 in Ubuntu 11.04:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trekcaptainusa-tw/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install znc

# Don't forget to open the port in iptables. And while this opens the port, it
# won't restore the settings upon next boot. You'll want to use iptables-save
# for that, like: iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules (this depends on your setup)
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

by Yasha Berchenko-Kogan

A lot of math grad school is reading books and papers and trying to understand what's going on. The difficulty is that reading math is not like reading a mystery thriller, and it's not even like reading a history book or a New York Times article.

The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?
