This is a very interesting research prospect and perhaps can be tested in earthquake prone areas, for example Indonesia regions near the fault lines. Using the Android smartphone existing sensors (e.g…

Can someone explain the difference between JuliaDB and Apache Arrow? The latter has just reached stable 1.0 version last month.

I've spent many years living in the UK, to put it politely British food is rather fulfilling but it is nothing to write home about. Fun fact, British will happily tell you that they are eating ou…

I'm surprised that nobody pointed out that the country with the largest number of muslim/islam population Indonesia consistently has the least number of percentage for suicide rate. This is …

Sorry if this appears as a silly question, just wondering that the "proprietary format" that you're transcoding is a well-known format to you right?

Apparently there is a new book (beta stage) dedicated on Go for CLI tools and applications [1]. Personally I think it'll be interesting to include D as well for more complete comparison due to it…

Good artists copy but great artists steal :-) Joking aside, it's funny that Bjarne did not talk about D since it seems that C++ is copying many of D nice features in later of C++ iterations for o…

You my friend, has just described a Professor job at a typical US University. The tenured Professor in US can work until their chosen last day in the office, i. e. as long as they are capable of worki…

Does the Dutch utlizes some kind of AI for their intelligent traffic control? I believe if only 10% of the effort that goes to research on level 5 autonomous vehicle, that we probably never achieve in…

Now Arrow already stable hopefully TileDB can properly support it since they really complement each other [1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15561090 …

Why Gyrocopter is not more popular today than ever is beyond me. It's probably the most efficient and effective way to air travel for short distances. The ultralight Gyrocopter can fly with unlea…

Fully agreed, this year is 2020 guys at least provide QHD for laptops and PCs, and have mercy for your eyes. The only main problem with QHD is that once you've got used to it, it is really hard t…

Another similar concept is by CrowPi initiative but it is based on ARM not Intel [1]. Their second version CrowPi 2 allows the use of any Raspberry Pi in a more laptop like hardware shell with 11.6&qu…

This. Anecdotally one Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) senior Professor told me that normally the best achievers of their undergraduate students go to US for work or further studies after graduati…

This project reminds me of one comment by Walter Bright regarding the use of 40 ICs for a DIY digital clock but never got it working correctly [1].This really shows how far the IC technology has chang…

Most of the commentators in this topic are probably EE guys, may be I can find my old classmates here, hi guys:-) Joke aside, AD is probably one of the most profitable companies with unprecedented mon…

As also mentioned by OP, blogging for your book while writing it, is a very important exercise and it's so underrated. I've spent countless hours during Covid isolation looking for good to e…

This. Not sure how the harmless and cute "Gizmo" web Netscape Navigator becomes the Gremlin monsters of today's web applications. Perhaps the innocent desire of the developers to make t…

Haghia Sophia (built AD537) without doubt is the most majestic building for centuries probably is just surpassed by Taj Mahal. The latter however is just essentially a monument but Haghia is fully fun…

From most religion point of views suicide is a taboo and a big no since you go straight to hell for that. That is why most of the countries with strong religious affiliation the suicide rate is signif…

From reading the comments it seems this effort is more on the nostalgic sentiment for reliving the IRIX desktop. I'm more interested on reliving the CEDAR/Tioga interactive desktop environme…

Coincidentally, I've spent countless hours during the Covid-19 isolation looking for good to excellent textbooks on Engineering and Computer Science. Perhaps I can share them in the near future. …

If you are looking to learn operating system concepts using RPi there is a new textbook by Prof. Vanderbauwhede, under ARM textbook initiative [1]. I think for educational purposes it will be very int…

Actually I want to suggest this topic as well. Modern breakthroughs for example Maxwell's Equation and Einstein's Relativity are both heavily relied on quaternion for their discovery. For Ma…

For a good explanation on Laplace Transform please check the video presentation link that I've provided in my other comments. As for the Laplace Transform, it is mainly use in control system appl…

Please check this video presentation for a simple overview of Laplace Transform [1]. Basically Fourier Transform (FT) is a special case (subset) of Laplace Transform (LT) where the signal waveform rev…

The main reason is probably that by omitting <> for generics makes the symbol table unnecessary as part of the compilation stage. Go and D are the two modern languages that are avoiding symbol …

Lesser known Single Assignment C (SAC) is using array based functional programming as well [1],[2]. As the name implied it uses C/Algol based syntax for parallel programming of multi-core and GPU…

Generally there are four types of internet delay namely propagation delay, processing delay, queueing delay and transmission delay. For satellite link, regardless of Geo or Leo the propagation delay w…

Perhaps SQlite or any SQL engine is not a good idea for application file format [1],[2], or is it just bad for web applications? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23517663 [2] h…
