trying to introduce people to Bayesian reasoning is that the existing online explanations are too abstract. Bayesian reasoning is very counterintuitive. People do not employ Bayesian reasoning intuitively, find it very difficult to learn Bayesian reason
"As any die-hard Trekkie knows, if you are wearing a red shirt and beam to the planet with Captain Kirk, you're gonna die. That's the common thinking, but I decided to put this to the test."
AnarchistU brings together those who want to share their passion and interest in something and those who want to learn about it. We try to build free education that works against the traditional power hierachies of institutions and teacher/student relationships.
a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is like VMware or Virtual PC, CoLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and
a versatile Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C and C++ on GNU/Linux. It has been written for GTK/GNOME and features a number of advanced programming facilities. (same as http://anjuta.org/)
introduced by Marco Dorigo in 1992 in his PhD thesis, is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. They are inspired by the behavior of ants in finding paths from the colony to food.
quickly compares multiple documents searching for copied and pasted fragments of text. Suspicious findings are reported in the convenient format that shows just what you need to see. Plain text, HTML files, and numerous word-processing formats supported
a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing Java, C#, C++, or Python actions. It provides excellent support for tree construction, tree walking, and translatio
database contains the most up to-date declarations taken from the most current Windows XP header files: 6 500 declarations for functions and 55 000 constants
a runtime verification tool used in testing applications for compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP. This tool can be used to test for a wide variety of known compatibility issues while the application is running.
a GIS data viewer as well as an excellent vehicle for publishing your data. You can distribute the ArcExplorer setup and your data on CDs. Users can then use the CD to install ArcExplorer on their machines and view your data easily and effectively. And be
an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
a lightweight, efficient and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE),
Introducing the (IBM/Sony/Toshiba) Cell Processor, "consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores."
allows you to grab that file to watch at a more convenient time. First find the address of the streaming file that you'd like to capture, and then download and store the Windows Media file (.asx, .wmx., or .wmvt) onto your hard drive or removable media.
Biomimicry & Taxonomy. "Nature's elegant solutions to building challenges include the Scots pine's adaptive growth, the thorny devil's passive water collection, and a leaf's on-site energy production. AskNature can help you solve your design challenges. "
complete x86/x64 JIT Assembler for C++ language. It supports FPU, MMX, 3dNow, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and SSE4 intrinsics, powerful compiler that helps to write portable functions for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) architectures. AsmJit can be used to create functions at runtime that can be called from existing (but also generated) C/C++ code.
by Mark Larson. "The most important thing to remember is to TIME your code. Trying different tricks might or might not speed up your code. So it is very important to time your code to see if you do get a speedup as you try each trick."
a script-based vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output.
a simple way to read and write information on the web, allowing you to easily keep track of more sites in less time, and to seamlessly share your words and ideas by publishing to the web.
Atom in its final state will be a massively multi-player online 3D first person perspective game set in a atomic or microscopic cell. (not as optimistic as the author but cool information there)
a high-level audio API. It can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files. For audio output, Audiere supports DirectSound or WinMM in Windows, OSS on Linux and Cygwin, and SGI AL on IRIX
