On my personal list of the top ten science fiction novels of the last twenty years. Still re-read it every now and then.

Can you be more specific about how how her viewpoints create problems for you as a science educator? (I am speaking specifically about her content relevant to physics/particle phys…

Aerospace specific software that goes to space or code that just happens to go to space as part of bigger projects? Here are a couple of the former: RTEMS https://www.rtems.org/ Co…

For those interested in CAN bus for UAVs, there is https://github.com/uavcan as well.

For node, there is https://github.com/fluent-ffmpeg/node-fluent-ffmpeg .

I’m curious to know if they ever looked at https://github.com/Microsoft/napajs from Microsoft or any other in-nodejs solutions to deal with the need for multithreading vs launching…

For anyone interested, here is a sampling of available ML libs in JavaScript. The first two, including tensorflow.js, are sub-libraries of the major ML projects, and the others are…

How does Cloud Functions for Firebase handle node modules with native code add-ons?

You do realize that Python was not only built to appeal to "non-devs" as well ad devs but, does, in fact, enjoy some of its strongest support from them- scientists, engineers, stat…

Depending on your use case, you can also use ES6 features on AWS Lambda by embedding another node version in your zip package. You then use the lambda supported version of node to …

On a somewhat interesting note: transferable objects work similarly in web workers. There have been complaints, of course, that this makes it impossible to take advantage of shared…

I think this is the best article I've read about stream processing yet. Love how all of the related concepts are tied together and how concepts in one form of stream processing nat…

The author's terrorism concerns are way overblown and the reasoning supporting them specious, but there is a more basic issue with hypersonic point-to-point transportation systems …

In a similar way, a separate marketing tech team can also create tension with the rest of the developers when marketing gains control over various parts of a site/service due to cl…

Great work. This is exactly what I had been idly wondering about yesterday as I was setting up a new project that uses PM2. Does this obviate the need for pm2-interface, or will th…

How does the binary support/performance and streaming support (with socket.io-stream) compare to other web socket libs like https://github.com/binaryjs/binaryjs , https://github.co…

I already commented on a different thread about the Flux architecture, but I'll state it again here: Flux seems like a slightly more constrained, perhaps less effective way of doin…

After reading the above article, I can see how Facebook ended up with their current approach, but it seems to me that Flux is a roundabout and possibly inferior way of using state …

This is fantastic. I've been reading through bunches of patents lately doing research for a project and this actually made laugh out loud.

Why do authors and publishers of articles like this, which invariably turn out to be about medical knowledge/studies/research, resort to using the misleading, incredibly broad word…

While cutting time in the air by half may not make a fundamental difference, cutting it by five or six times could. Point-to-point sub-orbital services have the potential to do thi…

Nicely done. 3D Product previews seem like a good use of CSS transforms.

I had a negative reaction when I first saw the string literal syntax, but after reading through your docs I can see the appeal. Using the Harmony syntax seems like it could be a bi…

But it's unclear if this is what "everyone else" wants as well. The most interesting group, I think, is not the mostly tech-illiterate who want to store their garden pictures and v…
