   I have a pair of Enchroma CX Receptors and blogged a while back about my experience. http://madscientistlabs.blogspot.ca/2014/06/i-want-to-see-vi... Basically, I knew I was colorblind from a very young age. I&#x2

   Another study, this one from Canada supports this. "University of Saskatchewan researchers Ravi Chibbar and Pierre Hucl grew 37 varieties of wheat that date back to the 1860s and analyzed the nutrient composition in each sample. They f

   I'd like to hear more about the self-hosted option: when that might become available, estimated pricing, directory service integration, etc.

   Except that Broadcom released "full documentation for the VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of the graphics stack under a 3-clause BSD license" [1], enough to enable a blob-free graphics driver. Code has a

   Once you've got the data out of the console using methods I've outlined in other posts, getting the data to something like WU can be pretty simple. One fellow, working from some of the stuff I figured out, did it with a simple LU

   As another poster said, you can query the Vantage Vue (and VP2) directly, but the $295 LAN interface he mentioned is not a necessity. A cheap USB to serial adapter can be used to make a homebrew interface [1]. Beware thought that Davis ha

   "Our smartphones are becoming weather stations..." Only to a very limited extent. A phone is not going to give me rainfall data nor wind information. A phone will also skew temperature readings because the phone itself heats up

    I have a Davis Vantage VP2 station and reverse engineered the serial connection to the back of the console, the datalogger interface, and the wireless communications from the outdoor unit [1]. Using something like a $20 Moteino [2] (an Ard

    Subsurface, a program for divers, was another high-profile switch. High profile because Linus started it. If he and a bunch of other pretty smart kernel hackers can't figure out GTK, that says something. https://www.youtub

    I ported the five examples from an IBM Developerworks article on x86 assembler [0] and they all worked fine, but didn't fool around much beyond that. [0] http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-gas-nasm&#x

    I wrote a blog post a while back showing how Intel syntax can be used in gas, along with a number of examples. http://madscientistlabs.blogspot.ca/2013/07/gas-problems.htm...

    FASM is interesting because it has an extension that supports ARM as well. http://arm.flatassembler.net/ I don't count its fast compilation speed as much of a plus because you've got to write a heck of a lot of as

    You don't have to use AT&T syntax in GAS. I wrote a blog post a while back showing how you can use Intel syntax instead, and skip a whole lot of % characters while you are at it. http://madscientistlabs.blogspot.ca&#x2F

    I also use Okular. It has recently gotten support for keeping multiple documents in tabs rather than separate windows. However, I find it to be slow when searching big documents and slow to render large graphics in a page.
