Can someone explain the advantage of compiling to C instead of compiling to LLVM-IR? I have seen more languages that compile to C than to LLVMIR. It seems to me that there are a lot of advantages in using LLVM but I fail to see the advantag

If you are interested in image processing I recommend Digital Image Processing by Gonzalez and Woods. Great introduction to image processing. EDIT: Added title. I can't believe I googled the title to make sure I had the correct authors

Shameless plug: I wrote a firefox addon that simulates synesthesia by wrapping every character in a span and in a class and adding CSS to assign colors based on its class. It may break some sites. https://addons.mozilla.org/

I would suggest you start with reading "Signal Processing and Linear Systems" by Lathi (great book, had it on a course) so that you gain some understanding on signal processing. After understanding filters, and frequency analysis,

Why are we seeking solutions like this? Because by investing in them, we can also make money by selling the solution / services / patents to governments. Why don't we instead focus on reducing society's consumption? Beca

I have always wanted a firefox add-on that would make each letter a different colour consistently to test this theory. I know "If you want it, then make it"... Maybe this summer.

Sorry, I study at the UofA and we have a "software option" within the Computer Engineering program. Students graduating from this branch will get the iron ring. I just assumed that Software Engineers elsewhere got them too.
