Yes, the combination would be interesting. Lot of projects in our new media/intermedia/interactive art lab use Arduino for interfacing with buttons, ultrasound sensor, pressure sensors and similar gizmos, while using normal PC for logic or

Arduino, while nice and useful (I used it more than once), it's much less than raspberrypi. Arduino's power comes from the community, nice IDE and a lot of examples that are easy to grasp even for someone who is not a CS major. It is wonder

Traditional way of teaching linear algebra is very abstract. But that's ok, or at least we use linear algebra in our CS programme as a way to teach abstract thinking, which is important for this subject. I would suggest that someone who has

I don't know about compression (though there's allegedly some research using fractals in video compression, but I have no idea if and how that works), but there is image pattern recognition method that is very similar. It's called Local Bin

I would guess lot of nginxes (nginxii?) on top of SAN / really big NAS. But I'm curious about that too. Unless you ask how they get porn, that is.
