This is awesome! It would also be really useful to have column indicating which open source license the project uses.

So the current toolchain involves using emscripten to generate asm.js and then using binaryen to convert asm.js to WebAssembly. Unfortunately emscripten depends on a fork of LLVM (FastComp), with no plans for a proper LLVM asm.js backend. A

"Microdebt" clearly does not solve poverty. This idea has always had its critics. It is distasteful at best to be a money lender to the poorest strata of humanity. Common wisdom tells us as much. But it is also common wisdom that

I recently asked an Intel chip designer if asynchronous circuits could be a way to deal with stalling of Moore's Law and he was adamant that asynchronous circuits are a "fantasy." His argument was that even though synchronous

This is really cool! Another fun way is to use a lathe (I guess that would be called "turning" a bowl rather than "carving" a bowl). Using a lathe would be much faster and wood lathes are relatively inexpensive.

This is a very good read, but I have to say that I managed to learn all of this 12 years ago before the term "Data Science" existed. It was quite easy as I was a statistics, comp sci and applied math "triple major." I do

I think it's easier to explain this in terms of likelihood theory. Likelihood is the probability of observed data GIVEN A SPECIFIC MODEL. This is NOT to be confused with the probability of a specific model being correct GIVEN THE OBSER
