Sciter is a very nice engine with a solid API/SDK and rock solid engineering behind it. For developers building efficient UI apps it can be a real alternative method to things like electron or as a lighter alternative to QT with QML sc

I remember reading Introduction to VLSI when I was a student and it is still one of my favourite books. I always thought of Carver Mead and Lynn Conway as electrical engineering and computer science magicians who not only invented a new typ

This is a good article about the gaps that are hit between going from Laptop to something larger when your problem doesn't quite need a super computing cluster i.e. the intermediate stage that many scientists and researchers go through

This looks awesome. I really like Tonyg's actor library for Squeak so this is great to see and will be definitely following this closely. Neilv's old DrRacket on pmOS also looks very interesting. Ok - Time to take another look at

@S1mon - I think that is unfair, though he is a first class media hacker and quote giver. He has had a high-ish industry profile from his time as a developer at Atari Research in the early 1980s. He, Thomas Zimmerman and Mitch Altman et al

Just a note to say Tribblix is a fantastic Illumos distribution that works well on AWS. Peter Tribble deserves much applause for maintaining this. If you are curious re: Illumos and need a place to start - Tribblix is a good one. Have fun.

While most Modelica's applications are primarily engineering related, it is used for stock and flow models and there are some folks digging into use it for economic modeling (as there are others using it for environmental and biologica

You can plot variable outputs in 2D and 3D plots, use values to drive simulation based animations (2D and 3D) and via Functional Mockup interface standard (fmi-standard.org) you can interconnect external simulations and interactive visualiz

This is a great overview of Modelica. For those looking to get started - check out OpenModelica ( https://openmodelica.org/ ) and if you are curious how to approach deploying and using Modelica in web services the article&#x2

Re: Drones - not in the sense I think you are imagining, but you can pull data from some of the mining equipment and I have seen 3D scanners mounted in situ at test sites to capture specifics. (it didnt work well - got remodelled later). Th

Assuming you mean Simulink rather than Matlab its not quite a direct alternative. You can use Modelica and Simulink for modeling the same type of problems but they use different modeling approaches. Simulink uses cuasal modeling, where sign

Firstly - call out to Dave Winer - his work on outliners and RSS have both proven incredible useful, influential and long lasting. Is RSS dead? No not by a long shot. Is it as visible as it was in bloggings early days nearly 20 years ago wh
