   I use FreeBSD on a Thinkpad x201, I really love it. Newer thinkpads will probably be a bit problematic, or so I've heard. Currently on a zenbook w/ Linux because of problems related to UEFI boot.

   LuaJIT makes Lua stand out from Tcl, Python and others. But you really need to ask yourself if you need that performance. If you just need something to glue various components together I would suggest Tcl. Tcl's syntax makes it really

    Rate of descent is calculated from barometric pressure in a CYPRES. When a CYPRES is turned on, it calibrates itself and uses the current barometric pressure to determine the reference ground. When you enter an unpressurized aircraft and be

    AADs have barometric sensors. That works for skydivers because they zero it on the ground, they're in an unpressurized vessel and they always experience the same force vectors (with variations, belly vs. freefly &c). How would you

    I agree. These days, I tend to approach a persistency implementation by asking myself: * will it be read or write heavy? * by what data/key will I access the persistent data? Most commonly for the type of work that I do, it's writ

    Both Tcl and Node.JS are built around the concept of an event loop. The preffered way to do IO in both languages is to express your network application as a FSM with callbacks on state transitions. Of course event driven IO is not in any wa

    It's apt to compare Tcl to Node.JS because of the similar I/O-model. Tcl is slower than Node.JS (a broad statement, but e.g., it's not JITed), and the last time I checked Tcl's event loop was select-based and not epoll&#

    IIRC, "Turbo" was actually the normal clock frequency. Not having turbo-button enabled was mostly for things like games where the game speed was tied to the number of CPU ticks instead of absolute time. Turbo button sounds better

    I really like the go(1) approach of testing and profiling, and together with Docker and git it really makes for a easy-to-setup environment. Library-first (as opposed to framework-first), write your foo.go and foo_test.go, run go test -benc
