H.264 is MPEG-4 Part 10. If I am not mistaken H.264 is only the video compression part, while MPEG-4 is full audio, video, and container.

Note he claims to have made two trips in one day. So make that a place where a 85 year old man can carry 20lbs. Also make it much less than 8 hours from the road.

You don't have to contribute via github you would just have to grant the project the rights needed to use github. GPL Java projects usually have a classpath exception added, now github projects need GPL with github exception.

To add to that the wikipedia page claims : "In Japanese, atari (当たり, あたり, or アタリ) is the nominalized form of ataru (当たる, あたる, or アタル) (verb), meaning "to hit the target" or "to receive something fortuitously". The w

Postgresql testing works the same way it has worked for the last 20-30 years. Each test consists of a SQL script, an expected result file, and a result file. A shell script runs the SQL script through the pg commandline, and dumps the re

It is really hit or miss. It takes a large city like Dallas to have a permanent farmers market. Smaller towns might have a month where they have a farmer's market every weekend, but nothing the rest of the year.

Ah, I see what you mean. [000, 001, 011, 111, 101, 100] is a grey code of length 6, so not power of two is possible. However trying to come up with an odd length code is a real head scratcher. It may not be possible in binary, but is eas

I worked in industrial automation controls for a while. There they used a concept called quadrature to determine servo movement precisely. Quadrature is basically a grey code of [00, 01, 11, 10] that is repeated. You know what direction y

As long as the code has adjacent entries vary by only one bit it is unnecessary to use them all. The author gives the example [110, 010, 011, 111] of a code that is valid but doesn't use all 2^n possibilities.

Learn 3. There is no point in learning a legacy system unless you need to support a legacy project. Even then start with 3 then learn the couple of things you need to do to support the older system.

One dose costs $4,000. A full treatment is more than one dose. That sounds like over 100 doses if all you do is pop some pills. If I had to guess it probably isn't 100 doses but you have to do other things like stay in a hospital duri

Rust prevents data races, OCaml/F# don't provide such guaranties. Though it isn't so much of a problem in OCaml since it doesn't have concurrent threads.
