Can you recommend a reading resource? I was looking for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 specifications, and to the best of my knowledge, they are behind a paywall. I will probably buy them if there is no other choice other than the specs.

I did not get a chance to play most of the late 90s and early 2000 games in my childhood. My second console after an NES clone is a PS4, and I always had run of the mill business computers. My father gifted me Age of Empires: the Rise of Ro

If some alien offers me this deal, I would rather not make a deal at all. I will fight and they have to kill me. But I will die knowing that I was free. There is some chance that I will accept the deal, just to buy more time and find weakne

Gir is semi-arid forest, but there was a time when lions lived in subtropical forests (that's what I wanted to say)

The Asiatic lions did inhabit Indian sub tropical forests not 200 years ago.

A nitpick: There is only one subspecies of tigers in India, commonly called the Bengal Tiger. It is found in India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

Starcraft BroodWar is very easily accessible for writing bots. Check out https://bwapi.github.io I encourage all the fellow SC players to experiment with it. (SC2 is a huge download, and thus I never moved to try it)

"The Scene" here also have a close relationship with the Demoscene, CrackmeScene and KeygenScene. These groups work/compete on challenging technical problems involving extreme and artistic programming. Almost all of these gro

If you do any physical activity in "wrong" way, you risk hurting your body in the long run. Like its fun to just waltz in a minefield, but sometimes learning from net personal experiance is worse than following advice from someone

"Yog" is a concatenation of all the things you do, and "Bhog" is the concatenation of consequences you get depending on your yog.

There are different schools of yog though. There is no single traditional Indian school. There are variants, that do infact promote high energy movements. Having said that, their observation is strict and mixing and matching them in single

On one end, I really like the open source movement; Having said that, I can't do anything but blame it for the slow pace of computer systems research. My reasoning is that the OS does not sell anymore (partly due to FOSS movement) and

In my eyes that would be a demotion of technology. They should instead do a Xerox Parc and invent newer/different kinds of hardware operating environments (and try to ship them too).

AIX is very unixy, though zOS looks pretty alien from it's description. I would love to work on zOS, but there is very little window of opportunity for that. I would love to see something like https://pharo.org/ bootin

I want more "kinds" of operating systems. It is ripe time to look forward to building ones not based on Unix, files, forks and execs. I want to explore different ideas which were not tested because Unix model became popular. There

There are two wildly different kinds of OOP. One based on Simula, Java and C++ and one based on Smalltalk, Ruby and CLOS. I would love to see more developments on the latter.

@pjmlp I am going to hijack this and ask you somewhat off topic question: Most of the OS books teach in a very Unix centered way. Can you recommend some books or resources which describe non-C non-Unixy Operating Systems? I really liked the
