It's also the national language of Bangladesh. Once a language has become the official language of a recognized country it can hardly be considered a "niche" language.

India has two "official languages" used across the country in business, government, and education: Hindi and English. There are also more widely used regional languages recognized by state governments, such as Tamil, Gujarati, Pun

That's cool and all, but maybe we should make sure kids have the basics down first. An elementary school in my town had an attachment for sixth graders being held back from advancing to middle school because they were functionally illi

It allows you to flatten the bamboo out so that the weight is more distributed. Look at the pictures in the article under "Field Observation". There are simpler varieties that aren't flattened, but if you look at the poor blo

You are seriously underestimating the differences in labor and material costs. Steps for making a curved wooden yoke 1. Cut down a tree 2. Saw out a rectangular cross-section 3. Cut out rough outline of the curved pole 4. Whittle it down to

Yeah, the article really needs to specify what its definition of "megacity" is. The YRD is a patchwork of many different cities, towns, and villages, some parts of which are substantially less urban that others. If you take the tr

The article says it is not allowed to connect to the larger internet, so you can't access it from outside Cuba.

Except for the fact that it has the tacit approval of the authorities and is monitored by volunteers for pornography or political discussions. The Xnet system in "Little Brother" was feasible because it was working on top of a wel

What on earth were the kids' parents thinking? You would think they'd be somewhat wary about buying a wild animal known for spreading disease to be a pet for their children.

The ZPU is designed to use as few FPGA resources as possible. So if you're looking for something to just do a little bit of control logic to tie things together, it probably is the way to go. Rocket on the other hand is a full-fledged

If you have a Xilinx FPGA, you can program our newly released Rocket core onto it and play around. https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket-chip We don't have a production-quality SoC out, so "practical use" is

A significant portion of that age group is still in school, hence not employed nor unemployed. They should really just show the unemployment rate, not the employment rate. But yeah, the median income drop and poverty rate increase is pretty

It would be pretty hard to completely hide something that big considering many Hong Kongers have relatives living on the mainland and vice-versa. Unless they completely close off the internal border and sever all communication lines, word i

The DE1-SoC is definitely worth it for the ARM HPS. A hard processor which can run Linux attached to an FPGA is a very powerful combination. Check out http://zhehaomao.com/project/2014/01/02/fpga-series.h

As the article mentions, Buddhist monks in East Asia these days mostly don't follow the ascetic lifestyle of days past. They smoke, drink, eat meat. Some of them may even marry.

Yeah, but both of those are command line tools. You don't have to know Haskell in order to use them. You don't even need to know that they are written in Haskell if your distro provides binary packages.

Console makers will sign deals giving you advance funding if you promise to make the game exclusive to their platform.

Well this will be used for totally legitimate purposes I'm sure.

The high food costs are because Japan imports most of its food. I don't think these indoor farms are meant to compete with the existing farms (which mostly grow rice, one of few agricultural products which Japan is a net exporter of),

So what happened to the original idea? The patch that takes blood measurements while administering a drug? I can see how the current business is an extension of that original idea, but the article never states what became of the original. D

To be fair, searching it in Google also gives TLDP pages as the top results. I think TLDP just has better SEO.

That was untrue even then. Even if no individual userspace program was multi-threaded or multiprocess, you still get a benefit from being able to run multiple programs at the same time (and not just time-shared on a single core).

I suppose you could, in practice, write modules for simulation in C or C++ and hook it up to the C++ code that the compiler generates. I doubt this is very useful in practice since you can't generate any Verilog from it.
