References[edit] External links[edit] Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card-sized single-board computers developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools.[3][4][5] The original Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 are manufactured in several board configurations through licensed manufacturing agreements with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman. These companies sell the Raspberry Pi online.[6] Egoman produces a version for distribution solely in China and Taiwan, which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red colouring and lack of FCC/CE marks. The hardware is the same across all manufacturers. In 2014, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the Compute Module, which packages a BCM2835 with 512 MB RAM and an eMMC flash chip into a module for use as a part of embedded systems.[10] Hardware[edit] Processor[edit] Performance of first generation models[edit] Overclocking[edit] RAM[edit] Networking[edit] Peripherals[edit]

How long will it take to learn to play the piano? | ClassicalMel's Piano and Music Education Blog. How long will it take to learn the piano? This is a very difficult question to answer and it’s the one question that most prospective students always ask! Here are 5 key points to remember: 1. How much time do you have to dedicate to studying the piano? A child who is just starting to learn may only be able to concentrate for 10 minutes per day especially if they are only 5 or 6 years old. So progress may take time for youngsters; it can take a couple of years for them to grasp the basics. An adult on the other hand, will understand more swiftly and will be able to focus for at least 30 or 40 minutes a day. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Features[edit] Features of Mathematica include:[7] Interface[edit] The front end, designed by Theodore Gray, provides a GUI, which allows the creation and editing of Notebook documents containing program code with prettyprinting, formatted text together with results including typeset mathematics, graphics, GUI components, tables, and sounds. All contents and formatting can be generated algorithmically or interactively edited. Most standard word processing capabilities are supported. Documents can be structured using a hierarchy of cells, which allow for outlining and sectioning of a document and support automatic numbering index creation. The front end includes development tools such as a debugger, input completion and automatic syntax coloring. Wolfram Research has published a series of hands-on starter webcasts that introduce the user interface and the engine.[16] High-performance computing[edit] Deployment[edit] There are several ways to deploy applications written in Mathematica:

Comparison of Java and C++ Design aims[edit] The differences between the C++ and Java programming languages can be traced to their heritage, as they have different design goals. The different goals in the development of C++ and Java resulted in different principles and design tradeoffs between the languages. The differences are as follows : Language features[edit] Syntax[edit] Semantics[edit] Resource management[edit] Libraries[edit] C++ provides cross-platform access to many features typically available in platform-specific libraries.

Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth.

With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade.

Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation. Timeline: 50 Years of Hard Drives. Over the past five decades, hard drives have come a long way. Travel through time with us as we chronicle 50 milestones in hard-drive development--from product firsts to new technologies, and everything in between. 1956: IBM ships the first hard drive in the RAMAC 305 system. The drive holds 5MB of data at $10,000 a megabyte. The system is as big as two refrigerators and uses 50 24-inch platters. (For the full story and interviews with key players, read "The Hard Drive Turns 50. ") 1961: IBM invents heads for disk drives that "fly" on a cushion of air or on "air bearings. " 1963: IBM comes up with the first removable hard drive, the 1311, which has six 14-inch platters and holds 2.6MB. 1966: IBM introduces the first drive using a wound-coil ferrite recording head. 1970: General Digital Corporation (renamed Western Digital in 1971) is founded in California. 1978: First RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) technology patent is filed. 1980: IBM introduces the first gigabyte hard drive.

TED-Ed | Lessons Worth Sharing. Panorama. A 360-degree panorama with stereographic projection A panoramic view is also proposed for multi-media, cross-scale applications to outline overview (from a distance) along and across repositories. This so-called "cognitive panorama" is a panoramic view over, and a combination of, cognitive spaces.[2] Used to give a small shot of a wide area. Paintings[edit] Large scale installations enhance the illusion for an audience of being surrounded with a real landscape. Photographs[edit] 360 degree panorama picture of the center courtyard of the Sony Center at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.

Panoramic photography soon came to displace painting as the most common method for creating wide views. On rare occasions, 360° panoramic movies have been constructed for specially designed display spaces—typically at theme parks, world's fairs, and museums. One final form of panoramic representation is digital mapping generated from SRTM data. See also[edit] References[edit] Further reading[edit] Peak finder. How to Write a Letter.
