Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories - How to make the simplest elect We’re pleased to announce the availability of the Egg-Bot Electro-Kistka: An electric hot wax pen designed to be used with the EggBot. A kistka is the wax tool used in the traditional wax-resist and dye (batik) method to produce colorful eggs in the same fashion as Ukranian pysanky. We would like to acknowledge that this is not by any means the first time that anyone has strapped a kistka to an EggBot— We wrote about Ann’s DIY version a few months ago, and we’ve seen other versions (both manually heated and electric) in YouTube videos dating back several years. Hardware The Electro-Kistka consists of two main parts, connected by a cable: A heater assembly that gets mounted to the EggBot’s pen arm (in place of the usual pen holder), and a power control board that sits behind the EggBot. The power control board is relatively simple: it accepts input from a plug-in power supply, and has an adjustment pot so that you can set the power level of the kistka. Process: two-tone
PIKT System Monitoring, Configuration Management Software RAY KURZWEIL - That Singularity Guy - Vice Magazine In the year 2050, if Ray Kurzweil is right, nanoscopic robots will be zooming throughout our capillaries, transforming us into nonbiological humans. We will be able to absorb and retain the entirety of the universe’s knowledge, eat as much as we want without gaining weight, shape-shift into just about any physical form imaginable, live free from disease, and die at the time of our choosing. All of this will be thrust on us by something that Kurzweil calls the Singularity, a theorized point in time in the not-so-distant future when machines become vastly superior to humans in every way, aka the emergence of true artificial intelligence. These grand-scale premonitions are largely based on Kurzweil’s law of accelerating returns, which states that the development of technology has been increasing exponentially since the beginning of time. Sure, but most of the folks I know who’ve been laid off in the past six months won’t be able to afford the next iPhone. Creepy.
Google platform Google's first production server rack, circa 1998 The Google platform refers to the computer software and large hardware resources Google uses to provide their services. This article describes the technological infrastructure behind Google's websites as presented in the company's public announcements. Hardware[edit] Original hardware[edit] The original hardware (circa 1998) that was used by Google when it was located at Stanford University included:[1] Sun Microsystems Ultra II with dual 200 MHz processors, and 256 MB of RAM. Production hardware[edit] According to Google their global data center operation electrical power ranges between 500 and 681 megawatts.[6][7] The combined processing power of these servers might have reached from 20 to 100 petaflops in 2008.[8] Network topology[edit] In order to run such a large network with direct connections to as many ISP as possible at the lowest possible cost Google has a very open peering policy.[12] Project 02[edit] Summa papermill[edit] Index[edit]
Livrez plus vite que votre ombre | OCTO talks ! Agile comme Lean partagent un objectif : réduire les temps de cycle. Or, livrer une version en production est souvent une opération chère. L’objectif de la livraison continue est de réduire au maximum ce coût. Qu’est ce que c’est ? Flickr was last deployed 16 hours ago, including 5 changes by 2 people. source : page technique de flickr Livrer en continue, cela signifie être capable de déployer à tout moment une nouvelle version sur un environnement de production. Pourquoi voudrais-je faire ça ? Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. source : 1e principe Agile Pour de nombreuses raisons. Dès qu’une fonctionnalité est développée, elle peut désormais être soumise à l’utilisateur. Vous baissez ainsi la courbe d’apprentissage de votre logiciel : les utilisateurs apprennent les nouvelles fonctionnalités petit à petit. Plus vous livrerez fréquemment, plus votre processus de livraison devra être automatisé, et donc fiable. OK. OK.
