FlyWeb

"In short, FlyWeb provides an API for web pages to host local web servers for exposing content and services to nearby browsers. It also adds the ability to discover and connect to nearby local web servers to the web browser itself. This feature allows users to find and connect to nearby devices with embedded web servers such as printers, thermostats and televisions as well as local web servers hosted in web pages via the FlyWeb API.

Enabling web pages to host local servers and providing the ability for the web browser to discover nearby servers opens up a whole new range of use cases for web apps. With FlyWeb, we can finally reach a level of richness in cross-device interactions previously only attainable via native apps. In addition, the built-in service discovery feature in the browser offers device makers and hobbyists a new way to leverage existing web technologies for users to interact with devices across all platforms."

PiBakery

"The key feature of PiBakery is the ability to create a customised version of Raspbian that you write directly to your Raspberry Pi. This works by creating a set of scripts that run when the Raspberry Pi has been powered on, meaning that your Pi can automatically perform setup tasks, and you don't need to configure anything.

The scripts are created using a block based interface that is very similar to Scratch. If you've used Scratch before, you already know how to use PiBakery. Simply drag and drop the different tasks that you want your Raspberry Pi to perform, and they'll be turned into scripts and written to your SD card. As soon as the Pi boots up, the scripts will be run."

Leibniz Digital Scientific Notation

"Leibniz is an attempt to define a digital scientific notation, i.e. a formal language for writing down scientific models in terms of equations and algorithms. Such models can be published, cited, and discussed, in addition to being manipulated by software.

Although Leibniz can express algorithms, it is not a programming language. It is more similar to a specification language in that it allows to express what some program is supposed to compute."

Readable Lisp S-expressions Project

"The goal of this “Readable Lisp s-expressions” project is to develop, implement, and gain widespread adoption of more readable format(s) for the S-expressions of Lisp-based languages (such as Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, and Arc). We’ve done this by creating new abbreviations that can be added to existing readers. Curly-infix-expressions add infix expressions (in a Lispy way): {a op b ...} maps to (op a b ...). Neoteric-expressions also add more traditional function call notation: f(...) maps to (f ...). Finally, sweet-expressions also add deducing parentheses from indentation. You can choose a subset (e.g., you can just add infix expressions without using indentation)."

Global warming disaster could suffocate life on planet Earth, research shows

The response of the oceanic biota has been a relatively unknown factor until recently, when we discovered that the Great Barrier Reef is rapidly becoming the Doornail Barrier Reef.  If you want a positive spin, hope for the oxygen producers in the ocean to evolve to handle the massive temperature change, or perhaps for the Einstein and Bohr of biology to pave the way for genetic engineering to be a savior.

"Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on planet Earth than flooding, according to researchers from the University of Leicester.

A study led by Sergei Petrovskii, Professor in Applied Mathematics from the University of Leicester’s Department of Mathematics, has shown that an increase in the water temperature of the world’s oceans of around six degrees Celsius – which some scientists predict could occur as soon as 2100 - could stop oxygen production by phytoplankton by disrupting the process of photosynthesis."

Nonlinear climate sensitivity and its implications for future greenhouse warming

Nobody I know in the climate research community saw this coming five years - or even a couple of years - ago, or at least those who did buried it in denial.  Even the supposed worst-case scenario in the IPCC reports is almost certainly a low-ball joke.  The freight train is on the tracks and the throttle is stuck on full.  What the well-paid global warming deniers have been calling a hysterical worst-case scenario for a couple of decades is becoming in fact the exact Panglossian opposite.

"According to the current best estimate, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), if humans carry on with a “business as usual” approach using large amounts of fossil fuels, the Earth’s average temperature will rise by between 2.6 and 4.8 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

However new research by an international team of experts who looked into how the Earth’s climate has reacted over nearly 800,000 years warns this could be a major under-estimate.

Because, they believe, the climate is more sensitive to greenhouse gases when it is warmer.

In a paper in the journal Science Advances, they said the actual range could be between 4.78C to 7.36C by 2100, based on one set of calculations."
