NASA engineer Edwin J. Saltzman noticed aerodynamic effects on his bike from passing trucks and created a test van to reduce drag, achieving a 52% reduction. His research led to common features on semi trucks, including aerodynamic fairings and rounded corners, improving fuel efficiency.
This project began with an attempt to write the fastest lisp interpreter I could in under 1000 lines of C. It snowballed from there as I kept trying to see if I could add powerful features with minimal code. At the same time I assembled a library of some of my favorite C code (by myself and others) to use as a base for a standard library. This includes ios, a replacement for parts of C's ...

A centipawn advantage is a measure of a chess engine's evaluation of a position, with 100 centipawns corresponding to a 50% chance of winning, and can be converted to Elo difference using a graph. The centipawn system models draws separate from wins and losses, unlike the Elo system, and is used to estimate probabilities of each outcome in a chess game.

The user explores the alternate timeline where microwave ovens replaced stoves, using Marie T. Smith's 1985 cookbook Microwave Cooking for One. They test various recipes, finding some successful and others problematic, and discuss the potential reasons why microwave cooking never reached its full potential in the real world.
The user created a system called QRTape that stores high-quality audio on a paper tape using QR codes and computer vision, replacing complex mechanical tape transports with a simple paper and cardboard design. The system uses a webcam to read the QR codes, which are encoded with audio data using the Opus codec, and can play back audio with decent quality.
The author built a web crawler to crawl 1 billion pages in 24 hours, achieving a cost of $462, and found that the state of the art has changed with more dynamic and heavier content on the web, but still accessible through HTML-only crawling. The author's design used a cluster of 12 highly-optimized nodes, each containing all crawler functionality, and identified parsing as a major bottleneck ...
