Issue 13555: cPickle MemoryError when loading large file (while pickle works) - Python tracker

Issue 13555: cPickle MemoryError when loading large file (while pickle works) - Python tracker: "Well, replace cPickle by pickle and it works.

cPickle makes some direct call to malloc()/realloc()/free(), contrarily to pickle which uses pymalloc. This could lead to heap fragmentation."

I²S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I²S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "I2S, also known as Inter-IC Sound, Integrated Interchip Sound, or IIS, is an electrical serial bus interface standard used for connecting digital audio devices together. It is used to communicate PCM audio data between integrated circuits in an electronic device. The I2S bus separates clock and serial data signals, resulting in a lower jitter than is typical of communications systems that recover the clock from the data stream."

weka - Making predictions: "Classifiers
After a model has been saved, one can make predictions for a test set, whether that set contains valid class values or not. The output will contain both the actual and predicted class. (Note that if the test class contains simply '?' for the class label for each instance, the "actual" class label for each instance will not contain useful information, but the predicted class label will.) The "-T " command-line switch specifies the dataset of instances whose classes are to be predicted, while the "-p " switch allows the user to write out a range of attributes (examples: "1-2" for the first and second attributes, or "0" for no attributes). Sample command line:

java weka.classifiers.trees.J48 -T unclassified.arff -l j48.model -p 0"

Should You Commit Your Dependencies?

Should You Commit Your Dependencies?: "There are a few cases where you should never commit dependencies. When your code is a third-party component, when this code is registered as a dependency in other applications, then committing dependencies clearly doesn't work. Some dependencies require compilation, they are not portable. In this case, you can't commit them. Some dependencies, once installed, have very large elements. GitHub triggers a warning for files larger than 50MB. If you depend on a large .jar for instance, you're out of luck."

How even agile development couldn't keep this mega-project on track | ZDNet

How even agile development couldn't keep this mega-project on track | ZDNet: "Touted as the world's biggest agile software project, the £2.4bn Universal Credit programme was supposed to showcase how the software methodology could be used on a grand scale.

But two years after the project — intended to create an IT system that would underpin a major reform the UK welfare system — got under way, crack began to show as it ran over time and over budget.

According to a report by the government watchdog the NAO published last week, the UK government has had to write off at least £34m on the programme and delay the national launch for the project. The department in charge of the project, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), can't guarantee the remainder of the £303m it has spent on the project so far will offer "good value" it said.

beta.sewreview.com - Blog and News: Fiber Optic Fabric: "This technology allows to wave plastic optical fibers alongside synthetic fibers, forming a luminous fabric. The luminous fabric is similar to a synthetic fabric (it can be sewn, hand washed,…), except that it can emit light when connected to a specific electronic module. This electronic module can be powered either by a disposable or rechargeable battery, or by a small mains transformer (for non wearable items).

Unlike standard optical fibers, the fiber optic fabric emits light along the full lenght of the fibers.
