How do toy ducks help programmers debug code?

Some programmers use the duckling method to debug code. To do this, you need to put a toy duck on your desktop (or imagine it) and explain in detail line by line what the program should do. By resorting to this method, the programmer often encounters the desired error, which he did not notice when viewing the code in the development environment.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Smart surveillance camera with tracking function 25.12.2014

Amaryllo introduced Indiegogo the iCamPro FHD "intelligent" surveillance camera project with remote notification function.

The novelty is endowed with three motion sensors and a microphone, thanks to which it is able to detect the presence of an intruder anywhere in the room. When one of the sensors is triggered, iCamPro FHD automatically aims the lens at a moving object and starts tracking its movement. At the same time, a notification is sent to the smartphone of the owner of the dwelling.

The camera is equipped with two motors, due to which it can rotate 360 degrees. You can mount iCamPro FHD on a wall or ceiling. In the second case, the image is automatically rotated by 180 degrees. By the way, the video is recorded in Full HD with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The developers of the device have provided a light sensor and hidden infrared LEDs: thanks to this, the camera can switch between day and night modes. An integrated speaker allows for two-way communication.
Data exchange with the user's mobile gadget is carried out through the home Wi-Fi network. The footage can be stored on a microSD card or transferred directly to the Google Drive cloud. A companion mobile app exists in both Android and iOS versions.

The project participants stated that the goal of the crowdfunding campaign was a symbolic amount of $1000. At the time of this writing, more than $160 has been raised, and funding will continue for about three more weeks. For now, iCamPro FHD can be reserved for $150.
