Converting color temperature (Kelvin) to RGB.
The algorithm provides a high-quality approximation, but it’s not accurate enough for serious scientific use. It’s designed primarily for photo manipulation – so don’t try and use it for astronomy or medical imaging.
At the beginning of this year, Google Code shut down. Tarballs of archived projects will stay available until the end of the year, but after that the code will probably be gone forever.

The "save link" script does not appear to work on github, at least in Firefox/Windows. It works on Chrome/OS X.
Articles about software complexity. The sanos operating system and the PDP-11 emulator running under it are interesting too. http://www.jbox.dk/sanos/pdp11.htm
Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a) They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods such as great-circle distance which assume a spherical Earth.
The first (direct) method computes the location of a point which is a given distance and azimuth (direction) from another point. The second (inverse) method computes the geographical distance and azimuth between two given points. They have been widely used in geodesy because they are accurate to within 0.5 mm (0.020″) on the Earth ellipsoid.
Project Jupyter was born out of the IPython Project in 2014 as it evolved to support interactive data science and scientific computing across all programming languages.
A highly secure, comprehensive, easy-to-use replacement
for usernames, passwords, reminders, one-time-code

Lots of information about amateur radio, software defined radio. From the author of linrad, a software receiver for Linux (which also runs under Windows and OS X).
ATS is a statically typed programming language that unifies implementation with formal specification. It is equipped with a highly expressive type system rooted in the framework Applied Type System, which gives the language its name. In particular, both dependent types and linear types are available in ATS.
