Despite the availability of many excellent books and scientific articles and daily discussions on comp.lang.fortran, information about modern Fortran programming is sometimes difficult to find. There is a need for something that changes faster than books, papers, and documentation, but is more persistent and organized than a newsgroup. The Fortran Wiki aims to fill this void. Its mission is to provide an open and community-driven venue for documenting and discussing all aspects of the Fortran language, from compilers and standards and best practices and design patterns.

V3 SNOWLeo SDR is a low-cost open source software defined radio platform based on Xilinx ZYNQ SoC and MYRIAD RF module. It include Giga Ethernet, USB OTG, HDMI, SDIO and USB-UART. SNOWLeo SDR is equipped an MYRIAD module that support 300MHz~3.8GHz, 28MHz BW application, such as WiFi, LTE or WiMax.

Radare project started as a forensics tool, an scriptable commandline hexadecimal editor able to open disk files, but later support for analyzing binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote gdb servers, ..

The Purely Functional Package Manager

Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix (including OS X) systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. It provides atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of build environments.

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).

The firmware for airspy will be released once it is cleaned up.

This is the first half of a two-part blog post that is motivated-by and mostly "about" two software ecosystems I've been poking around at recently. The first (and subject of this post) is I'll roughly call "interactive scientific Python", which includes primarily SciPy/SymPy/NumPy, IPython, and Sage; the second (subject of next post) is a new interactive scientific language Julia, which has a lot of complicated and subtle relationships with the former. If you hate Python, skip this post because it is really just background for why I care about the fate of a few Python packages.

HelenOS is an open-source microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch. It runs on several different CPU architectures (IA-32, x86-64, SPARC V9, IA-64, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS). HelenOS prides in portability, modularity, clean design and coding style.

It does not mimic any existing system and it is not meant to be POSIX-compliant or UNIX-like at all. Just as an example, HelenOS does not support fork().
