luox
An open-source, open-access web platform implementing international standards for the quantification of light
<p>Light exposure is not only important for seeing the world around us, it is also a key driver for health and well-being. The quantification of light, particularly in parameters relevant for humans, is subject to international consensus documents developed by the International Commission on Illumination (abbreviated as CIE = Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage). This includes quantities for the intensity of light exposure (e.g., illuminance, measured in lux) or indices of how well a light source renders colours (e.g., Rf). The CIE provides various spreadsheet-based tools for calculating these quantities from spectral measurements of radiant energy. Here, we present and discuss the open-source and open-access web platform luox, which was developed with researchers in mind to simplify the process of calculating relevant aspects of light exposures in experiments with human participants. We specifically focus on the challenges of translating written documents and equations into a web based platform using ES6 and ReactJS.</p>

<p>Time tracking is a task many people have to deal with. Be it for writing bills for your client, creating time reports for your company, or simply because you are curious what you are doing with your time all day. Timewarrior is a tool that lets you track your time easily from the command line – it does its job then gets out of your way.</p>

<p>As a means of enabling distributed collaboration, open-source enables people from many different disciplinary backgrounds to participate in research projects to which they would otherwise not have access. Additionally, open-source allows for reconfigurable expertise, or the ability to combine people from different backgrounds in ways depending on the task at hand. This talk will discuss the challenges associated with spontaneous interdisciplinary, in addition to opportunities provided by ...

<p>A desktop thermometer that displays relative humidity is useful, but it does not provide continuous monitoring. In comes the Raspberry Pi: it is small, inexpensive, and has many sensor options, including temperature and relative humidity. It can collect data around the clock, do some alerting, and forward data for analysis.</p>

<p>Jupyter notebook is a tool that allows Data Scientist to analyse dataset. However, it is not easy to create a custom user interface integrated in an existing application.</p> <p><code>Jupyter React</code>, https://github.com/datalayer/jupyter-react, an open-source library, fills that gap and provides components that a developer can easily integrate in any React.js application.</p>

<p><strong>C%</strong> (from "C with mods") is an experimental meta-programming language that aims to make coding in C more efficient and fun!</p> <p>Together with <strong>cmod</strong>, the reference pre-processor/code generator (written using <strong>C%</strong> itself), this project enables the C programmer with generic meta-programming constructs such as: parameterized verbatim code snippets, mapping code to static data tables (in TSV or JSON format), multi-pass code evaluation (allowing ...

<p>qbe is an optimizing compiler backend which consumes programs in a simple intermediate language, optimizes them, and emits assembly for x86_64, aarch64, or riscv64, aiming to achieve "70% of the performance" of advanced compilers like LLVM in "10% of the code". This talk will briefly introduce qbe and its intermediate language, explain how it works and what it's capable of, and go over some sample programs which can be written in it.</p>

<p>InterPlanetary Wheels (IPWHL) are platform-unique, singly-versioned Python built distributions backed by IPFS for security and reproducibility. Using the peer-to-peer file system IPFS, the distributions have the advantage of being easily replicated and not having a single point of failure, thus are more resilient. While this project targets at Python package in particular, the idea can be similarly applied to other software distributions such as Linux distributions.</p>
