Last month Microsoft announced a new open source Windows Terminal! Today you can download the Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store! I’d recommend you PIN terminal to your taskbar and start menu, but you can run windows terminal from the command “wt” from Windows R or from anotherc console.

Physicist Dr. Helen Czerski takes us on an amazing journey into the science of bubbles. Bubbles may seem to be just fun toys, but they are also powerful tools that push back the boundaries of science. From the way animals behave to the way drinks taste, Dr. Czerski shows how bubbles affect our world in all sorts of unexpected ways.

The NSA’s Eugene Myers has begun contributing SMI Transfer Monitor (STM) implementation code for the x86 processor. Myers published a paper about STM last year on how NSA’s STM implementation could work. All Coreboot code, including all the STM contributions from the NSA, are open source, so anyone could verify that there is no backdoor in there — in theory.

What effect size is and why it is important

Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the British Educational Research Association, University of Exeter, England, 12-14 September 2002

Effect size is a simple way of quantifying the difference between two groups that has many advantages over the use of tests of statistical significance alone. For example, an effect size of 0.8 means that the score of the average person in the experimental group is 0.8 standard deviations above the average person in the control group, and hence exceeds the scores of 79% of the control group. Notice that an effect-size of 1.6 would raise the average person to be level with the top ranked individual in the control group, so effect sizes larger than this are illustrated in terms of the top person in a larger group.

Fist is a fast, lightweight, full-text search and index server. Fist stores all information in memory making lookups very fast while also persisting the index to disk. Fist is intended to be extremely easy to deploy and integrate into your application.

If you would like to request new features, file bug reports, or even submit pull requests, feel free to check out the Terminal repository on GitHub! Note for the GitHub community 👉 If you are building the Windows Terminal from the GitHub repository using the default build configuration, then the Microsoft Store version will run side-by-side your local build. We want to make the Terminal experience more inclusive and address issues and feature requests from users who rely on assistive technology.

Dr. Widder, the founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association, was part of the team of scientists that in 2012 recorded the first video of a giant squid swimming in its natural habitat, off Japan’s Ogasawara archipelago. Dr. Robinson, the director the Cape Eleuthera Institute in the Bahamas, had been watching the videos that Medusa recorded on its latest expedition — a 15-day journey through the Gulf of Mexico, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, and called Journey Into Midnight: Light and Life Below the Twilight Zone. As part of the expedition, Dr. Widder was putting her Medusa camera lure to the test, to see if it could capture another squid in a different part of the world.

(Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc is exploring using drones not just to deliver packages but also to provide surveillance as a service to its customers, according to a patent granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The delivery drones can be used to record video of consented user’s property to gather data that can be analyzed to look out, say for example, a broken window, or a fire or if a garage door was left open during the day, the patent described. According to the patent, the surveillance function of the drone can be limited through geo-fencing, a technology used to draw a virtual boundary around the property under surveillance.

C probably view holding Facebook’s new currency, Libra, as an alternative to putting money in the bank. If every Westerner held in Libra an amount equal to one-tenth of their bank deposits today, the new currency outstanding would be worth over $2trn. On the surface, the only obvious difference between the Libra Reserve and a narrow bank is that the former will hold assets denominated in a variety of (still-to-be-specified) currencies.
