8 Reasons Why EVs are the Future of Transportation

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming a leader in the automotive industry. With increasing concerns about pollution levels worldwide and the rise and fall of gas prices, taking a greener approach to our transportation is the clear solution. If you’re intrigued by an ultra low cost, low emissions answer to our gas-guzzling vehicles, you’ll want to check out the below infographic created by Auto Loan Solutions. This informative and interesting infographic demonstrates the revolution of EVs, and how this evolved from a trend to reality. This infographic proves that concerns about the reliability or power of these vehicles have no basis. By 2040, EVs will make up 35% of new car sales. EV charging stations are becoming as readily available as gas stations – currently surpassing that of gas stations in Japan.

Building and evaluating Naive Bayes classifier with WEKA

This is a follow-up post from previous where we were calculating Naive Bayes prediction on the given data set. This time I want to demonstrate how all this can be implemented using the WEKA application. I highly recommend visiting their website and getting the latest release. WEKA is a compelling machine learning software written in Java. It is a widely-used and highly regarded machine learning software that offers a range of powerful data mining and modeling tools. It provides a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to both experienced and novice users. Weka offers a wide range of algorithms and data pre-processing techniques, making it a flexible and robust tool for various machine learning applications, such as classification, clustering, and association rule mining. You can find plenty of tutorials on youtube on how to get started with WEKA. So I won’t get into details. I’m sure you’ll be able to follow anyway.

The importance of HTML5 for web developers

Web developers value reliability, and HTML5 provides that. Gone are the days when Flash was a popular resource, as it gradually faded behind the power of HTML5. Later this year, Google is set to diminish its already tenuous relationship with Flash even further as HTML5 continues its growth in popularity among web developers.   We are going to take a look at why HTML5 is so popular and what it can be used for. We will also discuss the forthcoming Google move towards making HTML5 the default option when people visit a website and how this could be the beginning of the end for Flash.

Simple explanation of Naive Bayes classifier

Probably you’ve heard about Naive Bayes classifier, and likely used in some GUI-based classifiers like WEKA package. This is a number one algorithm used to see the initial results of classification. Sometimes surprisingly, it outperforms the other models with speed, accuracy and simplicity. Lets see how this algorithm looks and what does it do. As you may know algorithm works on Bayes theorem of probability, which allows to prediction the class of unknown data sets. Hoe you are comfortable with probability math – at least some basics.

Microgaming improving it’s software with much better probability script

Microgaming improving its software with much better probability script is ultimately going to help players worldwide. Gaming all comes down to probability. In many cases, people really cannot fight the odds or try to beat them. The odds for slot games are all completely random. People are never going to be able to ensure that they will be the ones who succeed at particular slot games. They will have to work to make sure that they bet their money responsibly because slots are just the sorts of games that will really give people unexpected outcomes. However, Microgaming improving its software with a much better probability script should make things better for players everywhere. This is really part of a greater move to make online gaming websites more user-friendly than they used to be, making a big difference for players worldwide. Many of these websites are making it easier for players to search for the games that they like. A lot of online gaming websites make it possible for people to find the games that have lots of wins or high payouts more easily if that is what they want. Some people prefer to bet on the slots that have many…

Refreshing your computer gear

The computer is probably number one place where we spend the most time. We usually use it for many things, including work, study, playing games, watching movies, and socializing with friends. It is essential to keep PC workplace comfortable and attractive. The computer itself needs refreshing from time to time. When it is still relatively new, I mean up to few years old; you may want to upgrade some parts like HDD, RAM, and Video card. They can revive PC to new performance level, but if you are looking for a more drastic change in performance, then you should think about getting new PC. But in most cases, simple upgrade gives a better feeling. Simple replacement of the magnetic hard drive with SSD will give you noticeable improvement. I think this step should be first on your list. You will get much faster boot time, faster loading applications, and quieter work. SSD, in my opinion, is also more reliable because there are no mechanical moving parts that can fail.

Example of enumeration c in microcontroller programming

Enumeration allows defining a user data types in C language. For this purpose, a #define pre-processor is used, which allows for describing a set of constants. They allow reading and understanding program code much easier as you may define human readable types. For instance, using pre-processor we can define a simple numbers to be as follows: Define is a powerful tool for doing many different definitions in pre-processing stage of source code, but in C language, there is an alternative way of defining a user data types –  enumerating using keyword enum: By default, enumeration assigns values from zero and up. You can use enumeration of new types as in following example: Also, you can use an enum  to assign special characters to meaningful words like this: enum escapes { BELL = ‘\a’, BACKSPACE = ‘\b’, HTAB = ‘\t’,RETURN = ‘\r’, NEWLINE = ‘\n’, VTAB = ‘\v’ };or enum boolean { FALSE = 0, TRUE }; An advantage of enum over #define is that it has scope, which means that the variable (just like any other) is only visible within the block it was declared. Example:
