From <http://cran.R-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#What-is-R_003f>:
R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of
a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger,
access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs
stored in script files.
The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows branching
and looping as well as modular programming using functions. Most of the
user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is possible for the user
to interface to procedures written in the C, C++, or FORTRAN languages
for efficiency. The R distribution contains functionality for a large
number of statistical procedures. Among these are: linear and generalized
linear models, nonlinear regression models, time series analysis, classical
parametric and nonparametric tests, clustering and smoothing. There is also
a large set of functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for
creating various kinds of data presentations. Additional modules ("add-on
packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes.
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the
following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
The last.fm fingerprint library
The fingerprinting process works in two steps:
1. Get PCM data and pass it to *fplib* which will return byte string to be
submitted to the last.fm HTTP fingerprint service. This will return a number
(fingerprintID).
2. Query the last.fm API with the fingerprintID and obtain the metadata in xml
format.
The lastfmfpclient directory contains an example of application that uses fplib
and queries both services.
Dlume is nice, gtk2-based addressbook. You can easily add, edit
and delete records to/from database (but Dlume doesn't rely on an outside
database - It stores your contacts in XML format). The Quick-search
feature allows you find required entry in comfortable way. Export to
CSV and HTML formats is also available. Interface design was borrowed
and improved from Paddress (http://paddress.sourceforge.net).
Minion is a job queue for the Mojolicious real-time web framework with support
for multiple backends, such as DBM::Deep and PostgreSQL.
A job queue allows you to process time and/or computationally intensive tasks
in background processes, outside of the request/response lifecycle. Among those
tasks you'll commonly find image resizing, spam filtering, HTTP downloads,
building tarballs, warming caches and basically everything else you can imagine
that's not super fast.
A highly-available key value store for shared
configuration and service discovery. etcd is
inspired by zookeeper and doozer, with a focus on:
* Simple: curl'able user facing API (HTTP+JSON)
* Secure: optional SSL client cert authentication
* Fast: benchmarked 1000s of writes/s per instance
* Reliable: Properly distributed using Raft
Etcd is written in Go and uses the raft consensus
algorithm to manage a highly-available replicated log.

The ezpyinline is a pure python module which requires almost no setup to
allows you put C source code directly "inline" in a Python script or module,
then the C code is automatically compiled and then loaded for immediate access
from Python.
ezpyinline is forked from PyInline (http://pyinline.sourceforge.net/)
but aim to be as easy as possible and do all the magics for you.
This module allows you to get the public suffix of a domain name using
the Public Suffix List from http://publicsuffix.org
A public suffix is one under which Internet users can directly register names.
Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us.
Accurately knowing the public suffix of a domain is useful when handling web
browser cookies, highlighting the most important part of a domain name in a
user interface or sorting URLs by web site
Ddate prints the date in Discordian date format.
If called with no arguments, ddate will get the current system date, convert
this to the Discordian date format and print this on the standard output.
Alternatively, a Gregorian date may be specified on the command line, in the
form of a numerical day, month and year.
