Post-tech. Post-tech, (or post-technology, post-digital-technology) is type of technology that is more concerned about being human than about technology. It advocates a design that is not merely focused on efficiency and exploiting users by increasing their time spent with digital devices and technology itself but to support the user's focus and intent, well-being, and independence (from technology). With this interstitial spaces could also be created, similar to what Michel Foucault describes as Heterotopia (space).

The Computer Language Benchmarks Game. The Computer Language Benchmarks Game (formerly called The Great Computer Language Shootout) is a free software project for comparing how a given subset of simple algorithms can be implemented in various popular programming languages.

The project consists of:

 A set of very simple algorithmic problems
 Various implementations to the above problems in various programming languages
 A set of unit tests to verify that the submitted implementations solve the problem statement
 A framework for running and timing the implementations
 A website to facilitate the interactive comparison of the results

Supported languages
Due to resource constraints, only a small subset of common programming languages are supported, up to the discretion of the game's operator.

Metrics
The following aspects of each given implementation are measured:
 overall user runtime
 peak memory allocation
 gzip'ped size of the solution's source code
 sum of total CPU time over all threads
 individual CPU utilization

It is common to see multiple solutions in the same programming language for the same problem. This highlights that within the constraints of a given language, a solution can be given which is either of high abstraction, is memory efficient, is fast, or can be parallelized better.

Benchmark programs
It was a design choice from the start to only include very simple toy problems, each providing a different kind of programming challenge.
This provides users of the Benchmark Game the opportunity to scrutinize the various implementations.

History
The project was known as The Great Computer Language Shootout until 2007.

A port for Windows was maintained separately between 2002 and 2003.

The sources have been archived on GitLab.

There are also older forks on GitHub.

The project is continuously evolving. The list of supported programming languages is updated approximately once per year, following market trends. Users can also submit improved solutions to any of the problems or suggest testing methodology refinement.

Caveats
The developers themselves highlight the fact that those doing research should exercise caution when using such microbenchmarks:

Impact
The benchmark results have uncovered various compiler issues. Sometimes a given compiler failed to process unusual, but otherwise grammatically valid constructs. At other times, runtime performance was shown to be below expectations, which prompted compiler developers to revise their optimization capabilities.

Various research articles have been based on the benchmarks, its results and its methodology.

Steven's Croft power station. Steven's Croft is a wood-fired power station near Lockerbie in Scotland. It started energy production in 2008. It is operated by E.ON and produces 44 MW of electricity, burns 60% waste from timber production, 20% coppiced wood, and 20% recycled fibre. It claims to save 140,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year. It uses 480,000 tonnes of fuel per year to produce 126 MW of thermal energy, and the boiler is optimised to run at 537 °C and  of pressure. Aqueous wastes are dispersed using a wetland filtering system.

Julian W. Hill. Julian W. Hill (1904-1996)  was an American chemist who helped develop nylon.

Early life
Julian W. Hill was born in 1904, and he grew up in Warrenton, Missouri. He graduated from the School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis in 1924, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, and he went on to earn a PhD in organic chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1928.

Career
Hill joined DuPont, where he worked as a chemist in the Experimental Station laboratories under Wallace H. Carothers's supervision. He initially studied polymers in the 1920s. By 1930, he had used a cold drawing method to produce a polyester. Hill's cold drawing method was used by Carothers in 1934 to develop the polyamide later named nylon, which was patented by DuPont and was a greater commercial success due to its higher melting point.

Hill was promoted to assistant director of the chemical department. He also served on DuPont's steering committee from 1932 to 1951. He became the Chair of DuPont's Committee on Educational Aid in 1951, and he helped fund academic programs in the United States until his retirement in 1964.

Personal life and death
Hill married Mary Louisa "Polly" Butcher, a Vassar College alumna, in 1931. They had two sons and a daughter. He had poliomyelitis. He retired at the Cokesbury Village retirement village in Hockessin, Delaware with his wife, where he died on January 29, 1996.

Sagar Port. Sagar Port (Bengali: সাগর বন্দর) was a proposed seaport in Sagar Island, West Bengal, India to be built by the Government of India. IIT Madras prepared a detailed project report (DPR) for the port, involving studies for shore-protection, land reclamation and physical modeling for use of dredge material. Cost of the port build up was extimated to be ₹30 billion. The port was planned to have an initial capacity to handle 60 million tonnes of bulk and containerised cargo. After the proposal of Tajpur Port and due to unwillingness of Mamata Banerjee led Government of West Bengal, the project was stopped.

The reason for the construction 
Due to the decrease in navigability of the port of Kolkata, Haldia port has reduced the exports of the port. The reason for this is that a port of depth 10.5m is being constructed in the Sagardwip in West Bengal, where the depth of the Calcutta Port is 6 meters (20 ft) and the depth of the port of Haldia is 8 meters (26 ft).

Monetary approval 
The central government has sanctioned 5.15 billion rupees to make the proposed Sea Port project potentially financially. The approval of the government for the development of this port has been continuously being undertaken by the Union Shipping Ministry for the past two years. This project has been added to implement Bhore Sea Port Limited (BSPL). The Kolkata Port Trust and the West Bengal Government's share in the implementation of the entire project will be 74 percent and 26 percent respectively. Work has been done to increase connectivity and communication with the port. Construction of a road and rail bridge to connect the island of Sagar with the mainland has been proposed, Muriganga bridge over the Muriganga River.
Ganges bridge over the conglomerate of the river Ganges.

Detailed Project Report on National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIBL L) has been prepared on the basis of construction of roads and railways. The cost of construction of the bridge will be 18.22 billion.  The work of connecting this road and rail bridge with the national highways and rail network has started in full swing. Under the scheme, the National Road Transport and Highways Department has agreed to convert the National Highway Number 117 to a four-lane road. This four-lane road will be expanded from Kakdeep to Joka, from the Sagardwip railway to the road bridge. The Railway Board has approved the necessary surveys to connect this port to the mainland railway network.

Pipi Natural Bridge. The Pipi Natural Bridge is geological formation near Ouadda in the Haute-Kotto prefecture of the Central African Republic in which the Pipi River, a tributary of the Kotto River, has carved out a gorge in the sandstone terrain forming a natural arch. The sandstone arch is a single slab of sandstone, whose top is nearly  above the water level. Although it is not known how it was formed, the surrounding terrain offers some clues. It is suspected that the top of the bridge was once part of the river bottom itself, as both the bridge and the current river bottom bear similar potholes. Upstream, rocky projections on the walls of the river gorge seem to suggest that a once-extant tunnel collapsed there. It has been suggested that the Pipi Natural Bridge is all that remains of that former tunnel.
