Our great sponsors
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Datasets for education
For the last several months I have been using SPARQL Anything to triplify non-RDF and I've been blogging about it here. The post about Google Sheets might be a helpful intro. With SPARQL Anything you can triplify tabular and non-tabular data.

Array programming language(s) for 3d-graphics?
I blogged about CEPL a while back (for vim users). You can use the approach in my blog post even if you don't have hardware acceleration.

Coding in the Shadows: Hidden Gems of Lisp, Clojure, and friends
If you want to try out K, there are some open source implementations, like John Earnest's oK which has a REPL and a calculator-like interface for mobile phones with a charting feature.

Why Lisp Syntax Works
and have the programmer use the word "barchart", they instead prefer to use the definition itself. The word "barchart" has a specific meaning (here, an ascii "bar chart" of 0s and 1s, showing the relative sizes of the values of input array x), but "{x>\:!|/x}" might be useful for more than just bar charts. This idiom contains smaller idioms like "count til max" (!|/) which in turn contains "max" (|/).
Being able to see the code makes it easier to explore and tweak to your specific needs. But more importantly, there are no "official" names for concepts like "count til max". That's just my personal name for it. A python programmer would call it "range". You could come up with your own name for (!|/) that makes perfect sense to you. But that name will probably be longer than its definition, and less flexible.
