Krome Project: Fill & Download for Free

Eh, I just saw this. As you may infer, I don't browse to Quora very often, and currently my life is VERY busy. So you can add me to the list, but I sure ain't* making any promises.I'm a language researcher, just retired from the Linguistic Data Consortium at the University of Pennsylvania, where I ran a project of annotating medical text in English and supervised annotators (of general text) in several languages that are not much taught in the US, like Tigrinya and Panjabi. Before that I was chief linguist at Dragon Systems, developers of DragonDictate and Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I wrote my dissertation on ASL (American Sign Language).Kaj kiel André ĵus memorigis al mi, mi parolas Esperanton flue; malpli flue la usonan gestolingvon (ASL), la francan, k la germanan; legas la latinan kaj iom la antikvan grekan; studis krome la rusan kaj sanskriton; kaj lernis diversgrade *pri* pli da lingvojn, ol mi povas kalkuli. ----- And as André has just reminded me, I speak Esperanto fluently; American Sign Language (ASL), French, and German rather less fluently; read Latin, and Ancient Greek to a degree; have also studied Russian and Sanskrit; and have learned different amounts *about* more languages than I can count.* "Amn't" isn't in my dialect.

I miss hoarding printed information (and to a lesser extent other forms of media)*. Sure, things are much, much more convenient and practical now with the Internet. But back before the Internet was mature, physically printed copies of things were the primary source of information. And while you could always go to the library if you didn't have some reference and wanted to look something up, that was time consuming. It meant stopping whatever else you were doing to make an actual, physical trip to a building full of books. And the more specific or arcane the reference you were after, the higher the chance that your local library wouldn't have it, especially if you lived in a small town. So if it was important enough, you might be making a special trip to the closest college library. If you actually had those references in your own personal library, you could pull a book off your shelf and find the information in a few minutes. It was an accomplishment to build up your library to have all those references.I was getting started in my career as an engineer right around this transition period. The Internet was around, and already pretty damn useful, but it was still pre-Web 2.0, so having printed references in the office was still the primary way of looking things up. Of course, this started with my textbooks from college. Then, one of the first things my boss gave me was a xeroxed packet of around 100 pages of handy reference materials. Then there were the brochures and catalogs collected from trade shows, or scrounged from company reps that would visit the office. And you were always on the lookout for a good deal on the classics.If I wanted to know the tolerances for a bearing, I'd go look it up in the Federal Ball Bearing catalog. If I wanted to know the formula for calculating stress in a specific load case, I'd look it up in my co-worker's Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain. Want to know the coefficient of thermal expansion for copper? Look it up in the Machinery's Handbook. Do you have to lay out a herringbone gear? Pull out a copy of Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers. Need to know the coefficient of friction between steel and brass? Check the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Trying to figure out what size rod end bearing you'll need? Pull out the McMaster-Carr Catalog**. Picking out a socket head cap screw? Use your Holo-Krome Socket Screw Selector Card Chart.***And it wasn't just a professional issue. I remember my copy of Burnham’s Celestial Handbook I picked up in high school. I mean, I'm not sure what exactly I planned on doing with it, but that was the type of information you couldn't find just anywhere. Or my McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. I may not have used it very often, but that was information that I owned personally. Or my family's ~30 volumes of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Or our copy of Gray's Anatomy. Or the book of card games, with printed rules for all types of games that you may have remembered playing once or twice, but couldn't quite remember the rules exactly. Or the craft book, with different 'recipes' for mixing resins or ceramics or whatever to get the best properties for whatever project you were doing. Or the Haynes and Chilton’s manuals for working on the car. Or the phone book. Or even the newspaper, with the movie listings for that weekend.The Internet has made practically all of human knowledge available at our fingertips. And it's great. But that democratization of knowledge has made my personal library all the less valuable. All that effort to build up my technical library at the office, and my personal library at the house - years worth of scouring garage sales and used book stores, trades shows and thrift shops, and even splurging now and then to pay full price. Now I have bookcases full of reference books just gathering dust, since it's so much easier to just Google that information. It's not that I'd wish to go back to pre-Internet days, but I do miss that sense of accomplishment and pride from compiling all that information.Note: Most links are to new or relatively new versions of most of those references, while most of my bargain finds were a good deal older. My CRC Handbook is actually older than me. But it's not like the laws of phsyics have changed in the past century.*Okay, I still do hoard books - but now more for sentimental value instead of any other value. And I still do consult my textbooks, but not like I used to. And now I hoard PDFs of various papers, but that's just to make it easier to find them again. A quick visit to the NASA Tech Reports Server will usually find me all types of relevant references.**I no longer use the printed McMaster catalog, But if you want to talk about a fantastic web version of a catalog, just go check out the McMaster-Carr website.***Listing all those references reminds me of my favorite engineering joke - Red Rubber Ball Engineering Joke.

A bachelor’s degree is a post-secondary degree awarded after completed 120 credits. It usually takes eight semesters to complete a Bachelor’s degree. While completing an undergraduate course, candidates have to study general courses and chose a major specific subject. A Bachelor’s degree can also be called a baccalaureate in certain countries.There are several fields that make up the broader field of computer science. One of these fields is the computational complexity theory, which can be very abstract.
