anirudt··on How Cockroaches Crash into Walls and Keep Going
According to me, the antennae of the cockroach play a vital role in sensing the obstacle ahead; but the work seems to make no use of this fact. There needs to be some use of the frontal information in making the guided decision, prior to struggling to climb the wall like the robot does.
anirudt··on How I Hacked My University's Registration System with Python and Twilio
Agreed, but it's just automation at play here. Clever, and will save time though, just thought that the headline was a little misleading, considering a registration system was involved.

Probably the word "hacked" made it click baity, atleast in my opinion. Automation, yes. Not sure there was a vulnerability involved.
anirudt··on Voc: a physical model of the vocal tract, written in ANSI C
This is quite cool!

On a sidenote, can this be used to train or obtain voice parameters of oneself for using it in software programs like Espeak?

anirudt··on Atom now opens files larger than 2MB
A +1 for Notepad++ on this note.
anirudt··on Journey into Information Theory
Elements of Information Theory, by Thomas Cover is also a very good read for fundamentals.
anirudt··on When a+b+c does not equal c+b+a
On a first glance at the link, my guess was string concatenation.
anirudt··on OpenCV 3.0 released
Seems to be giving a Database Error.

Any future plans of shifting the repo from SourceForge to GitHub?
