The science and engineering of light!

When dealing more specifically with individual photons, we usually call it photonics.

Can produce two entangled particles.

Described for example in lecture 1.

From Wikipedia:

This is quite close! But as mentioned at: stars nearest to the Sun, there are several others nearby. Notably Sirius at 9 ly, the brightest star in the sky as of 2020.

Vaporware?

Kind of works! Notably, has the amazing cycling database offline for you, if you fall within the 6 area downloads. It is worth supporting these people beyond the 6 free downloads however.

Good library to render text in OpenGL, see also: stackoverflow.com/questions/8847899/opengl-how-to-draw-text-using-only-opengl-methods/36065835#36065835

The fact that they kept the standard open source makes them huge heroes, see also: closed standard.

Shame that many (most?) of their proposals just die out.

Good modern OpenGL tutorial in retained mode with shaders, see also: stackoverflow.com/questions/6733934/what-does-immediate-mode-mean-in-opengl/36166310#36166310

Cool looking open source EDA toolchain:

They apparently even produced a real working small RISC-V chip with the flow, not bad.
