Java 8 will be remembered mainly for introducing lambdas, streams, a new date/time model, and Nashorn--but don't miss the new Base64 API. It could be just what you need to ensure data integrity in ...

But encoding doesn’t get nearly the attention that decoding does, despite evidence that, from the earliest grades on, writing practice is a powerful aid and complement to reading instruction.

The experimental results show that the joint source-channel encoding/decoding scheme has obtained better performance than existing joint iterative decoding based on the bit-level super trellis.

It's just announced that Vulkan Video, a low-level API for handling video streams, now fully supports the hardware acceleration of the H.264 and H.265 standards for decoding and encoding.

Also a new real-time video decoding system compatible with the encoding system resulted in real-time, high-quality 8K video encoding and decoding in experiments simulating an actual broadcast.
