At least to me, the value proposition is different. I do not buy much avant-garde, so most of my pieces look quite ordinary. The difference to say, H&M jacket, is the durability and materials. I do not think these are exclusive to just

I do not think putting the brand on a textile has much relevance. I own designer pieces and they have little visible branding. Sure, engraving sans serif on a button is easier than serif, but if you have watched documentaries like Helvetica

LLVM and levels like MIR in Rust: https://github.com/nox/rust-rfcs/blob/master/text/1211-mir.m... I find that these kinds of efforts allow an increase in programmer productivity. MIR is reasoned in

I discarded job opportunities with web programming in Go and instead started learning about software-defined radio from scratch. Eventually, I got my own LTE network up. I think there are interesting things happening in the compiler space,

Kind of like on a related note, I like how the Internet raises the bar. I guess it only applies to certain kind of people, but at least I am constantly amazed by the engineering efforts in my field, of which I learn through here. Just as of

Care to elaborate problems of IPFS? I just recently set up a node (which I run while I heat my apartment with GPU mining) and am wondering if there's some other project I should give my spare cycles to.

Oh nice to know the thing about the SIM cards! Regarding your question, I recall reading a paper which compared both cases: the office owning the whole infrastructure, and one in which it is rented/outsourced to an established MNO. Whi

One idea is that commercial installations rely on unlicensed spectrum (like 6Ghz) to transmit LTE. Check out MuLTEfire for this. As far as I know, there are no LTE base stations transmitting these frequencies available for purchase. With 5G

Interesting research! One question: what would you test given you'd have access to a regulated spectrum?

I don't see why would it. You can submit papers without an affiliation, so the idea of publishing only tax-funded research is a generalization. That is, these organizations do work by being selective and then selling the collections of

Revolut seems to make the most sense in this case. You could consider Curve Card as well. In terms of traditional banks, Charles Schwab welcomes international clients who are ready to invest $25K upfront.

I recently wrote my bachelors thesis and I wish it could have been as practical as this. Props for German universities for allowing a software engineering project to be accepted. There is no way I could have gotten away with so little amoun

Having hacked on Roombas[0], one thing which dissatisfies me is open hardware access. That is, let advanced users SSH into the robots and let them read the sensor data and control the robot. Once you have that you could repurpose the robot

Cellular base stations allow a database of SIM cards to be created. This could be considered a superior tracker to advertisement IDs of Apple and Google. This is because the ID is retained between user equipment changes. This information is

Anecdotal, but a Google recruiter once approached me. He told me I have a weird work history. According to him, this was because I had not targeted FAANG after graduation, but instead worked in smaller companies. This was while I was living

I see that some grad schools in Europe want a Europass CV. Is this more or less what it is meant for, or are there other niche use-cases?
