Anyone have good suggestions for playing around with SDR on OSX? I tried installing GNU Radio a couple of years ago with homebrew and it was quite a mess.

I think that you're on to something. If they're confusing empathy for virtue signaling, the results are going to seem counterintuitive.

I remapped caps lock to escape and it's been wonderful. The oversized caps lock key on keyboards is an inexplicably bad UI choice anyway.

I have a TouchBar MacBook and I was pretty peeved about the escape key at first, but once I remapped the caps lock key to escape I never looked back. The caps lock key is worthless anyway. That said, the only cool use for the TouchBar that

These "privacy vs features" questions of new technologies keep coming up. Over and over, people seem to shrug their shoulders over the privacy violations while they eat up the new features.

That's a really fascinating article. The "Chicken LIBOR" collusion will be a case that I'll have to follow closely in the future.

Like the housing bubble, our debt hasn't been a problem and it's not going to be a problem right up until it is a problem. It will be a black swan event and afterward everyone will claim that they saw it coming and "the othe

It's unprofessional to let prospective customers know that EasyDNS is not a company that specializes in handling DDOS, so just keep looking for a company that can help you out? Seems refreshingly honest to me. And as a customer of th

I've used EasyDNS for many years now. They never spam me. They always provide knowledgeable responses to my inquiries. Their online tools have always been simple and worked well. I would recommend EasyDNS to anyone who is looking f

Yeah, I balked at changing my apps to be 0.19 compatible. Now I'm kind of just "getting along" with 0.18 until I can do more of my front end work in Phoenix LiveView.

I also upgraded to LinkedIn Premium and started reaching out to engineers in my 2nd degree network. These people were complete strangers, and I had no reason to think they might be interested in Kapwing. This tactic definitely didn’t work.

I loved Ruby, but unfortunately it didn't hold on to any kind of "killer app" role after Rails clones showed up in other language. I've switched to Elixir/Phoenix in that space and not looked back. With the rise in

"Players’ speed matters more on clay than other courts, and Nadal is the fastest on tour" That's an odd thing to say. I would think that Djokovic is the fastest of the major players.

by crusso 7y ago
Why much better? More performance? Is OpenWRT on it a stable Linux with as good package support as I get with Raspbian? A router probably isn't going to have HDMI on it, which is nice to have in a pinch. I also use RPis for various G

Very cool. I use RPis when I travel as gateways, device interfaces, and sometimes just for a remote shell. You've given me some good information and ideas to make my experience better. One request, though, from your snippet of Python

Having worked at a FAANG, I can concur. Sure, some of the developers were world class. Some of them, though, had been there for years just kind of "lost in the sauce".
