The blogs [1][2] have some more information about the signals that were/are(?) sent out by their satellites. It's awesome that the software is being released under the GPLv3 - is the hardware going to also be open sourced under an

Cool - it's great to hear that you guys actually got to put it to a head-to-head comparison with the old ways. How heavily have you customized Spring, versus how much did you use various Node modules out of the box (versus having to ad

I'm guessing that a good chunk of that came from either reducing the actual complexity of their UI, or from simplifying horribly-fragmented old code. And I would guess more of the former than the latter.

This sounds really cool, but socket.io.js is throwing "Unexpected response code: 502" when attempting to make a websockets connection. I'll have to try again later, I suppose.

Sure, but presumably these devices (and included sensors to measure things like temperature, oxygen/CO/CO2 levels, etc) could be much more useful if they would survive being thrown into the building, bouncing around, and coming to

At SIGGRAPH 2010, Microsoft Research showed off a technique [1] where they attached an IMU (measures acceleration/rotation) to a DSLR. They recorded motion and used it to deblur the image. A ball flying and spinning through the air sh

I know that many fire departments and other first responders are very severely constrained by budgets. There's lots of interesting things out there, but they just don't have budget for gizmos which cost multiple tens of thousands

That's quite a team. The article's light on details, but I have to assume that they have already been doing durability design and that the article is just light on the details.

What it can’t do quite yet is survive a hard fall, but the company is working on that and expects to have durability testing finished this year... Isn't its durability kind of one of the major selling points? The primary use o

Building it with mil-spec parts can legitimately raise the cost. Generally, components have a higher failure rate early in their life, then that failure rate goes down, and eventually goes back up. Mil-spec components are the ones which s

I like it! It will definitely need more evolution of style like you began exploring towards the end to keep it from being just the same loops for hours. Do you have samples for the individual tracks which layer in during the first 2 minutes

Another opportunity for efficient blur would be to rescale the image if the blur radius is above a certain amount. This incurs overhead, so for smaller radii it might be more efficient to just blur the full-size image, but for larger radii

Sum all the individual digits of 1-250 (e.g. 11 is 1+1 is 2). Sum all the individual digits in your string. Now you at least know the sum of the missing digits, and how many missing digits there are.
