An SMS, email, or even physical mail only agent would be pretty interesting. With the socially accepted inherent limitations (text only, async, some level of misinterpretation expected) of those interfaces I'd wager it'd be possib

Audiovisual systems integration. It's a mix of systems engineering, software development, DSP, acoustics, interaction design and physical infrastructure. Think of the tech that makes or captures sound or light at a venue, in meeting ro

I’ll see your 16” MacBook and raise you 12” iPad with external mech keyboard. I’ll admit that I’ve recently reverted to a 16:10 external display as I’m working more with engineering drawings and this reduces printing for short term use, but

Assuming that you’re still capable of verbal comms. The good thing about a PLB is that it’s generally a fairly definitive signal that something is wrong at a specific location. It also requires less dexterity to trigger and potentially has

This use case (and the associated challenge of deterministic ordering of PRNG calls in distributed systems) is something that’s talked about in the AoE dev writeup: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/1500-archers

I think the key is it does a great job at the human-to-human aspect, which I lot of location encodings fail at. It's a good demonstration of 7 ± 2 [1] in practice. In many cases when communicating this style of location, at least one p

Both are useful. GPG is good for signing, particularly when that signature is written into some form of immutable history (e.g. git). That signing key can be revoked or time windowed to expire. There are mechanism for distributing that revo
