   Here's what I did. When I was learning C++ and Win32 API, I would implement small applications that would draw some graphics, because I loved graphics programming. When I was learning java, I would go to freelancing sites like elance (

   Interesting stuff. I wonder if some of this data - both on OSM and Google Maps - was from defectors and military sources. I don't really know much about NK, but I can't help thinking their regime wouldn't be too happy if thei

   Can you elaborate what you are looking for? I'm exploring OSM development right now, and I'd love to implement something that is missing elsewhere.

   I'm rather surprised that even North Korea is mapped quite extensively in OSM.( https://mvexel.github.io/thenandnow/#14/38.9911/125.7365 ). For a long time, North Korea was shown as a featureless area in g

   Soul crushing is exactly what they are! My earnings from previous jobs and contracts, and the returns on my financial investments, will keep me going for the next 5 years. I'm single, so it's relatively easy for me. I'm curre

   Ah never mind. It says later on "The device will not operate in countries where GSM does not function."

   The FAQ says: "...device emits a signal that is used to determine its location, but does not use GPS." Anybody knowledgeable can throw light on what kind of signal it could be?

   I totally agree with you that most job descriptions don't quite match the day-to-day tasks we end up doing. It's been my experience as well. Not just in all my salaried jobs, but even in the freelance contracts I took up. My solu

    TLDR: There are still many unsolved problems. You have to go beyond your mental comfort zone and start exploring your "unknown unknowns". I jumped out of my mental well, found my "unknown unknowns", realized that there&#

    Shubham, I went through your blog and I'm impressed! It looks like you're a person with wide ranging interests. You seem proficient in combining concepts from core mathematics, computer science, practical software engineering and

    Why such a strange name for a development board? Does "Shark's cove" have any cultural or historical significance?

    Very interesting board! Right now, powering a Raspi with batteries, without desoldering the onboard regulator, requires an external regulator circuit, preferably a switched one. This board seems to eliminate the need for such an external re

    I've been planning to write about them on a blog, but haven't started yet. Hopefully sometime soon.

    I built my own home security system with a Pi as the brains to control camera streaming and do face recognition using OpenCV. Is there a $5 microcontroller that can do all that? Admittedly, it's a big load on the Pi and I'm lookin

    Try Android programming[1] atleast once. Who knows, maybe you'll enjoy it. That's what happened to me. [1]: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/10/25/get-started-devel...
