Dropbox has a fairly exhaustive post about moving away from Coffeescript that involves decaffeinate: https://dropbox.tech/frontend/the-great-coffeescript-to-type... . I do hope for their own sake that Bubble looks at mi

Hmm that's a good point, I had not considered the shared memory architecture of the Qualcomm chipsets. That said, given that using AT commands usually require enormous amounts of (potentially insecure) string parsing I wouldn't be

This is surprising, is this intentional? If so, what would one search for?

There are _many_ turtles all the way down here: - The Pinephone uses a Quectel EG25-G, which is a System on a Module that combines a baseband modem with the necessary RF front-end bits and power needs. - The Quectel EG25-G itself, uses a Qu

You can do this on a Boox android-based e-ink tablet, which I’ve done and generally works well (after initial setup fiddling with the color to grayscale conversion)

In many places in the US (California aside), property taxes are pegged against the assessed value of the home and re-assessed on a regular cadence. So the scenario you paint can definitely happen. The way that property taxes work in Califor

The srsLTE/srsRAN code is also fairly accessible and well written -- a year or so ago I used it as a reference for demodulating LTE downlink signals (in a python notebook). Also worth calling out ShareTechnote which is basically the pe

Thanks for connecting the dots! I'm familiar with the OpenFPGA stuff but hadn't connected it to the folks listed -- consider this an ask to have bios on the site as I evidently picked the wrong people to google. It's great to

As someone pretty integrated with open source hardware, this initiative weirds me out. There's a growing community around open source silicon, whether that means ASICs with Openlane & the Skywater PDK or FPGAs with Symbiflow or mor

I recently built a Bluetooth transmitter that can advertise by transmitting binary bits at 5gbps, which has essentially the same physical characteristics as USB 3.0 [1]. Whereas I used an FPGA, I wonder if one could intermingle the right bi

I'm not doubting his acumen, it's clear he's a great businessman. I think the dissonance is that "leading an app" implies (to me) a more internally facing set of responsibilities than the kind of brand-building and

If you look at other sources, you'll see that the 9363 can be coaxed into being a (usually up to spec) 9374: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/adalm-pluto-sdr-hack-tune-70-mhz-to-...

Hands down the PlutoSDR (a.k.a ADALM-PLUTO) has the best price/performance & support I've seen (and I've owned a BladeRF, LimeSDR and various RTL dongles as well). The core radio chip itself (the AD9363) appears to be ide

In the states, LTE Cat M1 is most frequently what's used / available from my experience for IoT. In other places NB-IoT is more prevalent (which is way slower, but also way simpler)

I wonder how this data is collected and how long it takes for a tower to not be be seen before it drops off the map. Carriers may be keeping a small (relative) amount of capacity up and running, but in the meantime prevent new activations (

Also important to note that the Android approach is more likely to continue to work. In many places (certainly Manhattan, where I am), everything but LTE (and I gues 5G) has long been turned off such that GSM/Edge/UMTS/etc no

The WASM ecosystem is exploring this through the use of what they call "nanoprocesses" wherein libraries are wrapped into modules and provided access to nothing by default [1]. This seems to be more of a pattern and consequence of

You can turn on paged reading rather than scrolling (and fiddle with some of the other settings around color conversion which had bad defaults) and it's as good as any other app. I read an endless stream of academic papers, which why I

A cool thing to note is that you can't read Kindle "Textbooks" on any first-party Amazon e-ink device but you _can_ read them on a Boox e-ink device precisely because it runs Android (read: eTextbooks are supported in the Kin

I believe "absolutely unmoderated" speech isn't technically correct here. As I understand it, Parler does have a form of moderation wherein a "jury" of 5 people evaluate flagged content within a 24 hour window of be

Solarwinds accidentally leaked (via Github) the FTP credentials to the infrastructure used to distribute builds in late 2019 [1]. I'd be curious to see if the digitally signed bad versions are similar to digitally signed good versions,

Yeah, they use their own proprietary protocol over Bluetooth Low Energy (which you can basically use as a raw packet transport). For some reason the Bluetooth consortium was years behind the ball in standardizing a high quality bidirectiona

There are some ham radio folks who put together really great videos for building an intuition on all sorts of electrical engineering / signal processing topics that require minimal math. For I/Q signals in particular, W2AEW has a

I'm thankful to have started programming in PHP when I first started doing web work for this reason. Shared mutable state is (almost always) bad and virtually everything I've built after that (on any stack) follows similar rules a

Also you can't run anything Metal-based by default (which is a lot of things on macOS these days). You can theoretically PCI passthrough a GPU, but we're not to the point where you can use GVT-g based Intel passthrough to get some

I'm very curious what these changes are. Last I looked at PWAs they would get you 95% of the way there for most things, but a number of issues made the use of them as an alternative to native apps untenable (namely the reliable persist
