I really wonder if these studies can be extended to countries which are naturally multi-lingual. By that I mean countries where there are more than 1 language spoken. E.g. Switzerland has German, Italian, French and Romansh as official lang

There are several alternative transports being proposed (including the 'unusual' CoAP over websockets), but I wonder if they can be implemented with the original constraints of 8bit micros as servers. Maybe its possible, but not s

CoAP or Constrained Application Protocol for IoT/M2M is being defined by the IETF is on top of UDP. One of the reasons is UDP's simplicity thereby making it easy to implement on microcontrollers. I guess there should be more love

Why? The minimum wage in Australia and it's legal boundaries do not apply to other countries. Plus, I don't see why there is an ethical issue in outsourcing work to another country where rates are lower. The assumption you are pro

I tried to sign up as a Freelancer, but it seems to take in only specific skills. My focus is on C/C++ and Embedded software. It's a bit ironic considering the screenshot shows C code but the skills don't even allow for C to

That's pretty cool. I had a chance to travel on the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo last year. It was in the evening and so I couldn't see Mt. Fuji or anything. But it was just incredible esp. the part where the train bends like a

It actually depends on who "You" are. Are you the Sales guy who promised the moon? Are you the Marketing guy whose Copy doesn't match the product? Are you the CEO battling fires? Are you the CTO wondering if why the engineers

democratically empowered only means rule of the majority. If it meant peaceful, non-violent, then the only country in the world that is democratic is probably Costa Rica. It also does not mean a Western Ideal monoculture. While all the thin

If there is a marketplace then it's value will be determined by that market. If people can move into apartments and can be interviewed for it, the same could apply here. Obviously, I haven't thought this out completely and natural

I wonder if there will ever be a time when there is a marketplace of citizenship. There are plenty of non-americans who want to become US citizens or immigrate legally. And at the same time there are US citizens going the other way. An exam

End of the day, what makes a startup successful is customers. What customers care about is whether you solve their problem and bring value. One of the ways that startups like to attract dev talent is by saying how cool they are - the latest

What you are saying makes sense. $12/hour for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month = $1920 per month. Assuming 12 months (even though we are 4 weeks short) we get $23040. Starting salary for Airline Pilots in the US = $21000.

FWIW, SBCL does exactly that. You can defun a function and disassemble it right down to assembly. What this project does is slightly different which is to use LLVM to achieve the same thing.

All the above projects are interesting, but are essentially hobby/devkits. Are you planning to use them to prototype or do you have an end product in mind? For prototype any of the above is fine but for an end product keep production&#

Some of the issues go back thousands of years. In a sense, it also shows the genius of Prophet Mohammad. From a historical point of view, one of his greatest achievements was to unite the Arabs. That's something that was never done bef
