Airspy is an SDR with amazing specs, but drivers are slowly coming to your prefered os. This apply to Arch but should apply to any recent Linux. I’ve first compiled libairspy but always had the error AIRSPY_ERROR_NOT_FOUND and "usbfs: interface 0 claimed by airspy while 'airspy_info' sets config #1" Since Linux 3.17 comes with an airspy v4l autoloaded driver making impossible to use it with libusb: no airspy_info and no gqrx.

I've come to several realizations this week. Lemma is going to be good, but not great. I have to accept my limitations and finish the thing to the best of my ability. Lemma is more of an experience than a traditional video game. With these two ideas in mind, I am focusing the next few months on making Lemma the least frustrating, most enjoyable experience I can. So I'm trying to come up with puzzles that seem difficult but are actuall..

Yesterday I put in claustrophobia for the snails. Jars have a capacity attribute - a maximum number of snails that they should hold. But just because a jar with a capacity of 20 may not be able to support 25 snails very well doesn’t mean the snails are going to conveniently stop reproducing or hatching (if it is a breeding jar). Instead, they’re just going to get uncomfortable enough to eat their babies.

Do you prefer omnichannel or multichannel? Edutainment or interactive media? Native or hybrid? Applepay or CurrentC? E-comm/M-comm/M-POS? The world is now so heavily populated by digital acronyms, and terms, that unless your day is spent keeping up to speed with the new expressions then it is very easy to be baffled by words and leave you unsure in which direction it would be right for you to drive your business.

Hi, So back in 2013 I wrote a post on automating the creation of a Virtual Machine, and installation of all my loved bits of software, using Chocolaty and Remote Powershell. Well things have moved on in the Azure IAAS world and we have a nice new way to automate installation and configuration of VM’s. PowerShell DSC (desired state configuration) gives you a nice declarative way to define the setup of your machine. It also allows you t..

I’ve been using DVCSs for more than four years and I love them. Both Git and Mercurial are excellent source control tools, each with their strong points and their warts. The biggest difference between the two is the learning curve. I was very comfortable with Mercurial after only a few weeks and the same has held true wherever I’ve introduced it. It took me about six months to get to the same comfort level with Git. And that was with t..

The Developers Conference (TDC) is a traditional IT event in Brazil, with editions in Florianópolis, São Paulo, and Porto Alegre. The conference became popular not only because of the high quality of the speakers, but also because of the diversity of topics. It’s appealing to many types of technologists - from students to IT professionals in big companies.

While the webservice wizard in Codename One is pretty useful for many things it still requires a proxy and Servlet container which might not be the right choice for everyone. Steve Hannah created a pretty cool set of tools to map POJO’s (plain old Java objects) to JSON structures by using compile time object mapping. This eliminates the costs/issues of reflection while still delivering a programming experience that is on par wit..

I’m working on a project that requires Geo proximity search. Basically, what I’m doing is plotting a radius around a point on a map, which is defined by the distance between two points on the map given their latitudes and longitudes. To achieve this I’m using the Haversine formula (spherical trigonometry). This equation is important […]

Quantum mechanics is one of the leading scientific theories describing the rules that govern the universe. It’s discovery and formulation was one of the most important revolutions in the history of mankind, contributing in no small part to the invention of the transistor and the laser. Here at Math ∩ Programming we don’t put too much emphasis on physics or engineering, so it might seem curious to study quantum physics. But as the reader is ..

Identifying and Grouping Issues for a Reverse Retrospective In my earlier post, I described how teams might have many known and recurring issues that are not addressed through a regular retrospective. A Reverse Retrospective begins with issues captured on cards and placed on a wall by the facilitator. The participants then generate as many solutions for each issue as possible.

Every few years I have a habit of starting a new project. The goal always being to scratch my own itch and learn some new technology in the process. While I am still working on searchcode.com I really wanted to play with what I had learnt there and apply it to something new. You can view it at portfold.com Recently I have been taking an interest in various topics such as “ Oil Gas Pipeline Failure Rates ” and “ Hydroelectric Dam Envir..

Building enterprise mobile apps can be pretty challenging especially when dealing with rapid changes, prototyping and corporate development requirements. One of the tools that has really revolutionized this field is Jenkins and related CI tools that allow developers to instantly track failures back to a specific revision of their code commits with respect to QA work. Codename One was essentially built for continuous integration since ou..

Lots of stuff going on this week. New dev blog First off, my website got a much-needed overhaul. The horrible slowness of Wordpress.com was driving me nuts, so I switched to a custom-built site. I used Jekyll , which is a static site generator. It spits out a bunch of HTML files which you can upload to a server, as opposed to Wordpress, which generates fresh HTML every time someone loads your page. Advantages:

I want to empty my life and then refill it again. Why? Because it is similar to the stuff I do when I am cleaning up and organizing my possessions. Say, for example, I am cleaning up a closet. I will remove everything, and then put everything back in order. This way I am certain to go through everything and address it. It is a simple algorithm but is very effective. Organizing my items serves not only hygienic or inventory purposes, but als....

Hands-on user research and app testing helps software delivery teams shape the design path for mobile health (mHealth) solutions. Thoughtworks teams working on mHealth solutions throughout the Global South put our technology solutions in the hands of our users early and often. Alongside the development processes, our teams center an iterative feedback and improvement cycle around the users’ interactions, opinions, and ideas.

Many of the optimizations and enhancements that online retailers make to prepare for the peak season are useful year-round. Here are 6 ways that tech has changed holiday shopping. 1. Ship From/To Store Being able to fulfill and ship orders from your warehouse is normal - but what happens when the order volume suddenly jumps up by a factor of 10? Or a 100? Or 10,000?

Like all those involved with the .NET ecosystem I’ve been slowly digesting the recent news on the whole thing going open source and cross platform. I’ve been jogging down a few notes in light of a future blog post, but then Jeremy Miller came out with his own Some Thoughts on the New .NET which is almost exactly the post I wanted to write. So when he writes: I’ve started to associate .Net “classic” with seemingly constant aggravations..

pIf you#39;ve been a Ruby developer for a while, chances are that you#39;ve written some kind of Rack middleware. Rack is a pretty big part of web development with Rails, and here at theScore we#39;ve developed a few, small pieces of middleware to add additional data to our requests so that our Rails applications can use it./p pIf you#39;re not familiar with Rack or Rack middleware, I would recommend a href=http://southdesign.de/blog/rack.h....

Reverse Retrospective Whether it is a project rescue, a team under delivery pressure or a realization that your standard Agile rituals are not working, a Reverse Retrospective helps create solutions for known, recurring issues. Held at the end of each iteration, retrospectives are a core part of Agile projects – the opportunity to reflect on performance, learn and adjust behaviours.

This article explores a simple, cheap and effective way to reduce your organisation’s compliance risk when dealing with encryption software. Snowden’s revelations confirmed that the “Five Eyes” powers engage in global dragnet surveillance. He also confirmed that encryption, if done correctly, is highly effective at securing our electronic communications.

I’d never heard of Franz Wright until I happened across an album of music - drone-y, very minimalist music - that was inspired by his poems. I’ve not read many of them but this one I found intriguing. I am not acquainted with anyone there, if they spoke to me I would not know what to do. But so far nobody has, I know I certainly wouldn’t. I don’t participate, I’m not allowed; I just listen, and every morning have a moment o....
