The SMS addition really ups the potential of the Dittofeed platform. Is SMS unsubscribe handles on the Twilio side or within the Dittofeed framework?

This is a very interesting point. It's like using Fourier Transforms/Laplace Transforms to do operations or comparisons that are way easier in those spaces.

The irony is that I had to help a client with a security audit because they wanted to provide Twitter with services that related to employee data. Judging from this article, Twitter would not have passed their own external service provider

How much EM radiation bounces and how much it gets absorbed is highly variable depending on the material and, most importantly, the frequency of the EM radiation. A great example in this article is the faraday bag that was visibly transpare

I recommend QP if you are going to do FPGA processing using a softcore or hardcore processor. It's an event-based state machine framework that handles IO really well. A hardcore processor would be more performant and take less LUTs but

What you are describing is an analog computer or circuit. These definitely exist, I had to build a circuit to model the physics of a bouncing ball in a Circuits class in college. However, I don't know how often analog computers are use

These videos helped me immensely when I was getting my Electrical Engineering degree. I didn't realize going into the degree a bulk of the coursework would be focused around fourier/laplace transforms and linear algebra.

Thank you for linking this. It seems to be much more intuitive than awk, especially for his particular purpose. I wish I would have found this a few months ago when I was slicing and dicing lots of data for an extensive system migration pro

I don't believe so as it was a CSV export from Sequel Pro. I could be wrong, but the import worked fine using the same file truncated to the first few thousand rows.

vi is an editor so it doesn't really solve my requirement of getting spreadsheet-like editing capabilities. SQlite is a good idea, I never thought of that. I will investigate that and add it to the article. Thanks!

I've had pretty good experiences with both of those editing the raw files. However, neither of them give capabilities like moving columns or doing filtering. But for basic editing or viewing, they definitely work.

I personally am not a huge fan of awk, I've never built a great mental model around its syntax and it doesn't really solve the problem I was talking about, which is getting a spreadsheet-like editing experience. Thanks for bringin

I thought I was going crazy with this 2014ish search result dynamic. I almost always have to use date filters to find recent information. Especially when trying to research products, reviews, types of products, etc.

I think, because of smartphones and smart gadgets, the demand for hardware and gadgets has reduced dramatically. A lot of gadget ideas can be built as an app. Plus, most businesses need websites or web apps now so there is much, much more d
