QuadRF can spot drones and see WiFi through my wall

โœจ Read this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The QuadRF (pictured above) a phased-array radio built around a Raspberry Pi 5 and an FPGA board with picosecond-level timing. It does advanced signal processing and beamforming.It can see WiFi through walls and track drones in flight.If the open source community can come up with something like this, just imagine what governments are capable of.When you plug a computer into a network, tools like Wireshark can show all the hidden traffic you might not even know is there. WiFi packets are the same, but those…

Write code like a human will maintain it

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: One of the best things about LLMs is that they'll write code for you, all day long. Who cares about DRY? You don't have to be the one updating the same long conditional in four different files - the AI will just do it for you! Right? I've noticed myself letting it slide recently on a project I'd been building with AI. I needed the same access check in a handful of places: a route handler, a background job, an API endpoint, a webhook,…

There's a joke in movement politics that if you have one Trotskyist (and you can replace "Trotskyist" with any number of other denominations), you have one Party; if you have two Trotskyists, you have two Factions; and if you have three Trotskyists, you have a party split. It feels like that's the vibe the open social media space is in nowadays. People feel that they need to pick a side and defend it, preferring to eat one another's face rather…

Ryanair Passenger Sucked Toward Broken Window After Midair Engine Failure

โœจ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Earlier this morning, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 flying from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) in Greece to Memmingen Airport (FMM) in Germany had to return to its point of departure after debris from a dramatic engine failure caused damage to the aircraft's window. The incident injured one of the plane's passengers, with some reports suggesting that they were even partially sucked out of the broken window. Despite the dramatic turn of inflight events, the flight's pilots were able to safely land the aircraft back in Thessaloniki. Ryanair…

Laylo is the drop CRM powering some of the biggest names in music, live events, and entertainment. We replace the patchwork…

TLS certificates for internal services done right

TLS certificates for internal services done right

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Title is a bit clickbait-y โ€” YMMV, but let me explain why I think โ€œthis is the wayโ€. Letโ€™s start with a simple example โ€” we have a server which hosts bunch of HTTP services. Some of those services are external, others internal. In order to reach the internal ones you need to be connected to the VPN. For the sake of simplicity letโ€™s consider we have two choices: We use top-level domain restricted by ICANN for private use โ€” e.g. .internal. We use a…

In Emacs, Everything Looks Like a Service

In Emacs, Everything Looks Like a Service

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: A common refrain is that Emacs is an operating system (OS). This isnโ€™t true, but what invites comparison to an OS is its ability to orchestrate applications and utilities above the OS kernel level. The diagram below suggests a truer picture of how Emacsโ€™ relates to an OS and its capabilities. Emacsโ€™ built-in access to OS system services (file system, network, etc.) coupled with the ability to run other programs makes it routine to improvise client behavior within it. Because of this, Emacs users…

A road to Lisp: Why Lisp

A road to Lisp: Why Lisp

๐Ÿš€ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The question that most programmers face when seeing some Lisp code for the first time is, without doubt, โ€œwhat the hell is this?โ€. I asked myself the same thing when I first read its unconventional syntax: all those parentheses, the weird indentation, and who thought to use the first argument of format to print to stdout? (defun flip-coin-for-real () (write-line "What is your name?") (learn-it (if (flip-coin-for-real) (format t "Hello, ~A.~%" name) (format t "The Oracle said... you ~A learn Lisp!~%" learn-it))) After getting comfortable…

The Glass Backbone: Why the Armyโ€™s Logistics Will Break in the Next War

โœจ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The United States Army spent the last two decades optimizing sustainment for permissive environments defined by uncontested supply lines, contractor support, and static forward operating bases. As the National Defense Strategy shifts toward strategic competition and multidomain operations, however, this efficiency-driven model has become a liability. In large-scale combat operations, victory will depend less on which force fields the most advanced weapons and more on which can sustain combat power under persistent attack. A lethal maneuver force without a survivable logistical backbone is simply a…
