There was a survey of available GNSS corrections services from a couple of years ago - some of these services are global and not limited to a single country:
Nice! SWF is sadly an under-utilized service outside of Amazon - great to see more accessible abstractions being built on top of it. We wrote a simple abstraction around SWF to make is easier to work with:
My favorite quote around this is from SICP's preface:
Underlying our approach to this subject is our conviction that 'computer science' is not a science and that its significance has little to do with computers. The computer revolution is a revolution in the way we think and in the way we express what we think. The essence of this change is the emergence of what might best be called procedural epistemology -- the study of the structure of knowledge from an imperative point of view, as opposed to the more declarative point of view taken by classical mathematical subjects. Mathematics provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of 'what is.' Computation provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of 'how to.'
This article feels like it's from years ago. Using Jenkins today is an anachronism - poor UI, poor configuration, poor scalability, poor distribution. My current employer has poured so much well intentioned effort into Jenkins' black hole. Never again.
'makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.”'
Hope that helps you figure out whether to use your voice or your feet!
Is there an accessible description of the API? i.e., what's driving the "code generation process"? Is that open and something I could use to generate a client for <insert my favorite language here>?
Completely agree. Would love to understand the money here - think it would provide a lot of perspective on how the technology financing community works.
Swift Navigation is looking for embedded, estimation, and infrastructure engineers to work with us on open source (https://github.com/swift-nav/), inch-accurate GPS receivers (H1B welcome). Questions? email Colin ([email protected]).
Our ~15 person group in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco is spread across analog/RF/digital hardware design, statistics/estimation/GPS, functional programming, and web infrastructure. Our work is highly interdisciplinary with an environment emphasizing effective communication, collaboration, and inclusion with a flexible working policy.

Great product - exactly what I'm looking for in infrastructure. Was able to get a bunch of esoteric services up and running on AWS without having to pull out my hair.
