"Wi-Fi looks like a very complicated thing standardized over hundreds of pages. Could a non-expert with a PC and a couple of 100$ devices (HackRFs) somehow improve it? Here I try to develop a Wi-Fi optimization approach basically agnostic of protocol implementation details. There's some math and Python programming in it"

Array of weak in Swift

In Swift, when working with objects, it’s important to manage memory correctly. One way to do this is by using weak references to avoid retaining objects too long and causing memory leaks. In this article, we will discuss how to create an array of weak references in Swift using a generic wrapper: https://bit.ly/42Z6bJq

Langton's ant: a mystery cellular automaton

There are about 14,000 species of ants on Earth, each of them has its own name. However, no matter how hard you try, you will not find Langton's ant in any biological encyclopedia.

The thing is, Langton's ant is just a mathematical abstraction, a model for describing the behavior of a dynamic system. Sometimes it seems that mathematicians are really fascinated with ants — just to mention, the ant colony optimization algorithm that has already become a classic. Also, ants are quite common in all sorts of logical models and math problems: https://bit.ly/3Ks3zfL
