OTC MeetUp #5

This is to serve as a gentle introduction to the dark arts of wireless communication. People think of radios as a thing of the past, unaware of the potential that remains to be unlocked. While many are familiar with software, and some are with hardware, the wireless spectrum remains a curiosity to the masses. I'll show the basics of signal processing using Radios, along with demonstrations and applications of this technology.

Dekho is a very simple, bare bones and open source Video on Demand server which we built to understand how video streaming works at a fundamental level. The talk will consist of -

1. Why did we choose to build Dekho?
2. How did it start?
3. What topics we learnt about while exploring video streaming?
4. And how do we plan to take this project ahead?

AntiLang, a playful programming language with reversed syntax, challenges conventional coding norms. This talk explores its development process, from designing quirky features like inverted brackets to parsing and evaluating code.

A quick overview of how memory layouts can have measurable effects on memory access times due to CPU caching and the physical architecture of the chip.
