If I can ask do you mean like a customized distribution with what I assume to be a heavily patched kernel? Or is it just the kernel with a totally new/different userland from a normal “Linux” box?
Totally custom userland, though does reuse common open source components
Let's Encrypt (along with the coauthors of https://abetterinternet.net/documents/letsencryptCCS2019.pdf and many other contributors). Now the world's largest public certificate authority!
You win. I'm only the co-founder of Digitalocean. I tip my hat to one of the giants we all stand on the shoulders of.
In 1995 I (and a few others) designed and built the first WiFi node [1]. At the time there was only one WiFi unit in the world, and it was the one on our bench. It now has about 20 billion descendants. [1] https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1109/40.566198
CSIRO ftw. Now if only in my part of the world we could get CSIRO scientitists onto the same actual page as scientists from another 'industry' council, and academia, instead of them just paying lip service to each other in the public forum but actively undermining each other behind closed doors.
At the time the collaboration with CSIRO worked quite well, as there were no business development types involved. In 1995 CSIRO was more concerned about science than IP. Since then they have become more money/IP focused. Maybe they got gold fever from the $1 billion in royalties they made from their WiFi patent?
Most impactful, in order: 1. Was the intern that coded the mechanism to open/close the LIDAR cover on the Mars Phoenix Lander, so it runs on another planet. I also did circuit work, and other tasks for the CSA’s contribution to that mission. That was also the internship where I (re)met my wife. 2. Was on the Android team that brought video to Instagram back in 2013. We brought gyro stabilization to the iPhone, couldn…
Can you talk about the AB software? At least in generic terms?
4.3 trillion requests, 108 petabytes transfered, installed on 7 million sites (today its 10mm).
I was also the art director for the Bash logo but BootstrapCDN took the cake in terms of impact.
Wrote del.icio.us and invented tagging. Echoes of my original design are still around (notably account urls being web.site/userid)
The access, implementation and costs of getting security and safety are broken and inefficient. Security involves having standalone security guards and CCTV's that work independently. 56 platform leverages an interconnected network of guards and AI smart cameras to deliver an efficient safety experience to our customers. We’re doing this primarily by developing location services, machine learning and hardware running deep learning models.
Impact: Many residents use the SoS feature in case of an emergency. Apart from giving proactive security, we have successfully averted safety-critical situations such as public nuisance, tracing out missing people in the neighbourhood (the majority of them being dementia patients, pet rescues etc. )

I built the national covid health information system (NCHIS) for my country that helped to mitigate the pandemic. It streamlined the sample collection to issuing reports and aggregated data nationwide and generated reports for government to make decisions on lockdowns and track the pandemic progress. Well this was not completely built by me but I got help from 20 odd university students but I overlooked the project a…
> I overlooked the project May I suggest "oversaw"? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oversee https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/overlook Even though both words have older meanings that are somewhat opposite of their current meanings, "oversee" is normally used today to mean "supervise" or "superintend" (in fact, I suspect "oversee" could be a calque of "supervise"), while "overlook" is normally used to mean "ignore" or "fa…
I guess it’s too late for me to edit the comment now.
Built whole realtime tech stack in PyPy+Tornado+RehtinkDB for realtime asynchronous message queuing. We avoided websocket and used eventsource , it was a lot easier and easier to scale.

Thank you for the Lego thing. My mom got into adult lego when she took apart my child hood lego and reassembled them to resell. Now we mail each other sets that the other is done with, and it gives us a great opportunity to connect. We're both anxious people and there's something relaxing about just assembling something where everything has a place. When she found out there's a lego con in my town, she made plans to…
That’s a wonderful story! My 3 and 6 year old love lego kits. Historically I found myself sitting with them and helping when they got stuck or directing them when I saw they made a mistake. More recently I decided to pick up my own kit and build along side them. I’m currently working on the Saturn V rocket. It’s been a lot more fun for me and a way to bond with my kids.
