Time seems simple. But we engineers lose sleep over something as basic as keeping clocks in sync. Here’s why…
41. The Dangers of SSL Certificates
Yesterday, the Bazel team at Google did not have a very Merry Boxing Day. An SSL certificate expired for https://bcr.bazel.build and https://releases.bazel.build, as shown in this screenshot from the github issue. This expired certificate apparently broke the build workflow of users who use Bazel, who were faced with the following error message: ERROR: Error computing…

49. Multiscale Aperture Synthesis Imager
Synthetic aperture imaging has enabled breakthrough observations from radar to astronomy. However, optical implementation remains challenging due to stringent wavefield synchronization requirements among multiple receivers. Here we present the multiscale aperture synthesis imager (MASI), which utilizes parallelism to break complex optical challenges into tractable sub-problems. MASI employs a distributed array of coded sensors that operate independently yet coherently to surpass the diffraction limit of single receiver. It combines the propagated wavefields from individual sensors through a computational phase synchronization scheme, eliminating the need for overlapping measurement regions to establish phase coherence. Light diffraction in MASI naturally expands the imaging field, generating phase-contrast visualizations that are substantially larger than sensor dimensions. Without using lenses, MASI resolves sub-micron features at ultralong working distances and reconstructs 3D shapes over centimeter-scale fields. MASI transforms the intractable optical synchronization problem into a computational one, enabling practical deployment of scalable synthetic aperture systems at optical wavelengths. The authors create a distributed sensor array that achieves optical super-resolution without lenses, using computational synchronization to combine multiple sensors and expand imaging areas 16-fold beyond physical sensor dimensions.
