33 karma · joined September 29, 2011

I started coding as a kid and never stopped. With +20 years of experience working on software design & engineering, a met a lot of people from different countries and a vast range of areas. I’m good working on new and interesting things. I’m not so good working on legacy projects and doing same things everyday. If I’m away from keyboard maybe I’m saving your cat, because I’m a Volunteer Firefighter. I apply same philosophy for all engineering, design and firefighting: make life easier.

Languages I can speak fluently: Spanish, English, JavaScript & Python. But hey, I’m currently talking with the iPhone using C++ and we understand each other.

emi420··on In Argentina, inflation is a way of life
When a company sends USD to a bank account in Argentina, the bank must to convert that amount to "pesos argentinos" (ARS), using the "official rate". You can't get USD transferred to your account from other people than yourself (or a company owned by you).

Right now the "official rate" is 110,5 ARS for each USD, but if you sell your USD (using crypto or in the "dark market") and get ARS, you'll get 222,5 ARS for each USD.

And that's before the taxes.

Im taking this online course, it is very interesting if you have some prior knowledge and experience and you are self-taught like me, because can make sure if you are making things right or wrong, plus learn new things.
emi420··on TRENDnet IP cameras acessible without authentication
Yes, I disabled the application now. But it took me 2 hours to put it online and it was really easy. People must stop the surveillance of all other people, I think.
emi420··on TRENDnet IP cameras acessible without authentication
All is public, since doesn't have password. I took a pastebin list, a free geolocation API, and I made this to play: http://big-brotha.appspot.com/static/index.html
