I feel like there was a missed opportunity to use some of the spare computing power on the desk to add some helpful navigational autonomy. Like using a backward facing web camera for lane assist, obstacle avoidance, route following, etc. Could leverage something open source like Autoware.org to get most of the way there.

Have you ever wondered how NASA updates Voyager's software from 15 billion miles away? Or how Voyager's memories are stored? In this video, we dive deeper into the incredible story of how a small team of engineers managed to keep Voyager alive, as well as how NASA could perform a software update on a computer that's been cruising through space for almost half a century.

I've been looking into putting together a home office setup for remote development and stumbled upon this nice home automation project by David Zhang, where they use a Raspberry Pi with a customized num pad to control almost every day-to-day arrangement of their office, from desk hight, KVM input/output switching, lighting, all the way to tiling window management. Looks like they've also published the combination of Auto Hotkey, Home Assistant and ESPHome scripts in order to work, including links to dependencies:

Anyway, I'm looking forward to scripting a similar setup once I've gathered the general equipment, and figured other programmers might similarly appreciate the ergonomics in such an automated workflow.

P.S. Any suggestions for a developer picking items for a new remote office from scratch would also be appreciated. E.g. office equipment recommendations like desk, chair, screen mounts, AV accessories.

A devlog on switching from Unity to Godot and then to Bevy.

I think you need two spaces before a line break, or double carriage returns, before starting a bullet list. That's the original markdown spec anyways. Other markdown flavors, like what GitHub uses are a little more forgiving with that but are then non standard.

Pain... This too painful to be posted as just a meme...

[–] ruffsl 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps, is there an engineering meme community I could cross post this to?

It looks like another project outlined in the Bevy blogs that is also listed in steam (planned for release 2024) is Tiny Glade:

Does anyone have a favorite commercial game know to be developed using Bevy? Available on steam, Google Play, etc.

I know Bevy has a web site of indexing games from hackathons and what not, but I was more interested in seeing any commercially published titles.

Any details on your setup?

  1. Do you use any ventilation to circulate the heated air through home?
  • E.g. do you place them in the basement and rely on raising connection l convention of heat, or dispersed around your living spaces?
  1. What scale of computing hardware do you host?
  • Retired server racks into a home lab?
  1. What grade of insulation is your home, the scale of the household?
  • built for what kind of winter climate zone in your geography?

Thanks!

How did you delimit the leaf pattern so evenly around the circumference of the brim of the bowl? Did you use a rotary indexer and a wood burning jig?

Like a file tree view with respect to the context directory? Could be nice if it color coded the file by matching with the respective .dockerignore file as well. I'm always second guessing if I edited the ignore file correctly just after running docker build. Not like I can use git CLI to check if the .dockerignore change was interpreted as intended.

Private Eye - essential for staying online 24/7

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.

I'll note that when using multiple windows, I recall that switching the user in one window would switch the user for all other windows as well, so support for simultaneous user sessions would probably have to be added as well.

Do we have a community for computer architectures or computer science on this instance or anywhere else?

[–] ruffsl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Call it WebOS or something.

Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS

It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.
