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.

I was thinking of cross posting this to a Fortran community, but it looks like we don't yet have one.

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.

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!

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.

For anybody wondering what the Mastodon security issue is - CVE-2023-36460, you can send a toot which makes a webshell on instances that process said toot. #CVE202336460 #TootRoot

But honestly even if Facebook is operating in bad faith, such is life. We shouldn’t abandon our core concept even so.

Hmm, that sounds fairly applicable to the Paradox of Tolerance, where the we are beholden to be inclusive to an industry that has a repeated history of running afoul in society.

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

You recognise people in your replies like you used to.

This is pretty cool. I'm still active on some older traditional forums, but I love this style of threaded discussions in comment trees here. So much easier to reply to an individual in wall-of-text discussions. I think we'll also start recognizing each other by account birthdays, with a wave of folks all having similar ones in June and July. 📅

My first meme post to Programming Humor was in the screen capture. Oofta... 🙃

Out in the wild? Perhaps quite a few. For example, for teleoperated robotic thoracic surgeries, I imagine medical grade HID should mandate safety certified hardware that doesn't rely on electrically noisy mechanical potentiometers, subject to Dead zone drift, or non-deterministic dead man behavior under failure modes. Although I'm certain there's various reasons not to use hall effect sensing devices even within the same facility as MRI machines.

If I recall, this controller was wireless via Logitech's proprietary 2.4Ghz USB dongle, but yes, weird would be better. I'm also surprised they still used wireless due to battery concerns, such as being an additional fire hazard in a confined space, or unexpected power loss during critical maneuvers, and not just from the connectivity liability of RF.

These concerns could be mitigated if/when these feature requests get implemented:
