What do the developers at stack overflow do when stack overflow is down and they need help?

I need to step up my game.

I was at work, and some old guy came in.

He said he needed to quickly check a password before we started working on his computer, and he opened up a full msDOS prompt and started a custom password manager that he wrote in basic..

It had a ton of graphical stuff built in and could hide / show logins with various keyboard commands.

Quite impressive.

Oo. I got stickers!
Thanks digitalocean

Python. In an http server:

eval(f"\{'name':{__get["name"]}\}")

Idk why I thought this was smart

Ok then...

I finally get access to the HAL for our robots, and i'm trying to learn how a very specific part of the FPGA works..

Conveniently, there is a single source file missing.

Literally the only one I need!

Yet another day without compile errors..

I sense doom approaching.

I wonder how much it takes to stop non-programmers from using my laptop for driving robots.

Not sure what I was doing last night...

At least it is compiles to have one instruction less!

Oo. Thanks!

This post is a random, but who cares?

So about a year ago, I got a message from (at the time) a random guy with more ++ than me. This guy was @linuxxx. The message went something like this:

L: Do you want to join our little privacy chat?
E: Sure!
L: Ok. send me your email.

.. And that was my gateway drug to the coolest group of people I have ever met.

Eventually riot.im got boring, then we moved over to signal and I met even more cool people.

So. After a year and a few weeks, I would like to say Thank You to this group, and to devRant for being an amazing place where like-minded people can meet eachother and learn from eachother.

Im going to inevitably forget some people, but the groups members are mentioned in the comments.

!rant

I haven't had a single compile error today, and I am happy!

I wonder if dfox ever ++ spams people..

The presentation went great yesterday.

It was great to see all the kids who are interested in robotics.

Sir Duck the first is getting in the Christmas spirit while my family and I decorate the house.

It's almost time to do another Robotics presentation!

This time, my devduck is coming.

Memory leak on a robot...

Do I need to say more?

Be efficient.

Throughout working on robots, I have learned a lot about efficiency. I now continually check the assembled output of my code to see if I can reduce the instruction count or make things faster in other ways.

I am in the process of completely rewriting a robotics codebases due to efficiency problems. And oh. My. god. The code is hell..

Allocating a new section of memory just to store a simple class in a loop that runs once every 20ms.. who thought that was smart??

Having piece of code that stole control over hardware from each other? Because "that will never go badly"...

Anyways. I am about half way through and very confused how this code was able to run..

Hey guys. I have a question.
What Linux tools do you use daily?

Here is my list:

Ssh, scp, netcat, neovim, Gradle, frcmake, gcc, clang-format, python3, pip, wget, git, hub, code, gitkracken, wine, gqrx, gnuradio, rtl_tcp, aircrack_ng, ftp, chromium, crostini, crouton, chromebrew.

I'm probably missing a few. I am curious to see what you guys use.

More robots have arrived! (Teams 5024 and 6856)

Conveniently, one of our robots is putting out smoke and the other has a bunch of broken sensors.

Hey.. Google? You good?

Hey guys. I use Ubuntu.

I should wake up at some point...

I guess I have waited long enough. It's time for me to start showing off my various devdesks.

This is post 1 of 2

Today I just finished cleaning up the "programming corner" of the robotics shop.

Here is where I do my robotics work almost every day. It is an amazing place to work and hopefully some more setup upgrades come soon.

It might look ugly, but after 4 years, I can finally use linux on my chromebook without having to hack around the firmware and os.

Im tempted to make an account that subscribes to every user's posts just to see what my notification feed would look like..

For anyone getting in to computer vision, or people who just hate making filters and masks in opencv, you should really try out GRIP

Even though it is built for robotics, it works great for almost anything.
