Great observation - the force sensing isn't there yet. It should be smooth contact all throughout. Definitely working on it.

Dexter by Haddington Dynamics for the arm. Pico Flexx for the depth sensor. Deeply appreciative of your feedback. Long term, we want to install a force control sensor. The arm actually has a mode that detects negative torque so we may tap i

Totally agree, maximente. If you go in to get a cut for the experience, you're not our target customer (which is totally OK). SportsClips has centered this business around creating a fun experience (drink a beer, watch the game, get a

We totally agree, zepto. Though we're still perfecting the computer vision and path tracing pieces, that is squarely next on the agenda. We realize there's a lot of trust users are giving us and we intend to honor that.

Hey everyone, founder of Buzz Robotics here. I'm a guy and getting a haircut is a pain. It takes too much time (appointment + waiting time + sitting time). It involves traveling to the one barber that knows our style. And it is expens

As someone in your spot (solicited by ~10 or so people in the past couple years), this is an interesting response. On first blush, it seems to set an adversarial tone rather than a collaborative one. On the other hand, it's good due di

Same. I wasn't smart enough to make sense of what was going on but the ability to connect a GUI to actions and event was really neat. I still remember marveling at the fact I made a standalone exe---that I could share with the whole wo

I want to respectfully challenge this - many people do still use those tools and still will. But the user experience in Slack is objectively better, especially with large rooms with frequent content (as the OP mentions). I lived in IRC in t

(I realize this library is about PHP - read on for a slight tangent in the Django world) For the Djangonauts in the crowd, has anyone moved from REST to GraphQL in their teams? How's the transition been and what kind of tools did you u

If this person is an indie contractor doing this as a side hustle, I don't think it's a huge deal. I would still omit the story and label it as some open source project from the get go. If this person runs a shop where there'

These things unfortunately happen. I hope you don't get discouraged - plenty of fish and all that.

Personal data point - in my six years of doing this (not fulltime), zero. You can mitigate this risk in the following ways: * Focus on taking in referrals; you're less likely to get hosed if you know a way back to them. * Fixed contrac

Has anyone here climbed Everest? What drove you and what it's like up there? How did you feel afterwards?

I dive (albeit new) and knowing when to abort is taught over and over again. In general, from both theory and practice, the threshold is pretty low. Any kind of physical and mental stress means you surface. I guess what makes Everest so dif

I went to the one in San Mateo a couple weeks ago. It is the only time in life I have seen hobbyists, tinkerers, professional engineers, entrepreneurs, hippies, cosplay fans, university students, and kids under one roof.

Devon, as a contributor to a major open source project, this is really really awesome news. Thanks for all the hard work on it. In lieu of helping out OSS, your CEO put out a proposal awhile back about offering desk space to contributors of

Is type hinting being adopted by Pythonistas today? I've been aware of the feature but haven't used it. To be a modern Python programmer, should I start using it?

Hey, a topic I can comment on in good depth, for a change! Learnings after five years of running a consultancy [0]: * You must communicate better than you know how to code. Knowing how to do the former can offset the latter. * You're a

I'd like the capabilities of Mint without the creds hand off. BofA has starting doing this in their portal but it's not well done. I like the "hack" here - seems BofA supports this kind of alert too. I'd love to fol

So cool to see a CVC success story on here. Congrats Kunal and team!

I've done some contract engineering work for them onsite. Super professional and talented engineers inside.

I sense it too - it's just sluggish enough for me to notice.

How's that work? In every situation I've been in, the landlord opens the place for me, gives a tour, and eventually gives me a key.

It's really cool to see this get legs. Thanks OP for spearheading the effort. It would go a long way towards getting Linux competitive on desktop. I can't donate dev time but I'm happy to donate testing time and to throw in s

I just ran into this when I installed ubuntu and wanted to preserve dual boot. Definitely more room for improvement on the "Just Works" front here.

$1800 is probably your floor. You'd need to get to the east bay and do something like Oakland, Berkeley, or something beyond the hills like WC.

You might have meant "Glassbox". As far as their claim, it sounds like marketing speak. My guess is they're listening to events and then superimposing them on the UI to mimic a screenshot.

Agreed. Have you checked out BestPracticer? I've found it useful and they have a PM section too: https://bestpracticer.com/topic/product-management-151996004...
