I'm in the field and I disagree with the initial direction of this post. You aren't going to 'learn robotics' in a meaningful manner by checking the boxes in a online ROS2 course. Robotics is a compound discipline which

TBH 1 hr commute is fine if it never includes gridlock or slow traffic. Driving sans annoyances is quite zen and changing conditions can be fun. The worst part is increased vehicle maintenance but if the job is worth it then who cares.

This has been going on for years. A large part of it, at least in my experience, is people who object to scooters being parked in a manner that blocks pedestrian or cyclist paths. One particularly funny incident I'm aware of involved a

You make a good point about the Lean/Kaizen/JIT philosophies + headcount. I've always been associated with mid-size (< 500 million/yr) where much of that 'wisdom' sounded good but didn't work out so wel

Why do you go straight from upper-middle to elite? Is this something peculiar to the UK which I am missing? As a US citizen, I am used to upper-middle class lacking the purchasing power you describe (not that people don't try to compen

That sounds nice, but don't rent to your friends. I've been there and it sucks. Everything works great until someone hits the hard times and the resource imbalance between parties gets amplified. You're either going to end up

If you take the definition of tilde from tilde.verse {tildes are pubnixes in the spirit of tilde.club, which was created in 2014 by paul ford} then it should be relatively straightforward to see why that address is related.

The problem with Discord is that it doesn't allow for servers in the same way a protocol like IRC does. Some commenters have alluded to this. From a quick glance, revolt.chat doesn't allow for server creation either. Am I mistaken
