What would be some good examples that most books/tutorials make assumptions on? Thanks

Great point about the command line. I'm looking to craft a tutorial for the /absolute/ beginner. That's why I asked this question. So more feedback the better!

I've been coding for many years and I agree, doing is the best way. I also encourage this method as well. I'm looking to craft a tutorial for the /absolute/ beginner. That's why I asked this question. Thanks!

I'm turning 40 this year too; 2019 I'll be 40. Let's be honest with one another? You need to change your thinking and behavior. It's all mental and you know it. Feed into the bullshit negative thinking and it'll con

I'm curious about what custom devices people are building and what are some of your biggest struggles? If you're not building an IoT device, why? Don't know electronics? Too complex? Too costly?

I haven't yet - I read about it. It would be great to have a small milling machine that sits on the desk and can do PCB for say $200. I would cry :)

I'm open to all options - but it could be done using a nice milling machine thats under $200 and comes recommended, please share the model?

Do shit - do all kinds of shit - go into a shit frenzy if you like! Just stop letting your professional work limit your experiences in programming. So right now, I'm in the "shit frenzy" phase. I'm building small devices

The wheel won't always be spinning. In order to handle that, I'll look to see if the center of the marker has moved by a factor of say 3-4 pixels from it's last known position. I have a list for every point encountered along

I'll certainly read up on this. I noticed the struggles in using gray scale (night vision images) can be tricky. I have a few ideas but I'll certainly look into this. thanks!

Remember - an airplane has never crashed from turbulence. When I was around 8 years old, I was on a flight whose engine blew up. We had to land using one engine. If that doesn’t stop me, then turbulence shouldn’t stop or scare you. Treat it
