Was thinking the same thing, that is the character 'Aunt Hillary', which is an ant hill. In the Dutch translation (which I read years ago) she's called 'Myra Hoop'. Funny how those translation still make sense, sam

Well, I know they exist, so if the former was a goal, that failed.

Yep, podcasting inbox zero has become quite hard since I started working remotely. No commute is less time for listening to podcasts.

Cool thing about ROS is that is works for all sorts of robots, while MOOS [0] is focussed on autonomous marine vehicles. With ROS, I can have motion planning for a manipulator in hours, then put in on a mobile robot with whatever sort of l

Can you name a few examples? For starters, I assume the IPC protocol in 'ROS classic'/ ROS1 will be on that list, as will catkin. What else?

The answer from the old-fashioned people who didn't believe in open-source would be Microsoft Robotics Studio. MS killed that years ago. Now Microsoft is contributing to ROS2 IIRC with ROS2 running on windows too.

ROS2 is high on my list for learning this year, as well as Rust

Videolang? DuckDuckGo also includes results to VideoLAN of VLC fame. Google does better and shows, well, what this comment section is about.

It certainly is, but there is a merit to `what` too, in a different way of presenting the data.

Oh, I know. But poor countries flooding will have the additional problem of creating a lot of refugees looking to keep their feet dry.

Every time there is elections for the waterboard ("Waterschap"), there is a very low turnout and talks to just merge them into the provincial governments. But I guess we'll only know what we miss once it's gone.

Could be, but would it be fair to only keep your feet dry because you/your country can pay for it?

What's with the `=3D` all over the place? I tried searching for it but that doesn't do much useful unfortunately.

Does anyone know of a OSM tileserver running on IPFS?

That is on the list (not added since your comment): I was just reading that in utter amazement.

Haha, recently bought a new home which also had a safe embedded in the concrete under the flooring.Place was apparently owned by a dude who had been in jail, a few owners back, to add to the 'story'. Key was present but not the co

You might be interested in Belter Creole [0] or Lang Belta from The Expanse. It's spoken by people living in/on the asteroid belt, roughly a century after it being colonized by people from all over Earth. [0] https://e

I've been using Disney+ since they pre-launced in the Netherlands for the last ca. 2 months IIRC, without any issue what so ever. But then again: NL is a small country.

They wanted to, but that was aborted apparently, as per https://twitter.com/SpaceXFleet/status/1193853341475979266 via https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/du07rt/rspacex_st

I think the market is pretty into ROS2 actually, its just the PhDs and grad students that will be on ROS1 for a longer time because they don't have the resources to make any switch. Amazon and a lot of other companies are big on ROS2.

gRPC, ZeroMQ, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, there's a whole bunch of them. The decision to use DDS is explained here in https://design.ros2.org/articles/ros_on_dds.html

I've been using ROS for some 8+ years now, for university projects, competitions like RoboCup@Home and for work on robots operating in the wild, on water, land and among people in malls etc. I've seen many RoboCup teams convert fr

I've seen IPC tools be built from scratch or on top of more popular stuff in several companies I worked in, unfortunately. ROS2 is building on DDS, which is a standardized protocol and has implementations from multiple vendors as well

What would you pay to have such a machine in your home? A washer and a dryer are in the 500-1000 euro range, would you pay eg. 10.000 euro (or dollar for that matter) for a machine that folds laundry? The difficulty with home robotics is pr
