In the distant future, I might be able to just get out of my car and walk away to let the robots do their thing. But in the near future, any time saving is negated by standing there watching the robo-magic :)

The shittiness of their system goes both ways -- It's not fun running a couple blocks down the road trying to get to an uber that won't drive to you, only to have them cancel and collect the $5.

I'm doing an ME degree right now, and they teach us both Solidworks and Pro-E (now Creo Parametric.) If I remember the results of googling 'Creo vs Solidworks' correctly, Creo is better at handling really big assemblies and i

I love it I'm imagining a sixty year old dude, revered by all around him, who spend the last forty honing his fixed-form Fortran skills. Young engineers gather around him just to marvel at this masterpiece: https://www.youtu

This is what I'm hoping to do with a software background going to more traditional engineering. It's just a little offputting when people talk about the tools they (have) to use -- When I first started, I would never have expected

Oh god agreed. The blog at least isn't blinding, but CCAN is. I feel a bit like the kid who only likes the vidja-games with the fanciest, flashiest graphics but I basically won't tolerate anything less than modern style and typogr

I once nearly 'bricked' my router playing with some custom firmware. That in itself was terrifying, let alone the prospect of 'bricking the rover.'
