Cool, it sounds like Skyfield is intentionally made interoperable with AstroPy: > While Skyfield itself has no dependency on the AstroPy library, it’s willing to accept AstroPy time objects as input and return results in native AstroPy u

Is it possible to downvote a submission? Do you mean flagging? That doesn’t seem appropriate for something that’s simply uninteresting, based on the site guidelines: > If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it.

My computing environment mostly consists of a browser and tmux, with vim for editing. A few months ago I wanted to try Github Copilot, so I signed up for the trial thinking I could use it in Codespaces. Eventually I gave up and installed VS

My most wanted Instant Pot modification is to replace the beeps it makes when it reaches pressure. It should play a chiptune version of Queen’s “Under Pressure” Edit: mine might only beep when the timer expires, but that’s still a great opp

Pushback is nothing like “a bump” The nose starts lifting and it’s quite obvious. I’ve heard the term “Captain Morganing” in multiple groups of riders, because that’s how it feels if you’re not aggressively leaning into it to go faster. The

Simply carving , which is how you turn, requires some balancing by the rider. Going fast over anything but ideal terrain also requires active balancing. If you ride one in any capacity beyond a few mph in a parking lot, you’ll feel it in

Sounds like a great improvement. I just installed it on my GT, looking forward to trying it out. If you have more technical details I’m interested to understand how it works. In the distant past I started my career in a power electronics re

Yes that’s correct, the firmware update is to provide haptic feedback by modulating the motor to cause vibration. It sounds like a great idea, hopefully it works well.

It has a very obvious pushback effect. I haven’t ridden an EUC, but I suspect the difference is you only have part of each foot as leverage to counteract it, so the device can more easily counteract the rider trying to push through it. Turn

Another good option for new riders is to learn to use a balance board first (like a Vew-Do). At the very least, step on the Onewheel while it’s powered off, slowly raise it to level and hold, then alternate slowly setting down each end and

If the rider is actively balancing then it doesn’t need to immediately nosedive. In reality that’s the usual effect, but keeping a low center of gravity and trying to keep it balanced go a long way toward a smoother slide/roll instead

by thinkmassive 3y ago
You’re riding a Onewheel, you lift your foot completely off the back of the board. How is it physically possible for the Onewheel to continue self balancing in this state?

> there’s no obvious reason the balance-assist system couldn’t be designed to stay on for a while after the motor stops Amazing, would love to hear how this works!

Yes, if you push through the pushback then you can get it going to the motor’s limit. What do you think should happen at that edge case? Preferably in a way that adheres to physics…

They can also be extremely fun! It’s unfortunate that so many people fail to recognize the inherent danger and choose to blame the device instead of their abilities. Anyone who can’t control their balance on the fulcrum of a kart tire — u

I’ll also point out that I’m a FOSS fanatic, and I completely agree that single-wheeled self-balancing boards will gain increased reliability and performance thanks to the VESC community openly sharing their progress. This is orthogonal to

by thinkmassive 3y ago
That’s literally impossible. It can only balance within its operating limits.

by thinkmassive 3y ago
The VESC community is extraordinarily impressive. At the same time, I’m doubtful that software bugs in the proprietary code are related to the vast majority of these failures people describe. The only legitimate issues I’ve seen are caused
