Yeah, we have one application like that, a big gantry that would be a pain to home. Interestingly, the high res absolute encoder is also used to commutate the servo (it's sine) but the teaching of the commutation is a little nerve wrac

Our nomenclature for servos in machine controls is a little different, for example a traditional 3phase servo with a 3phase hall sensor is still called "servo" even if it doesn't have an optical encoder. With this setup you c

In my mind the main difference is steppers always taking full current, that's why we tend to switch to traditional servos past a certain size or use hybrid steppers like the MDrive

I agree about missing RAII when switching away from C++ but it seems like defer cleans up after enclosing function exits while RAII cleans up when object goes out of scope, which is more fine-grained. Maybe I'm misunderstanding exactly

I had the same thing with my dentist about one of my remaining wisdom teeth, we went back and forth for five years but it finally got bad enough to do something. I opted for a crown though and it's been good and not too bad out of pock

which mapping style do they use? Reminds me of the German maps of my childhood. We have nice forest service maps but the styling isn't as pretty

Oregon is plastered with fruit trees just growing anywhere in public spaces. Most of the time wild trees aren't cared for enough to be useful but there are some exceptions, especially plums.

My state of Oregon is apparently lazy and, I saw on another map this morning, also one of the loneliest.

I took a 100mi ride last week and even for that one event my body fat percentage seems to have shifted. I actually gained a little weight at the same fat percentage. Some of it is retained water but it's been a week so I think some of

I grew up in Germany but my parents wanted us to learn English so we had subscriptions to many US magazines like Time, National Geographic, New Yorker and, most beloved of all, Mad Magazine. Us kids would fight over the issue when it showed

This time of the year I'm inclined to agree but come February I'm ready to head south...

I must be the same age, remember Netware and also LANtastic and others. I worked on a product that let Macs running AppleTalk connect to PC LANs.

Cities were bombed to smithereens but a lot of smaller towns in the countryside were spared. My Dad grew up in Berlin during WWII but my mom just a bit north in Mecklenburg, big difference between their wartime experience.

I grew up not far from this site but have been living in Oregon for 30 years. One of the things that still strikes me when I go back to visit is just how much old stuff was around me in my childhood. Over there it's like "oh, let&

Good list, would have preferred to see Charlotte instead of Emily though.

Ahh, sneaky! I read the article and couldn't figure out what the point was.

No change in my hometown of Corvallis OR but plenty of change in the areas surrounding the Willamette Valley.

I don't agree what what he's writing but I think his style is great, academic writing style but still very readable. I've been asking my kids (students) and my wife (employee) and they don't see this climate at our state

Very very well written but seems like mostly author has an axe to grind with spoiled elites, not that that isn't an axe worth grinding.

Yes, stuff was ridiculously expensive back then. I was lucky that my dad bought an Apple ][ for home use but none of my friends could afford anything like that. All our software was pirated or we wrote it ourselves. I have fond memories of

Thanks, was wondering about the mechanics. Boughs with leaves would droop but needle trees not so much and would be more transmissive in the first place.

So true, moving from C++ to mostly C# I'm liking memory management by GC but hating tracking file handles, sockets, etc. RAII is something I really appreciated

Not sure, maybe I didn't distill out the author's position correctly but it seems intuitive to me. Are books about war popular in war times or do they become popular afterwards? I think there may be something unique about speculat

Tech is unbelievably fantastic: GPS, wireless, lithium batteries, high end displays, etc. have given us extremely useful tools for everyday life. Tech itself is not depressing at all. What is depressing is the current effect it has on socie
