I’m a robotics researcher. My interests include cybersecurity, repeatable & reproducible research, as well as open source robotics and rust programing.

5·2 months agoStill kind of sad that the transflective display technology demoed in the $100 laptop project from a decade or so ago never took off.
Personally, I’ve been happy using an LG TV for a single monitor setup. I have had to switch to KDE Plasma v6 for better font rendering given its unusual OLED pixel layout, as well as for native HDR support. But it’s been nice to have a large physical font while still at default DPI. Although, I wouldn’t’t mind upgrading to 8K later when they get affordable, as the smallest 4K TVs at 42" happen to push the physical DPI down towards that of just 1440p panel.
The only experience I have with working with Fortran would be setting up
gfortranwhen building SciPy from source, and perusing its codebase to see how it’s FFT functions were so optimized. Not enough to diligently mod I’m afraid.
I was thinking of cross posting this to a Fortran community, but it looks like we don’t yet have one.

I’m not sure why, but GitHub’s search engine, Blackbird, seems to be returning some erroneous results for this query:
/tnt_select\(.*2\^32/ language:C++ OR language:C
Any chance you could narrow down your search to a list of repose that use the library that pulls in
tnt_select()function, then clone and manually grep just those, or is it’s use too common to index by?Real funny that even narrowing down GitHub search to just the same repo doesn’t help the query results:
repo:ocelot-inc/ocelotgui ldbms_tnt_select

Perhaps, is there an engineering meme community I could cross post this to?
How did you delimit the leaf pattern so evenly around the circumference of the brim of the bowl? Did you use a rotary indexer and a wood burning jig?

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.
2·1 year agoI’ll note that when using multiple windows, I recall that switching the user in one window would switch the user for all other windows as well, so support for simultaneous user sessions would probably have to be added as well.
Do we have a community for computer architectures or computer science on this instance or anywhere else?
4·1 year agoCall it WebOS or something.
Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS
It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.
I don’t know of many recorded audio books, but you could also use a Text to Speech engine to listen to any technical blogs or articles. I use Android apps like Pocket or T2S to queue up a backlog of TODO read items, then when I’m out for a long walk, I can just press play and let the TTS do it’s thing. Of course, I curate this list for longer pure text reads, devoid of code snippets, equations, or visual graphics that TTS would have a tough time conveying over audio.
Looks like I may need to find a successor to pocket. They do a great job scraping connect via readable mode, but I’d like to find a shelf hosted or mobile+offline app equivalent for queuing up web articles, just in case pocket gets cut from further development by Mozilla management.

Woops, yep.
Pro tip: If you check the conical URL (youtube.com) first, the Lemmy web UI will help catch reposts before they are accidentally submitted.
I switched from using the short (e.g youtube.be) or external URL mirrors for that same reason, and just let the bots comment with privacy mirrors for those who prefer. Using the conical URL, aside from cross post detection, also ensures the thumbnail image and preview text get cached consistently.
This screenshot was from a Samsung Tab S8 Ultra. You can run 4 onscreen apps at a time (if you include a floating popup window in the mix) with multi windowing on Android 13 (outside Dex).
Getting the screenshot took a little tinkering, as after the first window split, getting the third instance of sync on the screen required using the Samsung side panel to drop an unrelated app in the third quadrant, then using the launcher to alt-tab the display to Fullscreen the third instance of sync, then alt-tabing back to Fullscreen the 3 app multi window view, then using the quick app switch gesture to swap out the unrelated app for the third instance of sync. It was a little overly complicated.
Multi tasking and window tiling in Samsung Dex is a lot easier, or more intuitive, to replicate the kind of thing, but I still prefer androids native launcher layout, as app windows don’t have needless title bars, and the same navigation gestures work better when not breaking out the mouse and keyboard.
Have you had any luck with projectors for coding? I’ve only ever used them for large mob-programming sessions, like during hackathons. I feel like the low/narrow contrast of projectors makes it hard to use for dark mode, not to mention the space real estate requirements. :P
