how to defend against the dark arts...? I mean, against segmentation faults?
Maybe a v2.0 is needed? What features do you guys normally use that's not addressed by this set-up?
Anyone get the message about #Hawaii? The EAS bird site says it was an accident, but their official website is down. Which, I assume is because so many people are trying to view it

Shown here is a germinating bell #pepper that finally decided to reach the soil surface after about 2 weeks of hiding/being born. p.s. putting it in an egg shell doesn't really help, especially since the goal is to transplant it elsewhere after it grows a bit.
News Update. About 1 week ago, I planted 3 (count 'em 3) coffee seeds in a 20% compost soil mixture indoors. Here's hoping for a 33% germination rate, and I shall report on the outcome in a future blog post. The seeds seemed to have already been 'scared' prior to planting, but I'm unsure if that's mandatory for them. In related news, radishes were the first to start growing (only took 2 days), and my tomato seeds sprouted after 6 days. Unfortunately, the outdoors seeds are protesting. It's cold.

I'm alive. currently, attempting to create a client-server networking architecture for the hexy.
STL files are big.. and the difference between course and fine meshes of the same objects can be a difference of 90 MB! My CAD folder grew by a gig overnight..
@joule If you are the only author (nobody else is getting their name on the paper), then you do not use "we".
But when it's only a single author/researcher, you don't need to use "I" either. Instead, adjust the writing so pronouns are eliminated. It can be done and it makes the copy read better too.

I like how (almost) every robotics paper references
Denavit, j.,R.S. Hartenberg.” A kinematic Notation for Lower – Pair Mechanisms Based on Matrices.” ASME Journal of Applied
Mechanics, June 1955, 215 - 221
Note that this is a paper from 1955, and it's usually number one or at least in the top three on various citation pages.
#Report writing question: if you don't have someone else on your team, should you use the word we? Like in, "We look at equation 4.2 and then multiple by 1. When we examine the..."
They tell me never to use the word "I" in a report, but if it's solo work, and you're teamless, it doesn't sound right to put in, "we."
"We.." Just me, myself, and..
Imagine being a #roboticist complaining that she got replaced by a robot. It's sorta like a petroleum engineering choking on the smog on his way to work.
I just don't understand ties. I just don't. I'm sorry.

As a roboticist, you need to have a right hand. Sign conventions will get ya. It's called the right-hand rule for a reason. Why? Because there was literally a convention at some point and they had a vote. Turns out, there were more right handed people than left handed ones in the quorum that day. That undergrad in the physics lobby doing weird stuff with her hands? It ain't sign language.
