20 years ago today - in the QF match of Euro 2004, goalkeeper Ricardo is Portugal's hero: he saves Darius Vassell's penalty glove-less and scored the winning kick.

    He gave an interview where he said he took off the the gloves during that penalty to play mind games on the opponent.

    It was not too hard if you are already familiar with Nix. The features supported (and the custom Linux kernel) can be found in surface-linux. For NixOS I used the nix-hardware flake to simplify things.

    The worst part was the compilation of the Linux kernel, that took hours on the surface. Eventually, I used the remote nix build feature to compile on a more capable computer.

    The past few days in Portugal were very windy, might explain the high renewal percentage.

    It is a very misleading number/information.

    Yeah, I don't understand how anyone can think that Portugal is one of the better functioning countries in Western Europe.

    Starting out with robotics without hardware
  • mjpc13 mjpc13 1y ago 100%

    My goal is to figure out a system where I can declare the shape of a robot like this (armature size, number of joints, offsets etc) to create a virtual model of the robot.

    This sounds like URDF.

    Now, I’m sure there are systems and packages that do all the math for this already, so what tools/libraries do you guys use to do modeling like this?

    It is normal to use ROS to send instructions and receive feedback from robots, you can also setup a simulated environment with ROS and Gazebo.

    ROS can be a bit rough to get into, if you need any help, you can post on the ROS community.

  • Rust vs Julia in scientific computing
  • mjpc13 mjpc13 1y ago 100%

    I use both Julia and Rust, I did shot a few times in the foot with Julia (for instance, getting memory leaks on the GPU). Now, I use Julia (the REPL) when I want to quickly script some code and use Pluto.jl to plot data and teach programming.

    Running ROS on the Steam Deck is indeed possible, unlocking a world of opportunities for robotics enthusiasts and professionals. Currently, I am working on integrating the Steam Deck into a system that records multiple sensory inputs (LiDAR, RGBD, IMU, GNSS) into a rosbag, offering portability and real-time monitoring. This setup allows us to assess data quality on the fly, ensuring reliable and accurate results. I believe the Steam Deck holds immense potential for application in the field of robotics. What other projects do you think could take advantage of the Steam Deck's capabilities?

    I think we should have a ros community (display name ROS).
