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.

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • Maybe I'll write something in the future

  • 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.

  • I wanted something like this! I think I'm gonna give this a shot, thank you for sharing your work

  • Is She-Hulk actually bad or are the 'haters' just misogynists?
  • You miss What If? The show with some of the best episodes imo

  • YYYY-MM-DD is easier to get sorted since most significant number is on the left.

  • Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)
  • The past few days in Portugal were very windy, might explain the high renewal percentage.

    It is a very misleading number/information.

  • Tankies on democracy... There's a bit too much to make separate posts, so it'll just be a collection in the comments.
  • Yeah, I don't understand how anyone can think that Portugal is one of the better functioning countries in Western Europe.

  • Reminds me the Max Fosh video of him cooking a meal in an active vulcano

  • www.bbc.com Officials to miss weekend games after penalty error

    Three Premier League officials at the centre of a decision not to award a penalty to Wolves at Manchester United on Monday have been overlooked for this weekend's matches.

    Officials to miss weekend games after penalty error

    First game of the season and we've already have the first apologies from the referees. Top of the table on that front.

    Starting out with robotics without hardware
  • If you are using Unity you can check this online session to get started integrating ROS in Unity.

  • Starting out with robotics without hardware
  • 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
  • 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.

    Stuff Made Here is an awesome channel with rather complex and fun robots and ideas.

  • Make sense. I'll make a comment so you can add me as a mod

  • Mods Wanted!
  • You can add me to c/julia, I already made a post.

  • 2023 Julia User & Developer Survey

    The 2023 Julia User & Developer Survey is now open!

    Julia users and developers are encouraged to participate. The survey is available in English, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese and Korean.

    Results will be presented at JuliaCon in July.

  • I have some experience with Julia (not extensive) I can help to mod if it is added.

  • ROS on the Steam Deck

    discourse.ros.org ROS on Steam Deck

    Not a question, more of a comment… 🤣 It works a treat! I have up on the package manager as I’m new to Arch Linux but installing Noetic using RoboShack and its worked a treat! I got my Turtlebot 3 up and running, got teleop working using the built in controllers, and fired up the SLAM package on t...

    ROS on Steam Deck

    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?
