ARM boards need a custom kernel and bootloader. These aren't things managed by the distro. The userspace IS managed by the distro and IS standard. Using yocto to manage userspace m…

Modern SBCs are just normal computers and not "embedded" in the traditional sense. You can generally just use Debian, and spend time on the actual project, instead of wrestling wit…

Hear hear. That was has been thoroughly lost.

At least with android devices, you can plug in any usb keyboard, and have it work. Those are free, in the garbage all over the place

A dedicated key for all window-manager things is what people that have thought about it do (I use the "windows" key). But keyboard manufacturers haven't thought about it, so someti…

It sorta looks like they're trying to reinvent Debian, and kinda failing?

Debian has their own nvidia driver packages (it's nvidia's drivers repackaged in a nice way that integrates with the system well). I can't say if they're "outdated" or how differen…

Debian is great, and is where the distro development actually happens. What doesn't it do that you want?

GNU Make has a debugger. This alone makes it far superior to every other build tool I've ever seen. The cmake debugging experience is "run a google search, and try random stuff rec…

I'm suggesting that people creating build systems read the make manual. Surely this isn't controversial?

If you think cmake isn't very good, the solution isn't to add more layers of crap around cmake, but to replace it. Cmake itself exists because a lot of humans haven't bothered to r…

I use vnlog and feedgnuplot to massage and plot data on the console all the time. It's even less than a tui, but might be what you want.

Hello! I'd love it if this and mrcal could work together. Do you support mrcal .cameramodel files? If not, can you do that? Is your splined representation compatible with the mrcal…

I would love for us to move past the idea that non-pinhole projections have "distortion", and we should strive to remove this "distortion" by reprojecting stuff to pinhole models. …

This is real clunky from a browser. https://caltopo.com can do this from a map (right-click on the viewpoint, point-info, simulated view). The horizonator ( https://github.com/dkog…

Macro-economic policy is political. I'm sorry.

This is a new release of the mrcal camera calibration and lens modeling library.

Fun! If you want to compute these yourself and/or if you like hiking into the mathematically middlest-of-nowhere location, here's a good blog post: https://notes.secretsauce.net/no…

Look at pyfltk also. I haven't used the windows builds, but it's real nice on GNU/Linux.
