    That's a reasonable idea, but unfortunately wouldn't work in my case since the simulation relies on a lot of scientific libraries in Python and I need the inversion to happen on th…

    Awesome, thanks! This is exactly the kind of experienced take I was hoping my blog post would summon =D Re: computing M and s, does torch.quantization.quantize_qat do this or do yo…

    For my application I need just the translations and Euler angles. The range of poses is mechanically constrained so I don't have to worry about gimbal lock. But yeah, my limited un…

    Author here. Lots of questions about precision --- in the article I calculated 0.6mm as the standard deviation of 200ms worth of phase measurements (n=124) while the slide wasn't m…

    Author here. Thanks for writing about Tinkerforge! I hadn't seen it, and it looks like it hits most of the requirements I sketched out: - inexpensive modules: $35 USB-C master per …

    Author here. I agree that the Rust embedded books are a nice read, and the idea of type state programming --- taking advantage of Rust's ownership and generics system to enforce at…

    First, we should be clear that this is my goofy hobby keyboard project --- if I was concerned about safety, I'd have written it in MISRA C or something =D There are many things abo…

    Author here. Both my Zig code and the Rust peripheral access crate model the pins as distinct types, which I think is correct --- the pins have different memory addresses and somet…

    Author here. I considered the enum "solution" but found the match on usize tuples to be clearer because it requires less code. Introducing an enum doesn't help because it neither: …

    I just pushed up a typo fix, thanks for pointing this out!

    Hi friends! Keep in mind that this project was a lark that Nicki ( http://www.nickivance.com/ ) and I literally made in the back of a van for her exact use case. My article is a fu…

    Thanks for trying it out, and I 100% agree with you that it's helpful to "think through all the states that the application can be in". I'd consider Sketch.systems a huge success i…

    Cool, I wasn't aware of that book but I'll look into it! Other resources folks might want to check out are: + David Harel's original paper on the statecharts formalism (which Sketc…

    Hi, I'm one of the creators. One of the use cases we want to support is to make it easy to throw together an idea quickly, and then share that idea with a friend via URL --- just l…

    Haven't heard from OP, but another person emailed me and the issue is likely because Finda relies on AVX2 CPU instructions for fast search. These instructions were introduced in 20…

    Author here. I'm compiling Rust to WASM on another project, so I can address this question. I haven't studied relative perf, so can't make any claims there. But for this applicatio…

    Author here, and happy that you're interested in the software itself rather than the implementation =) I'll probably write a detailed post about file indexing, since it's pretty in…

    Webflow is an web-specific IDE. It's great for production work where you are explicitly targeting the web --- we've actually pointed some of our Kickstarter backers to Webflow afte…

    The desktop app is mostly Clojure, with a handful of Rust for OS interop for things like the clipboard access and file watching. The embeddable engine is written in Rust.
