I did an experiment a few weeks back as a bit of a litmus test for a new data format my team and I have been working on. I fed the spec documentation into ChatGPT and asked it to w…

I work in the borehole instrumentation industry, and lots of our customers get hyperspectral data from core. I'm working on a new data delivery and management platform, and I've ma…

Oof, that's tough. I'm over here on a blue card, and I found that the initial application and dealing with department of immigration was actually really streamlined. Everything is …

I've noticed the umami flavour that tends to develop when cooking beer for a long time. An Irish stew with Guinness in it, or a gulas using beer as the staple liquid all develop Ve…

For those that aren't aware, it's a free conference focusing on all things open source - https://fosdem.org/2024/

I'm currently on a train from Luxembourg to Brussels. Looking forward to my first FOSDEM experience and seeing what it's all about.

Author here. This is just a bit of technical discussion on the first bring-up and testing of a new design of force/torque sensor that utilises a Stewart platform geometry. The ulti…

Most of the key authors are still with the team, though some of the old crew will start retiring shortly.

These stories are great, and totally resonate with me at the moment. I'm managing a team working on a 30 year old codebase. It is in technical debt, like many codebases that old. T…

I've been working on of these for a little bit as well. I have a prototype that's working, but has a few problems I hope to solve in the next iteration. Mine is based on a Stewart …

Oops, yep, my mistake.

I implemented a well known curve simplification algorithm in Rust, and was pleasantly surprised how easy the interaction with Python was. For packaging, setuptools_rust was great, …
