    A few years ago GSoC students could get directly get an interview at Google, but the rule has been changed since then and I don't think they use GSoC for recruiting anymore.

    Glad to see Google keeping this alive! I benefited a lot from participating in the GSoC program twice and I probably wouldn't be where I am right now without it! It can't be overst…

    I love the integrated terminal too! It's such a great idea which is now integral to my workflow.

    That website is incredible. I had no idea I would be so engrossed in reading about the size and shape of map labels and the shape of building in a phone map application.

    This was a great resource when I was learning about the KF, EKF, and UKF last year :-) Thanks a lot for making this!

    I really like Skydio's product but they've priced themselves out of being a competitor to most of DJI's drones. Of course, all the hardware for their autonomy engine (Jetson TX2 wi…

    This reminds my childhood computer stories and how I got into using Linux in 10th grade. My parents installed the K9 Website blocker on Windows which was (is?) a pretty strong doma…

    This is awesome. I'd love to read the SD card repair post, because I have a Model 3B+ which died four weeks after I bought it in a quadcopter accident. My suspicion is that the pro…

    No, I don't think single use batteries have been on handheld consoles since the OG GBA :-) But the 3DS/XL's Li-ion battery is pretty easy to replace with a screwdriver.

    The 3DS (especially if you can pick up a used one) is actually an excellent choice for access to almost all of Nintendo's handheld library after installing the custom firmware hack…

    KDE Neon ( https://neon.kde.org/ ) is pretty great. It's based off the latest LTS version of Ubuntu, but is less bloated and gets KDE Frameworks updates quicker than Kubuntu.

    Yes, the way to test your own camera is to connect it to your computer and launch APStreamline. As the sibling comment suggested, feel free to add a GitHub issue if you want your c…

    Yes! This uses the H264 stream encoded by the C920 so you will be able to get an HD stream even on low powered devices such as the Raspberry Pi.
