No. No, it isn't. Lynx is a browser I use in the terminal. This is something else.

Can confirm. $DAYJOB makes robots subject to hard worst-case latency constraints. The product runs on QNX.

Can confirm https://github.com/jonls/redshift works great; been using it for years.

Whoops, sorry. I must have repressed that trauma.

You treat it like the metaphorical toxic waste it is: avoid it at all costs. You don't need ROS to get a dependency manager, a build system, a middleware, and/or a process manager.

Can confirm. I am a grown man and my professional work with ROS has made me cry.

My colleagues and I used to joke that any build system issue you encounter will be addressed in next year's build system. * https://wiki.ros.org/rosbuild * https://wiki.ros.org/catkin * https:/&#

I have worked in two failed and failing startups that invested heavily in ROS. I could fill several volumes with "ROS Gotchas". Everything in the ROS stack is either a useless curio or an on-fire clown car. Using ROS is a great wa

This is not a comment about open/closed-source software and/or licensing models. Projects like this never fail to impress me vis-a-vis source obfuscation. The 'generate.pyz' is an interesting twist on the usual practice.

I have been looking for something like this. Got a link to your project?

Times like this really bolster my distrust and hatred for those horrible dkms installers. Thank you, nvidia, for living up to my worst expectations.

I'm interested in doing something similar, except using a board with open-source firmware. What kind of options do I have (if any)?

I'm putting qnx cross-toolchains into Debian packages because $DAYJOB builds qnx images in ubuntu containers. I've learned a lot about cross-toolchains and my appreciation for blackberry's technical prowess has never been low

I can't wait to see the shell equivalents for ptrace, setjmp, and dlopen.

What I remember about ROOT Cint is that it was an absolute nightmare to work with, mostly because it couldn't do STL containers very well. It was a weird time to do language interop for physicists.

SICP was one of my course texts and introduction to the scheme language. It is a masterpiece of a computer science book with a staggering breadth of applications.

I came here for this and I will not be shamed.

I usually start with the `dh_make` generated skeleton and incrementally add overrides as I iterate with `gbp buildpackage`. It's not pretty, but it's what I know.

If we can push Ubuntu out of the pole position, then I think we can solidify Alpine as the next great Linux distribution. I am all for simpler packaging. I do fear, though, that Debian packaging has absorbed some necessary complexity that A

I have both hated and appreciated debian packaging, largely depending on the thing I was trying to package at the time. Things implemented in C/C++ and built with vanilla cmake are feasible. Other things get complicated very quickly. I

Hi! Given that I've invested 8 years learning and using debhelper, how does this affect me and my tooling?
