Gosh, I really miss TA. I never felt like another RTS matched TA for variability, even though I basically only ever played against one friend.

Sort of equivalent to this (installing Linux on a dead badger): http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/articles/installing-l...

It appears to be only T-Mobile that is down presently (https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128), likely that those making calls to T-Mobile phones are representing outages on their networks.

Locus Robotics | UI-Robotics | Wilmington, MA | Onsite, Remote | http://www.locusrobotics.com/about-us/careers/ Locus Robotics has developed a field-proven solution for improving productivity in rapidly growing and strategic warehouses operations around the world. Our mobile, autonomous robots work together with human warehouse associates to deliver real and measurable business value. Our incredible technology is solving a real problem in fast growing and diverse market segments. An important challenge of any robotic system is enabling their use by non-experts. It will be your role to define how users will interact with and control the system during tasks such as mapping, calibration, and maintenance. Working with a small team of dedicated roboticists, you will develop, build and test a practical robotics solution for a rapidly-evolving market, e-commerce fulfillment solutions. We work and iterate quickly with very cool tech, have a transparent company culture and work environment and have a fully-stocked kitchen! Responsibilities: -Define our Web/UI technology stack with whatever architecture and technology fits the bill. -Design sensible frontend APIs (REST or otherwise) for a distributed software system. -Create user workflows for setup, operation, and maintenance tasks.

Requirements: -Proficiency with JavaScript. -Familiarity with Python, RDBMS systems. -Familiarity working within a Linux environment. -3+ years of experience developing and shipping production software. -Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience. -Experience working with ROS, Robotics, or physical hardware.

The "Season Only" Episodes are, in this case, behind the scenes type things. You can buy 1 by 1 without issue, I've been doing the same. The other nice thing (I think it's new) is that Google Play will deduct the price of episodes you've purchased individually from the season price if you do decide you want the whole thing later.

Agreed, lack of ECC support is the thing that makes this laptop almost perfect. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

We use Dell's Precision 15 5000 laptops. We get them with a Xeon E3-1505M and Quadro M1000M, which performs great in what we're doing (simulation, extremely multithreaded sensor processing, etc.). They're not cheap, but if you want "the best", I'd say they're a good candidate.

They're just targeting different markets. Otto is largely targeting manufacturing, Locus is targeting e-commerce and fulfillment more. The morphology of the robots follows from that.

That's not strictly true. The Locus system isn't a Kiva drop-in, it's a next-gen system as well.

Was anyone else disappointed that this wasn't an article about the engineering behind the tennis racket?

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
