I'm using an RPi as the main compute module for an Autonomous Radio Controlled Car. It's similar to a Donkey Car, but not using ROS (at the moment). Project is documented here: https://medium.com/@mikkelwilson/autonomous-rc-car-part-0-6e... (This is not a commercial project; just for fun)

I'm very interested to see how OpenCV 4 and YOLOv3 object detection will run on the new RPi. At the current trajectory I will have to upgrade to a Jetson Nano to get hardware acceleration (CUDA), but resorting to specialty hardware seems like cheating.

They also make a great prototyping platform for IoT projects. I've built 802.11.4 (Zigbee) mesh radio networks for passing small messages across neighborhood distances.

Previously I used an RPi to run an Airplay Bridge to my Sonos speakers. This has since been supplanted by AirPlay 2, which Sonos supports.

Paul Allen's Living Computer Museum + Lab in Seattle may want them. Anyone have a contact there to put them in touch?

Write a DSL. This is really easy in languages like Ruby that don't need parentheses around function parameters. You can write a Ruby DSL in a few hours and expand on syntax, features as you like.

The next step is to actually parse code with an abstract syntax tree. The easy path here is actually javascript. There are many transpilers for JS so things like bluebird/harmony can work.

Next step is to do thing "the right way"(tm) with yak/bison and build a compilable language. For that, I suggest you read a few books on languages and understand concepts such as backus-naur form before continuing.

Have you applied for unemployment? State benefits may not fully pay the rent but should help. You'll likely need to supply proof that you're looking for work but that sounds like your plan anyway.

That's how I read this as well. It does appear that a simple DNS proxy would accomplish the same goal without all the encryption. Are we missing something?
