That's me! I'm helping our partners at OpenCV. They really need our support, I hope you can also help with a minimum donation, they are planning really cool things for OpenCV 5, and you can help them reach that goal.

It's easy to ignore that the projects we depend on daily might not be well-funded and are at risk of disappearing. The second best thing to commit contributions is cash!

They are ramping up their corporate membership program. Hopefully, companies also see the benefit of supporting. Thanks for the donation

Worth it! Thanks for donating

Thanks for donating!

Great just donated, OpenCV has really helped me in my professional career, hoping more companies also donate to the campaign.

In retrospective I wish I had read more this year.

- Foundation series (Foundation, 2nd Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Foundations Edge, Foundation and Earth)

- Three Body Problem (trilogy)

- Artemis

The technology has certainly reached a point where you can quickly put product prototypes together, the current regulations around the world finally allow for commercial use of drones, companies are beginning to invest more in the many drone verticals (some of which are still being defined, like delivery), and communities are being formed to host industry collaboration, I think this is a great time for the "Drone industry" regardless fo where you are. I work for the Linux Foundation, I'm the Program Manager for Dronecode (dronecode.org), we host some of the most successful open source drone projects and give companies a vendor-neutral governance where they can freely collaborate. At our core, the project that runs this community is our autopilot, PX4, the project was started 10 years ago in a lab at (surprise) ETH Zurich by (now Ph.D.) @LorenzMeier (Github), the autopilot is being used in some of the products you see every day, has an ecosystem of tools, all of which is actively being maintained. You can find more info on the autopilot on px4.io

To @KirinDave point, yes this technology is available and you can start working on Drones now, the Drone community is very welcoming, I think its a side effect of having to apply technology from other communities, like computer vision.

Yes, our major libraries provide a basic API to talk MAVLink back to your Flight Controller, keep basic things like Vehicle state, events, mavlink message builder.

Dronekit (http://dronekit.io/)

We work on developer tools and apis for drone development.

Currently looking for contributors on all fields, Documentation, Python, Android, Swift, C++, Rust, and Community Management.

We are looking for iOS devs to help us create an ios-dronekit library.

You can find us on some of Gitter channels from our most notable projects. (gitter links on readme)

Thanks - mrpollo

send me a copy of your resume `ramon at 3dr dot com`

an Inspire 1 is hardly a toy, it's a professional drone.

It would be a great addition to be able to upvote/downvote from the extension, and see an overview of who made the post (user) with karma details

I think he meant developing/prototyping ideas not actually releasing them

I believe its restricted by a Geofence

thanks for that, I think I'm about to spend some money, Trader Joes + Amazon Prime == fastest way to get my money

Yeah we noticed that, its back up, THANKS for cache link :)

I've been using MacVim for close to 3 years now w/o any slowness, CtrlP (plugin) sometimes gets buggy with large projects but aside from that buffer navigation is always good, but then again I'm running on SSD and maxed out ram on my mbp.

I also use Janus https://github.com/carlhuda/janus so i might be a victim of improvements made by them.

Speed is the #1 reason I switched to Vim

Seems like people here are more inclined to use mailto links and I agree since sending from our mail app gives us a clearer path onto whats going on and certainty that the email at least went out, but being honest what's the ratio between people that really know how a contact form works and people that don't really care?

A good solution would be to create a new link on the form overlay that presents the users with the option of just using their mail app in case someone still doesn't want to use the form.

I think you have a great product it does take away the pain from administering a contact form, as simple as it might sound this is a cumbersome task for many people that don't have the technical skills to understand all the pieces that go into creating one, well done!

Question, how are you fighting spam?, from what I can tell you are obfuscating the email once your code bootstraps the <anchor tags>, what happens if spammer isn't using an environment that executes JS

Haven't heard of Stylish, I'll take a look, maybe its inserting a link tag to the html.

I'm pretty sure I'm leaving something out.

I guess it depends on what you are using to add the styles to the site, you can insert a style tag or you can do an extension, for chrome I used Stylebot, for both my styles work fine, if you are planning on adding the styles via link tag the css engine is going to parse them and add them to the bottom of the stack thus having less priority hence the need for the !important attribute on some rules that aren't specific enough.

I created an Engadget style, in case someone is interested https://github.com/mrpollo/engadget-user-style

Couldn't agree more, "Slim HTML5 Boilerplate" would be a better title

Agreed the NYT is a clear winner, but lets wait a couple of hours for the West coast results to start kicking in, lets see how they handle the load, its just nice go have google as a backup.

  "The world should provide me my computing environment and maintain it for me and make it available everywhere."

Reminds me of the mini glass that Tony Stark is carrying with him all around the 2nd Iron Man movie, see here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9694286/iron-man-computer.jpeg

In the movie Tony (Iron Man) can control the infrastructure around him with this device, just like Rob Pike described.

nice catch, the longer you stay on the README tab the longer it warps

I get your point but, while offline you could still get infected via physical media USB, CD, FLOPPY.

What I'm trying to say is that if a nuclear facility got hit and their machines where offline (from the internet) its still possibly to infect the rails using the Stuxnet attack vector.

But yes the claims are sensationalist, a better solution would be to increase security protocols and make standards out of those and have companies follow those in a more strict way.
