    Similar to how the International Space Station maintains its orientation, the teams scaled prototype system relies on a rotating flywheel that generates large amounts of angular momentum in a certain axis. A brushless DC motor and driver are responsible for spinning up the circular mass, while a servo motor on one side rotates the cradle to the desired angle. All of this is done with an Arduino Uno that [08:18] schestowitz monitors the boats current orientation by taking measurements from an IMU.

They don't care about GNU/Linux either. They're Microsoft pushers. [19:02] schestowitz [19:51] thanks, but back to technical aspects [19:02] schestowitz [19:51] notably github [19:02] schestowitz [19:51] did he ever mention mono by name? [19:02] schestowitz [19:52] I asked him if he still used to linux on his laptop [19:02] schestowitz [19:52] Uses OS X [19:02] schestowitz [19:52] mono people never cared about freedom [19:02] schestowitz [19:53] To be perfectly clear Alex was unemployed when we were together [19:02] schestowitz [19:53] Described himself as semi retired [19:02] schestowitz [19:53] lol [19:02] schestowitz [19:53] He had just moved to Austin [19:02] schestowitz [19:54] He was living with his father, step mother and 11 year old half brother [19:02] schestowitz [19:54] Why this was acceptable to me? [19:02] schestowitz [19:54] He explained it as being there to help his father with dialysis treatments [19:02] schestowitz [19:54] Which sounded honorable [19:02] schestowitz [19:55] Anyways I know that's not super of interest but We didn't talk about his work that much [19:02] schestowitz [19:55] He introduced himself mostly based off the dropbox paper thing [19:02] schestowitz [19:55] He complained that he had been unfairly forced out [19:02] schestowitz [19:56] Which made sense because I've seen a lot of the start of drama and a lot of it is people getting pushed out once the product is valuable to gain control over the money [19:02] schestowitz [19:56] I later learned that the reason why Alex was actually pushed out of dropbox was because he was verbally abusive to his coworkers [19:02] schestowitz [19:56] Who knows maybe dropbox would've never pushed him out if they weren't trying to steal his work or whatever [19:02] schestowitz [19:57] Maybe the only reason they validated the abuse claims was because they wanted his work and wanted to cut his equity deal [19:02] schestowitz [19:57] From my experience that seems likely [19:03] schestowitz [19:58] i see [19:03] schestowitz [19:58] with regards to the github stuff there was always an underlying threat that He would tell his network and ruin me if I didn't comply [19:03] schestowitz [19:59] A few months after the break Up there was this weird situation at my job [19:03] schestowitz [19:59] This was before Covid and we were in the office [19:03] schestowitz [19:59] The CTO of my company was visiting from San Francisco in the Austin office [19:03] schestowitz [20:00] He stood by my desk and loudly bragged about how he was friends with Nat and kept glancing at me [19:03] schestowitz [20:00] Maybe it was a coincidence and everybody likes to name drop [19:03] schestowitz [20:00] Brian xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [19:03] schestowitz [20:01] Who honestly doesn't have the right credentials to be a CTO, but BigCommerce is a technical nightmare [19:41] *Techrights-sec has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [19:41] *schestowitz-TR has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [19:41] *schestowitz-TR2 (~acer-box@freenode/user/schestowitz) has joined #techbytes [19:42] *Techrights-sec (~quassel@freenode-tqb26p.am6e.nqgd.t29qgt.IP) has joined #techbytes [19:45] *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:45] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● May 08 [20:03] *rianne_ (~rianne@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techbytes [20:03] *asusbox (~rianne@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techbytes ● May 08 [22:15] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● May 08 [23:38] schestowitz > Good Evening, [23:38] schestowitz > [23:38] schestowitz > Thank you for your email.

[23:49] schestowitz The Kosovo stuff struck a nerve to the point where merely linking to it got TuxMachines an email from one of (IIRC) the organisers. [23:49] schestowitz The "Mossad" post was problematic for deducing one's nationality implies Mossad employment; it's like accusing every American Debian developer of being a CIA mole. [23:49] schestowitz I've run Boycott Novell since 2006 and I know one single factual error or claim that cannot be supported can undo or distract from a lot of factual writing. [23:49] schestowitz Pesky SLAPP letters can also be discouraged in a number of ways. One of several ways is to make copies all over the place, overwhelming them with "targets". [23:49] schestowitz Don't try to defend yourself/ves in social control media; you would waste your time as it's designed to make corporate-leaning mobs always win. Not just because of CoC but also the scale. [23:49] schestowitz If you post something that cannot be supported, it'll harm you and us too, as we are perceived as 'connected'.
