schestowitz                                        <p>Most of the cost of a generator is from the engine, and alternator or dynamo with inverter. In this case, the engine is in a Toyota Sienna minivan. The vehicle isn’t worth keeping on the road, but the engine still runs well. And that engine has plenty of power for a generator.

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Sep 27 04:55
schestowitz                                        <p>There's this quote I like, "the best model checker is your brain." People who do formal methods find that simply writing the spec is enough to find errors, even without actually running it. It's kind of like if writing a unit test on a piece of paper told you where the bug in your code was.</p>Sep 27 04:55

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Sep 27 04:55
schestowitz                                        <p>For a long time, moteus has had a python library, that lets most people quickly develop motion control applications. However, python is not a suitable solution in every domain. Embedded systems often either don’t have access to python, or cannot tolerate the resource or timing penalties it imposes. In some cases, managing interoperability between python asyncio and systems using legacy pythonSep 27 04:55

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Sep 27 04:55
schestowitz                                        <p> Since roughly the mid 80s all "high quality" print jobs have been done either in PostScript or, nowadays almost exclusively, in PDF. They use the same basic drawing model, which does not have a primitive for circles (or circle arcs). The only primitives they have are straight line segments, rectangles and Bézier curves. None of these can be used to express a circle accurately. You can only doSep 27 04:55
