And soon enough it would need a project manager and HR to keep all the agents in line.

usmanmehmood55 | 7 months ago | on: Swarm robotics could spell the end of the assembly line

I went into the article expecting to find useful insights on swarm robotics.

I found nothing but a bunch of buzzwords and a sense that the author doesn't know a thing about swarms OR robotics.

I stopped reading after this.

Comparing it to a 6 year old laptop.

Comparing it to a 5 year old laptop.

Love these comparisons.

usmanmehmood55 | 1 year ago | on: File Pilot: A file explorer built for speed with a modern, robust interface

This is SO much better than Windows explorer! And I'm more than happy to pay for it.

The only issue I have noticed is that the context menu takes a while to open, and it is made worse because of the opening and closing animation. It keeps bugging me because I feel like the context menu of Windows explorer is a bit snappier than this.

I might be wrong but that's what it feels like.

usmanmehmood55 | 1 year ago | on: The subtle art of designing physical controls for cars

I was just thinking about this while checking out the Seedlabs page.

Because now it is somewhat commercially available, and a lot of people (including myself) that previously weren't thinking of having this just because of the hasstle of assembling it themselves, can now consider buying a pre-made unit and play around with it.

I was thinking that it'd be REALLY GREAT if there was an easy way of making "apps" for this smart knob. Kind of like watchfaces or pebble apps. Anything to make it easier for people to play around with this. Maybe a lightweight SDK or something.

I'd be more than happy to contribute to such a thing, but doing this alone is too daunting of a task.

Side note, the 245 EUR price by Seedlabs is equally daunting :(

If you want reassurance, a guy commented "The Trump example on the homepage sounds nothing like Trump."

Looks really nice. For me, GitKraken is the gold standard and my go to app for Git workflows. I'd love to contribute to this.

usmanmehmood55 | 1 year ago | on: Embedded Rust in Production?

I was just about to point this out in my own comment but yours sums it up quite nicely. As an embedded software guy this article gives next to no specifics or details on what the bugs were and how they got solved with Rust.

usmanmehmood55 | 1 year ago | on: Home-Made RTOS on Renode Simulation

Looks really nice. Is there any document or guide comparing it to the common RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr etc)?

Also which boards are supported?

I would have been more confident in myself, my hard work and grit.
