• Codevis Weekly Update [Ed: Seems wrong to post this in Microsoft Github]

  Codevis is a tool to help developers manage large codebases, sponsored by Bloomberg, developed by Codethink and hosted on the KDE Infrastructure, with all that, completely opensource with a permissive license. Codevis uses a mix of technologies to do what it does, mainly LLVM and Clang to do the heavy lifting of understanding C++ Codebases, Qt for Callback management (in the form of Signal/Slots), KDE Frameworks libraries for the desktop application, and pure Qt for the CLI application. The database layer is written with Soci , the same database layer used in CERN, targeting sqlite3.

• pi3hat C++ bindings update

  The pi3hat repository, in addition to hosting a library for sending raw CAN frames using the pi3hat, has long had example source code demonstrating how to use that to communicate with a moteus controller. Recently however, C++ bindings were officially added to the primary moteus repository, that provide a more consistent, flexible and complete interface … Continue reading pi3hat C++ bindings update →

• R-Guru.com Cheat Sheet for Statistical Programmers

  This R-Guru cheat sheet is ideal for Statistical Programmers since it contains best practice examples for creating and updating tibbles in the pharma industry.

• Title: Mastering Legends in R: Drawing Them Outside the Plot

  Of course, Steve! I’d be delighted to help you write an engaging blog post about drawing a legend outside of a plot in base R. It’s a handy skill for R programmers, and I’m sure your readers will appreciate the guidance.

• Fluid Simulation Does The Math

  If you like math, you should enjoy [kynd’s] page about simulating fluid in p5.js. You might still enjoy the pretty colors and shapes if you aren’t into math. What’s scary is that the page promises to have as little math as possible, but there’s still quite a bit. Of course, we are sure you could go even deeper down the rabbit hole.
