While the technical Chinese terms haven’t changed much, a lot has changed in the culture and ways to do business; her new text gives pointers on how to engage on Wechat, digital etiquette in China, updated maps, and much more. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_Nicla_Vision-powered_ornament_covertly_spies_on_the presents_below⠀⇛ On the hardware side, Rasic went with an Arduino Nicla Vision board as it contains a camera and the ability to livestream the video feed over the network. A pair of continuous servo motors allow the mobile robot platform to drive along the ground while another set of servos open the ornament’s trapdoor to expose the wheels and carefully lower it from the tree through a clever system of bands and thread. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Forget_The_Altair!_Remember_The_Mark-8!⠀⇛ Calling any one computer the first hobby computer is fraught with peril. Most people think the MITS Altair 8800, first featured in Popular Electronics back in January 1975, was the first. Some might argue that others were first, but there is no doubt that the Altair started the hobby computer revolution from a practical standpoint. However, there was another computer that almost took the crown. It, too, appeared in a magazine — Radio and Electronics. But it was in the July 1974 issue. That computer was the Mark 8, and [Artem Kalinchuk] is building a replica that you can see started in the video below. This isn’t some Arduino work-alike. He has a pile of parts and some almost authentic-looking PCBs. * ⚓ Stephen Smith ☛ My_Raspberry_Pi_Learns_to_Drive⠀⇛ I received an early XMas present of a SunFounder PiCar-X. This is a car that is controlled via a Raspberry Pi, it contains a number of sensors, including a pan-tilt camera, ultrasonic module and a line tracking module, so you can experiment with self-driving programs. It is capable of avoiding obstacles, following objects, tracking lines, and recognizing objects. You can program it using either Python or EzBlocks (a Scratch-like language). It costs under $100 and includes a battery that powers the whole thing, including the on-board Pi. This article is an overview of the assembly and setup process. * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Weekly_Issue_#455_-_So_long,_farewell,_we_love_you_the most_at_Christmas_time⠀⇛ Be excellent to each other Howdy, Elf on the Shelf is not just for children, it would seem. YouTuber Kevin McAleer created a robot to spy on the elf for him, thus saving him the hassle of inventing 24 unique situations to pose the creepy toy in during December.

As it was a bit on the gloomy side so maybe I should preface this post by reiterating that adding module support to C++ is a huge task. All people who have worked on the specification and implementations in the various toolchains have had to do an incredible amount of unrewarding work. Everything said here (and in the previous post) is not to badmouth their existing work. It is merely to say that where we currently are is not a place we want to stay in, we need to move forward to get a better foundation to base decades of future work on. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ James Bennett ☛ Python_packaging:_use_the_“src”⠀⇛ Imagine you write a Python library named, say, foo. And you diligently set up the configuration to package it for distribution (which is not that hard; you can learn the basics of packaging up some Python code in an hour or two, and it’s only when you get into things like bundling compiled extensions in C or other languages that things get annoying). And you also diligently write some tests and periodically run them, and they pass, both on your local machine and in whatever CI you’ve set up. Except one day someone tells you your package doesn’t actually work. Even though the tests are passing. Huh? A surprising amount of the time, this can be traced back to a simple decision: to put the directory foo, containing your library’s main importable Python module, at the top level of the repository (so that if you were looking at it you’d see the pyproject.toml and other config files, and the foo/ directory all alongside each other). The issue with this is that the current directory is, by default, on the Python import path. Which means import foo was always going to work even if your packaging config was broken. That’s why the tests passed: they were still able to successfully import everything they needed. But the packaging wasn’t replicating that structure to someone else’s machine, so they couldn’t use it. o ⚓ James Bennett ☛ Say_what_you_mean_in_a_regex⠀⇛ Suppose you’re writing a blog in Django, and you get to the point where you’re setting up the URLs for the entries.

I like to think of it as a companion terminal to Builder. Though it’s also useful for immutable/container-oriented desktops like Fedora Silverblue or Project_Bluefin where containers are front-and-center. This came out of a prototype I made for the GNOME Builder IDE nearly a decade ago. We already had all the container abstractions so why not expose them as a Terminal Workspace? Prompt extracts the container portion of the code-foundry into a standalone program. My prototype didn’t go anywhere in recent years because I was conflicted. I have a high performance bar for software I ship and VTE wasn’t there yet on Wayland-based compositors which I use. But if you frequent this blog you already know that I reached out to the meticulous VTE maintainers and helped them pick the right battles to nearly double performance this GNOME cycle.

That article triggered a chain of events that would soon lead me into learning how to speak English, collaborate with people on the internet and, eventually, pursue a career in computer science and open source. Since then, It became important for me to replicate pieces of that experience for the younger. Not because I wanted everyone to become a software developer, but because I wanted everyone to experience that genuine satisfaction of learning new things while enjoying it. § A problem of exposition It’s no surprise that video games are often studied and applied in Education. It’s hard to find a better medium that mixes art, math, technology and other STEAM fields. Although there are plenty of tools out there, those that can take a learner all the way from a consumer of a medium to a creator, are rare. There are great low-floor tools but, only a few make attempts to transition the learner into more powerful paradigms and there are great high-ceiling tools but they often are prohibitively complex. It’s not a common realization that professional game development tools are designed for creating games efficiently and justifiably are not designed for a comprehensive learning experience for the young. * ⚓ Lukáš_Tyrychtr:_Down_and_down,_exploring_the_implementation_of_the accessibility_subsystem⠀⇛ Normally, a visually impaired user never encounters the implementation details of the pieces which allow a screen reader to know about accessibility related events and objects. Even a developer writing, say, a GTK application, does not need to care. Actually, even Firefox and Chromium developers are just using the ATK library. Of course, when you are writing a screen reader, you begin to care a little, but you will be most likely using the AT-SPI2 library, which abstracts all the communication and related details, so you have only your trees of accessibility objects, and, yes, the events, which start to be a little bit rough, because they start looking like the low-level ones.
