New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework

Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework 11 by a_t48 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we've been working for the past six months. It's a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it's better to launch a bit before you think you're ready. It's a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++ publishers/subscribers directly, you declare the topics and types your code cares about in a configuration file, along with conditions on those inputs. Doing this allows for deep knowledge about the code running, which unlocks the possibility of deterministic simulation and testing (along with mak...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell

Show HN: I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell 8 by dirkc | 3 comments on Hacker News. I didn’t have a doorbell before (multiple reasons) and my house feels unwelcoming without one. So I built a doorbell app that uses a QR code - visitors scan the QR code to ring the doorbell and I get notified on my phone. Here is an example of the QR code I have on my door. You can scan it and say hello: https://ift.tt/YTE9hl8 This was also a great excuse to build my first app for Android and iPhone. I’d love to get some feedback before I spend more time polishing the app. Please try it out and feel free to ask me any questions! No logins or accounts needed.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I made a git rebase TUI editor

Show HN: I made a git rebase TUI editor 15 by NyuB | 0 comments on Hacker News. I use interactive rebase quite often, and particularly like the editor bundled with IntelliJ. But I do not always work with IntelliJ, and am not 'fluent' with Vim, so I tried to replicate roughly the same rebase experience within a TUI. I used a small TUI OCaml project i made last year. The notable features are: - Move commits up and down, fixup, drop - Rename commits from the editor (without having to stop for a reword during the rebase run) - Visualize modified files along commits - 'Explode' a commit ,creating a commit for each modified file (a thing I found myself doing quite often) Feedbacks (both on the tool and the code) and contributions welcome, hope it could fit other people needs too !
