What matters in the end is the robots we made along the way. That's how the saying goes, right?


Future-of-work stuff aside, I’m always confused when I see bipedal robots. Doesn't make any sense unless one is dealing with rough terrain — and there, four or six legs would probably be better. I guess they're cool for Boston Dynamics investor videos.

For floor work, wheels seem the most logical. There is the issue of loading trucks (which I did at UPS for a couple summers), for that I’m thinking maybe a ceiling-mounted arm that could extend the length of the truck?


When I used to code in C++, I went down a long rabbit hole of compiler optimizations. It's way more complicated than we give developers credit for. Coming from C++ to Rust, I was happy to see that `--release` optimizes (almost) everything for you.


Cameras really have come a long way since the old 15 FPS movies.


That's really creative. Did the creator come up with the design himself?


Creator here. Yes I did. Used some existing puzzles as inspiration. See https://praxispuzzles.com/calendar_puzzle_square


Do we know what caused the outage yet?
