Working on https://flakiness.io: GitHub-native test analytics. I worked on Playwright before, and this project started as a natural continuation of that work. We’ve since expanded beyond Playwright to support many popular test runners.
The idea is to connect test results and artifacts with commit history. Test reports should know whether a failure is new, whether a test has been flaky before, and which commit made a test start running 5x slower.
If you maintain an open-source GitHub project with tests, please give it a try. The free plan is a good fit for OSS projects: 1GB of storage is enough for roughly 10M+ test results.
I'm very surprised to see the rapid advancement in robotics these days. After all the fancy demos of Boston Dynamics and others from 10 years ago, and no real advancement beyond them, we kinda learned to treat robotics as "fancy toys".
Now, this feels to me very much like a Deep Blue moment in chess, when to everyone's surprise it won over Garry Kasparov 3.5 to 2.5. 20 years in, and no one even considers competing with chess engines.
This Ace robot won over table tennis professionals in 3 matches and lost in 2. Even the score is similar. I wonder what it'll all look like in 20 years from now.
- Any FPV controller that connects to laptop. 2 solid choices are TBS Tango 2 or DJI FPV Remote Controller [3]
I spent ~20 hours in the sim before advancing to real drones; a few of my friends followed this path and successfully passed an improvised exam on real drone after just ~10 hours in the sim.
As for the drone itself, the easiest setup is probably DJI Avata [4], but it's less of the proper "FPV feel". I personally fly Flywoo Explorer [5] with DJI system: it's a small & nibmle long range drone, easy to travel with, and powerful enough to chase kiteboarders even in a strong wind.
P.S. Don't be discouraged with sim flying: it's actually very fun, feels similar to TrackMania Nations.
I'm very much into niche hobbies: they usually have nice tight & friendly communities.
Below are some of my favorite I'd love to share:
- FPV drone flying: once you've spent 5-10 hours to get initial reflexes for the controls in the simulator, the first flight on a real machine outside feels magical.
- Electric unicycles: the "mind-controlled" PEV, and arguably the best way to get around in San Francisco.
- Foiling: the closest feeling to riding a hoverboard. You can kite-foil, pump-foil, sup-foil etc, but wing foiling is the easiest to get started.
- Knots: tying laces properly just makes life easier, and tying tucker's / voodoo hitches for the first few times feels like a magic trick.
- Cardistry: learning to do a proper riffle shuffle and a few artistic cuts adds some fun to the most boring part of any card game.
This is awesome! I enjoyed typing out the 20 words available, and would love to type more! Why are the majority of the words in the word list [1] commented out?
Also, I would appreciate if the word & its description is automatically pronounced (or maybe there's a setting to do so). This way I would be able to train audio perception, which is oftentimes challenging with French.
Right now, clicking the "speaker" icon speaks out the word, not definition, and also steals focus from the input field.
I learned handstands at a circus school and this tutorial indeed looks very similar to what we where doing.
The article also suggests a belly-to-wall handstands at some point, which (according to my teachers) is a much better exercise for a proper handstand then a back-to-wall handstands.
Two things that help me practice these days:
- voice-controlled timer to keep track of handstand time: https://timeless.aslushnikov.com/ (I didn’t find any readily available so hacked my own)
