I lived and worked on the HKUST campus in the 90's.. Very picturesque. Surrounding coastline very rugged. He picked a good spot. No egress there at the bottom of the hill. Fun fact: He camped just below the historic location of Shaw Studios, who popularized the Kung Fu movie genre

I lived in HK in the 90's at the HK University of Science and Technology. It's out in the New Territories, surrounded by small villages and otherwise mostly undeveloped dense, low-lying scrub. We'd hike in the country parks and it could be surreal; Remnants of abandoned villages like in the article. Feral dogs like in the article. We had some Hakka ladies take us on their boat out to I think it was Pak Sha Chau where there was a small pathetic abandoned amusement park. Also there was a larger island with an original refugee camp from the Vietnamese boat people era. Now I think it is a golf course.. Great memories

As one of the original creators of sudo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo) I've witnessed it getting nearly totally rewritten and then incrementally bug-fixed over the last 43 years. It must take the prize for the UNIX command most highly-scrutinized for security flaws. Flaws which have been identified and fixed.

Thousands of developers and security experts have gone over it. So part of me wonders - how is it possible for a single dev team to totally reimplement it without unknowingly introducing at least a bug or two? Is there something to this Rust language which magically eliminates all chances of any bug being introduced?

I own a Manncorp MC-400 Pick and Place. Surprised wiki does not mention Manncorp or Autotronic or Quad. Seen many inidie DIY PnP projects come and go. The latest generation of low-end Chinese PnPs like Neoden have seen increased popularity for personal and small batch use.

I've also switched over to OrangePi. Using the OrangePi Zero LTS in a commercial product. It has FCC emissions compliance. That said, The RasPi community is at least 2 or 3 orders of magnitude larger, so if you get stuck on a weird problem you are more likely to find an answer for a RasPi than an Orange Pi.

In the mean-time there are now more lower cost, in-stock alternatives to the RPi than ever such at the OrangePi.
