ROS opencv camera driver that uses cv::VideoCapture
Link: ROS opencv camera driver that uses cv::VideoCapture: "ROS opencv camera driver that uses cv::VideoCapture - OTL/cv_camera"
Ok this is also for me to remember important links! Here is the source code for the opencv ROS support for the camera. I now prefer it over Raspicam.
Raspi cam documentation

Details on running various tools to collect photos and videos from the command line running on a Raspberry Pi.

An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails | AppSignal Blog
Link: An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails | AppSignal Blog: "In the first part of this series, we'll set up an example Rails application and introduce the basics of LiteStack."
A multi part series on the so called LiteStack. People seem to be coming back around to using SQLite for their production databases. This was the way it was a few years ago but then everyone decided that SQLite was a toy and we should use Postgres. Yes, it was a little more complicated and could cost a little more but we were clever enough to figure it out. Well I like this trend to ditching unnecessary complexity (“you are not Facebook”)

I am looking for a substitute for fideucials with ROS. I have used raspicam_node from Ubiquity Robotics and it does work but it took a lot of playing. I wonder if opencv would work better.

Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare
Link: Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare: "Use the tips to improve your org's use of Slack: answers to questions should take longer than the time to look it up, notifications should go to a few people, the more people in a room, the more structured it should be. Plus a few more."
We use slack a lot at work. These are some helpful tips to reduce noise and increase communication. When there are four different ways to communicate (email, slack, sms, and posting to a forum) you have a lot of wasted time. Yes each way has a slightly different purpose and effect, but four are too many!
