I’m not recommending this as I have not tried it. But it could be something useful for my project and yours.

This week we are revisiting “The Psychology of Human Misjudgment" an essay by Charlie Munger. In this essay, Munger discusses a series of 25 Cognitive Biases that induce human misjudgment and provides some of his famous mental models to counter this innate behavior.

It's a great read full of insights: https://fermatslibrary.com/s/the-psychology-of-human-misdgugement [fermatslibrary.com]

One of many articles helping with the math of computing pose from aruco markers. Unfortunately the algorithms are different and give different results.

By the way the Automatic Addison web site is a treasure trove of robotics ideas, explainers and code.

Everything you want to know -- well I am exaggerating -- about sticky things. I discovered this while working on mounting photographs.

More than you ever wanted to know about how the PiCamera works. As usual, things are more complex than you expect when you get into them!

Very useful tool to work with camera parameters. I don’t even know what v4l2 is, but all kinds of camera parameters can be displayed and changed.

Really Important package to allow you to calibrate the camera. It is here because I lost it for a while (forgot the name) and now I found it again!

A pretty comprehensive tutorial about using OpenCV in ROS Robotics algorithms,

Downloadable textbook about Mining of Massive Datasets by Jure Leskovec, Anand Rajaraman, Jeff Ullman.

This is super useful for rails apps. Will it work for other frameworks like Sinatra? I haven’t tried this yet but it looks promising.

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.

Very useful if this happens to you! Worked like a charm for me. Magic.

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

Yet another beginner explanation of git!

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”)

Useful information for building clever robots that can locate boxes to stack up!

A thorough review of event driven architectures. Lots of actionable ideas and rules of thumb. Even thought this is from a vendor plugging their wares, there is a lot to learn here!

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!

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.

A great explanation of various ways to handle asynchrony in python. Basic stuff that we all should know about.
