Everything I know about good system design

Everything I know about good system design

I see a lot of bad system design advice. One classic is the LinkedIn-optimized “bet you never heard of queues” style of post, presumably aimed at people who are…

Linked is an outstanding summary of system design. It could be a book or a course! Of course good because I agree with just about every view and recommendation.

Learn professional robotics basics hands-on by building a little Arduino and ROS2 -compatible robot. Maker's Pet Mini robot consists of a 120mm round base, two N20 motors (differential drive), a 360° scanning 2D LiDAR distance sensor, a motor driver board and an ESP32 development board. The Mini robot comes with step-by-step "from-scratch" assembly, setup, bring-up, operation instruction videos

Linked is a very nice beginner ROS2 robot. Amazingly inexpensive. 1/4 the price of a turtlebot. I am ordering one to see how it is!

Just a small tool to help me (and you but without any guaranty) to create command alias and sub-aliases (multi word alias) - adoy/cmdalias

Run local LLMs inside your browser. Contribute to sauravpanda/BrowserAI development by creating an account on GitHub.

This could be important. Linked is a tool that allows you to run an LLM locally in your browser. Why is that interesting? After all you can already run it locally, just on your laptop. I think, if this thing works, one can provide LLM features as part of a SaS app, while guaranteeing your users…

Music programming in the browser

Linked is a tool for writing electronic sounding music 5hrough a cryptic language, right in the browser. It reminds me of SonicPi except with a far worse syntax. But it runs in the browser which is pretty cool!

👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. - ghostty-org/ghostty
