I believe with that cable configuration, Yaw motion isn't really possible. I'm sure it would help with motion programming with the VR, but perhaps true Yaw wouldn't be entirely necessary. Good questions though.

For your last question, I do think that's the way they would need to add Yaw if desired. Otherwise more cables and/or a different configuration would be needed.

As an example, check out the robocrane design from NIST: http://www.nist.gov/el/isd/gantry-2.cfm

I interpreted the "poor developer" part of the OP to be a statement of financial outlook, not from a development ability standpoint - especially when in the same line he mentions that he's "stuck getting paid 16/hr" at the moment.

But otherwise good advice!

Thank you. Yea I guess I may have misinterpreted the "poor developer" comment.

Thanks again.

Correction: for a small minority of those potentially interested, see my previous comment. For everyone else: welcome to the world of the hacking underdogs :)

Google play does this when watching certain movies and shows. Not sure if it's added manually or does intelligent recognition. However, it's certainly useful - so I could see generalizing that capability for other movies / plays??

<br/>

Granted, the movies and shows on Play have at least a context to do the pattern matching with - a cast list greatly reduces the possible matches.

Hahaha, I love it. I had this exact idea this morning! Never expected to see it posted, and so soon after. Great minds... ;)

Was thinking more along the lines of direct to fridge and freezer options. Ideally with cooling or refrigeration properties so cold food can stay cool on the ride home, and the whole thing can pop into the fridge.

Definitely a good article. Not sure why I opened it thinking it'd be a write up about life working at a particle accelerator... Which would have been awesome, but I digress.

In your last sentence, you answered your own question. Don't ask us how you would want to live your life, after all it is YOUR life. Just live it!

We can give you as much permission as you want. But all of it won't matter unless you give yourself the permission.

Some say "just ship", in this case, "just start".

Lots of great advice in this thread. A lot of ideas on where to start. But it will be all for not if you don't let yourself start.

Good luck throwing off the bowlines! ;)

Very interesting and nicely done. Surprisingly addictive!

I loved "Understand" by Ted Chiang; thanks for sharing this one!

Eye opening at certain points, dragged on at others. Either way I'm more excited to code. I mean, program. :)
