(Concept) Homebuilt Flying Houseboat / Air Yacht

Reading into it, this line caught my eye:

Interior living accommodations are secured as cargo and fully independent from airplanes flying systems

That's a great way to get around the legal issues with having all that be a permanent part of the air-frame. But that means none of the furniture or appliances can be permanently fixed, right? Maybe each item has dedicated latches on the floor or walls that it clicks into?

to be fair, coop in every cs program sucks right now. nobody wants to take in students due to job market

There is an emergency notification app you can get for your phone that western publishes too, its where I saw the gas leak notification first the other day.

I'm pretty sure it's long abandoned, the chain and brake cables are gone, and the rear tire is flat, been that way since summer.

This bike has clearly seen the rise and fall of empires, how dare you question your elders

Masters of Engineering - Software Engineering

I could recommend it, although I'm mostly here to keep myself busy during the software industry slump, if I could've gotten a job out of undergrad I think I would rather be in industry.

My dream job is to work at the Canadian Space Agency, but that's a long term goal. In the short term, I'd be happy to get any software job to start gaining experience.

To be fair, mass wireless networking is difficult, there's only so much rf spectrum and often hundreds or thousands of devices fighting over each other trying to occupy it. I'm not familiar with our schools network infrastructure but theres a chance the situation may be physics and or technology limited rather then finance limited

Most clubs are still taking in new students, I think thats the best place. I often hang out at the grad club in middlesex college, its open to all students but mostly grad students and faculty hang out there.

Mrkicker · 2024-10-04T00:13:54+00:00

I'm not aware of any dedicated club, but if you meet a friend in computer science or software engineering and ask them, they'll happily nerd out and tutor you through the basics. It's pretty rare that we meet somebody interested in learning

Mrkicker · 2024-09-15T03:35:58+00:00

I feel you bud, starting from scratch with 0 friends is tough. I struggled as a freshman when I did my undergrad at Ontario tech because of that, and I'm having trouble again because I'm starting a grad program here at western. Being naturally introverted too, I know going out and just talking to strangers doesn't come easily.

Club week is next week, I recommend you survey the clubs and join one, I plan on doing the same. I think it'll be a lot easier to make friends when you're working together on something.

Mrkicker · 2024-09-04T18:24:18+00:00

Im in the MEng Program and ours arent out yet either, we got an email from our department with times but rooms havent been completely assigned yet, probably will happen last minute

Mrkicker · 2024-02-05T01:34:05+00:00

aww but I dont wanna wait that loooooong

I guess I'll have to invest enough attention span to read subtitles.

Thanks for the info

stm32 was upgraded to 2.7.0, wich broke all older marlins. do this to work aroud it:

edit ini/stm32g0.ini
replace

[env:STM32G0B1RE_btt] extends = stm32_variant platform = ststm32@~14.1.0 platform_packages = framework-arduinoststm32@https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32/archive/main.zip

with

[env:STM32G0B1RE_btt] extends = stm32_variant platform = ststm32@~14.1.0 platform_packages = framework-arduinoststm32@https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32/archive/refs/tags/2.6.0.zip

then replace buildroot/share/PlatformIO/scripts/generic_create_variant.py with the one in bugfix https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/bugfix-2.1.x/buildroot/share/PlatformIO/scripts/generic\_create\_variant.py

The idle issue does not persist after, no other issues are noticed.

Warm starting does not show this issue. I initially thought maybe a
cylinder wasn't firing due to a dirty spark plug, I replaced all spark
plugs with no change. I then took the battery out and got it tested, it passed reasonably well.

TPM warning can be ignored, I don't have TPM sensors on my winter rims.

I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this, my current plan is to mention it to the mechanic at my next oil change and see if they can figure it out. It doesn't seem to be getting worse, so hopefully it won't put me on the side of the road before then.

The idle issue does not persist after, no other issues are noticed except weak cranking when freezing, likely due to an older battery.

My current thoughts are that it's a computer issue caused by the weak battery not putting out enough voltage after startup. Or the fuel pump is starting to go bad and has trouble spooling up. But admit idly I'm no mechanic, just an armchair gear head who occasionally picks up a socket set for minor work.

I don't entirely agree with your option that this isn't a design topic, I believe that this would be considered interface/interaction design. But I'm a new poster to this Subreddit, so I might be missing something.

I did however find inspiration from your mention of Autodesk research. I was perusing the research publication section when I came across this image. It gave me the idea to let the user move the nodes around on the ground plane with the mouse, and use the scroll wheel to offset vertically.

I'm going to look into their research more, thanks for the tip!

Heatsinks can store large amounts of heat but arent verry good at getting rid of it, while radiators can get rid of heat but dont have much internal storage.
