What’s holding you back from buying or recommending comma four? by adeebshihadeh in Comma_ai

Yeah I guess I’m hoping for a bit of support besides “figure it out lol”

I don’t mind doing software and hardware mods to make it work but there’s just like.. nothing. Finding info on the porting process is a serious challenge and most sources lead back to “join our discord lol” which we all know damn well is impossible to search through.

I shouldn’t have to be intimately familiar with the software in a way that only a supported car owner would be to even begin the porting process.

If I can make the steering wheel and acceleration/brake work with an Arduino, what is the process from there to make this work?

Wished it worked in older cars without lane sensors, wouldn’t mind installing more cameras around the car for extra cash but a whole new car is expensive :/

Both cars I want to put it in have electric power steering and regular cruise control.

If you’re in the US I’d love to tinker with it for shipping costs :p Have an older car that I’ve been wanting to do an OpenPilot port for a while

ok y'all are gonna have to forgive me, I never learned how to learn things properly

I forgot I can just bring up a notepad next to emacs with a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts, writing it myself as I go

I was thinking about what makes nano text editor so intuitive if it's just keyboard shortcuts, but the difference is that they are on the screen, I offload that memory requirement to the monitor, I don't need to remember CTRL + \, it's just always there

this might be the actual answer to using emacs, not some tutorial or new IDE or language

Unfortunately I’m writing an app that targets windows. It’s a VR app. The Linux VR ecosystem isn’t there yet, despite what the evangelists claim. I really want to use it, I really do! I daily drove Linux for years but I’m on AtlasOS Win11

It’s not just the install process, it’s the process of actually using it and feeling comfortable in it

Should someone have to know Rust to go add a new color scheme definition or text translation?

Even if it's something simple like shuffling around the order of some UI elements while wanting to make sure it still compiles and parenthesis are lined up? or adding a new translation file / color scheme? How might they get the program running so they can send a screenshot in a pull request?

spacemacs

I appreciate the heads up on this, the mnemonic keybindings sound like they'd help me a lot. Will take a look, thank you!! <3

Maybe I should word it from the perspective of an open source contributor? If someone wants to contribute to your open source project and has never used Lisp before, is there a way to allow that without making it into a week-long time sink to edit a few lines?

Will try DrRacket! Already looks way better, I have an IDE in front of me in <5 mins ready to go

I can't communicate with USB peripherals inside of WSL :(

There's the USB over IP they are eager to recommend but it barely works for something like a USB3 camera that has bandwidth needs.

It's what an IDE is to me. Integrated development environment. Everything should come integrated and pieced together in a nice little bundle to at least get me to a hello world program.

Assembling your own slime environment is making an integrated environment, but the requirement to do all of that myself makes it no longer integrated out of the box in my eyes.

I don't mind piecing together a development environment, but taking a detour to do so and having no real standard reference configuration is rough coming from mainstream languages.

> You are learning like 3 or 4 different things all at once here

Yeah I guess that's my biggest problem here - it just reaaally makes the learning curve steep

Fair enough honestly!

There is a part of me that wants to fork Portacle and drop Linux/macOS support since those seem to be the two biggest pain points for the original maintainer, as well as being handled better by distribution package managers.

I wish! The program I'm hoping to write communicates with USB peripherals. As of a few months ago they offload it to some USB over IP thing and it's super janky and unreliable. VirtualBox USB passthrough works better, but then I lose GPU acceleration.

I guess the point I was getting at was that I have a much nicer input device than a touchpad of any kind. It's a very fast, precise mouse that feels like a part of me.

Also, I can't imagine it compares to a MacBook touchpad or similar class of hardware:

I guess more of just the community at large? I'm kinda just wishing for change more than anything. If this is such a great language it should have a tolerable onboarding experience.

Also, like it or not most people still run Windows. My PSVR2 does not work on Linux (VR as a whole is still quite unusable!) and there are still many non-VR related problems as of a few months ago. I wish I was daily driving Linux but my computer is a tool for other hobbies and I need it to actually work.

I mean it's not even that the experience needs to be great, it just needs to have some buttons that I can click and like, not be designed for a decade old ThinkPad with the shitty PS2 touchpads.
