I was just thinking that I had to go and remember how to set up yet another express server with a web socket interface to act as a server for some local stuff when I realised that I already made one for exactly this purpose.

I am always a bit shocked when things I made while playing around are useful.

of course the pouchdb module for python uses an old version of qt that uses functions removed in newer versions.

I want to pick up a functional programming language, but I don't have time to devote to it. I am also not sure what language to pick. A friend suggested Haskell, but I have heard good things about some different lisp flavours and either Erlang or Elixir.

@envgen @will@catgirl.science @Murkrow 7 feet 2 inches?

@envgen it does look very strange on you. Kinda cute though.

@envgen I am trying to imagine what you look like with a beard and completely failing.

@envgen I had a trash day as well. We can be 'trying to handle a trash day' buddies.

@jk classy

for zulip bot creation I am going to try and use pouchdb with python. There are bindings for it so we shall see how this goes.

But not tonight, I should go to sleep tonight.

@envgen gnomes.

@envgen you are very mature and adult.

@jond thank you! I think we found one that we can use for testing but I will keep that in the list of options.

The unit Kilogram-force is an abomination.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the gap between linear actuators or servos that can move a few grams and linear actuators that supply forces of over 100N.

Hydraulics are also expensive, so electric motors attached to worm gears are the only real option between the two but I haven't seen any implementation of them that is precise and fast enough to control robot legs.
