06:51 schestowitz; <p>When commanding a moteus controller, many of the registers defined in the reference documentation give explicit semantics when the values is passed as either a floating point NaN value or the maximally negative integer for integer encodings. Those that do not specify a meaning for NaN are undefined and anything can happen. For the most part, this isnt a problem, but in one specif

06:52 schestowitz; <p>A fun thing about learning Ruby is that sometimes concepts that have the same name as in other languages have different behavior and purpose in Ruby.</p>

11:33 schestowitz; <p>According to my iPhone Screen Time, I'm way under the average in terms of usage, but I still think I use my phone too much. </p>
11:33 schestowitz; <p> There's been a number of times lately where I've realised I'm spending too much time on my phone. Well, actually I don't realise; it's usually my wife shouting "GET OFF THAT BLOODY PHONE!" </p>
11:33 schestowitz; <p> I decided to do some research to see if I am using it too much and to try and be a bit more cognisant of my phone usage. </p>

11:35 schestowitz; <p>We routinely reference a subset of something to refer to the whole. We might refer to a bicycle as a new set of wheels, even though its clearly more than that. We still refer to graphics cards as GPUs, and some people even still call desktop towers CPUs, despite there being far more components involved. The technically accurate crowd blanch at such use, but its common linguistic shorthand.</p>
