I think one of the biggest hurdles to adding testing to software is the complexity of testing frameworks.

Results are in! Bard won the best bad joke-off. What did you think? Is the new bard better than ChatGPT3.5, or should I run another contest?

@NoThanksHoney1 Oh yeah? Make it funnier! A) Because it couldn't stand the rind-icule of being on land! B) Because it wanted to be a "melon-dramatic" floater and add some fruity humor to the pool party!

@JohnVial Make it funnier A) Because it was too seedy for the beach! ️ B) Because it heard it was "seeded" for a great time and wanted to dive into the juicy fun!

Dev containers are a really nice way to teach robotics to students without having to worry about setting up development environments with the necessary dependencies. #ROSCon2023

Left-click should pan and right-click should rotate. Someone tell these apps it’s time to get their mouse act together 🐭🤪#IWillDieOnThisHill

Why do all 3D applications have different behaviors for the mouse? Can’t there just be one standard?

Can’t make a MSE-6 droid without a shell 🐢. So buckle up, folks! I’m learning Blender to make my DeepRacer go from zero to droid hero as an MSE-6 droid. Tips welcome! 🚗🤖
