We don't always have to be in the thick of things, in the midst of all the action. Sometimes, many times, it's good to step far enough away that you get a different perspective.
They all had something to do, and each valued the contributions of the others.
And because they were friends, they listened as much as they spoke, and even if they disagreed on issues, it didn't stop them from working together toward the common goal of moving that boat forward and enjoying the day.
I am looking for an electric motor that 1️⃣ can be controlled remotely (Modbus, HTTP, whatever), 2️⃣ can coil a cable/rope holding an object (here a sail) of 30-40kg, 3️⃣ will be used indoor.
It’s been a year I’m looking for this, with no result. Please help me.
When I was a kid, our calendars had holidays marked out in red: a red letter day was a special one, worthy of standing out from the rest of the week.
Some days spontaneously turn into red letter days, regardless of what the calendar says. These are days of joy and freedom, enjoyed with family and friends.
May the puzzle be fun yet challenging, and may the image take you to a place of serenity, calmness and quietude, just as if you were on that boat yourself.
We speak, and sing, and share deeply with the ones we love and trust. Because the thoughts of our heart are precious, it is fitting that we share them only with those who are most precious to us.
@cloudguy I'm more or less certain that NLS (oNLine System) from Doug Engelbart's ARC (Augmentation Research Center) group at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) already demonstrated copying and pasting of text in the 1968 "Mother of All Demos".
However, it is true, if perhaps lesser known, that Xerox's PARC had a cross-licensing arrangement with SRI and SAIL (Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab).
Lamentably, due to Hollywood BS such as Pirates of Silicon Valley, many (almost all?) in pop culture erroneously attribute inventions to PARC which were previously invented under Engelbart's team and elsewhere.
For example even earlier, Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad (movie clip below from 1962, doctoral thesis completed in 1963) had copying and pasting graphical objects and object inheritance, a clip here narrated by Alan Kay (who was a student of Sutherland and also later worked at PARC):
On the bay, they were far enough away from the city to escape the noise and bustle, but close enough to watch its endless activity. It was a good perspective, one that allowed them to observe without being distracted.
If sailboats could smile, this one was -- on a perfect sunny day with just enough breeze to be brisk, and warm golden rays from above adding light and warmth to the mix. It was a day to just get out and explore, not worrying about any particular destination, but being satisfied with the journey itself.
