One of the biggest problems with any board game is the organization of its components. As a board game enthusiast, I often see a myriad of plastic ziplock bags or tackle boxes used to achieve order in an otherwise chaotic box. As a software engineer/tinkerer/maker, I see these issues as opportunities to build and create custom solutions through the use of 3D printing.
My software of choice for this project is openSCAD. OpenSCAD uses modules and functions to build and render 3D models. While not particularly good from an artistic perspective, it does a great job when dealing with fairly simple models – perfect for game inserts.
This year, I was a programming mentor in a robot building competition for high school students. Specifically, one of 11 mentors assisting 40 high-schoolers of the Park Hill Trobots team in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
In this blog, I discuss key lessons I learned as a programming mentor of high school students building a Java-based robot that could run, climb, balance, aim, and release projectiles.
When it comes to the science of genomics, Amazonโs AWS is by far the platform of choice for most organizations. But, just like in the musical Hamilton, Microsoft Azure is โyoung, scrappy, and hungry.โ
It is driven to provide the tools and managed services that are needed to run genomics at scale, with HPC (high-performance computing) and storage being among the hardest facets of the field to get right.
This blog post will first briefly explain genomics. Then, weโll dive into what Azure has to offer in this field.
This article will set up a basic Spring Boot app that incorporates Apache Camel to move some sample files around.
If you are like me, you find that flat-file processing can be pretty dry. Considering what Apache Camel does, its name is very fitting. While there are plenty of reasons for the name, it definitely makes sense that Apache Camel does a lot of lugging things around for you…
