A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

PostgreSQL index naming convention to remember

The standard names for indexes in PostgreSQL are:

{tablename}_{columnname(s)}_{suffix}

where the suffix is one of the following:

  • pkey for a Primary Key constraint;
  • key for a Unique constraint;
  • excl for an Exclusion constraint;
  • idx for any other kind of index;

Comparison of ZeroMQ and Redis for a robot control platform

ZeroMQ vs Redis

This document is research for the selection of a communication platform for robot-net.

Goal

The purpose of this component is to enable rapid, reliable, and elegant communication between the various nodes of the network, including controllers, sensors, and actuators (robot drivers). It will act as the core of robot-net to create a standardized infrastructure for robot control.
