I need to get ridge of my 36 years old #Toshiba T1600 laptop and a couple of #C++ #Qt #labview #programming books which I probably never read. Anyone interested?

To this day I'm convinced that by far the best way to do concurrent programming with #threads (beyond graphical programming languages like #Labview, where concurrency is natural) is that used by #Tcl
In other words each thread is created with its own sub-interpreter. Each has its own context, not shared. Information is passed by messaging (which the receiver receives in their own event loop). Channels moved (not shared) explicitly.
This massively reduces race conditions and other nasties.

So the background: we have a optical spectroscopy lab, with several instruments doing similar stuff and producing similar data. Each instrument has components and the whole setup is controlled by PC. Normally, one would use #labview for this kind of work.
But I do not. Why we would use gargantuan multi-gigabyte proprietary commercial program, when we could have the same functionality with few hundreds lines of open-source code, right? 
There are some reasons why I "don't like" LabView:

Why is everybody making a HyperCard cline, and nobody is making a LabVIEW clone? Not that I don’t love HyperCard, but LabVIEW is cool too.
@scarletfire I'm probably going to be yelled at by saying that I really like Labview. Used it to tune my experimental setup with the Alphatrack midi mixer. Thanks @ct_Magazin for a short product info in some article back in 2007 (I think..?). Ah the times....

forums.ni.com · Tuning Experimental Apparatus with a Midi Mixer / Sending MIDI SysEx MessagesThis post is not a question but rather a wrap up of LabVIEW work I have done that I think may be interesting to other people, too. The top half motivates the second half, where I explain how MIDI SysEx messages can be sent through LabVIEW, which up till now has not been a simple feat. The reason I ...

I just completed "Cube Conundrum" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode #LabVIEW https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/2
The reroute nodes work pretty well in #Blender3D. My first experience with node based systems was in #LabVIEW. Heh, knob-and-tube nodes!
Made a module that takes in several values and uses them to drive a phase angle output. Want to use this to animate three phase equipment, such as motors, generators, transformers, #rectifiers and #inverters. Hope to have a two-pole motor stator animation soon.

Reading about #GCode commands. Quite interesting. I have been thinking into making a robotic drill for projects controlled manually by a joystick, or keys/commands in a #labview VI app. In the future I may include GCode files compatibility for fully automatic working.
Electrically, I would like to apply all my knowledge from the industrial world making control and power circuits independent and introducing failsafe systems such as emergency stops and photoelectric barriers (to detect and prevent objects to get inside the working area), even a dead man system.
So how are you today #mastodon nice cuties? 
Wow!
Big shakeup in the #TestAndMeasurement space!
It will be interesting to see how #LabVIEW evolves...
This acquisition reminds me of when #Siemens bought out UGS (makers of the #NX #CAD software suite).

A friend said Israel's #Technion university's whole IT and LAN infrastructure is under a #ransomware attack. His devices were apparently unaffected but he can't do his work because he relies on #matlab, #labview which requires license servers 
. I gently recommended to
1. give #Octave a go, or rewrite things in 
2. start changing passwords and use a password manager.
Me when I open some #LabVIEW code I wrote more than 6 months ago.

G V2 is being rebuilt with #rust at the core to be much faster and will have better support for recursive, cross-referencing models. I've been excited to learn more about the intersection of #python and rust, and the applications for self-describing data. One of my first #LabVIEW open source projects was a Variant Data Library (vipm.io/package/oglib_lvdata) that allow inspecting LabVIEW data and types dynamically. So, I'm very curious to learn more about how Python tools approach these use cases.

Love to hear from folks who resonate with any of the above!
Btw can I move this #mastodon account to a more appropriate server some time? This was the first one I could get working.
Speak soon!
Hi, I'm a software dev who works in measurement and automation using mostly #LabVIEW, real-time embedded targets, and FPGA. I've written several #opensource libraries and projects in LabVIEW including G-Audio, G-Image, a DJ app, and an FPGA based Wolf3D style engine (see vid).
My Twitter account is/was mostly LabVIEW jokes and silly projects (which will continue here), but with this new start I might throw in more general software talk and other topics.
Hi all! My name is Jeff, and I'm #softwareDeveloper and #maker in the process of relocating to #NewZealand.
My journey through social media started with Bulletin Board Systems (#BBS) & #IRC, through LiveJournal, to Facebook, an enjoyable stint in G+, back to Facebook, and now Mastodon. Ironically I never really got into Twitter, which I understand Mastadon aims to replace.
In my career I've worked on incredibly interesting projects like full scale helicopter simulators, small drone (#sUAS) control systems, and signal jamming technologies. I've worked with #C++ , #CSharp, #Python, #LabView.
But what I'm most proud of has been my time volunteering for a local charity I helped found, #MakersLocal256. This #makerspace was the first in #Alabama, has been around for over 15 years, and has survived on a "pay what you can" system. Our goal was and is to make available tools and technologies to those who either can afford it better together, or simply don't have the space for something like a gigantic #laserCutter. I've learned and taught equipment there such as #3DPrinters, #soldering, #embedded projects, #IoT, #lathes, #welding, #leatherWorking, #HamRadio and #cyberSecurity.
I've served #ML256 as both their Treasurer using systems like #GnuCash, and as a #systemsAdministrator using technologies including #Proxmox, #VMWare, #Redmine, #Owncloud, #ZoneMinder
As a hobbyist I run my own #homelab including this instance of Mastadon, #Plex, #mqtt, #proxmoxBE
My other hobbies include #cooking, with a focus on #sousVide and #cajun food, collecting #puzzleBoxes .
I consume large amounts of #Sci-Fi television, #anime, and have a weakness for paranormal teenage drama series like #vampireDiaries and now some soul rotting show called #FateWinxSaga. They're just so awful I can't stop watching.
In my youth I attended a #boardingSchool called #ASMS before Dumbledore made them cool. We had a cheerleading team for our chess team, it was baller. Our headmaster was from #NewZealand, and we plan to catch up once we get settled in.
My wife of eight years and I met in college, and has been my best friend, travel companion, taste tester, and cheerleader. She's an amazing #cosplay artist from Tennessee who has crafted #yukatas #kimonos, outfits from #animes, and so much more.
Her Londo Mallari from #Babylon5 is still the highest rated post of all time in r/Babylon5.
As her handler I end up going to many of her competitions and events, our favorite being #DragonCon . As a reward for being her personal slave, I earn cosplay points, which I save up and cash in on requests. The most memorable is when I asked to be a #sandworm from #Dune. She built a 14 meter worm in the style of a Chinese dragon. It takes eight people to pilot, has been in three parades, two with Kevin J. Anderson leading our path. She carries the 16 kilogram head, with me as her second in line. It's been featured in #MakeMagazine and has been used for a movie premier at a local theatre.
Well, that's me :) I don't intend on writing posts this long going forward, and honestly this felt like writing a CV. But hell, if you're gunna do, do it up.
