Math.max(...[1, 2, 3]); // 3

Math.min(...[1, 2, 3]); // 1

I wanted to use Ubuntu ARM 14.04 on my rpi3 but the SD card wasn’t even recognize by my rpi3. I even moved a working SD from a rpi2b to my rpi3 with no sucess. I’ve come to find out via SOF that if you want to Install Ubuntu ARM to a Raspberry Pi 3 that you need to install the newly compiled Ubuntu for the rpi3. Here’s the link to download Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 3

I had a long day getting my custom drone to fly. Most of the time was spent modifying the P gain and I gain. Among the different firmwares I tried I stumbled upon P limit, I limit, D gain, and D limit. It was difficult to make sense out of all of these but I finally found success. I definitely recommend this paper for PI Gain Setup by Hobby King.

Some time after my 1 month South America trip I dove into robotics (q1 2015). In this time I’ve built a number of cool gadgets including an h6 uav and an x4 uav. Currently I’m compiling code for a kinect sensor so I can attach it to my h6. Anyway, Raspberry pi is pretty cool although tricky to do advanced things with. If you’re at all interested in them I strongly suggest you check them out and I’m happy to help out with whatever I can.

I *heard* that iOS 8 beta currently has some pretty big bugs. From my source, the touch input works fine until you open an app at which point where you touch shows up half a screen width away to the right. Is anyone else having issues like this?

A colleague of mine recently told me about a better / smarter way to advertise. I particularly like it because it leaves your users feeling better about their decision to let you make a few pennies off of them. Find out more about award driven advertising with kiip.com

Today a friend of mine sent me a great interactive resume by Robby Leonardi. I like this kind of work because it is what inspires me. It makes me want to be creative so that one day someone says, “Hey, look at this thing Jackson Rollins did. I want to do something like that.”

I recently found out that macarons and macaroons are similar but at the same time different. “Hey Jackson, this is supposed to be a site for development, not home economics.” Well, touche. The real reason I bring this up is because of their statically placed background image. Just take a look at it, go to the page. As you scroll down, it scrolls left and right. What a great use of otherwise boring realestate!

I was trying to figure out how to enable a nexus 7 device for development and it wasn’t like a lot of the other android devices. To unlock the Nexus 7 for Eclipse (or other) development you have to do this clever trick. Its kind of like finding an easter egg.

On a website we do at work there is a contact form that keeps getting blasted by a spam bot. It’s useless because the spam only goes to two people but regardless it’s annoying so I’m looking for a way to remove spamability. During my research I found this article which explains a clever way to beat the spam bots without using captcha forms or any kind of special software.
