How to start coding for swarm robots?
Do check out these options (personally I’ve used these) 1. Buzz: https://the.swarming.buzz 2. Argos: https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3

My career development plan
You can do AI by relying on a library that is effectively a black box and yet make the result useful to other users. Recently I made a web interface for Argos3 (swarm robotics framework https://www.argos-sim.info ) and I do not know how it works. I understand in principle (write the code for a robot, define how many such robots run, how many ticks, start the simulation, study the output) but that is it, a very high level (some would say superficial) level. Yet, by providing a web interface (using Docker and Observable) I facilitated the research process. Did I do any AI? To somebody familiar with Argos3, no, to pretty much anyone else, yes.

C++ and Robotics.
Simulation is a strong choice too. ARGoS, Actin, Webots, Gazebo and V-Rep are some examples. A simulation will give you the opportunity to use some robots in different environments (with a lot of configurations). Gazebo has a big community and documentation, V-Rep is the more powerful one (and my pick).

What's a self hosted tool you'd like me to build?
How? Encapsulating the "core" part in an HTTP API. For example I don't write C++ and I don't even know much about swarm robotics. Yet to help a group of researchers I wrote a short NodeJS server for Argos3 https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3 that allowed few functions, in particular starting a simulation and get the results back. I did so naively at first and then in order to get faster feedback tinkered with server-sent events. This allowed me to connect an interface like ObservableHQ in JavaScript or Jupyter Notebooks in Python (but can also be JS, Julia, etc) by providing that API and results via HTTPS.

Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app
I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.
Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

Book list for streetfighting computer scientists
I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.
Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.
Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.
And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?
Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.
- Xournal++ – Take handwritten notes with ease
- Pdftool.org: modify pdfs offline in the browser
-
Xournal++ is now fully supported with ChromeOS 115!
[Xournal++](https://xournalpp.github.io/) is in my option the best handwritten note-taking software out there, because it has all the coolest features (like LaTeX snippets and shapes) and it's open source too, so make sure to check it out!
