And we grew out of it. Japan did not. I wish we stopped giving Japan a pass for the things it does wrong. In terms of gender equality, minorities inclusiveness, gay rights, it lags far behind.

I have a hard time finding a good heavier duty servo that does not cost the price of a car. I looked into how to make one from a DC motor. There are some open source project about it: https://hackaday.io/project/9433-br

I had to use Qt as the UI lib for a project, it made me discover that QtCreator was actually not a Qt-only tool but a very good lightweight and generic C++ IDE. That's my choice now. I need something that can navigate easily in a code

And what's wrong about letting whoever won a tournament have their 10 seconds of free speech to pass on a message? Are we so afraid of free speech that we must insist on compartmentalizing subjects in that way? Just have Blizzard make

There is a war in the French twitter vs bike-enthusiasts and car users every time a major road sees a bicycle lane added. It feels weird to the rest of us, living outside Paris, to see so much media noise over 500 m of asphalt...
