"If the user wants to do this, they will do this" - perfectly acceptable. "They" and "them", can be plural and singular.

You can make that argument for any piece of entertainment. why live? let's all kill ourselves, that way we won't use any energy anymore.

Absolutely incredible

you can consider it the same as solar panels, which need periodic cleaning to maintain high performance

But then you're forcing an organisation style/hierarchy because of a tech problem. If I want all my developers to be able to access production directly for quick development, then that should be possible

going through the responses, i've yet to hit a spam response which is pretty incredible
Yes, heard this theory before, think this makes the most sense

We haven't even started the Pi Tau argument yet

Firm believer that adopting base 12 would have had a ripple affect on society, preventing many trials tribulations and wars. Pity we only have base 10 and donald trump

Agreed for very specific applications. General purpose stuff, C is more than sufficient imo

Sometimes learning on older technologies is very helpful to learning more of the fundamentals than learning practical skills directly.

For example I studied how to program assembly code for an STM32F0 microprocessor. Would never do that in practice. but worked wonders in teaching me the intricacies of a processor at a very low level.

Really awesome! some weird quirks with the City search though. Couldn't find Cape Town, South Africa

that works

There are only 2 ways of pronouncing that, "Ascii enema" or "Ass cinema", both butt related... bit unfortunate.

Nice stuff. Raspberry Pis are generally pretty terrible at running servo's though. Adding an intermediate Arduino would work wonders (I appreciate the complexity would jump significantly though)
I'm pretty sure they're importing the semiconductors, but manufacturing the PCBs
Even so, people are allowed to grow and change their ideas.
