That one is hard to Google.
I found what you meant, and dayum. Lets not ever mention this again, oke?

Ok everyone.
Get your minds OUT OF THE GUTTER!!
You're blocking the view through my periscope.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In case you're interested, I received (last week) the PCBs I designed, did some soldering and procrastinating and coding, and now I have a working prototype. Of course I made some mistakes, but they did not prevent the thing from working. Had to give some 4-leg buttons a leg amputation (I accidentally shorted the output to ground through the pin on the other side, I also remember expressly not doing that but I think I then messed it up in a circuit-refactoring), and the rotary encoders are more glitchy than expected (the input filtering of STM32 timers in encoder mode is not sufficient).
Overall I'd say STM32 is pretty nice, but CubeIDE (based on Eclipse) is (like Eclipse) not nice, merely "OK". Laggy as Elephant, and I managed to glitch out the code renderer just by putting a medium-length array initializer on one line (less than 1000 elements, come on), resulting in a largely blacked-out code window. At least it has a proper debugger, it's not the "debugging means printf over serial" stone age, and I don't need to upload the firmware manually. Also the built-in initialization code generator is handy.
Seeing the hardware that I designed come alive was nice.
8/10 would recommend overall, but I wish the IDE wasn't based on Eclipse.

I'm glad you've had better luck with the STM32 ecosystem than I did. I have two STM32 boards I don't have any desire to try to make work anymore but I don't have the heart to throw them out either.
Cube IDE was enough to make me want to pass it up. If I can't do it in platformIO without a bunch of extra crap I don't want to mess with that workflow.

Too bad you didn’t buy some storage. You could have become the Prime Minister of Sweden!

Just the fact he had anything to say about the problem - instead of looing with blank eyes, earns him a 5!!!

At 4 he already knows none of these superheroes, animated characters exist. He knows Santa is not real either. I am just scared he does not ruin Christmas for some other child. At 2, I was trying to make him recognize Michio Kaku and Jay Z. I am raising a...no idea what.

Most of us heard of it, few of us outside formal education attempt it.
Inspired at the time, I explained that I could test "each" possible path, by sending an Orca (a big whale) on that path. Once all Orca's back, I look at the fastest. Presto, my first TSP-solution and it actually worked in the real world as well, showing the most efficient path a car can take.
The "police car" idea is an optimization on my Orca's-algorithm where I send out Orca's to walk each possible street and have them report back which is best. It assumes that getting closer to the target is a helpful thing, thus eliminating Orca's going in the opposite direction.
That little insight cuts your possible routes by roughly 60%, which saves a lot of computing time.

I've noticed many websites and services are translating to Dutch.
I get it from a user's point of view, but for technical stuff it's just confusing and some things just don't need to be translated.
Clients often have a Dutch Windows and googling for Dutch error messages is already painful enough.
But now, Azure suddenly defaults to Dutch.
My subscriptions are now "abonnementen" and storage accounts are now called "opslagaccounts".
Meanwhile, an App Service is still an App Service and a load balancer is still a load balancer.
So how the heck am I ever going to find a "sleutelkluis" (key vault)!?
It's pretty difficult to talk about Azure with others who are on Dutch because I know the English terms and now I have to guess what they translated it to ("sleutelkluis" isn't a common word and I don't think "opslagaccount" is an existing word at all).
At least I found how to return it to English
IMDb goes the extra mile.
The Terminator is suddenly listed as "De uitroeier" and Star Wars is now called "De sterrenoorlogen"
When did someone ever call the movies that!? 
I know there's a Dutch version of Star Wars, but it's rare, and I don't know about Terminator...
Only the first movies got a translated title.
Also, no one will know what you'll talk about if you mention "De 12 gezworenen" (12 Angry Men, translated as The 12 Jurors).
Trello just asked me if I wanted to switch to Dutch.
NO I DON'T!

The problem is not translation per se, but poor, inappropriate translation. The only other option is to use a common language, with the result that English (in its corrupt USian form) is taking over the world.

True.
I know some Prince of Persia game translated "loading" (like, when the game was loading) as "lading", which is loading as in loading cargo into a truck
|
|
|
|
|
Well, originally it came from loading bytes (From a tape?) into the memory. I can see the parable with the truck.
What would have been a better translation?
