I came to the same conclusion (and I'm not a big company that can afford Qt), so I built my own. Before Flutter got a new team @ Google ~3 years back, it was a set of tools for building cross-platform apps with C++ shared libs. A few y

Thanks! I've updated the code to only save twice a day giving the EEPROM an estimated lifetime of 137 years. It's a little more inconvenient, but (maybe) less inconvenient than having to buy a new EEPROM (or likely a new Arduino)

Same. Changing teams every two years seems like a long time. Not mentioned in the post, but I would bet that in Microsoft-land, the release cycle is about two years so it gives a natural transition point. Let's say that an engineer tak

I would say that the variability of education quality between Canadian schools isn't that high, but the number of universities isn't great either. Waterloo does try to be more experimental with their curriculum than many other sch
