Lol - I bought the first video, and now one of the audios. However, at the end of the process I didn't remember my old password. So I clicked 'I forgot my password' and it said 'Oh my god, you're an idiot' and sent me an email with a new on

People should actually cheer to this expression of the open source spirit. Like in 'if you find a bug, fix it', he proposes to you to kill yourself if you cause one. Nothing special. Off course, if this were corporate software, they would s

Which makes it easier to translate into typical procedural languages like c and c++, which is not completely irrational to assume for embedded systems like robotics. And because many tricks and concepts will be array-index-based, you can ju
