Not exactly free as in free beer but Collabora, and their 'Collabora Online' suite fits your description. It's effectively online hosted libre office with a few extras.

That is a strange claim, the Ariane accident was a Systems and really a Requirements flaw. Arguably with that spec the same could have happened if they used punched cards or Haskell instead of Ada.

No, compliant mechanisms are important but the real gap in Robotics is perception (and no perception is not just Computer Vision). There is such an insane amount of information richness in mammals and sensor specialization: - Merkel discs -

Question for the people who have used the CH32V003 or more generally WCH, either for hobby or production, what is the current state of documentation and toolchain for these chips? Positive experiences, war stories?

Is there any deeper study on long term effects regarding retinal damage? I would imagine, even with safe dosages, there would be some form of cumulative effect in terms of retinal phototoxicity. More so if we consider the scenario that this

I couldn't find any changes on their keyturn stuff with the 'Webhosting' products? Is the price hike only on Hetzner's offer for dedicated or VPS servers?

I agree with your point that the claim is exagerated. My counterpoint is even if they are subpar, they will still make business sense if they are inexpensive, much in the same way that Static code analysis tools aren't great but becaus

KIT had a project on this (Project KAMINA) which looks like it is also cited in the linked paper. They had a spin off SMELLDECT GmbH which sells a kit but not exactly a order from DigiKey thing. I imagine you will need to send an RFQ and go

Fair, but if you look at most tools for Static Code Analysis they will have equal or worse performance with regards to false positives and are still seen as added value. If this is inexpensive (in terms of cost/time) it will likely mak

Yes one should write flesh out rather than flush out. However, as someone who uses English as a second language, the concept of phrasal verbs is the single most non-intuitive thing (with the very real risk for severe faux pas). From your ow
