    This machine is incredibly complex, as it doesnt rely on any mechanical coupling. That means that every facet of the machines operation is adjustable via a stepper motor, DC motor, or servo motor. There are a lot of motors to drive, so de Meester needed multiple Arduino boards: an Arduino Mega 2560 and two Arduino Nanos. The mechanical components are 3D-printed (like the shuttles) or made from [05:18] schestowitz aluminum extrusion and wood (like the frame).

    In 2018, attending the UN forum on business and human rights, I blogged a photo of the Afghan president and made some brief comments about the possibility of Twitter falling into the wrong hands.

    The full video is available from UN Web TV. There is an extract below where Bennett Freeman of the Global Network Initiative gives some interesting responses to my comments.

    It was announced a couple of hours ago, Emacs 29s branch is now cut from the master branch! This means the emacs-29 branch will from now no longer receive any new feature, but only bug fixes.

    So, whats new with this new major release? I skimmed over the NEWS file, and here are the changes which I find interesting and even exciting for some.
