A similar thing happened in Zurich, Switzerland:

How do they get a building on the rail?

I’d assume the same way they fix building foundations: powerful jacks that raise the whole building

By making sure everyone is well-trained.

Agreed! The author makes exactly this point towards the end of the post.

Maybe the author’s next piece should be about people not reading the entire article before they reply.

Then there last paragraph would tell them he’ll ignore replies that don’t mention plaid.

I also see an alternative in 2021, even with both parents working. Just as a baby might be trained to sleep through the night, an adult can be trained to not sleep in one big chunk of 6-8 hours, but sleep in several chunks of a few hours. A little nap here and there, and some getting used to using your brain (=working) when tired is a viable alternative for me at least. While sleep is very important for ones health, having a child got me to realize that I can function with less sleep as well. This would be more in the spirit of „parents adapt to their new life as a young family“ in contrast to „the baby adapts to the parents pre-family lifestyle“. I am ready to sacrifice sleep for going out and working late, and so am I to comfort a crying brand-new descendant of mine. (Maybe I‘ll change my mind once the second baby is here ;) )

My favorite monospaced font is Recursive Mono.

I am not sure whether this is a actually feature of this font. Some ligatures, like => are only active in comments. It works both in Sublime Text and QtCreator: https://imgur.com/nWsZieo

It reminds me of Comic Sans...

No, it's significantly less readable than Comic Sans. Pointfree, however, is a good simple monospace variant of Comic Sans.

The servos are certainly where you can spend most money when building a robot for research. I tried building small research robots with small servos ($25 each), see results at the end of this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q8jgu-EtCFc

The total cost for one robot was well below 1k. The servos are $25 each (Turnigy 306G if remember correctly), all connecting parts are 3d printed, the electronics and batteries are about $50, and you could add a raspberry pi for $50. So in total <$500, depending on number of DOFs.

Of course, these servos don't have the same torque as Dynamixles, for example. But they are lighter!

Do you have any videos of the actual robots or just the simulation?

thanks, that's what I was looking for. Do you find the 306Gs work reliably and the cables don't get messed up in routine research work?

I would love that, too.

Sure, worker rights shouldn't be limited to tge most vulnerable. This post however wasn't about work ethics, but about having too little time for yourself if you are working 40hrs/week. It's actually not even about work/life balance, but rather work/chores/hobbies balance. In my opinion you can't blame the 40hours of work.
