    1. I'm afraid you missed the joke ;-) While you believe spaces are required on both sides of an em dash, there is no consensus on this point. For example, most (but not all) American authorities say /no/ spaces should be used. That's the joke. In writing a line about "only one way to do it", I used a device (em dash) for which at least two ways to do it (with spaces, without spaces) are commonly used, neither of which is obvious -- and deliberately picked a third way just to rub it in. This will never change ;-)

    1. Nos robots sont entièrement programmables via une interface graphique, ou directement par le biais de notre kit de développement logiciel et des outils de codage

      Quand même pas donné à tous de coder, je me demande si le guide est vraiment pratique. Les enfants peuvent peut être glisser directement les "boîtes" précodées dans la console mais n'importe comment cela demande quand même une certaine compréhension du monde de la programmation, adopter une logique propre à cet univers et aniticiper le scénari de l'interaction homme-robot. On est encore loin de l'IA surpuissante façon Westworld.

    1. It's typically a lot easier for software engineers to pull data out of a service that they use than it is for regular users. If APIs are available, we engineers can cobble together a program to pull our data out. Without APIs, we can even whip up a screen scraper to get a copy of the data. Unfortunately, for most users this is not an option, and they're often left wondering if they can get their data out at all.
