Taking notes is the kind of task that should be simple. In fact, you just need a small notebook and a pen for this. However, sometimes all I got with me is my smartphone, so I would like to have some sort of solution that synced all my notes between the devices I use.

For the most part of the programming projects I am working, I like to specify some aliases for common terminal commands. Them problem is… I have never been satisfied on how to specify such aliases. On JavaScript projects with Node, it is possible to user the package.json scripts property, but this approach is obviously language-specific and cannot be used on other types of projects.

The robotic arm built in this article is a simple n-joints arm that can be rotated in two directions. It will be simulated in Python using the Pygame library.

The objective here is to use concepts of optimization to make the arm follow a moving target (in this case, the mouse cursor).
