Although it's a fictional novel, I really like The Adventures of Captain Hatteras .

You're quite optimistic, thinking Putin dying is good enough. The Russians have been swamped in nationalistic rhetoric for ages. Who's to say that Putin going away won't just help reform Russia into a state that's more e

Murnau and Dreyer both had an incredible sense of photography.

First of all I was referring to the American war of independence era. Second, as I understand it English or British ancestry is very under-reported in the US due to it being the default and people focus on more exotic, original origins.

The country they directly immigrated from. You argument would make more sense if the 13 colonies were made of native North Americans.

Yep. And the States are suzerains of their Counties (thus being vavasours of the Federal governement !).

If anything, an hermiticaly sealed body is much more interesting to scientists. See the St Bees man. His 14th c. corpse was still fresh as his lead casket remained sealed.

It's one of the most ancient and illustrious noble families in France. There's virtually no chance somebody would bear than name without an actual relationship to the familly. They'd risk litigation, for one.

It seems accurate, albeit a bit outdated, for my extremelly rare familly name (I know most of the people who bear it, and we're still clustering around what I assume is our ancestral village), but the more common form of the same name

The other way around. In feudal terms (where "suzerain" belongs), the US States would be vassals to the US governement.

Using Anglo-Saxon etymons it would be "overlord", I guess.

Poland is also a good reference point for the argument you're making. They had a long lasting resistance movement, hundreds of thousands of diehard fighters. Yet it had to wait until 1989 for any sort of independence. As for material s

That is wishful thinking. Despite the initial blunders, Russia is advancing in Ukraine at the same pace Germany was in Poland. And it's unlikely they'll get worse as time goes on (the Wehrmacht in its time used Poland to massive

From a purely rational point of view, isn't it safer to assume that by default every element of our species is purposeful unless proven otherwise ?

AFAIK git was made with an email workflow in mind. Git's the byproduct on the Linux kernel project, for better or worse. GitHub provide a fake email address that's tied to your GH account for commit stats, which is an appreciated

I'll consider giving money of my own free will to Google when they stop farming my data and dodging taxes. I sponsor a number a creators through Patreon.

> Is there a technical reason why Steam is a such a force in the space? It just works and doesn't get in the way. In all my time using Steam, I've never had a case when it wasn't maxing out my bandwidth during a download.

id Software is the one that comes to mind. Even with the Zenimax acquisition and Carmack's departure, they don't seem to have lost their engineering chops. Doom 4 and Doom Eternal are known to run incredibly well.

The assumption is that a job that would incentivize non-competes would be so well paid that 50% would still be comfortable, isn't it ?

The single worst captcha I've ever had to this day was the « gift » of German hosting company 1&1, which managed to stonewall their customer support (I think) by putting it behind a captcha made exclusively of a string of the digit

Being a renter just taught me to batch my $STUFF I/O to minimize read-writes to disk and maximize available low-latency space. ie. fill my bags to the brim with shit I didn't plan using whenever I'd go to my parents'.

It reminds me of the first great decipherment, that of hieroglyphic Egyptian. Young's quantitative approach gave a few insights that proved useful later on, but that approach was ultimately limited and wasn't leading anywhere. It

I'd wager the intrinsic value of gold has little to do with its valuation, since the vast majority of it is used for banking and jewelry. Contrast that with metal from the platinum group, like palladium, which are heavily use for thing

There are other cheap-to-deploy-on EVM-compatible (I feel like I'm talking about the IBM PC days) blockchains out there that aren't wholly owned by an exchange. Avalanche, Polygon etc.

Older water pressure reactors in France are 900mw/1300mw, the EPR is 1650mw. I concede it's not as dramatic an increase as I made it sound. But it should also go hand in hand with longer uptimes and better safety.
