   Might as well mint that comment and call it Old Man Yelling At Clouds #840544564.

   I bought CK2 years back, in a pack with all the then-existing DLCs. Then they added a lot more. I'm just defeated, I give up. I refuse to deal with products that don't have a clear feature-set and pricing. You don't have to d

   Back in 1999 we had a massive storm in France. It put large parts of the country in a blackout in the middle of winter because all the electricity infrastructure was above ground. Out neighbours in Germany, who buried everything, were fine.

   In France I got one that I can remember of in all the time I've had this number, which is over ten years now. And it was an opinion poll. Also got 5 or 6 scam SMS.

   I'm not quite sure it's really a book on assassination. This being said, it also has a great BCC adaptation with Derek Jacobi [1] ! [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEeXcJZEATU&list=PLEjWO5ZEvW...

   I was an avid Paradox player, but I pretty much stopped when they started pumping out DLCs at a rate I couldn't follow with, in the CKII/EUIV era. I played EUIV a bunch but I probably still have more hours on EUIII

   We've got a vaccine passport in France and it boosted vaccination substantially. Italy is the same, AFAIK. The doses were always "free". Testing used to be as well, now it's 15€ I think.

   Despite the relatively high level of education here, collectively the community can be extremely doctrinal or knee-jerky on a number of subjects. Most articles that mention crypto bring a cohort of « Ponzi scheme » and « destructive mining

    I've got terrible mathematical education, but Feynman diagrams are something even a clown like myself can easily wrap his head around. They're really an exceedingly clever device, end "clever" doesn't do it justice.

    Nobody ever got fired for buying IB... I mean Lockhead. For countries that are functionally vasals to the US, it's a risk-free decision, at least politically.

    Same thing in France, probably to an even worse degree. Most tech companies fall either in that category or in the overgrown defense contractor one. Little in-between and no funding.

    There's one coal seem fire in Australia that's been going on for 6000 years.

    That would worsen it, as the sand would act as an insulator and increase the temperature of the battery rather than dissipate it. A battery « fire » is powered by the energy stored within, not by something being combusted.

    Add jitter to the list. Consistency is probably more important for end-user perception than average latency.

    That's honestly entirely dependent on the doc base. Case in point : learning C# recently I've done everything I could to escape Microsoft's official doc and found myself on a lot of blog posts expounding on topical issues I w

    Cantrill did a talk on which he touches on C, C++ and Rust for systems programming [1]. His tl;dr being that Rust feels very much like a proper systems programming language, and more of a « better C » than C++. I don't entirely know wh

    It's only waste insofar as you don't ascribe value to Bitcoin. It's not fundamentally different from any computing task.

    While I feel atrociously impolite pinging people who've never asked me anything out of the blue, I do enjoy sending a small thank-you email to people who've, often inadvertently, brought me down a rabbit hole I wasn't aware o

    Basic git-fu (init, add, clean, commit, pull, push, branch, merge, stash, log) goes a long way to make your life easier. You can leave the fancy stuff for later. There are even git repos of 99% done .gitignore files for most needs [1], whic

    It's not just time span. VSCode is a Microsoft project, and there's probably quite a bit of US corporate culture around it.

    Is it that they don't get work done, or that they can purge all the down time from office work and use it efficiently (doing laundry vs doing HN) ?

    I switched all my text editors and terminals to Cascadia PL these last few years, after having tried the Windows Terminal. Microsoft really came out with a near perfect coding font for me with this one. I used to be a Source Code Pro guy. T
