   I would guess that the French government splashes some cash as part of their cultural budget too.

   I think what it actually means is 'you will fly this route past this section of the parcours in this length of time' rather than 'at 3:20 you will be here'.

    I don't know how onion links work but would they have had to brute force that URL?

    This would suit me, actually. I use twitter almost exclusively to follow motor racing journalists. However, because of this, I have to dig through the same journalist's opinions on Brexit, FIFA, or Game of Thrones. It would suit me muc

    I used to spend a fair bit of time in a non-tech IRC (we've moved to Discord since) and the amount of intelligent people who simply could not get the hang of NickServ was astounding.

    This is nice. Not perfect - I wish it was FLOSS for one, and the icons are a bit clunky. But much better than the alternative.

    It's a form of bikeshedding, in that it involves discussing the superficial details that are easy to form an opinion about.

    This person has made their own fully fledged OS. Discuss that instead of bikeshedding about terminology.

    I think it'd be awesome if Eritrea were to produce some pro cyclists. Right now, the pro peloton is, within a rounding error, entirely Caucasian - which I think is something of a shame. To take some examples - while the famously cycle-

    This is why Rust's '?' operator for error propagation is quite nice.

    This strikes me as an approach quite similar to that of Redox: > "Everything is a URL" is a generalization of "Everything is a file", allowing broader use of this unified interface for schemes. It makes sense to me -

    You aren't looking hard enough if you don't believe people will flat out deny that biological differences exist between male and female cognition and neurobiology.

    I'm sorry, I wouldn't be able to provide any specific reading on this. My comment above was rooted in two things. Firstly, my own observations from several years immersed in the massive internet culture war between left and right

    Regardless of the cause of the Ethiopian crash, I think this whole affair has put into stark relief how much of a bodge job the 737 MAX is. It's the culmination of decades of revamps and modifications to a fundamentally outdated design

    It's weird because when you read vulnerability (or at least when I say it) the first phoneme effectively becomes 'vun' - but in the abbreviated form one feels the need to mentally enunciate the 'l'.
