Sorry to hijack a bit the thread. I have been using Emacs for the past 20+ years. Before I could live in Emacs, now, I find it harder (software forced on me by external customers, AI tools, ...). I try everywhere I can to install an Emacs m

Same experience, from startup to large multinational EU companies. The biggest headaches/issues are normally local regulations (country specific or even more local). The EU directives are more frameworks with a lot of flexibility and w

From a geopolitical point of view, if we increase solar/renewable, we decrease dependencies on fossil fuels. As fossil fuels are traded in USD, we decrease our needs of USD, so we decrease the value of the USD. Isn't it what the c

I am asking my team to flag git commits with a lot of LLM/Agent use with something like: [ai]: rewrote the documentation ... This is helps us to put another set of "glasses" as we later review the code.

I fundamentally agree with your comment. But for Denmark, it is very difficult to learn Danish. I lived there 3 years, took courses and was at end able to do my daily stuff in English, but a part of the society simply does not want a foreig

It makes sense, in Europe, German people are the ones spending the most in kitchen hardware (both appliances and furniture). So naturally, companies have been serving this market. Anecdote, high end Miele appliances have been running Linux

Yes, but they keep a series without these "cloud" (dis)functions.

We are all Miele at home and for the next renewal, I will go to Bosch/Siemens. Too many small failures here and there (less than 8 year old). I was sincerely surprised because 20 years ago, Miele was the gold standard (at least in Germ

Not necessarily, I have a website with 95% (maybe even more) of the traffic generated by crawlers. If some of them are behaving badly, it is fair to exclude them with my robots.txt. But of course, the ones behaving badly tend to not respect

You need to drive and fine tune a Ferrari because it feeds your family. The OP just drive a nice little car, because it is fun to drive and he enjoys it. He could extract another +5% of torque by fine tuning, but he does not care, this is n

With Moveable Type we even generated .php files with prerendered content in it from the database and using the PHP part of it to add server side dynamic functionalities. This was a very nice balance between a static and a fully dynamic webs

Need to renovate an old house, built in the 50's, extended later in the 60's, 90's and 2000's. I want to calculate the heat loss, energy requirements to install a heat pump. So, I am writing a relatively simple Python pr

Thank you. More and more, especially in engineering, I am in contact with people who just want everything to be easy to understand in TikTok length video clips or short posts. Some things are hard to understand, dynamic systems especially,

The current trend, at least in Germany, is that as soon as a kid says "I do not want anymore.", this is normal to stop. With that, the kids do not have the experience that it can be hard, but going through can bring something. R

But kids are going to have setbacks, they will reach a plateau in their craft (music, painting, art, sport, ...). You need also as a good parent to help your kids go through, to not give up, because even joy to do is not always enough. This

I suppose you do not have children. I am open-minded, mid 40's. The level of violence in porn you can get access to with just one click, has no comparison with what I could get access to as a kid (basically nothing). With the net, you

Thanks a lot for this comprehensive answer. I have a Garmin watch, maybe there is an app for it too. As a developer, the balance between using a readymade solution or implementing is always a bit tipped on the DIY side.

For me, the best part of the article, this applies in so many places in life. And of course, I am guilty too. “The whole point about aviation safety is that you have to have the humility to understand that you are imperfect, because everybo

For us, the NN is used in a grey box model for MPC in chemical engineering. The factories we control have relatively long characteristic time, together with all the engineering bounds, we can use the NN to model parts of the equipment from

It is not old school, this is my daily job and we need even more of it with the NN models used in MPC.

This is interesting. We have the same in France. The first big "big surface" stores were named supermarché , then we got hypermarché and the funniest is that now we have superette , a small surface store, branded like the supe
