Well the median of measure that are only aggregated by average (RRD, carbon ...) is ... biased. Hence the reason I made my own backend for making very high precision measurement using a percentile filter (10%, 50%, 90% and average for the f

A > B means that A can make B to do something that B cannot make A do. By definition this kind of order relationship is a marker of «power» struggle. Let's take the example of the kosher/allahl for instance, in a term of organo

I used to use debian. But their bureaucratic self righteous organization have -at my own personal- opinion created a drift between them and upstream packages. Countless decisions of debian maintainers (that are proficient at packaging and N

Well letter, legal vs A4 is a concern. Some printing drivers tends to alter content in the «fitting» process making some pdf hard to read. And screen tends to be in weired and diverse height vs width ratio. US standards are ridiculous. At l
