1887 is in the beginning of France electrification it could indeed be electricity poles (mostly haphazard efforts in France from 1880 to 1890-ish but it’s the entrance of Paris so not an unlikely candidate). Alternatively that could also be

They are perfectly aware that their excuse is flimsy and doesn’t hold scrutiny but they don’t care. Like they didn’t care that Parisians didn’t want the game and it’s just an ego trip from the worst mayor the city has ever had. They didn’t

Coffee is mostly ingredient however. Good luck doing a good coffee with poorly roasted or stale beans while fresh beans will give you a proper cup using a press even if you do it extremely poorly (in so much as you can even mess up a press)

You learn something everyday. For whatever reason I was convinced there was no bijection between R and its cross-products which is extremely wrong.

Nothing surprising here. The cross products of countable set are countable and a bijection between N and NxN which you can then extend as been known for ages. The whole thing falls apart as soon as you use continuous set.

It was developed by the IETF in a working group led by engineers from Cisco and Nokia. It’s approximately as far from an academic solution as you can get.

The issue is not NAT as a firewall. Every routers shipped to customers also come with a firewall and replicating what NAT does by default is dead simple. That’s a red herring. The issue is that migrating to ipv6 meant changing equipments on

People expect respect not hand holding. That kind of comment equating people with children is what gets you rightfully labelled as a jerk.

Knowing it would barely help you. Both titles are amongst the most overused in the industry. They can mean widely different things in different companies.

The article is pretending that having a meeting not only waste half a day but actually waste a full day. Your point B is not reflective of the actual content we are discussing.

Attending meetings is part of doing your jobs. Meetings exist for a purpose. The whole attitude that all meetings are somehow a waste of your precious time show that you both are unable to grasp what’s happening and are strongly entitled. I

I have been both an engineer doing engineering work (I hate the word “maker”) and a manager. I found this article infuriating and still do. This article is a pure product of this period when software developers thought themselves as extreme

No one is complaining A is not B. Everyone is complaining that macOS lacks some fairly basic UX options and is being neglected by Apple which corrects these flaws at a glacial pace.

You don’t try to. You just say are not doing take home in a firm and polite way expecting things to end there and sometimes they think it’s still worth interviewing you.

> “safe” No idea of why you quote the word. Alcohol consumption is demonstrably unsafe. The estimate is that alcohol kills around 140 000 people per year in the USA. It's just legal because criminalisation was tried and proven to be

The Navy is listening at all time but sounds travel weirdly in sea water due to temperature and salinity gradients and submarines tend to travel through zones where their own sound isn't carried very well. They might have been ordered

I agree with you but I also realise it’s very hard to imagine what a proper tempest on the sea feels like if you are never experienced it on a ship. It’s an experience which is so far removed from a modern person traditional experience - a

You are confused. The issue is not about working harder. The issue is with producing value. I have yet to met a protester who can explain to me how burning cars and picketing is going to magically move down the median age of the population

Classic French answer confusing the fairly good situation in the country for a disaster. France has been for the past sixty years and remains an extremely technocratic country. Counter-powers are still everywhere in the administration. The

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to understand from this article. Using off-the-shelf parts is par for the course even on military boats and submarines. They are far cheaper than custom made parts with fault rates which are acceptab

The issue is not the veracity of the statistics. The statistic is correct (I have never implied otherwise by the way - no idea why I'm downvoted so much as what I wrote is perfectly true, the proportion of people who don't want ki

That's survivorship bias. You have eliminated from the sample all the people who wanted to have kid and already have one. It's unsurprising that people who don't want kids and will never have some are overly represented in th

Your manager is not an idiot. They generally can tell who is failing to deliver because they are constantly stuck on trivial things and who genuinely can’t do more and need help. If you go see your manager because the team next door is bloc

That’s in line with the response I’m used to get from cybersecurity teams at the large company I work for. It is neither reasonable nor appropriate in tone but I have got used to it being apparently the best they can do/can be bothered

How is it silly? PS:T is a cRPGs not a visual novel. There is an actual game you have to play around the dialogues and this game is not particularly complex, engaging or even that fun as demonstrated by the rest of my comment lamenting the
