The Chaos (1922) - http://ncf.idallen.com/english.html More than half of my life lived in English-speaking countries does not help quite enough to avoid a migraine with this one.

I've had a similar experience with autocorrect on Android across multiple phones (lg, samsung) and keyboards (gboard, swiftkey) around the same time, I'm curious to know whether it's just my own bias being validated or someth

You just threw me back into time I spent on EKF implementations on early iPads over a decade ago (as an exchange student), as part of a M.Sc. in Control Theory... before I had learnt about KF. The goal was to compensate for the drift observ

I am so thankful for Steve Brunton's content. Had I been able to access his content a decade ago during my M.Sc, I would have probably pursued a PhD out of the passion and quality he brings to this domain - instead I just felt done wit

I am not a SV-based or US-based employee, and unfortunately I have to consider myself pretty lucky to be working remotely, and am therefore more stuck in an otherwise terrible job simply because I can't give up remote work. Outside SV

XPath is also good if you think of it in adversarial terms (i.e. QA). I don't care what you div is - I care what text is on the page or whether something is saying what I expect under a title. That's where I got familiar with it (

Sir Pterry was inspired by just about everything, which in itself is an inspiration to always digest what this world throws at us and turn it into all sorts of fantastic things.

What do you think about the materials of the device? The Push 3 looks amazingly interesting to me but the 2 has a lot of comments about plastics not ageing well. It's not a device one would want to replacer anytime soon, so I'm re

I probably have a few things that contribute to a case of CPTSD. Some things can help me (parts of CBT/DBT, zen koans, meds..). But it's also difficult to change a thing that is a feature of you, in that it has been there for so l

I have generalized anxiety disorder along with the lifelong depression. My life has felt like a permanent "emergency mode" from the inside, and with how my body processes things. The funny consequence is that I've been at mul

Unfortunately it's becoming increasingly expensive to find routers for casual home usage that allow for alternative supported firmwares. A decade ago slapping tomato on something cheap would do the trick, but now with high speed intern

It is so incredibly rewarding and peaceful once you get past the odd zones that come and go in the first dozen (for me at ~5k and ~10k actually). I've never ran more than marathon's length, but routinely ran half-marathons for a c

I'm pretty sure revanced.net is not affiliated with the actual project and shouldn't be trusted. AFAIK there's no prebuilt APK doing everything for you that can be trusted, it's a multi-step process one has to follow fro

The point of the person you're replying to is that celebrating this pretty much falls into the naive optimism category. The Paris accord of 2015 comes to mind: the largest emitter by capita withdrawed within a few years (amongst other

You're so thoroughly wrong that it's funny: literally a huge majority of French people are agreeing with the movement despite the hindrances.

Your contempt won't do much in the face of an actual majority voicing its disagreement (you know, the majority that Macron did not deserve but got because people feared the extreme right). And your numbers would be wrong unless you cho

What's your point? That seeing how we're getting screwed is bad for us? How about having the government actually do better and be accountable for it instead? How about Macron promising to follow the CCC's recommendations on d

First off it doesn't need to be done. You're taking a statement from the government as an axiom when it's not one. Secondly, the attitude matters. There is ni trust in the government to not swindle the population, mainly due

Nobody is getting screwed if this isn't getting reformed, the central committee dedicated to making projections for retirement funds projected a mild deficit by 2070 in only 1 out of 4 of its scenarios. The government gave this money a

Not taking money that otherwise would be taken absolutely is giving money. Let me know if the government decides to absolve you of all taxes if you don't think at the end of your year that you've been given money. Also that's

Thanks. I didn't even get into the minister pushing for the reform doing crosswords during a parliamentary session on his subject, the inflation absolutely exploding in France, the surge of students falling below poverty lines and need
