Thanks for taking the time to comment. That makes more sense. From the article, it seemed that it took a while for Patrik to notice that Jari had a problem and that this caused Jari to panic with the consequences of him dying. That's a

I'm not a diver so what I'm about to say may sound incredibly naive but I'm surprised they don't use more advanced communication tech when diving than just relying on light signal. They could use some kind of haptic feed

As a slight counterpoint to this, I was born and raised in small villages in Normandy. I had good food in elementary school and high school. A bit on the oily side but still freshly prepared, relatively healthy and actually better and less

Yes I definitely do check if my dentist go to conferences, presents or teaches. Ever since a dentist fucked up and caused me a lot of pain and to spend a lot of money to fix the damage, I've become very careful about how I chose health

Yes, it's the highlight of Cryo's output. Everything from this game is great from the music by Stephane Picq to the mixture of adventure game, trading and strategy. Lost Eden follows a similar concept but it's nowhere as good

I think you can just skip the first two sequels... The emperor god of dune still reads fine without remembering those two sequels perfectly. Incidentally I agree, while the first two sequels are interesting they are a bit of a slow read and

No, what vog means I think is that if A receives basic income competes with someone B who doesn't receive basic income (because only 250 people gets it in that test), then the moral thing to do from A's point of view is to volunta

I completely agree that the services and companies that rely on those technologies should also contribute. But as a software developer, I use openssh daily in my job. I use tmux, I use nginx, I use openssl and a lot more opensource projects

I've just donated. It's an important project and Werner Koch needs to be rewarded. I feel that we, as a community, are really bad at supporting some of the opensource projects that powers our infrastructure. I'm not sure what

The technic are sold as a set but it doesn't stop kids from creating a lot of different things with them. As a kid, I almost only played with the lego technic but almost never actually assembled the object from the set.

Exactly plus at scale AWS doesn't do everything either, a sysadmin or at least consultants are still needed to navigate the gotchas and help with how to better provision the stack. AWS instances don't just scale themselves. There

People under 30-35 in France now tend to learn and speak foreign languages. It wasn't the case before. The focus on learning new languages in France only really started at the end of the 90s with, for example, engineering degrees requi

I plan a mini 2-3 day holiday every year just to play the latest civilization. Apart from that I play very little but I feel that it's nice to plan ahead so that I can waste time without feeling guilty.

The openBSD foundation is also responsible for openSSH which I think might actually have a bigger install base than firefox... I wonder if they would get significantly more donations if they renamed themselves to the openSSH and BSD foundat

I think sometimes correcting the symptom leads the person to realize that they are doing that and correct the problem. It's easy to behave like a jerk without realizing it and a lot of people who come off as arrogant don't imagine

And this is why in addition to per site passwords, I also use per site email addresses. I like to be able to track who spams me and in case of leaks I like the ability to disable an email address...
