I live in Switzerland and every website seems to think I speak German (I do, but this is not the point). Everything is configured in French on my computer, so why do you insist serving me content in German. Yes , I do understand that 66% of

Author of the project here. I took very little time to write this joke, this obviously an oversight from me. I was working on my conda installation, so I didn't look further. It is fixed now, it should be working.

I am currently beginning a PhD in physics (mathematical modeling, simulation on HPC) in Switzerland, and I am afraid that after my PhD, I won't find a job that really pleases me. These last years, I came under the impression that you c

Same in my case. I am a music hobbyist, and invested some money in tools that work only on Windows and MacOs. Of course, I could start from scratch, learn a new tool, pick up some compatible vsts, but really it is not the same. When the day

I currently have VS code open with multiple plugins and a dozen of opened files, and it is using 33MB of RAM. Of course, vi would never use that much RAM, but for the functionnality that VS code offers, I find this acceptable.

Neutrons that escape the tokamak arrive in a lithium mantle around the reactor, which produces helium and some heat. The heat is extracted from the lithium mantle, and then you have a conventional gas turbine. This is what I remember from m

This question may be a bit naive, but it comes from somebody who has never used asciidoc but used a lot of LaTeX to make reports, poster, presentations, ... Why are you using asciidoc to write a book, instead of LaTeX ? I see the advantage

In my country (Switzerland), while they have massively invested in cashless solutions, a lot of places are still accepting cash, and I think it is a good thing. One of the big retailer (Coop) has self-checkout machines that accept and give

Usually, the formulas I derive on paper end up quite complicated and can not be simplified away. When I am numerically implementing the formula, I want that it matches closely what I wrote in the paper, and long variable names would make my

Trains can already be electrified without the need for batteries. For the case of buses, I think there is an elegant solution that they have begun to use in my city. Historically, they already have been electric cables around the city for p

However, Bohmian mechanics are not pseudo-science. It is a beautiful useless interpretation of quantum mechanics that has many problems, but at least it is still science. Cold fusion I agree tends towards pseudo-science. I can understand th

Gimp is a free solution, but unfortunately is very weak in terms of functionalities and interface compared to Photoshop. I have been using Affinity Photo for a few years, and I have to say it is a very solid alternative to Photoshop. It onl
