I can understand not wanting to move very far, but the location is in many ways great: French alps within driving distance, Jura within walking distance, the lake, old architecture, lots of fields and forests. World-leading public transport

I'd encourage you to have a look at a well-known European physics research laboratory's (rhymes with Bern) library and engineering departments ( not IT, unless they've started using version control and tests since I worked t

A VR game with solid Souls-like combat. Block, poke, slash, slam, flick, roll & jump using buttons :), and explore the heck out of a huge world with massive detail. Basically Elden VRing.

IME the vast majority of startups actually pay terribly, because they can lure a bunch of inexperienced people in with the prospect of making buck in the longer term. I'm sure there are startups which pay well, but I suspect they are a

Nix, CDK, and (to a lesser extent) Puppet are good alternatives, depending on exactly what you're trying to do. Nix is fantastic for reproducibility on individual machines and not borking the rest of the system when used on a non-NixOS

15 shaves per blade is maybe for the ultra-cheap ones. The Gillette Mach Turbo 3s I've been using for 15+ years last maybe 50+ shaves each, much better than other brands. Even the "ordinary" Mach 3 blades last much shorter.

I expect this is a placebo effect. It's completely possible to feel more productive without actually being more productive. Looking back on the (admittedly very few) caffeine-fuelled stints I've had they were just more chaotic

If you dislike snaps I'd suggest having a look at Nix. Feel free to ask if you're looking for any specific feature snaps (or debs) aren't providing.

Trolling often involves bad faith communication, but bad faith communication isn't necessarily trolling. Consider politicians, salespeople, and advertisers who are willing to convince by any means possible.

Postel's law is for when it's hopeless to get to a sane standard in the near-to-mid term, as with HTML and JS back in the day. Browsers had to implement ridiculously lenient parsing to provide a reasonable user experience on top o

In mathematics or other formal systems you can disprove a statement. In empirical studies that's a literally impossible bar to meet, indicating infinite certainty.

This is really bad editorializing: the original uses "challenges", while this uses "disproves". "Disproves" is not appropriate in any empirical setting, doubly so where there are constant back-and-forth "

Looks like it's closed source. Several GitHub repos, but only for things like issues and building ISOs.

Same. There are so many websites which don't work with Firefox (even without any extensions), it's not funny. Who'd've thought interoperability would actually regress now that basically all the frameworks support all t

They don't show any details about the survey, as far as I can tell. So we can't tell either way. This is sloppy, since it invites interpretation based on preconceived notions rather than facts.

Nice! Do any more advanced query strings work right now? Like looking for recent pages or only searching titles?

"Pay me" seems a bit too aggressive. Might as well put paid support options in the "Support" section of the readme.

No idea if you can see it in action anywhere, but I haven't been looking for it. But you're on the right track - you have to learn from seeing it in action (ideally pairing, like we did at that job), the process isn't visible

The vocal detractors of TDD have never seen it in action. After some 10 years as a developer I met the first person who actually knew how to practice TDD. It was eye opening how fast they could produce quality code.

We don't know (and in a sense can't know, unless we have separate first hand records) what was behind the black spots. Cigarettes? Disfigurement? Nudity? Famous people's faces?
