Been there too, French in the Anglo world, same cultural clash. I always believed having one "French" mindset person in the team is an asset as a counter balance to the "Yes everything is awesome". Much like the UK is (w

Used in finance for sure. And the reason is the extensive (and expensive) paid support. It acts as an insurance for these businesses that are all about risk management.

Yeah, that's high quality stuff. Unlike many projects were it's about the what the tool does, this one clearly nails down the why and it's done in such a brilliant way I couldn't stop watching it and be amazed. Outstandi

Used to use Dokku but preferred Caprover because it's even less work and there's a web ui. Both are good though

Yeah I have but this isn't the setting for my play-style which tends to overanalyze. So small scale battle is my jam.

I play a fair amount of a regular scale FPS (12v12 max) and it happens fairly regularly that I end up being the last one alive in my team and have to face off multiple opponents. I don't always succeed but the pure thrill of trying to

I am pretty sure activities that have low brain requirements, be it the shower, running and the likes allow our brains to declutter, clean up all the mess of the constant stimuli we are assaulted with, especially from tech, but also noise i

I think it goes deeper than that. Can't tell you how many times I've seen people boil down their identity to "I'm a Googler / Xoogler / ..." They go out in the pub around the corner after work with their c

Not that surprising actually, the static models (ie a crane in a scrapyard) have been electric for a long time. If anything, the biggest challenge / last bastion will be for the highly mobile operations, bringing all the needed infrast

Guerilla appropriation. Leveraging the heavy handed approach of China to pit them against the western companies. As a second order effect, by getting Overwatch and the likes banned (if that were to happen), maybe create some dissent within

More interesting is how in the British Isles and Oceania, how cunt and mate have switched meaning. I'd rather my friends call me a cunt (as the closest ones do) than mate, because the thin veneer of politeness in mate implies distance

Thanks for releasing that Denis. Combining both cheatsheets and a better UX is brilliant. Wish I had this years ago when trying to wrap my head around the shell.

Same here, whether we are actually playing any game or just hanging out and chatting about whatever. Text doesn't convey as much information and the synchronous aspect makes it much more interesting. We're a Mumble crew though but

SA's economy is -AFAIK- mostly / completely dependent on natural ressources. Given that SPOF, one can't help but think of the IRA's threat to Margaret Thatcher : "[...] we only have to be lucky once – you will have

If murder is immoral, what are death penalty and soldiers killing other soldiers (when it's not civilians)? Besides the context (and the legal aspect), they are the same act, homicide with intent. Their morality seem to be different de

Traditional banks in Ireland are pretty bad by European standards. I'm with Ulster Bank ROI (which is actually a subsidiary of Royal Bank of Scotland) and have had a fair share of minor issues with them. Their app also sucks big time.

On my first day in a new house, I was greeted with a mug of vodka by my (long time settled in Ireland) Polish housemate. Yeah, that was a tough one to swallow, literally.
