Well I didn't knew that, thanks for the info! It's a bit like "espace" which is feminine when talking about typography. Or "covid", but only because I'm too stubborn to accept to say "La covid".

You should try to google "Poule Soie", they are gorgeous beast :) The nickname is a play on my family name ("Monchablon"), that was wrongly written on the first draft of my work contract (as "Mablochon"), which

They should change it to a nicer word, like 'bonheur' (pronounced 'boner'), which is french for happiness :)

For 'string', it's funny how desensitized you get the the word until you talk to a colleague and ask him "Mais du coup t'as un string ?", and realized you asked him in public if he had a tong. Or when you try

What a sad day if it's acted, as a native french I always got a little chuckle that there is a slight comeuppance for the fact that 'bit' (and also 'byte' in a lesser measure) is pronounced exactly like 'bite&#

You can blame both, it's not either/or. Hamas is a terrorist group that makes everything it can do to threaten Israel, and has no regard to Palestinian lives. In the same time, it's getting harder and harder to turn a blind e

Too much interruption is bad, I agree, but there are some type of skills / mindset that are 100x times simpler to gain by contact with colleagues than by training on your own (even when looking at forums). Especially on the things that

But that's the thing: I don't want this "social service", at all. The labor resources would ideally be reduced by only doing hosting, and to check if the deployed app doesn't contains a malware, not on whether the a

This unlimited reach was kinda possible with all the printing technology, and such things as zine. But the main point is that it's the newspaper's own editor, following the newspaper's own editorial line (and possibly the law

But that's Twitter/X labor, not the App Store labor, the App Store should ideally be a glorified S3.

And I don't like the idea of a pen or a notebook company giving themselves editorial power over what people write in those notebook, which is basically what happens now. I'm disgusted at how we transform such fantastic things as p

Yeah, same. I'm not ready to shell a hundred dollars for an ebook, however fantastic it is, my upper limit is around 50 USD, maybe 60, and only if it's very good and niche content.

I think that the idea is that it's potentially more mod-friendly than if all the files resides on a physical support.

What negative stereotype? That Israel has excellent cyber capacity? Sure, there wasn't any official attribution, but the US aren't the only player in town either. EDIT: As an aside, an ex-director of the DGSE[1] (french CIA basica

It's also in the (1998) Metal Gear Solid game, where the protagonist is the unknowing carrier of a virus deadly only to specific key people.

No casual antisemitism here. I would be very surprised if it turns out that Israel wasn't involved in Stuxnet. It's not like they don't have extremely good cyber capacity, or incentives to hinder an iranian nuclear program.

Not necessarily 'unjustly vilified', but most of Edgar Hoover's biography were done before the extend on soviet spying in the US was declassified. It talked about a very interesting podcast on a previous comment [1]. [1] htt

But using the '&&' operator is common enough, while using something like the Javascript void operator would not be, and so would need in a shared codebase a reason for usage other than to try to look smart.

Yeah, I'm not for mindless consumption of social media designed to make you addicted, but this article really feels like the medicalization of what would be described before as a slave revolt. Playfulness isn't even a basic human

Thank you for the reference, not too surprised it's Satie, he's a bit of an odd fellow. And this being HN, I feel obligated to reference a very interesting talk by Mouse Reeve about Erik Satie during a "Strange Loop" con

Not sure if that fits, but maybe the piano piece is the Philip Glass album "Solo Piano", which is variation on the same base melody thorough the whole album?

Tangent to this idea is the concept of 'back pressure' related to data flow, and the need to have a way to return feedback in a system.

Yes and no. You should have more than this one book, but the framing is useful as it force the answerers to make a choice, and avoid dumping a huge list of favorite book.

Not so much programming than Sysadmin, but "Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent R. Hein, Ben Whaley and Dan Mackin. It's a huge book covering a lot of ground, while on the same

No yeah, absolutely do squash those commits, they are actually polluting the git history. The issue for me is when commit who are about adding a new value in the env file become mixed with template and responsive handling, mixed potentially

I agree with you in principle, but it's usually because of process and friction. In the place I'm working right now, that would result in days lost as I need to create a new Jira ticket, which obviously require a team meeting for
