For this kind of stuff there is usually much more in the language of origin. I’d suspect the French article have more details on this since it was the French navy.

Not trying to defend this kind of practices, it just reminds me of something I watched recently about the working conditions in the Victorian era in a UK cotton mill… Atrocious and exploitative by all current standards, and yet people chose

He has “The Vision”… It’s the modern entrepreneurship trope that lowly engineers won’t achieve anything if they weren’t rallied by a demi-god who has “The Vision” and makes it all happen.

I don’t get it either. I always suspect greed but I’m as puzzled. I don’t see how the headaches, the ethics of screwing people over (and killing them in that case) is so enjoyable that you just don’t know when to quit. I suspect some people

That could very well be the case, OpenAI took quite a few opaque decision/changes not too long ago.

Magic numbers something something. If your language provides it as a constant, why not use that? You’ll always get the correct value AND a descriptive name for free.

Besides Swisscom, internet is very reasonably priced in Switzerland. I had 1gbit symmetrical without contract or install fee and free equipment (including a standalone fiber to Ethernet converter) for 49.- a month. Many cities or communitie

Can you even achieve 1200 down with only 20 up? Is it enough bandwidth to send all the ACKs back and get full speed down?

Saves battery too along with cross fade transitions :)

Double tap is reachability for me and triple tap is to make the display very dim so that at night at the lowest brightness setting, I can get it even lower. It resets after a while so even if I forget to switch it off my screen won’t stay d

I’d you’re not doing anything. But if you’re doing physical effort then you’ll need to drink a lot more that 2–3L a day.

Switzerland is a bit weird in that respect and loves working even more than the US does. You’re not a good Swiss if you’re not working 0800–1800 and loving it. The rest of Europe is much more chill with work. There is also much better healt

Not necessarily, it sells a message and an image on top of just wasting the large amount of money that any ad costs.

Side note: because literally has been so often used to mean figuratively, literally is now acceptable to mean figuratively. They even updated the definition in the dictionary: the word now means literally AND its opposite.

What bothers me the most is the casual destruction of perfectly functional, expensive (for some) items. It’s glorifying waste, and I’m sure there are individuals or families that would kill for the chance to get a piano, a trumpet, or the i

In my experience they typically codeshare these flights and use the other airlines planes because theirs… can’t fly out of Africa.

by ornornor 2y ago
African airlines apply different standards of maintenance (read much lower), that’s why most African airlines aren’t allowed to fly outside of Africa: they aren’t up to the maintenance and safety standards the rest of the world requires. Di

No but that what I mean, I have nowhere near billions and I’d be prepared to pay much more money to avoid going to jail than I’d be prepared to spend in jail (time wise) to keep all my money. Therefore, I’d think losing money hurts less tha

Everything that is wrong with contemporary software development, in one blog post. At least the author was not in an adversarial relationship with their devs, so not everything I guess.

by ornornor 2y ago
What’s money when you have billions? Isn’t jail worse then? I’d be prepared to pay a very large amount if it meant I could avoid going to jail. There is a much much much smaller amount (if any) of jail I’d accept in return for money.

I don’t have personal experience with this, I was referring to GP who said that’s what they did.

You can always liquidate the investment, pay the house off, sell it, buy elsewhere. If you’ve invested in volatile titles that can be a problem. But if it’s a bond, it’s quite stable and doable.
