Something interesting I caught on the radio this morning and that I find really relevant, is that while Yellow Vests have people from both ends of the political spectrum, the far-right is not anti welfare state at all. LePen's Rassembl

And maybe interesting, or dangerous depending on the point of view, amongst the rioters you got both far-left and far-right movements on the same side, which is something that does not happen that often.

While not being perfect, that is still far better than regime in Zimbabwe, Venezuela or North Korea, where the head of state keeps the power as long as he is alive, or is replaced by force by another thug.

The specific issue with Mayotte is that the other half of the archipelago has chosen to remain independent [1]. So on a very small territory you have a third world country, Comoros, and a piece of the European Union, where, even if it is no

While obviously biased, I have at least learned that svn seems to have easier merge experience than it used to.

I would say it depends on the context, is it a mistake, like a misclick or a script with a wrong URL, or is it a deliberate actions after your warned him ? It is not quite clear either if the db is still there and it will stay there on purp

Not a doctor, but I believe this is well established that grief can affect your memory. There is plenty of hit for grief and memory loss on Google. Likely this is only temporary. But I guess that the lack of sleep, which is also known for a

I am working on medical devices, where a bug can have catastrophic consequences. Essentially the ecosystem today is C and C++ for embedded FW and middleware. Even if we are careful, we rely on static analysis tools to avoid some categories

I don't disagree with you, but it is hard to tell if social media platform are developed primarily for their end users or for advertisers.

That's an interesting idea to have a Time To Live attached to things you can share, so it will stay in your close network. However, who would like to use a platform where things can not go viral ? Certainly not advertisers. This is an

As a medical device sw developer, if doing your risk analysis, you notice that if for some reason the user miss something important, it will create a risk for the patient, the easiest (and cheap and lazy) solution is often to add a blaring

How do we know with still have a functioning ecosystem ? For example, there is a massive extinction of bees going on, the only reason we don't see a massive impact is that we have industrialized bee productions. https://thec

It is probably a lot easier and cheaper to colonize the Sahara desert than Mars, but since there are less incentive to do it we won't. Mars surface area : about 144.8 million km² Earth Desert area* : about 44 million km² [*] includin

Take it with a grain of salt, because I worked mainly in the industry (automotive, telecom, medical devices). Generally, a more generic engineer diploma includes some electrical engineering, mechanics, signal processing, and so on. Sometime

I understand your sentiment, but it boils down to : past catastrophic predictions were wrong so future catastrophic predictions are also going to be wrong. That does not reassure me one bit. Let's that the doomsday future is 100 millio

Tangentially, I am not sure this is that easy to find a tree that will resist to a rapid climate change. In a few decades, a place can become too dry, or an invasive species can move from a hotter place and decimate the trees. Probably both

That sounds awfully close to DMAIC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMAIC Nothing wrong with that though...

Clone the repository, create your branch "with_comment". Every time you want to sync with the upstream repo, you pull in the master branch where you have done no modification, and merge to you comment branch whenever your need&#x2

Why are elections not held on Sundays ? I assume that on average there are less people working that day that Monday - Friday, so less people would have to take time off from their job. Edit: Found this > In 1845, the United States Congre

There should be more options, like Republic of Ireland joining the United Kingdom. Or Scotland making a bid to join the EU.

Actually I believe there are 2 different data. The number of level of the building, (from which you can extrapolate an height) and the actual height in meter (which is much harder to estimate as a random mapper). Street Complete prompt you

If you want to manually enter the height of building in your neighborhood, the Android App StreetComplete[0] allows you to do it rather painlessly. The interface is rather intuitive, and it will prompt you only if the data is missing in OSM

You can use Linux with the Preempt RT patch or Xenomai, which is using a kind of micro kernel in addition to the Linux Kernel. The downside is you have to rewrite your drivers for Xenomai. I thought that the latter was better in terms of pe

But what kind of machine do you need to raise a hill up and down by a few meters ? Even if breaking the load in small bits, the cost and maintenance of equipment would likely be a few magnitude higher that the energy stored or saved.

The point is that we are a long way to have a common EU intelligence service. Even if services are cooperating, every nation state wants to keep some cards in hands.

This is also a natural consequence of globalization, and the increasing complexity of digital layers. At one point, it becomes impossible to have a 100% home grown solution, except maybe if you are really big, like the US or China.

I don't know BrainOS, but the most obvious difference is that ROS is open source, so you can prototype or tinker with it easily. BrainOS seems to be a totally closed solution, and details are sparse on what it actually runs and does. R
