I would say that Dune would be better as a limited serie vs being a movie. It would give more time to expand on the background information and yes I agree as it is, I feel that it's a movie that just works better for people who have re

I've been rather impressed with Villeneuve's Dune. It's not perfect, I feel that there's not enough backstory and context for those not familiar with the novel (not explaining CHOAM and the landsraad makes the emperor&#x

Ha! thought exactly the same. I haven't used Windows in 18 years but when he mentioned installshield and cab files I felt right at home. Still remember using the PowerToys to open cab files :)

The main reason I'm interested is that my previous 16 inch macbook pro would regularly go up to 90 degrees celsius. So, my hope is that it won't go above 50 degrees celsius... I don't want to burn my legs...

Exactly, I would not mind paying 50 usd a year (it's what I already have paid in donation for mozilla).

Ok, I always thought that vegetarian = no fish and meat and veganism = vegetarian - egg, milk and anything produced by animals. If you can complement with fish, then it's obviously a lot easier.

When I last researched, most studies studying vegetarian diets for toddlers and young children showed clear deficiencies when it came to certain nutrients and delayed development due to this. So I'm not entirely sure I'd call it u

I agree but to be fair, I do remember that a lot of fresh international undergrad students just arriving from China tended to be very patriotic and pro-CCP even back in early 2000s. The difference is that a lot of them changed their minds a

I'd say there's a clear difference between what they were doing post Deng Xiaoping and what they've been doing since Xi Jinping came to power. It's much more worrying now. I remember 15-20 years ago, my friends in China

Well, purely anecdotal but a family member was part of the local communauté de commune and they had difficulties recruiting Eboueurs. This is more in the country side where I imagine that the risks in term of accident might be higher? (at l

Hadn't read about garbage collectors but given that it's a job that's hard to recruit for and has a higher accident than most jobs, it makes sense. It's the kind of job that non-immigrants tend to not want to do.

Smart action by the French government. France is not necessarily the most attractive country for medical workers and doctors in terms of income so being grateful for their support and giving them the citizenship is a smart thing to do when

My banks no longer allow SMS 2fa. The only 2fa available are those through their mobile app. So without android or iOS banking will quickly become impossible. And I wish I could just switch banks but in some situation it's not possible

Yes, I should have elaborated. The two best engineers in our team are in their mid 40a and our QA lead is in his late 50s. So, I'm well aware that even great candidates who are really good at what they do are passed over just because o

As someone who's been in charge of recruitment, I've made an effort in hiring people who are less likely to get a chance at other places (minorities, older candidates) One thing that stood out to me though is that a lot of the old

The problem is that often enough official translations are not necessarily made by good, well paid translators. So we're not translating amateur translator to real translators but amateur passionate translators to cut-rate translators.

I was extremely surprised at how poor quality Duolingo's Mandarin class was.. I don't speak fluently but I speak well enough for daily life and even I could find some errors (and confirmed with my partner who is a native speaker)

Given the monopoly he has, he could probably get away with multiplying the price of items and trying to transform it in a profitable business. It's more of a choice to make it a hobby.

Problem with the OSCP is that they decided to now have proctors watching through a webcam for the duration of the exam (24 hours). Not sure if a lot of people in the industry are comfortable with such a gross invasion of their privacy. Othe

One of the big competitive advantage Fastly has compared to say Akamai is that configuration changes roll out extremely fast. I could see them skimping on smoke tests to keep that advantage and not thinking that this could ever happen.

You are right, if one reads it very charitably but in my experience "a lot of people like X because they hate Y" is very often used as a writing device to make a point and denigrate X. In this case, no, it doesn't say that al

That's super interesting, can you expand? How is wealth treated quasi-collectively despite varying incomes? Is it shared between members? Or do members help with certain expenses like education, health, housing? I'm rather curiou
