Well... there are worse places than Belgium for sure, and as a foreign citizen who has been living in Belgium for about a decade I think it's a reasonably well functioning country for west European standards, but I wouldn't use ei

I always wonder what these unspecified ways that iOS is better than Android actually are. These posts always have a few comments like that, but they never actually say what they find to be better on iOS.

In French, turquoise is "bleu turquoise", so obviously blue. So I'm not surprised it says "For you, turquoise is blue." In Dutch it's called "appelblauwzeegroen" (apple-blue sea-green, yes it's w

Most Linux users don't use Macs because running Linux on a Mac is difficult. But I think many people would like to run Linux on Apple hardware. That's what I do and I haven't found better hardware yet. You just have to be car

I wouldn't say that. The current title indicates that the article is likely written in a less clinical manner than an article called "Using computer vision to score rifle shooting cards" would have been.

> Manually selecting C0 to make it stand out That's not what they did, actually. C0 is the only byte in there that's above 3F or so, and it's far from it. Hence the very different colour, and the lack of contrast between t

Standard in France and Belgium as well. I have never liked Tropicana or Minute Maid, but about... 30 years ago? We used to have a brand called Fruvita that actually tasted good but it got bought by Tropicana, the taste changed, and we just

Weird, I'm French and most people I know are rather delighted to hear foreigners speak French. We have quite a few English pensioners living around where my family lives, and I live myself along the Flanders/Wallonia border in Bel

Wouldn't that just be Linux with Wine? It would be less effort to implement further APIs/fix incompatibilities on Wine rather than reimplement a new OS from scratch.

Polyembryony is the reverse of what you think: one embryo is a result of pollination and all the others are clones. The sexual reproduction embryo is often less vigorous and sometimes doesn't develop at all. It makes it easy to reprodu

And both have a similarly executive-centric form of government where the president and the majority party hold a disproportionate amount of power. Although the US is even worse than France on this regard as far as I know. I think it makes s

A more accurate, 3D mapped street view could probably allow GPS-less geolocation and could also help autonomous vehicles as they would get more information than what they can immediately see. I could see well-mapped street view with good se

by seszett 8mo ago
These days what people receive of the US influence is mostly interference in politics to favour the far-right, military threats and economic war through tariffs. As well as just random verbal attacks on local politicians on local matters. I

If part of it is sold, isn't it better than if it had all been destroyed? It's literally what that law is for.

Interesting, my two ISPs (one in Belgium, one in France, not business ISPs) hand out fixed /48 blocks to every customer. As far as I know, that's what RIPE recommends, they actively discourage from assigning longer prefixes than &

Honestly it's not free but it's really not that expensive. With RIPE it's about 75€ per year for the ASN and being multihomed is not really a problem, there are multiple services that will let you announce through them for fr

There's nothing ironic, as since the GP said there is no risk associated with GitHub. Git fundamentally prevents vendor lock-in and tampering, and the project is open, so the US have no leverage and pose no threat at all here.

That's because "AI" is a bunch of unrelated stuff that happens to use LLMs. Maybe you don't agree that machine translation using a large language model is AI, but other people do.

My experience, I sometimes buy gold coins to make jewelry. I do that because at least here in Belgium, there's no VAT on coins but there is VAT on the other forms of gold that are more commonly used for that. For professionals it'

I also wonder what those people have been doing all this time... I also have been mostly working as a developer for about 20 years and I don't think much has changed at all. I also don't feel less productive or lacking in anything
