Scales are the set of notes you can play during the song that will sound ok to the ear. On a song in C major (or A minor), you can play any white key. Chords are sections based around a note. The notes played during a chord give mood and co

Germany mix is still very dirty compared to some neighbors[0], it’s a fact that they chose politics over CO2 reduction (choosing to close all nuclear power plants overnight as a reaction to fukushima when the renewable capacity was not ther

This is because a lot of French households use electrical heating (because it was encouraged by the government to use the huge sovereign electrical capacity), so cold put a huge stress on the grid. This is not related to nuclear power per

For me it's kind of the opposite, the current state of front-end is clearly the result of bored overqualified CS graduates in overstaffed companies. I keep my sanity by working with people with a design background when doing front-end

Doge inflation is very high by design (because remember it was a joke), at 1$ more than 14 millions $ have to be poured by day just to maintain the price.

It's conservative only if you think of this ongoing extreme financialization of everything as progress.

You touch on something that for me is the real issue: there is only one level of complexity today: maximum. Building a blog, a news website, a niche web app, or the new Facebook, it nearly doesn't matter, you must use the latest state

High contrast is harsh on the eyes. Black on white is very tiresome for me, and can become harder to read at the end of the day. I always set the background of my text editors to dark grey.

Maybe we could have it only in some situations? I drive regularly in the backcountry and small villages in France and I feel there is no way autonomous driving is possible without AGI. Custom signs, roads too narrow for certains vehicles, f

I think it’s general anxiety from the accumulated “thinking fatigue” during the day. There is a correlation with periods where I lacked a clear plan and spent too much time of the day in my thought planning the future. The process at sleep

I’m glad if you feel better know. It’s interesting to know oneself because I have exactly the opposite experience. The more the day pass the more I am stressed, with sometimes panic attacks before sleep. I feel refreshed in the morning, the

The problem is what is illegal then? Numbers? Cryptography? Because nobody buy sell or own crypto technically, there just happen to be transactions on a distributed network, with some people knowing private keys to generate new transactions

I think this is due to the kind of corporate take over of Open source, without judging if this is a bad thing or not. The whole Github/MIT licence scene simply did not exist back in the days, it was either closed source or GPL. It&#x27

The way people “invest” in the stock market nowadays is no different. Long gone are the days of buying a share for dividends and voting power. People now are just betting on what they will be able to dump the bags at the time of their reti

From what I remember Apple had the philosophy caring about their customer, which in 2021 encompass security and data protection. But it's unrelated to banning apps and freedom of speech. They are compliant with local regulations the sa

Having the power to bully does not justify bullying. They could negotiate the contract differently. Taking credit for something they didn't do is fraud, no matter how the market tolerates it.

Thanks for bringing that up. It was very obvious last year and is now that the election period is over. While the issues are real, the correlation between geopolitical consideration du jour and the media putting the spotlight on democracy i

Another great opportunity to question the global supply chain that is not sustainable anyway. I understand it disrupts critical industries, but the impact on consumer over consumption of crap is a blessing.

Church is far from being the biggest offender in France for jobs close to children, there is a whole generation of public educators that were openly for it (for some overlapping with your first point like Cohn-Bendit).

It's curious because I find it the other way. Every time I read something on WFH it's critical of it, along the refrain "it's not possible for everyone", case in point. In the real world WFH (for compatible position
