I don't know why you're being downvoted, what you are saying rings true. I spoke today with my rehabilitation practitioner and even her, as a super Olympics fan who is glad the event happens in her country, find strange the games

Try searching for EFEO (École française d'extrême Orient) transcriptions instead. That system was made for French sprakers and the resulting pronunciation should be somewhat understandable by a native. I wish that system would have bee

Except for obvious cases I go for the French or Alsatian pronunciation and let the person correct me. This is what English speakers are doing too after all. Conversely I don't take it personally when people mispronounce my names (give

Yeah, I was kind of blueballed by the page. Maybe the author expected pull requests for other languages?

Having VS 2019 (which is free as Community Edition) is not a really high requirement, it's probably already installed by any developer developing on one of the MS stack.

No. Python is a language I have to use infrequently, but I give up half of the time using a project found on GitHub because of missing depencies, the need to install a package manager to install another package manager to install dependenci

Physics lessons are taught in French in France+... It's not because a programming language is not very popular that it shouldn't be used for a tutorial; on the contrary it can help building the network effort most of them rely on.

Yes, and the biggest proof of this is hospitals will soon impose the sanitary pass (from 1st August). If the pass was really about public health of the population, hospitals would be the last place to be restricted.

The fact you can install Linux doesn't mean a government won't force you to use another OS by other mean. Looking at the current news in France which is nominally a democracy, that could include forcing one to take unpaid work lea

Of course a minority is going to be "under-represented" if it had no interest in joining the sector. I bet people making those policies never spoke about software with a lambda woman. I did, and I will tell you my experience. I wa

Exactly. I've argued on social media with "trust the science" people: none of them were scientists while I am one. People in general have no idea how the sausage is made and how broken the system is. A year or more ago I was

Linux on the desktop (where portability of file system matters) is 2% at the very best. Hardly what one would call "widely used".

Doesn't work very well if at all. I tried two times a very simple Chinese character (木) and it was never in the result list. Edit: didn't work with a very simple cuneiform character either.

Did the book address the topic of rapes by US soldiers? This was a big issue after liberation, and still is a major issue near US bases nowadays (in particular Okinawa).

Microsoft can ban your Microsoft account arbitrarily so GP is right, you don't own your data anymore and Microsoft can keep it and forbid you access, regardless of encryption or not.
