I quite like the architecture, but I think it's all form and fails badly on the function part :)

It has already been closed for works for more than 2 years from 1997 to 2000, at a large cost of 88 millions €.

Crazy, it was opened in 1977, already closed for a couple of years (1997 to 2000) for maintenance and rebuild, and after 20 more years it requires yet again 5 years of work? That's really a terrible building.

It was in 2016 so I mercifully forgot the details, it's a set of standards for data archival and document classification. There are some compliances rules for security in the mix (people should require proper authorisations to access d

I can elaborate with a very precise example. Of course standards are fine and important. But the amount of red tape they require is mind-boggling. I know of a small company who invested about 1 million € to build their software; they then t

No, the EU is entirely sold to big corp. US big corps are doing fine, thank you, but small EU companies can go to hell. I'm developing software in a French 10 people shop, do you think we have any resources to spend on standards, and a

The right to glean dates back to Antiquity, and is explicitly allowed in France since the Middle Ages. Basically after the harvest, some grain and small batches of straw will always remain, and are explicitly allowed to be gleaned by anyone

It looks almost exactly like the dystopian, brain-sucking, ad-laden television from "Idiocracy". What a sick world we're living in.

XFS is incredibly robust. I manage many petabytes of XFS machines. Some have XFS volumes in the 2 PiB range. And it's also extremely fast. And I remember when I created my first folder with several billion files and it just worked :)

Beta-blockers give me tinnitus. Unfortunately you can't choose not to take them when it's convenient...

Maybe something like that could help if you still have time to set it up: https://internet-in-a-box.org/

Oh I don't look at the keys, but first it's ugly, and second at some point there will be holes in the key caps :)

The (quite cheap) Lenovo Ideapads are quite good. I've upgraded my S540 with 32 GB of RAM (instead of the base 8) myself, it can receive a second M.2 SSD, and the first one is also upgradeable. The only small problem is with the keyboa

From your source: in 2022, 4.1GW of nuclear power provided 34.7 TWh (theoretical maximum : 35.9 TWh, load over 90%), while 37.9GW of coal provided 183 TWh (less than 60% load : burning coal is expensive). In 2002, still according to your o

As I'm happy with my 2020 S540 Ideapad, I've bought my wife the current model (IdeaPad 5 14ALC05) (which is a huge upgrade BTW) and installed Pop_OS on it, like mine. Everything just works. At times when getting out of sleep it r

Nuclear plants can run at nearly 100% capacity all the time, while burning more coal gets more expensive. You can't simply compare raw theoretical power. Else Germany would already be 100% on renewables. You're looking for excuses

According to various articles, coal is causing more than 20 000 to per year in Europe. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Report-Fi... https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals&

If Germany had kept all its nukes running in the past 20 years, it would be 100% coal-free RIGHT NOW. It would have saved literally MILLIONS OF LIVES. There is absolutely no possible excuse for this.

If Germany had kept its nuclear plants available in 2003 today (which was completely feasible), it would be 100% coal-free TODAY. Imagine that. There is zero excuse. Any ton of CO2 emitted is a problem.

I have a 40 years old billy, the shelves are made of solid wood! IKEA quality has been dwindling for decades.

This is a 4:3 video. Why stretch it into 16:9 ? That's a throwback to the early 2000s when everyone was buying 16:9 TVs to watch stretched 4:3 sources. Drives me crazy, really.

Usually the fuse box is accessible right under the dashboard. Remove the ignition fuse and keep it in your wallet, and the car won't start, without any clear message about what's wrong (most of the time).

This is clearly not at all the same class as the Independence, the Cleveland isn't a trimaran. But the obvious loss of competence is quite sobering.

Perl offer auto looping : perl -n or perl -p. Typically one-liners are `perl -n -e 's/foo/bar/g'` or similar.

In French, starboard and port are "tribord" (same etymology as "starboard", through Dutch) and "bâbord" ("back (of the oarman) board"). On stage, they are "côté cour" and "côté jardin&q

What do you mean? "Semantic web" has been around since XML was touted as the data silver bullet, promising structured and semantically organised data 25 years ago. Countless startups tried : XML databases, digital asset management

Actually I know a guy who've been working on semantic web for like two decades and his project is finally gaining some traction right now precisely because he can now leverage AI to sort it out and turbocharge his application.

It's in developer mode, but the MMC is probably dead : the restoration fails with some "unknown error". I could give the Gallium OS fixflag recovery a try, though! I don't really care about the internal drive; I could pr

Sadly I've procrastinated to do that, then suddenly the internal storage of my Chromebook died, and now it's stuck in endless "ChromeOS missing" without any way to flash it with something else.

I've bought my wife a Lenovo Ideapad. First boot into BIOS, deactivate UEFI secure boot. Second boot into Linux (Pop_OS). Works really great. Didn't bother with the Microsoft crap for 20 years. Didn't even try to boot Windows
