I removed GA from all my websites a few months ago. It didn't provide any interesting information anyway. I actually get better data with Webalizer and a couple of custom scripts.

NewPipe on Android, uBlock Origin on the computer and all is fine. I use Youtube as little as possible, unfortunately it's a de facto monopoly.

That's perfectly fine, let's build durable goods. I still have some tableware from my great-grandmother, more than 100 years old. It works just as well as new plates and forks. But more than that, we won't have the choice. T

I use X11 remotely daily (and did so for 25 years). It comes for free with a simple ssh login and doesn't require setting up any server on the remote machine. It just works (even if slowly at times). It beats setting up x2go/VNC&#

And among those with a 5.1 setup, most have the speakers placed haphazardly around the room and not at all as required for a correct rendering.

"Pina"[1] by Wim Wenders (2011). It's special because IMO it's one of those very rare 3D movies that really was thought out and precisely tailored for its medium, 3D cinema. It must be seen in 3D, in a theatre, to get it

It may be innocent, but also don't forget that many people don't waste any occasion to make others feel the weight of whatever little ounce of power they have.

The Mac G4 was the first desktop computer with gigabit ethernet as a standard. It was still pretty rare back then, even on servers and workstations.

In fact it's the opposite: I'm a staunch intellectual, snob Frenchman. I can't stand brain-damaged Hollywood entertainment (I'd rather stand 2 hours under the rain than watching any Avengers movie). The cultural gap ma

Try Pierrot le fou , Contempt , Alphaville ... However Breathless is (one of?) the easiest of Godard's movies. Notice that you're supposed to suffer to watch many of his movies. It's part of the experience, to prove th

I don't know if they're still running but in 2015 I took the hydrofoil from Vienna to Bratislava on the Danube. It was really cool. The folding tablets were big metal chunks, everything was screaming "Soviet technology that w

I think that 'perl -d' needs to have Term::Readline to be installed to provide line editing. Otherwise you could use DDD, which provides an ugly but functional GUI to gdb, and perl -d. Or ptkdb which is better IMO ('perl -d p

It's markedly easier than with Python, though. Here's a short script that will recode a file with mixed iso-8859-1 and utf8 data into proper utf8: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use

China is currently building more than 20 nuclear reactors IIRC. They're building them at an incredible clip, faster (like 3 years) than anyone else in the past.

More practical, the famous magician J.E. Robert-Houdin invented a "lighter alarm clock" ( réveil-briquet ) in 1837 that sold pretty well and made him rich and allowed him to develop his "magical" tricks (many based upon
