After having raised hopes of democracy in part of the Afghan population, the United States opens the door to the Taliban. Even the "democrats" will hate the US. This disaster is not a surprise: it was announced. I don't have

Degrading safety is a very plausible explanation. Another one is that they know exactly what went wrong and they cover for each other because the mistake is so ridiculous that it would tarnish their reputation.

Thank you for this comment. Now, I know, I do not need to learn SAML. I will wait for the next technology. It reminds me how SOAP has been superseded by JSON.

I do not see it like this. I will not suggest this is the proper way to do a big web application. Similarly, bash is not the proper language to use for a serious software but for very small tasks, bash may be enough. Similarly, when you bui

I can easily stay 15 minutes in a hammam. That is > 40°C and > 95% humidity. I think I have sometimes reached 30 minutes

strace is a tool that would have identified the origin of the problem (a permission problem) without the need to grope. The small script to isolate the issue is a good strategy that has the additional benefit to help convincing other people

The separation between a heavy flight and a small one is 120s. There are many studies to take into account wind (speed and direction) and to have finer table of spacing (often around 85s) taking into account both aircraft types. Near the ru

Sometimes, just a story is enough. I read about a father who drove over his child while backing up. He thought his child was under his wife's supervision. Since then, all my cars have the rear view camera.

There was a lot of mental manipulation to scapegoat the Jews for everything, to make them be seen as animals and not humans. I think reading this paper can help to better identify how the media tries to manipulate us.

There are studies. Killing some species of mosquitoes may be entirely beneficial. But if this happens to succeed, what will be next ? Will we use this technology to eradicate another specie and discover too late that this one was very impor

I do not think the economic effect is big enough to be proved, but I think there is a political virtue in reducing the opposition between the richest and the poorest. For me, it is not economy, but mind manipulation.

I have not seen comments about technical debt. I think you are right: It is good to take shortcuts to ship faster. When you do that, you accumulate technical debt. I think it is important to identify it and to remain aware of this debt. I&#

La Hague used to dump small quantities of radioactive liquid (mainly water used to clean barrels that contained weakly radioactiv waste) in Nort Sea. When I left (in 1999), the project to completely stop this dump was well advanced. The ide
