Courant d'air 🍃

Just made the transition, couldn’t be easier. Export, import, profit

Love letter really is the best, I bring it everywhere I go

I’d say as many as in other countries

La main droite, c’est celle qui a le pouce à gauche

Not for screwing/unscrewing but in France we have a satire mnemonic for remembering right and left:

The right hand is the one with the thumb pointing left.

Works only if you look at the back of your hands, and obviously not useful. We use it mainly to mock someone who mix right and left

Good read, I think the practical example of enshittification makes it easier to understand.

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

They are cut in little cubes, along with bacon, duck breast and a fried egg. It is indeed unique and delicious

On of my local pizzerias has one with apple and it’s actually one of my favorite!

But my number one is the “indian”, which is basically chicken, curry, pineapple and raisin

Let’s go. In and out. Eight day adventure.

Not everybody, usually RTTs depend on how much overtime is planned in your contract (eg. most engineers work 37.5h instead of 35h, so they get 1 RTT each 3 weeks). Many people don’t have any RTT

Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

Nope, France is 5 minimum, each company can add as much as they want but the law is 5 minimum.

I agree on all the good work of previous generations to earn us these though.

What’s the name of your employer again?

Seriously, those are really good conditions, I’m glad you are aware of that.

Is that really a thing? I’ve seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works…

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company’s trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn’t it?

Edit: I’m European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

Second that, same plan for 2 years and very happy with it. I only host a VPN though

I tend to disagree.

Even with same weight/same tires/same everything, different teams will use different algorithms to control the car and to take decisions. There are a thousand ways to make a car follow an “optimal” path and I doubt everyone will use the same, and even if they do every team will have their own implementation which will lead to small differences.

Adding to that all the uncertainties brought by measurements of the outside world (correctly estimating where are the car and the other cars) and the possible interference between the different car’s sensors (if they run all at once like in real F1), we would certainly have surprises. Controlling a real car is not the same as controlling an AI in a video game, a lot of mistakes can be done.

A Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen should be enough, I can’t think of a cheaper alternative

I’d say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it’s still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it’s a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.
