Yeah there’s no confusion in French because “étage” literally means “floor above ground”, so calling the ground floor an “étage” makes no sense. It’s called “rez-de-chaussée” (“at street level”) or RDC for short. Same as “sous-sol” (“under-ground”).

Man I love my Firefox/Gnome/Wayland/GNU/systemd/Linux/GRUB operating system!
Debian has had MATE since forever. It’s as simple as typing
sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment
Honestly you don’t even need Ubuntu if you absolutely need snaps. You can install snapd on a lot of apt distros, or you can spin an Ubuntu container in Distrobox in a few seconds.
And that’s why we’re moving away from coding games where I work. Bad people try to cheat, good people can panic and shit the bed.
When I do interviews, I’m more interested in the candidate’s relevant experience, what kind of issues they faced, how they were solved, if they think they could have done things differently, and how they think. Code itself is irrelevant unless I can review a sprint’s worth of PRs.
When I ask more technical questions, I never ask for code but for an explanation on how they would tackle the problem. For example, I often ask about finding a simple solution to get all data relevant to a certain date in two, simple, historized tables. If you know window functions, it’s trivial. If you don’t, your solution will be slow and dirty and painful. But as most devs don’t know about window functions anyway, it lets me see how they approach the issue and if they understand what parts should have a trivial solution to make it simple.
I fuckin love vinyls, they’re beautiful, fragile, tangible, massive objects, but this is bullshit propagated by audiophile circle jerk who believe they need to break-in their $100000 solid gold oxygen-free gluten-free audio cables to properly align electrons.
Well, it’s simple.
Solomon Epstein discovered a way to make fusion drives orders of magnitude more efficient. Unfortunately, he grossly underestimated how much more powerful his new drive would be, and died testing it while sustaining more than 11G for 37h, yeeting his own corpse in deep interstellar space.
Fortunately, his files were recovered by his widow, who sold them to the secessionist Martian Colony government, who in turn sold them to the UN in exchange for independence. Earth and Mars developed the engine design so ships could move much farther and quicker than had been possible before, enabling a new gold rush in the outer Solar system and especially the Belt.
And that’s why the Epstein Files were so important.
Why? They’re married, they’re supposed to, you know, talk to each other. Communicate. Coordinate their actions. You know, like, a functional couple.
I mean, nobody knows except these two if something critical was actually shared, but a coordinated statement is the least sus part of the story.
Here in the EU there are a few companies selling rebranded Tongfang or Clevo barebones without an OS. Some are Linux-oriented like Tuxedo, Slimbook or LaptopmetLinux, some are general-purpose or gaming oriented like Schenker/XMG.
Slimbook Elemental 14 start at around 600€, Tuxedo Aura 14 starts at around 840€ for what looks to be the same SKU but a bit more storage.
Where are you located and what’s your budget ? It might help point you in the right direction.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Daddy’s apartheid emerald mines money and megalomania got him there. He didn’t invent anything, he’s just a glorified investor. All of ‘his’ successful companies are other, smarter people’s ideas he ‘stole’ by forcing them to make him ‘co-creator’ as a requirement to invest his cash.
It’s all about pushing a narrative. If he did it the ‘normal way’, he would probably be seen as a decent VC, known in some business circles but in the shadow from a general audience perspective. By making himself the ‘co-creator’, he deperately tries to makes us think he’s the genius he believes he is, and gain the power and influence that come with it.
There are positions in all these companies where people are working roud the clock to prevent him from fucking everything up. And sometimes, even they can’t prevent idiotic bullshit like the Cybertruck. Tesla and SpaceX work because they actively spend a massive amount of energy to work against his moronic ideas. Twitter is the best example of what happens when he’s given free rein.
PETG is almost the same material water bottles are made from. I’ve made a soap holder that gets, by definition, constantly wet in PETG and it’s absolutely fine.
Dude I’ve been rocking a dna75c Odin mod for a few years, it’s indestructible and has the most reliable chipset I’ve ever used in the 13+ years I’ve been vaping (most other mods I’ve had had died in less than a year). But it’s massive, heavy and lacks a kill switch (like most mods) so tends to misfire if placed wrong in my pocket. I actually started to design a more compact 3D printed mod a few weeks ago that would be built around a dna75c or 100c.
I was also thinking going boro for the small form factor but no decent dna designs seem to exist.
The problem is in the spaces I don’t control. My wife is messy, my infant daughter even worse 😓
Id like to see the study ;)
The problem with my vape is not memory loss, I have a reasonably good memory, it’s that it’s too big and heavy to be comfortably carried in my pocket like my phone, so I have to carry it by hand from place to place and when I get distracted, that’s when things disappear.
I have no idea. Why? To control anger?
Ok the trick seems to be able to realize I’ve absentmindedly put something down to do something else and catch myself before I forget. I’m gonna try and consciously paying attention to it.
Do you know someone willing to share his MyCanal account? That’s what I do because I still want to watch F1 but I’m not giving a cent to those fascists at bolloré.
