This is kind of what Django does instead and I much prefer the Rails way. Though it might just be because I started MVC-dev with Rails. I think I find it easier to find common abst…

We keep finding new ways to make fission safer and reducing risk of runaway scenario but I'm pretty sure we'll never reach zero risk. Sure we might reach it on paper but human erro…

I'm of the mind that randomness is only an approximation of complexity, if you're omniscient then randomness doesn't exist and everything is deterministic. However it seems to me t…

Do you grow your own food ? Where does your zero trust end ? Science is very difficult to cheat on such high visibility issues. There is a huge scientific consensus on climate chan…

Your blogpost might benefit from explaining further the following line: "Special relativity says that the rocket has a different coordinate frame than the space stations. In partic…

Exactly ! Why don't we suppose traveling/observing through the wormhole has the same time dilation ? I've heard of FTL=time-travel a couple of years ago for the first time and I wo…

Looks like the first tidal power plant was built in 1966 in Brittany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rance_Tidal_Power_Station . It was also the largest for 45 years until a bigger …

Perhaps like democracy it is the least bad option.

Thanks for the link, at the very least Jeff Kreeftmeijer in 2010 already used the name git-flow for that specific model. I somehow missed all of that. Plus nvie.com updated its 10-…

Are people really calling this specific model of git branching THE Gitflow model ? For me this was a gitflow amongst others, a gitflow being a git workflow. In the original article…

> There’s absolutely no use case out there, where I search for something, and then I say, hey, I believe my search result will be item #3175 in the current sort order. I actually h…

ainiriand said 'stop in safety conditions' which is also the law in France. The problem is proving you couldn't stop in safety conditions when you receive the fine. > Article R412-…

> if the employee responsible for firing the moderator did such acts repeatedly despite management warnings than perhaps it's a good idea to fire that person > There are some peopl…

One of my latest questions got as first comment : "Please use English punctuation when writing in English." Certainly polite but a bit jarring as a non-native speaker that feels fl…

I see firing in such a case as a cop-out, a cowardly way to appease mob-mentality. In this case if the employee responsible for firing the moderator did such acts repeatedly despit…

The way I see it everyone should have some sort of personal data broker (maybe as a browser extension ?). Your data broker has all of your personal information and keeps it safe fo…

Your 61.85% seems pretty weird. If you look at the same site they point to 37% in the US instead of your 22% ( https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/personal-income-t... ) and…

Thanks for this. I was curious about the details and the podcast (I read the transcript) explains all of it. I was wondering how they made so much money and why it doesn't happen a…

The linked blog post https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-product-raspberry-pi-3-... has more info and is interesting. In it they say "Back in March, we explained that the 3+ platf…

Right, so free means you are bootstrapped or VC-funded and later on... your users are the product ? I can understand not wanting to communicate on a business model that isn't ready…

That's actually how I found out my Lenovo was doing MITM a few days before the whole Superfish debacle exploded on the net. I went on Bitbucket (I think) and noticed something seem…

> The Jupyter notebooks are version controlled like my .py modules. That's interesting, could you give us some more details ? Last time I tried to put a Jupyter notebook under git …

If you prefer a one-liner like me, the following line works for me: VARPWD=P@ssw0rd; HASH=`echo -n $VARPWD | sha1sum`; curl --silent https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/`cut -b 1-…

Yes to me it doesn't any more realistic than Bob Lazar's story that he quotes, just more convoluted. My understanding of a warp drive (Alcubierre drive) is that it contracts space …
