I've been using ETP plus adblock-rs in Waterfox for 2 weeks. I don't see much a difference compared to ETP + ublock origin apart from some cosmetic filtering. The fact that it's no…

> Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with Wait, no! This is the most complicated one, fortunately it's scarcely appears. In canoë, the ë is pronounced as an é. In Noël, i…

You never opened a README.md that contained links in something else than a browser?

There exists winden.app which is a magic wormhole webapp. They use their own mailbox and relay so you need to use the right options in the wormhole CLI.

Quo Vadis is french and in fact now belongs to the Clairefontaine group, just like Rhodia.

> last time I checked the record was 80 qubits It has progressed since: IBM Condor (demonstrated in december 2023) has 1121 qubits.

Is this move the reason for the random 403 errors I get from the tumblr rss feeds I follow? Since a few weeks ago, some feeds are disappearing then reappearing, sometimes they are …

You do not need a different algorithm for each real. Just take the algorithm that proves the statement for rational p. It proves the statement for all reals bigger than p. (hence h…

Well you cannot really do without leap years, but what you propose looks a lot like the pataphysical calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Pataphysics#Pataphysical_ca... 13 mo…

There are in fact 3 universities in Toulouse: Toulouse I-Capitole, Toulouse Jean Jaurès (used to be Toulouse II-Le Mirail), and Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier. And since it would be ab…

In french, it is "vecteur propre" (which has the same meaning).

Also happy with miniflux. On android, I use Fluent Reader to sync: https://hyliu.me/fluent-reader-lite/

It fetches data from the public APIs of openlibrary.org and inventaire.io. From my point of view, inventaire is really great as it synchronizes with wikidata and is far better at n…

IBM has been doing it for years: they sell you a multi-core machine but you only can use 1 core. You can pay to use more than one as you need: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9?to…

> EDIT: The covers of some modern french translations are also incredible. Just the four letters D U N E, which are exactly the same shape but rotated 90 degrees. It's an incredibl…

I thought 11 years ago that e-ink with good refresh was achieved, seeing bookeen's prototype display videos and full screen scrolling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24srQXX81Oc h…

I tried trillium and found it interesting but a little difficult to use (I prefer markdown to their editor). Then I tried editing on mobile and it really was awful. It was mostly i…

So it is far more expensive than the similar bookeen notéa and kobo elipsa which cost 400€.

Let me add yet another reference: Robert Merle's "the day of the dolphin" (un animal doué de raison) published in 1967 (so the navy began training dolphins and sea lions while read…

To be fair, Google Maps is also stupid: I once planned in advance and saved a trip with intermediary steps ending at what it calls "Domicile" (its way of saying Home in french). Th…

> Nestle products are titled under 2000 different brand names. For instance, [...] maybeline makeup brands Isn't Maybelline a subsidiary of L'oréal rather than Nestlé?

Nice. It seems like magic, but it is possible to entirely outsource the infobox to wikidata. See for example https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mart%C3%ADn_Abadi whose infobox is create…
