I never saw those piracy messages in my country but I still remember 'the It crowd''s version of it: https://youtu.be/ALZZx1xmAzg?feature=shared

I really like the MathMajor channel too but for the moment it's very Abstract Algebra centric. For those of you who speak French I can also recommend https://m.youtube.com/@MathsAd…

None that you know of.

You don't have to put all the tables in a single monstrous diagram. Tools will probably generate those but I usually provides several simpler ones in the documentation offering sev…

I'm looking for a robust archive file format for long term storage. My first thought was PAR2, I was using Quick Par back in the days. But it seems there's not much activity on the…

I believe it's for node-gyp and the build system for native modules.

Never managed to run VirtualBox, Docker, Android emulator and Hyper-V at the same time. So I stick to MSYS2 and a Centos virtualbox machine that also runs my docker containers.

I can see an additional mental state that will trigger this non compliant behavior: depression with suicidal tendencies. Here you're not compliant not because you want to hurt othe…

I wonder what is shown when you're living inside one of those 'disputed' locations.

Technological progress? Might be. Social regression, Police state, sure 100% Don't count on me to be part of this. I'll give the finger to every company who offers me to be part of…
