  • Les cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n’ont pas besoin d’infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.

    Mais parce qu’ils n’ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler “pas dignés”.

    Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. Il y a pas l’espace dans les trains, c’est la realite economique.




  • The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

    If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

    Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.



  • Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the “old .NET” world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.

    Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.

    So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.







  • I feel you. What helped me was learning about growth mindset and fixed mindset. It doesn’t magically cure it, but it does help to know why you feel that way and how untrue that reason is.

    I didn’t read the whole book of course, but there’s tons of exec summaries and short talks on it that can help to understand it.

    Yes I thought the same. Except for coconut.

    Coconut “oil” is a fat if you’re using the regular definition of room temperature. It’s solid at room temperature and has high saturated fat content (>90%), even worse than dairy (~60-70%). I know there are some other aspects to it that makes people enthusiastic but I don’t think there is any solid evidence that those aspects compensate the huge amount of saturated fat.

    You should get about 2x more unsaturated than saturated fats. So dairy, pork and coconut fat should not be a large part of the fat in your diet.

    Indeed, olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil and basically every oil except coconut has more unsaturated than saturated fat and will help you balance your fat types.

  • I um… didn’t get started yet. But a colleague demoed it to my and it’s kind of between virtual environments and containers, if you’re familiar with Python.

    You write a Nix config and specify exactly which versions of which package you want to have. Reproducibility is the main selling point of Nix. Things don’t just break overnight because a dependency of a dependency of a dependency got upgraded. You can always go back to exactly what it was like before. Guaranteed. That’s pretty cool.

    Ok so you got that config, then you build and activate it, and it replaces your shell. You enter the Nix shell. You still have access to all your files and directories, but your Nix config controls exactly which versions of your tools you have. gcc, npm, python, maven, whatever you use.

    You can see why this makes people want to build an immutable OS.

    The main drawback of Nix is that it has a bit of a learning curve. Hence why I haven’t started yet. Maybe it’s time though.
