And all the doom games.

In theory. It’s just standard contract law. You violate the contract, so you have to make the other party right.

In practice, the court is likely to go, “You should’ve hired someone else to do the work. No costs”

No, not at all.

If the company fire you they have to pay you, e.g., three months notice, regardless of if they want you to do the work or not.

If you quit without notice, you might have to pay the costs incurred by you quitting early, but that’s not your salary -because they now wouldn’t be paying you.

Costs might be something like the company having to refuse an order because they now don’t have enough people to do the work, or the increased cost of an expedited hiring process.

I don’t know how common costs are in France, but the UK has the same rules and essentially no one ever claims costs. You need to really fuck over your employee in a very explicit and well documented way for this to even be considered.

The main disadvantage is you will have a bad reference if you leave without notice.

If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?

A relationship graph which requires no gay relationships is called a bigraph (honest, I’m not making this up) or bipartite.

That follows because if you can two color the graph so that edges only connect different colors, you just assign male to one color and female to the other.

This means there’s a tone of mathematical identities describing this. Wikipedia has a good introduction.

I mean if it was a realistic list around 4 (not sure how many were actually released) of the top ten would be fantastic four films.

This is just a list of “superhero films everyone has seen that were kinda mid”. I want a list of the films that were so bad I’ve not heard of them, because they crashed and burned so spectacularly.

I just went looking for this. Here’s a link to the podcast for everyone else: https://pca.st/episode/b8388458-0062-47c5-a259-fae295a45305

I remember playing Max Payne. There was some battle in a bar against a guy with a shotgun. If you timed it right between reloads you could run up to the guy, stand on the bar so your guns were exactly level with his face and empty two Uzi clips point blank into his face before he could reload.

Then you would run out of ammo and he would one shot kill you.

It really comes down to what you’re used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don’t know the tools that haven’t been ported there.

For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.

The big obvious thing that you can’t get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.

In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there’s workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t need to care about, but I’d rather not bother.

I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn’t choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.

I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.

If I wanted more effort I’d still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there’s value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.

Fine for me on 0.2.0.

Although it’s federated nature is kinda dying.

If you’re not on one of the major providers good luck getting people to see your email.

I’m still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.

Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

It just says can be activated. Not “automatically activates”.

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it’s just theatre.

The app phones home to access recipes.

Maybe it works without access to the server, but maybe it just refuses to do anything.

It’s all pure CEO bullshit though, and none of it is real.

It doesn’t cost money to send a Bluetooth signal from your phone to a sous vide. Maybe the WiFi server costs money but it’s their own fault for adding stupid functionality that phones home.

I’ve got one of these and I’m prepared to bet money that almost all of their server costs come down to every recipe in the app just being a link to a web page with lots of photos. https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/

(Swiss)Germans are completely mad about food.

It’s their culture to complain about everything, except food. All they care about is that it’s as bland as possible and has big portions. If you manage that, they’ll give you five stars every time.

I spent 3 years living in Germany, and not only can you not get anything spicy for love nor money, they also don’t use herbs. It just blows my mind. They’re physically so close to France and Italy, but the food is so far away.

One of the important things in many kinds of meditation is it’s not about stopping the bees, but noticing them.

I remember hearing about some Buddhist monk who was famed for his meditation. Someone asked him how long he could sit before his mind wandered “oh about seven seconds normally”. He just got very good at noticing when his mind wandered and trying again.

Yeah anything responsible that reports and corrects mistakes made in past reporting gets a low score for factual accuracy, when these should be getting the highest scores.

It’s completely backwards.

Lots of people still split latex documents into one section per file, because subversion used file locks and we only knew how one person could edit a file at a time.
