Source for the "5%"?

Just like return-to-office is there to maintain real estate value.

Is it the podcast "Feeling of computing" on Spotify?

Opening Eye of the Beholder II save files and moving items in your inventory to detect the hex code.

Then trying other random codes and finding stuff in your inventory like animal carcass

How is it more expensive?

Because it cost more to check that my CC wasn't stolen when I buy NSFW?

Or because there are more chargeback?

How can there be a lawsuit?

Pffft, nonsense, the only way is the French (as in language) way, just call it alu.

Why use many syllable when few do trick?

The strangest thing is happening at my drive through, the voice sounds to be of an older woman and when I get to the window, there aren't any woman working in the restaurant.

There are many non native worker in this restaurant with a distinctive accent but this "old woman" has a local accent.

It's not an ai voice so my guess is that she's somewhere else (at home?) and only handling the drive trough requests.

Remind me of a forum a long time ago that sent me my password in clear when I used the "forgot password" link.

When I advised them that it was a bad idea to store password in clear, they answered that they keep it in clear so that they can send it when someone forget.

Defeated by such argument, I deleted my account.

Well I stand corrected.

I thought that the fingerprints/iris in twins where identical like the DNA.

How do they handle twins?

Nothing beats a 40 year nostalgia in the morning!

Except missing that sock and falling down into the dog's path and understanding the concept of fighting like cats and dogs.

I just found out that the theme song is on Wikipedia.

And the massive irony that it the clothing brand "Obey".

And in the French dubbed version, it's 2.21 gigowatt

Don't need a VPN for that, a fake moustache is enough. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48018080

In Québec every station must report price change within 5 minutes and we have access to a map https://regieessencequebec.ca/

For now data can only be exported as xlsx but with the open data orientation of Québec's government, I guess it will be available soon

I'm using flutter and had to download xcode to build the app so I guess it's a necessary step.

Isn't it also cause they want to tag those commit so that they don't feed it into copilot training?

Rumor has it that some adults video are filmed in a taxi so I guess it figures.

I've been able to have deepseek give me an unofficial account of what happened on Tiananmen square in 1989.

It even went as far as confirming that we should always base our opinion on multiple sources, not just the government.

We should create badges like "script kiddie", "llm hacker", "grandpa's printer adjuster"

I guess the tax data can provide some insight but do we trust the current administration's reports?

Unless you've thrown everything away, your side project isn't abandoned, it's reprioritized.

I need clarifications.

I see docker as a way to avoid having a standard dev platform for everyone in the company so that the infra team don't have to worry about patch xyz for library abc, only run docker.

But, with all the effort put in place to coordinate docker, k8s and all the shebang, isn't it finally easier to force a platform and let it slowly evolve over time?

Is docker another technical tool that tries to solve a non-technical problem?

Or supposedly you could shake a strainer in front of your eyes.

Still supposedly, the hardest part was finding the strainer in the kitchen without waking everyone in the house.

And the saddest part was discovering that it didn't work.

Well, in Quebec, the driver's insurance agency (SAAQ) decided to go with SAP and the major bosses were fired.

The cost of the migration was supposed to be 500millions $ and it's now estimated at 1.1 billion $.

But, they weren't fired because of SAP, they were fired because they lied to the government about the true cost.

> it's pretty old.

Damn, must be why only white hair is growing on my head now.

>Nowadays I think this would be done with fuzzing/constraint tests, where you define "this relation must hold true" in a more structured way so the framework can choose random values, test more at once, and give better failure messages.

So the concept of random is still there but expressed differently ? (= Am I partially right ?)

Must be some Mandela effect about some TDD documentation I read a long time ago.

If you test math_add(1,2) and it returns 3, you don't know if the code does `return 3` or `return x+y`.

It seems I might need to revise my view.

That's why it's "randomInt(1,42)", not "randomLong()".

I recently had race condition that made tests randomly fail because one test created "data_1" and another test also created "data_1".

- Test 1 -> set data_1 with value 1

- Test 1 -> `do some magic`

- Test 1 -> assert value 1 + magic = expected value

- Test 2 -> set data_1 with value 2

But this can fail if `do some magic` is slow and Test 2 starts before Test 1 asserts.

So I can either stop parallelism, but in real life parallelism exists, or ensure that each test as random id, just like it would happen in real life.

`today` is random.
