There's a species of bird (Chinstrap penguin) which kinda does that: it sleeps by intervals of 4 (four) seconds only. Many times through day & night. Can these 4 seconds naps be considered sleep? I don't know, but it…
> A train is just: get in/get out. This is changing, at least in France. Enshittification of train travel has begun by SNCF/ouigo. I traveled last month, now (at least for some trains) you must have a ticket at your…
Same in France. The company where I work is closed, at least offices. It is mandatory holiday, except if you have a specific job (customer support, some accounting-stuff maybe - not sure), etc.
From 2004 to 2007, I created and maintained a Linux distribution called Kaella. It was kind of a fork of the Knoppix live CD. It was not really a fork, because each version of the Kaella was based on the latest Knoppix…
Which client do you use to subscribe and listen to podcasts? I am a fan of BeyondPod which has a great automatic sorting feature, but dev seems stalled. Thanks!
Maybe there are 2 faces to this: current users and acquiring new users. First one has been discussed in other comments: current users do not want to relearn the UI of the software. And I second that. Second one: new…
If you want such plants, buy them in garden centers or in dedicated plant fairs, not online to suspicious vendors. Plants produced in cultivation (usually by seeds also produced on cultivated plants) are more suited to…
Started with an Atari 520 at 15. Then when I was a student, in 1995, I installed Linux for the free X server (free as in beer as I had not a lot of money), to be able to display softwares running on Unix machines on my…
If that's true, should we have the same kind of results when searching with "plain shirts", then? Which is not the case: searching for "plain shirts" do not give similar results than searching for "shirts without…
Awesome! Thanks! However it does not seem possible to set this as default for all searches :-(
You could, and it would be correct. But few would understand at first. It sounds like "caisse", like in "caisse de vin" (crate of wine).
French here. Yes. There are many "cheap" ones, such as Dacia Duster. I see plenty of them everyday.
The author removed the coloring, because the default setup is for ls to list files with colors. He uses an environment variable to do that. Wouldn't it be simpler to use \ls instead of ls? This way you get the "basic…
Thanks a lot to all your answers. My question was badly formulated. I meant to ask: why are we tolerating this situation? Regardless of tax evasion / tax optimization or whatever is the wording, most people agree that…
Couldn't we just ban tax evasion? What makes it so hard? (honest question) A recent European study has shown that the more company win money, the less they pay in taxes (in percentage). Is it because of bad laws?…

Is there a way to completely blacklist web sites such as this one? Such as a Firefox extension than would, in my browser, remove results from search engines, entries from hackernews, and so on? There are tons of them…
And I've not even finished to read the first sentence than an overlay slides from the top to make me subscribe to their newsletter or tell me something. I immediately left the site: the back button worked fine for me,…

Yes, Paris mobile network in subway is now pretty good. My second job was to install BTS for FTM (now Orange) in Paris including the subway in... 2000 ;-) And we had to do it cooperatively with competitive carriers…
Sadly, in France too. The CEO of Orange, the main ISP in France, Stéphane Richard, is against net neutrality: Article in French: http://www.zdnet.fr/actualites/stephane-richard-orange-veut-...
Same experience here. It tooks me DAYS to have a working coinbase account. Their process was a pains in the *, verification a nightmare.
