I've got the exact same issue : everything set in English but Google still show me results in French. Even going into advanced search and forcing it to show only results in English doesn't work... And I'm not even talking about the crappy results. 2026 is going to be the year I'm leaving Google for good.

I like listening to OST, and especially ones from Trent Reznor (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, The Social Network).

AWS down again? 5 years ago

at first:

  We're sorry!
  An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we're already working on the problem and expect to resolve it shortly.
and now:
  This page isn’t working
  aws.amazon.com is currently unable to handle this request.
  HTTP ERROR 503

Reading about Delphi brings back some fond memories about Delphi 6 and using the JEDI JCL / JVCL and Inno Setup for the installation and upgrade process. Spent a couple of years building a software for editing and synchronizing configuration files (for a specific piece of hardware) with Palm Pilot devices. Good old time.

It is not related to squashing or not. One of the main rule when using git (or any other VCS I guess) is that each commit should be atomic.

IMO squashing commits is something that you should do locally, not remotely. For example I'm currently debugging a fairly large C application on an embedded system. Each bug has it's own branch. When debugging / testing / trying to fix it I tend to do a lot of commits. When the bug is fixed I do an interactive rebase to pick / drop / squash commits in order to have only a clean one at the end (and then push it).

Knowing an answer is one thing, being able to explain it is another one. You can easily spot people who "cheat" by rote learning.

For the powering one thing to take into account is that cable are somewhat heavy and if you have 3 screen + your laptop you will need 4 electrical sockets. You could use the same socket for the screens by doing something like that.

Please DON'T DO THAT! Shortcuts / fire start with things like this. You can find C13 splitter power cords on the net for like 20~30 euros.
