I've been using ETP plus adblock-rs in Waterfox for 2 weeks. I don't see much a difference compared to ETP + ublock origin apart from some cosmetic filtering. The fact that it's not an extension supposedly allows to block at more layers so it's theoretically better than an extension (https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182)

Note that there are (were?) also some small bugs in the waterfox integration (such as the configuration options sometimes disappearing).

Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with

Wait, no! This is the most complicated one, fortunately it's scarcely appears.

In canoë, the ë is pronounced as an é. In Noël, it's pronounced as an è. In ambiguë, it's not pronounced at all!

You never opened a README.md that contained links in something else than a browser?

There exists winden.app which is a magic wormhole webapp. They use their own mailbox and relay so you need to use the right options in the wormhole CLI.

Quo Vadis is french and in fact now belongs to the Clairefontaine group, just like Rhodia.

last time I checked the record was 80 qubits

It has progressed since: IBM Condor (demonstrated in december 2023) has 1121 qubits.

Is this move the reason for the random 403 errors I get from the tumblr rss feeds I follow? Since a few weeks ago, some feeds are disappearing then reappearing, sometimes they are unavailable for a few days, sometimes it's back the moment I refresh. If the move is in the future, I guess that means they have neglected the current platform.

You do not need a different algorithm for each real. Just take the algorithm that proves the statement for rational p. It proves the statement for all reals bigger than p. (hence having as many algorithms as there are rational (countably many) is enough)

Well you cannot really do without leap years, but what you propose looks a lot like the pataphysical calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Pataphysics#Pataphysical_ca...

13 months of 29 days. The 29th of each month being imaginary with two exceptions, 1 annual and 1 leap.

Or more seriously, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar

Not parent, but it is forbidden in France: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/id/LEGIARTI000028154450...

There are in fact 3 universities in Toulouse: Toulouse I-Capitole, Toulouse Jean Jaurès (used to be Toulouse II-Le Mirail), and Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier. And since it would be absurd to have just those three universities they are part of a group called "Université de Toulouse" (formerly Université fédérale de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées) which also counts a number of schools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_University_of_Toulouse....

In french, it is "vecteur propre" (which has the same meaning).

Also happy with miniflux. On android, I use Fluent Reader to sync: https://hyliu.me/fluent-reader-lite/

It fetches data from the public APIs of openlibrary.org and inventaire.io. From my point of view, inventaire is really great as it synchronizes with wikidata and is far better at not duplicating works or authors.

IBM has been doing it for years: they sell you a multi-core machine but you only can use 1 core. You can pay to use more than one as you need: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9?topic=environment-capacit...

EDIT: The covers of some modern french translations are also incredible. Just the four letters D U N E, which are exactly the same shape but rotated 90 degrees. It's an incredibly simple and effective design.

Indeed, the Robert Laffont 2020 edition looks great: https://www.noosfere.org/livres/EditionsLivre.asp?numitem=13...

I thought 11 years ago that e-ink with good refresh was achieved, seeing bookeen's prototype display videos and full screen scrolling.

But all e-ink devices I have seen since were slow and would form time to time show remanence.

I tried trillium and found it interesting but a little difficult to use (I prefer markdown to their editor). Then I tried editing on mobile and it really was awful. It was mostly impossible to use the contextual menu. Some words got doubled when I typed them. Pasting did not work.

So I came back to a folder of markdown files synchronized with syncthing that I edit with markor on Android and vim or vscode on desktop.

Dark pattern one: You must login to manage your marketing preferences. There's no security related emails here, so this is completely unnecessary.

Did you just give your credentials to a website linked from a spam email?

So it is far more expensive than the similar bookeen notéa and kobo elipsa which cost 400€.

Let me add yet another reference: Robert Merle's "the day of the dolphin" (un animal doué de raison) published in 1967 (so the navy began training dolphins and sea lions while reading this book). In it, the (talking) dolphins are used in a false flag attack.

To be fair, Google Maps is also stupid:

I once planned in advance and saved a trip with intermediary steps ending at what it calls "Domicile" (its way of saying Home in french). The next day I open the trip and the destination is no longer my home but a place doing home cleaning close to my start...

Nestle products are titled under 2000 different brand names. For instance, [...] maybeline makeup brands

Isn't Maybelline a subsidiary of L'oréal rather than Nestlé?

Nice.

It seems like magic, but it is possible to entirely outsource the infobox to wikidata. See for example https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mart%C3%ADn_Abadi whose infobox is created with the sole `{{Infobox Biographie2}}` line.

Google has taught people to ask full questions (without question marks strangely), and knows how to treat those requests (Who is the mayor of Palo Alto; What's the weather in X"...). DDG is a little worse at that.

I expect search engines to search for every words in my request, and I prefer shorter requests. DDG gives pertinent instant answers for "weather Paris", "3.5mi in km" and correct results for NBA schedule.

when landed they arrested a wanted man once he was on their soil.

Did he get on their soil though? Usually, you stay in the international zone when between flights, so, here, the passengers should not have entered Belarus. Do we know what happened in the airport?

membrane keyboards generally have 2KRO,3KRO, or 6KRO while mechanical keyboards support N-key rollover (no matter how many keys you are holding down simultaneously, all of them will be registered correctly).

2KRO means 2-key rollover. If you push 3 keys simultaneously, one will not be taken into account.

It is in fact a little more complicated than that (2KRO guarantees that any combination of 2 keys will register both, but some 3 or more key combinations will also work).

I assume the finish line should correspond to the scaffolding above the road that sports "Finish". https://www.tglyn.ch/blog/images/amstel_photofinish_camera_p...

The computation by the author of the article indeed confirms this: https://www.tglyn.ch/blog/images/amstel_approx_line.png

My point is that it is the painted line that was not correctly placed rather than the camera.

Wallabag extracts the content and stores it. Not just the links.

Are you removing the infamous microsoft name to make it more frightening?

Microsoft is terrible. Google is bad. Combining them in a browser was an evil achievement.
