    It’s also important to note that you might come out ahead in learning those abstract concepts using a harder language.

    I agree that you will learn more abstract concepts with more low level languages, but they are often not necessary. See Scala, beautiful language, lot's of fancy subtle computer science concepts, and a plummeting popularity since its main popularizer, Apache Spark, implemented a Python API.

    Some people think that because Python is the easiest language to learn, it's going to be easy to learn programming with Python. But learning programming is still very hard, so many abstract concepts to grasp. Python just makes it a tiny less hard, almost insignificantly now that we can use an LLM to learn the syntax faster than than ever.

    The Mothman Prophecies is a 1975 book by John Keel.
    The book relates Keel's accounts of his investigation into alleged sightings of a large, winged creature known as Mothman in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1966 and 1967.[2] It combines these accounts with his theories about UFOs and various supernatural phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mothman_Prophecies

    I am from EU, especially one of those countries with free health care. I believe we have a mix of public research, private research (ex: Sanofi, Servier), expensive proprietary drugs and government controlled public domain generic drugs. But there was an alert recently on drug making sovereignty because no company is interested in making those less profitable generic drugs in France, so they are outsourced to cheaper countries and there's a risk of penury.

    He does mention the fact that medicine research is hard and requires money but doesn't explain how to solve that. This is a big argument of big pharma prices, they say it finances future research. I think a good example is how incredibly fast we got a COVID vaccine. It happened because private investors had massively invested in research platforms and they invested because they are expecting gains.

    Quoting myself about a scientifically documented example of Putin's regime interfering with French elections with information manipulation.

    This a French scientific study showing how the Russian regime tries to influence the political debate in France with Twitter accounts, especially before the last parliamentary elections. The goal is to promote a party that is more favorable to them, namely, the far right. https://hal.science/hal-04629585v1/file/Chavalarias_23h50_Putin_s_Clock.pdf

    In France, we have a concept called the “Republican front” that is kind of tacit agreement between almost all parties, left, center and right, to work together to prevent far-right from reaching power and threaten the values of the French Republic. This front has been weakening at every election, with the far right rising and lately some of the traditional right joining them. But it still worked out at the last one, far right was given first by the polls, but thanks to the front, they eventually ended up 3rd.

    What this article says, is that the Russian regime has been working for years to invert this front and push most parties to consider that it is part of the left that is against the Republic values, more than the far right. One of their most cynical tactic is using videos from the Gaza war to traumatize leftists until they say something that may sound antisemitic. Then they repost those words and push the agenda that the left is antisemitic and therefore against the Republican values.

    >When the snow leopard sprang into action, Donglin assumed it was in pursuit of a marmot, not seeing, at first, the Pallas’s cat that ‘blended in so well with the rocks’. The little cat fled, but its short legs were no match for the muscular snow leopard, its long, thick tail helping it balance as it ran down the slope. In less than a minute, the snow leopard had its prey in its jaws, and proceeded to carry it back to its den. > >Both species are very well camouflaged and extremely hard to spot. While large birds of prey and wolves are known to hunt Pallas’s cats, it’s rare to see them hunted by snow leopards. > >Donglin understood the young leopard’s need to hunt but was heartbroken at the loss of the Pallas’s cat. She explains, ‘the cat had three two-month-old kittens, not yet independent, hidden in an empty marmot’s burrow nearby’. > >After discussions with the guide and forest rangers, Donglin obtained permission from the local government for road-killed pikas to be left near the den. Three weeks later, the kittens were hunting by themselves, and not long after, two of them were seen with their aunt and its litter of five. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2023-race-for-life

    Some projects are spun out from major corporations.

    This is most of the FOSS projects in data engineering and data science. They come from tech giants or some dudes who just left tech giants to create a FOSS tool with a paid managed version, and those may get bough back by other tech giants later.

    Example:

    Analytics and AI giant Databricks reportedly paid nearly $2 billion when it acquired Tabular in June, a startup that was only doing $1 million in annual recurring revenue, according to Bloomberg. That’s a pretty outrageous exit multiple, and it was purportedly fueled by a battle between Databricks and Snowflake.

    Tabular had over $30 million in funding, backed by Altimeter Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Zetta Venture Partners, when it was acquired just three years after it was founded. Tabular’s valuation was tied to Apache Iceberg, a popular open source table format that the startup’s founders created while at Netflix. The startup quickly became an expensive pawn in the war between Databricks and Snowflake.https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/14/databricks-reportedly-paid-2-billion-in-tabular-acquisition/

Ces stratégies de basse intensité, pilotées ou influencées pour la plupart par le Kremlin, se déploient sur des échelles de temps trop longues pour que les acteurs du débat en aient conscience. Elles visent à déstructurer la société française de manière systémique pour provoquer une transition vers une société fermée ou une démocratie illibérale. > >Dans un contexte de reconfiguration brutale de l’espace politique suite à la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale, les efforts du Kremlin sont sur le point de payer. Cette étude identifie une convergence d’intérêts entre le régime de Poutine et l’extrême-droite française. Elle explicite certaines mesures actives mises en place par le Kremlin depuis au moins 2016 pour déstabiliser la société française et montre comment certaines d’entre-elles entrent en synergie ces jours-ci pour faire tomber voire s’inverser le front républicain. Ceci est la dernière étape avant la prise de contrôle de la France par des personnalités politiques moins hostiles au régime de Poutine. > >Dans ce dispositif, les communautés politiques préoccupées par le conflit israélo-palestinien et la montée de l’antisémitisme ou de l’islamophobie sont instrumentalisées afin de compromettre tout barrage contre une extrême-droite banalisée au second tour des législatives.

    Appât facile pour Lemmy ! Plus sérieusement, je trouve l'idée intéressante de dire que LFI n'est pas d'extrême gauche quand on compare au NPA ou au programme de Mitterrand. Mais j'ai l'impression qu'on peut appliquer le même raisonnement pour dire que le RN n'est pas aussi extrême que son origine, je ne suis pas convaincu par les arguments de l'article. > Selon la définition de Jean-Etienne Dubois, dans son ouvrage l’Extrême droite française, les partis d'« extrême droite » sont « les organisations qui contestent le système politique républicain et démocratique (anti-électoralisme, antiparlementarisme, aspirations autoritaires, etc.) et/ou le caractère universel des valeurs républicaines de liberté et d’égalité (antisémitisme, racisme, xénophobie, etc.) ». Qu'est-ce qui dans les programmes du RN de ces dernières années match avec cette définition de l'extrême droite ? > Ainsi, « l’origine [du Front national, devenu Rassemblement national], son noyau de militants et les références idéologiques diverses qui s’y côtoient inscrivent indubitablement l’histoire de ce parti dans la filiation de l’extrême droite française ». Il y a des origines puantes dans à peu près tous les partis (ex : Mitterrand et Vichy, communistes et Staline, les partis gaulliste et la décolonisation, etc.), est-ce qu'on peut essentialiser un groupe politique à son origine pour toujours ? Est-ce que les nouveaux votants que le RN a gagnés aux élections de ces dernières années sont des racistes anti-démocrates ? Ou est-ce qu'ils sont simplement séduits par le savant mélange de populisme de droite (anti-immigration) et de gauche (anti-élite) que le RN cuisine depuis le début de son entreprise de dédiabolisation ?

I think it should be made mandatory in every region with water resources issues. It's still not clear to me, however, if using soap there will cause more maintenance issues or not.

    Vous choisissez quoi comme noms/mél jetables quand vous vous inscrivez sur des sites qui ne méritent pas votre vraie identité ?

    Personnellement, j'aime bien mettre Pascal Obispo. Ça me fait toujours marrer d'imaginer un analyste qui va tomber dessus.

    Pourquoi la méritocratie n’existe pas www.youtube.com

    “Quand on veut, on peut”. C’est une idée extrêmement répandue, dans la culture, les médias ou la politique : la France est, et doit être, un pays méritocratique, un pays où l’on réussit par la force de son mérite. Cet argument régulièrement avancé par les plus privilégiés sert surtout à légitimer l’existence du système en place. La méritocratie existe-t-elle vraiment ? En d’autres termes, partons-nous réellement avec les mêmes chances dans la vie ? L’effort est-il récompensé socialement et économiquement en France ? Est-il même souhaitable que le talent et le travail soient à ce point récompensés ? Ne faudrait-il pas remplacer l’adage quand on veut on peut, par quand on peut, on veut ? Éléments de réponse avec Salomé Saqué.

    « Le peuple russe vit peut-être le meilleur moment de sa vie » www.lemonde.fr

    >Ludmila Petranovskaïa, une psychologue de renom, a récemment tenté de dresser la liste de toutes les pertes subies par le peuple russe afin de montrer que « tous les Russes ne bénéficient pas de cette guerre ». Sa liste mentionne : l’effondrement de la monnaie nationale et des valeurs mobilières ; la fermeture mondiale des frontières aux touristes russes ; la fin des perspectives d’études à l’étranger pour les jeunes ; la restriction des droits civils et des libertés ; la dégradation de l’enseignement et de la culture ; la séparation des familles en raison de l’émigration, etc. > >Après avoir lu cette liste, j’ai remercié une fois de plus le destin de ne pas être né à Moscou et de ne pas avoir encore perdu tout contact avec la réalité. Parce que si l’on considère que les deux tiers de la population russe sont « le peuple russe », alors « le peuple russe » n’a rien perdu de tout cela. Pour la bonne raison qu’il ne l’a jamais eu.

    [Fait maison] Aubergines chinoises aux 5 épices et sauce soja, omelette roulée et quinoa

    J'adore les aubergines à la chinoise, j'ai à peu près retrouvé le gout avec cette recette : https://www.undejeunerdesoleil.com/2016/09/aubergines-sautees-sauce-soja.html. À la différence que je ne les fais pas suer avec du sel, parce qu'après, c'est difficile à dessaler. À la place, je les fais sécher à sec dans la poêle avant de les faire sauter comme dans la recette. Il faut bien attendre que les aubergines soient fondantes. L'omelette est mélangée avec de la sauce soja à la place du sel. Je déverse le mélange dans une grande poêle huilée et bien chaude. Je la fais remonter sur deux côtés opposés pour augmenter sa longueur. Ça me donne aussi une meilleure prise pour commencer à la rouler. Quand je l'ai roulé au 3/4, je la recentre et chasse la liquide pas encore cuit du côté à rouler pour qu'il crée encore de la longueur. On peut être plus au moins rapide selon le niveau de cuisson souhaité. Le quinoa est cuit à l'eau, puis passé à la poêle un peu pour le rendre un peu croustillant et assaisonné à la sauce soja. Je laisse toujours un peu cuire la sauce soja dans la poêle pour qu'elle révèle son goût carné.

    In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows

    I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

    L'Anses alerte sur l'octocrylène présent dans les crèmes solaires : "Ce n'est pas normal que le ministère de l'Environnement traîne autant", s'insurge un biologiste www.francetvinfo.fr

    J'en ai trouvé dans les 3 crèmes solaires de trois marques (Vichy, Garnier, Roche-Posay) différentes que j'ai chez moi. Il semble que les crèmes les plus récentes ont moins de chances d'en avoir. L'article est du mois dernier.

    Which beloved artist of your country should I mention with your compatriots to warm up the atmosphere?

    I've noticed that when meeting a foreign person, mentioning that you like a beloved artist from their country is one of the best way to create a good vibe. Which revered artist/group (not necessarily musician) from your place should I learn about? A few examples I'm thinking about (correct me if I'm wrong): Country | Artist ---|--- Argentina | Carlos Gardel Australia | Powderfinger Austria | Mozart, Falco, Thomas Bernhard Beligum | Jacques Brel, Stromae Brazil | Raul Seixas, Zé Ramalho Cabo Verde | Cesária Évora Canada | Leonard Cohen, Céline Dion, Gordon Lightfoot Egypt | Umm Kulthum France | Daft Punk Germany | Kraftwerk, Die Ärzte, Franz Kafka Iceland | Björk Italy | Elio e le Storie Tese Malawai | Evison Matafale Mali | Salif Keita Scotland | The Proclaimers, Sean Connery Sweden | Astrid Lindgren USA | Dolly Parton Edit: Spent my Saturday morning vibing, adding the "consensual" suggestions to the table.
