I think there’s a naming difficulty : the council of the European Union is the upper chamber, while the European council is not !

How is this related to democracy ?

No I strongly dislike this game too. It’s too hard, I don’t like the movement which feels ‘rigid’ , and it’s super gloomy and depressing. I enjoyed Ori, Monster Boy, or Prince of Persia the lost crown a lot more.

Thanks - I should have done my homework, but didn’t expect things to be so clear cut. I found this about Jordan Lasker https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/07/cremi...

Yes I had knl at some point . I tried it, tuned my code to work ok it, and since many optimizations carrried on to regular xeons … ended up buying Xeons.

I’m not sure why what he's saying is so outlandish to many ( at least to some of the papers he’s quoting ): we’re in a world which looks increasingly like the cold war all over again, and my immediate reaction when I saw the headline w

I want one for gaming , that is silent, provides high end graphics, and takes little space ( Mac mini or studio size ideally ). I’m essentially willing to pay extra for a specced up gaming console. I still haven’t been able to find somethi

This can be mitigated by learning other technical fields ( infrastructure, security, etc ) and using your technical knowledge to steer things in the right direction - but yes, you’re otherwise right and I understand your point of view.

projects beyond a certain size in a large org imply things which are very different - people, networking, money, regulations, politics, business, security etc all things which don’t look spectacular when you have three people, but become

I played dk when it came out - most of my friends ( tabletop rpg fans) were really excited, and enjoyed the humor as well. It didn’t click with me, and I found the graphics hard to read and ugly. I think populous or theme park were better g

The first time I used it around 2007 I thought it was great. It was basic, but did everything that I wanted ( I’d didn’t care about the project management that maybe didn’t even exist back then I don’t remember ). I think that it’s been div

That’s a different issue but you have a point esp since the Linux vs windows fight back then was essentially framed as proprietary vs free.

Agreed - my view is that Linux on the desktop failed and will never succeed and its mostly alright since people have shifted their computing needs from desktops to phones. So the market for personal computers has grown massively with phone

Unless I’m mistaken windows 10 is end of life in 3 months so this shouldn’t be surprising ?

Right now it’s fairly limited , hence the many ‘programmers will always be needed’ opinions. What worries me is the trend and speed at which things are progressing, especially with the amount of money thrown at it. If you believe the trend

That’s indeed not high speed - high speed ( tgv) is closer to 200mph.

Most of them are but some of them are good. I like the Cloudflare blog in particular which tends to be very technical, and doesn’t rely on magical infrastructure so you can often enough replicate/explore what they talk about at home. I

I remember mouse control - I didn’t expect in a dos application at the time, and it also felt like a waste of space ( I think you had to fiddle with interrupt 33 or something like that to deal with the mouse which was more complicated than

Well you don’t need enshittification for that : in the early 2000s Sony released a digital music player that didn’t read mp3 but ATrac instead, and the provided converter was slow and buggy. Let’s say that consumers didn’t like it. I’ve alw

Yes - happened to me once. I could reproduce it consistently until I turned tcpdump on , at which point it would go away. I resorted to ebpf as well.
