Absolutely, the official apps are lacking. Google maps has incorrect timetables and the TEC app doesn't give you any way of knowing when the next bus will be and where in traffic it is. I recently had a bus at say 10:00, I get there at

I don't really care about the site but it's an indication that the software might include a trojan or serious flaw. I'm not downloading code with deep system access and risk losing my data/money.

I'll be honest. I discovered him with this post. And I studied in France. I am also familiar with his projects, the obfuscated C code contest and more. Just don't remember seeing his name. I guess that if people aren't loud o

I got a prompt about trying new apps every week or something similar. The wording, the moment it prompted me were clearly designed for people to just say "ok" and then wonder how apps were installing regularly without any action.

I think that you underestimate the portion of people just letting Youtube play videos in a continuous flow. They are doing the dishes, sewing, folding clothes, watching the entrance of the building... Stating the subject of the video makes

Please stop saying "Brussels" to mean the EU. It's a nasty trick to give the idea that it's some kind of external entity forcing your country to do something. It's not. It's an assembly. And it's insulting

Play the GDPR card, even if you're not from Europe. Find their DPO and state that you want to appeal the automated decision to a human. Companies operating in Europe must provide a clear way to appeal automated decisions: https:/

I think that it's a great opportunity to play with relatives. Each person can explain why/why not and that's probably the main point. It'll also probably shut the mouth of those who think that they know better. This work

This is the problem with this report. It doesn't mean that the cars break down more often, it means that they are so rarely at the shop that the drivers don't notice the used brake pads, tires etc.

Not COBOL but I sometimes have to maintain a large ColdFusion app. The early LLMs were pretty bad at it but these days, I can let AI write code and I "just" review it. I've also used AI to convert a really old legacy app to s

I got banned for asking about the yfinance python module. They had an "appeal" but it was a Google Form that probably nobody ever looks at. My recommendation would be to get in touch with their DPO (Data Protection Officer) and in

Good to know, you're not the first I hear complaining about this. I'm pretty sure that if you tell them that you're initiating a chargeback, it'll magically resolve itself.

There is no certification to pass or anything. You just have to keep it in mind when creating your business. It's too easy to just abuse data and then claim that it's too late to fix. I've been through several startups after

It's funny to talk about internationalization but only support Western date format. If you are managing hospital admissions in Nepal, you have to be able to provide the date in Nepalese calendar and in the common one. And believe me, t

Relying on a salinity differential, even between salted and unsalted, seems like a terribly small amount of energy. There are projects to put large spheres at the feet of offshore windmills to pump water in and out. That has some pressure c

12€/month minimum, that's expensive. It's ok for a professional website with loads of comments but for my personal blog, I'd rather not have comments.

The author is using a random CMS, namely Hugo. You probably mean a PHP that can be hosted for cheap. But then, you end up with a Wordpress nightmare, even more spam and security issues. I had a pretty popular blog and some posts gathered hu

Tried it on Mac too and from Python, it just outputs an empty file, with their own samples. With the command line directly, it complains about reverse mtime /Library/Fonts. This is the kind of thing that might be fixed with more p

Visa application is riddled with scams. From the simple website that charges you twice the price to websites that will tell you that you were rejected and then fake your documents to get in with your name. So they're probably trying to

gewinnen-mit-wero.de: It is pretty common to use a dedicated domain for a large campaign so that the spam complaints don't hurt the deliverability of your main domain.

I love this one, it's excellent at packing lots and lots of information in very little space. It's sadly victim of its success and is quite often over quota to its weather API. We should make a paid version that wouldn't have

They're not exactly the same thing but for comparison, France has the Rance Tidal Power Station that has been producing 250MW for 45 years. South Korean made a more powerful one at 254MW. This pilot produced 4.5MW when all 3 turbines w

What drives me nuts with this is that they'll go for a weird guessing game instead of using the language settings that the browser is providing in every single request. My browser states that I favour English, then French. My user prof

A former colleague makes it an interview question. He asks the recruiter what the procedure is if he wants to buy a product or use a service under $100/year. If the bureaucracy is overwhelming, it's a major red flag. When I was wo

I've had this argument with a Google Developer. He told me that for efficiency, they had different stages in the content rendering and that the main page structure didn't have your user information yet. That's rubbish IMHO be
