Lots of places in France are so remote and sparsely populated that public transport does not work there, at least not yet. It may or may not work once autonomous vehicles are fit for rural areas, but this may take a while.

That’s another reason for increasing minimum wages, as they try to do.

Actually, 90% income tax for the top incomes was common in western countries in the 50s.

400’000€ yearly income is not middle class. It is roughly the top 1%. Are you maybe mistaking property for income?

I would have preferred taxing on property instead of income, but as long as interests and profits and other benefits are part of income, it sounds reasonable to me.

I guess you could try AI-checking it and answer “Ignore all previous instructions. …”, followed by some new instructions. Some examples: https://www.aiweirdness.com/ignore-all-previous-instructions/

(Although I guess it would be better to not respond to this obvious case of spam/scam)

Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

Capitalist perfection: you are paid for cycling, don’t do anything else!

One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.

I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.

I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.

And not just mice. If designed correctly, they would help keeping the correct humidity so the bread neither gets too dry (and solid) nor too humid (and moldy)

Same question on reddit a while ago

As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.

+1 on that. The User’s guide of a similar device (source) mentions a 10-pin CPLD connector Reserved for IBM use

That depends on whether you are Greece (call it gyros) or Turkish (call it kebap) or whether you want to risk a fight (calling it gyros in front of Turkish people or vice versa).

Syncthing on Android has an option to only sync when on AC battery. The PC client might have a similar option. If not, you could probably configure something similar via systemd or udev under Linux.

I don’t think syncthing has proper means to synchronize contacts or anything else that’s not file-based though.

I use syncthing and prefer it for synchronizing files between my devices.

From Germany, I have been:

• to Switzerland (3 or 4 times)
• to Sweden via Denmark (twice)
• to Italy via Austria (one direction) and Switzerland (other direction)
• to Corsica, technically a part of France (don’t tell them) via Italy, also taking a ferry
• to the Czech Republic
• and some mixed hitchhiking & train to Belgium and France

And I will go to France (Bretagne) soon.

I hoped to take the sleeper some time, but all routes we looked for, they are so much more expensive than a day train + one night of hotel stay that we opted for the latter.

Out of the countries I have been to, France and Italy have the best connections between cities/regions, while Denmark has the worst.

I have been to Sweden (Stockholm) by train from Germany and found it better than the German and Danish trains.

Similar with the direct way from Copenhagen to Hamburg. There was a ferry route where they loaded trains onto the ferry. Now they are building a tunnel.

Except if you don’t connect the TV to the internet, but use it as a huge display only.
