It bothers me that FAR is near what’s usually the zero and NEAR is, well, far.

Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

This is beautiful, it’s poetry.

Quebec was a French colony, they lost a big war, they hate the monarchy and dream of independence from Britain and the English part of Canada.

They try everything so people keep speaking in French. They force kids to go to French schools and reduced the places in English schools. They’ve had teachers and monitors forcing kids to speak in French even during recess. Of course it doesn’t work and kids will speak in whatever language they want, mainly English.

I have a little bit of experience in this. Brazilian living in Quebec. So, my friends almost always spoke in Portuguese with their children, school and TV were in French. After some time, school starts also to teach English and they chose the language of the TV. Now the kids are almost always speaking in English, although the are fluent in Portuguese and, of course, French.

Now, my wife and I hated the TV in French, so we kept it in English. So, my kids had to deal with three languages from the start. They mixed everything up and we screwed up by saying words in all three languages. We speak mainly Portuguese but we would use words that they learned in other languages in those languages instead of in Portuguese. In the end, my kids mix all three languages in a single sentence, which is weird as hell. They’re slowly separating the languages and we too. Now, every sentence we speak is in a single language. Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).

So, if both of you are Portuguese speakers, I’d only speak Portuguese with them and let the TV and school teach English. They’ll know how to keep things separated.

MSX, some version of MS-DOS, DR-DOS, Windows 3.0, 3.11, Slackware 3.0, Windows 95,98,NT,XP,7, CentOS, and now, MacOS.

At work, Windows XP,7 and 10, and several versions and flavors of RHEL.

I like to collect things like this and use on FB when someone comes with that “nature is beautiful” crap.

But the dung beetle pushes the poop ball with its back legs.

At least they’re being honest saying it’s powered by ChatGPT. Click the link to talk to a human.

My experience: regular snapshots plus binlogs being copied to another ec2. So, depending on the retention of the snapshots and logs, I can do a Point In Time Recovery to any second in the last N days. In my case, I set for 2 days. I don’t send anything to S3.

More. I downloaded The Last Wish in PDF I think, but I forgot I had bought the book. After a spring cleaning I found a second copy of the book I had bought.

Probably to disrupt the temperature gradient that forms around the can. That’s why we blow air on though the top of a hot drink to cool it faster.

There’s something called blast freezer, which is basically a freezer with fans inside, like what convection ovens have. It cools down food much faster than a standard freezer.

Financially? I imagine working on production casting would be a nice application of this skill.

For a period I was an IT consultant for a company dealing with Supermarkets. The owner taught me many things about this business. The grocery store has contracts with the suppliers telling at which level the product must be (people tend to buy what’s in the eye level) and how many columns of items the product will have (called facing IIRC). Like Hans Ketchup will be in the 4th shelf up and it’ll have 6 columns showing the front label. If the product is in a corner or in an island, everything is in the contract.

I’ve seen workers with papers printed with a picture of how the shelf must be organized.

He also told me about prices. Things that have the power of the brand will be always priced higher, like “product X will be priced 15% higher than the most expensive competitor in this store”.
