I will dualboot to keep a windows 10 for software that only runs on it, but I really hope I will be able to be gaming on linux only.

Imagine people in 2150 praising the visionary and benevolent president Trump who courageously lead our world to the only possible path in order to save the environment: "He fooled them all with his "drill baby drill" and they fell for it, they elected him. Of course some were suspicious that something was off, but he had a grand plan for nature to finally be restored..."

I would love to read this fiction, because reality is quite sad at the moment.

I know there is a programming language called windev, all in French, just in case you want to suffer. I would except a good exception handling mechanism in a French base language.

An example from their website: ` TotalCA est un monétaire = CalculCAMoisEnCours()

SI TotalCA >= 1 250 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= "Objectif dépassé !" LIB_Objectif.Couleur= VertFoncé

SINON SI TotalCA <= 200 000 ALORS LIB_Objectif= "Objectif non atteint" LIB_Objectif.Couleur= RougeClair FIN

FIN `

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

You may want to read the text before commenting nonsense, the French are not pleased either.

I don't see what justify your attack, it seems unnecessary to attack people based on their nationality. Yes, we do have a far-right issue in France, but it's pretty much the same as everywhere else in Europe and there is still a resisting left here, not all hope is lost. Also, regarding your comment below, the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003, when the US and allies invaded and destroyed Irak, but for once France stood against the US imperialism.___

That's why we also need to reduce our use of pretty much everything. We can never reach zero fossil fuel used, unless we start by reducing the amount of stuff we buy/use, starting with things that currently use fossil fuels: cars, shipping, flights, plastics and so on.

Then we could use renewable energies only or nuclear only or a mix of both to power what is truly necessary for our lives.

Nice, I will be attending if the DB is okay with that. I don't have any practical knowledge in neither Nix nor Rust but I'm interested in both so that's a great meetup. Do you know if the speakers will talk in German or in English ?

Where I was working Excel was used for the specification of scientific data. You get stuff like thousands of rows in several sheets themselves in multiple files that inherit from one another and everything is edited by hand... And I maintained a tool that combined them to create binary files from this mess. Lot of fun.

It depend on your morphology I guess: for me below 15km rides, I can wear jeans and it's fine, but above that it starts to be painful. When I'm touring I really enjoy having my cycling pant, even a cheap one does the job perfectly for me. But again, I have a quite large distance between my ischium bones, so the same may not apply to everyone.

It's the same for us in France. We barely get any news from Germany, apart from who is the current chancellor and the big headlines. I now live in Germany and it feels very strange to have so few knowledge of the politics of where I live (my german is way too weak for now to properly understand it)

I don't play that much any more sadly, only one evening per week with the buddies but BG3 looks very appealing. Do you think it can be enjoyed casually ?

Pour te donner une idée le dernier que j'ai fait c'était en janvier 2023 Paris->Toulouse en couchette de 2nd classe, c'était 37€ mais j'ai déjà payé 48€ pour le même service. Après ca varie fortement, c'est clairement moins cher si tu peux reservé en avance. Ca m'est arrivé de payer 150€ parceque je reservais le jour même et qu'il ne restait que des billets de 1er classe.

Pour avoir fait pas mal de fois Toulouse-Paris en train de nuit l'année dernière, c'est vraiment top. J'y dors généralement bien et ça me donne l'impression de ne pas perdre de temps dans les transports (même si j'aime bien le train). En plus, je seul moment où je peux apprécier Paris c'est à 7h du mat' quand il n'y a pas grand monde et que tu peux aller te prendre un café et une tartine dans les cafés qui ouvrent tout doucement. Donc je plussoie fort vers le haut !

Je suis étonné que les Pays Bas soient aussie haut, ils ont la réputation de manger un sandwich triangle devant le pc le midi et des tartines le soir. Ca vaut aussi dans une moindre mesure pour les Allemands.

Here it is https://unisa.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/delivery/61USOUTHAUS_INST/12177058790001831 I haven't read it, just doing my part for open science. By the way, unpaywall is a great browser extension to quickly go around publishers paywalls: https://unpaywall.org/welcome

It seems the temperature has been slightly hotter about 6500 years ago for a period of around 2 centuries with temperature estimated between +0.8 and +1.8 °C compared to 19th century, but this is subject to debate, (see for example https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0530-7).

Before that, we have to go back to a period where most Homo Sapiens were living in Africa about 125,000 years ago, where warming was likely +0.5 to +1.5°C compared to the same 19th century baseline.

Regardless if there was periods much hotter in the long past, the big difference with today's situation is the rate at which this warming is taking place. For example, for the "6500 years ago" period, it took about 3000 years of warming to go from +0 to it's maximum (which is between +0.8 and +1.8 °C). Today we are at about +1.1°C and it took us only 100 years, through fossil fuels burning and farming to reach that and most of which happened in the past 50 years.

Also, about oxygen 16 and oxygen 18:

The water remaining in the ocean develops increasingly higher concentration of heavy oxygen compared to the universal standard, and the ice develops a higher concentration of light oxygen. Thus, high concentrations of heavy oxygen in the ocean tell scientists that light oxygen was trapped in the ice sheets. The exact oxygen ratios can show how much ice covered the Earth. Sources:
