    The Rise of Pyra - A story about the past 6 months

    Well, but therapist is one of the few professions where the customer isn't always right. In programming the main problem is making product owners, customers and managers understand they're wrong. Not just wrong, but inconsistent. What they're saying is not just wrong, it just doesn't mean...

    The Rise of Pyra - A story about the past 6 months

    Not sure. I'm a little confused. I see reasons for and against. I don't know how I would do it. I't probably more legal to work without a contract (if there's no pay) than to have a contract and not abide by it... But IANAL. No, but at the time of the order the customer didn't know, so it's...

    The Rise of Pyra - A story about the past 6 months

    Thank you. I wasn't expecting so detailed news.Much the better. Well done, maybe. We're not that judgemental here. We try to accept everyone as is. And we have this unwritten rule of not leaning to critize people who are working for our pyras. On top of all that, you know yourself better...

    New copper cases are finally being assembled

    OK. They say "no news is good news". Good news is nice news, so ...nice news are coming means no news are coming... well, I guess it makes sense, somehow.. :( At least it makes more sense that assuming the news is a post saying "painted baguettes". Whatever. Thanks anyway.

    It's still cool today, as long as you don't turn all water into wine. If there's enough water, there are some deities called Vines which we worship because they turn the water and nutrients in the ground into grapes, which is half way into wine. Other gods turn the grapes to wine, but you...

    Parlez vouz francaise? Or how to use our Linux Device for Learning Languages

    Careful with tanks, mind Stevie. Edit: I didn't mean alcohol is good for piloting helicopters or submarines. Well, I know someone who received the letter declaring him unfit for compulsory military service and took champagne to the high school to celebrate (quite insensitive for the classmates...

    Well, I'd say learning French is the weirdest reason to join the Légion étrangère. But then I think joining any army group is weird, so it may be just me...

    The Communication Cube

    Another article on Secure Boot insecurity. This time because of bad key management. Bad like shipping devices with platform key clearly marked by CN=DO NOT TRUST - AMI test key It really shouldn't amuse me.

    Parlez vouz francaise? Or how to use our Linux Device for Learning Languages

    You know, any language can be romantic if the people speaking it feel right. There's romanticism even without words. A smile, a glance, a drop of eyes... I seem to remember there used to be a court for love affairs in Aachen ? Did they write the proceedings in Occitan, German, Dutch, French...

    Problems in clouds ground planes. Radio news say that's happening in Europe also, not only the USA. And Australia, I think. I've also heard it's not a cyber -attack but a shortage, maybe caused by some security infrastructure gone wrong. Should we rejoice for the lack of pollution and climate...

    The Communication Cube

    If you mean a million human lives maybe. If you mean a million lives in general, I don't know. I may already be able to save a million lives by killing myself now, but I don't know how to count the lettuces and carrots and potato plants that will be killed to sustain me from now to the day I...

    If that means what I think, then the advice should be : "don't go to 2019 or later". Shouldn't it? The COVID19 is called COVID19 because it spread since 2019. In China at first, apparently (although there are earlier remnants in sewage in other places IIRC). And if I've understood it, there's...

    The Communication Cube

    Exactly. So they don't serve any useful purpose, and you can only turn them upside down and make fun of them. Somebody already said that you could jump yourself off the bridge more precisely than you can throw someone else. But you could do anything from calling authorities, trhowing clothing...

    Well, I guess if that you is you, you just figure out, the majority of the train passengers might be homeless or insufficiently rich, and just get down the hill, making sure nobody sees you were there watching the problem, so nobody can ever blame you. Because you know, the vehicle in trouble...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    I know most people here know, but in case some don't know... Most orders were in the first days, because the project was open and some people knew what was being prepared and were waiting for it long before it was possible to order, so they all ordered a little while after. Thinking about...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Hi. Is everyone fine ? I've heard of floodings in Bavaria, including Ingolstadt workers unable to get to work in some factories. Is everything fine or are there Pyra cases and mainboards floating on the Danube ? Hoping everyone and families are safe.

    (Bad)Joke Appreciation Corner

    In an abulian group, the order of operands doesn't matter. So what's the point of operating one way or the other, really ? Can we just take a morphism to the whatever singleton and call it a day?
