    No, because @Git1 explicitly said "approximately" which means the opposite of "exact" I read that's 1.616E-35 m, so yes, he could have left it at 3.141 592 653 589 793 238 462 643 383 279 502 884 m But it doesn't matter, because since snakes don't have legs, they can't walk the Planck. Now...

    I didn't like it before, but I also don't like it now when one kind of copies the other. Apparently Trump takes his submarines for a walk swim (sorry Dijkstra) trip, maybe just to show off his work, maybe to provoke a trip of the Russian subs and see if they still work... :( And meanwhile...

    Well, luck has it that nobody died ? I heard this is the news and I can hardly believe it, but if it's true, well done to all the authorities evacuating people. Material damage is there, but if there're no casualties, great. I didn't know about the submarine base. Nice if weapons were destroyed...

    Actually yes. I guess that's the contribution of Russia to the world order: predictability. The USA will say any crazy thing at any time. Russia says always the same crazy thing. Well, using them is losing. I'm not going to quote Josua from Wargames again, but yeah, you don't want any nukes...

    Well, among a hidden WWIII and Trump lovesickness with Putin, the only constructive worldwide collaboration left is the International Space Station (while it lasts). Medvedev just threatened with war with the USA, and it didn't make sense that was in response to anything Trump said, because...

    Absurdism corner

    Ukrainska Pravda is a pro Ukrainian newspaper that tends to report (but not only) on any strike on Russia or any difficulties for Russian society or economy. So it's no wonder they're reporting on a mobile phone and internet outage in parts of Russia. The problems with calls, payments, apps...

    That's user unfriendly. It should be a free text question: - No, but I'm ugly enough to cause terror. - No, sorry, you'll have to hire someone else. - Not yet. - That's a terrible question to ask, you insensitive brute!. They just quicked me off of the gang last week. - Does not voting the...

    Ok. That sounds like what a decent coder would say. Now, in the other hand, if you'd be a pointy haired CEO ... why not trust the LLM service your code, your database and your devops ? That's innovation ! I guess you all know my feelings about service as a software substitute and vibe coding, so...

    I feel old when I don't understand news like these but they still make me nervous. Tether, an apparently stablecoin company buys 70% of Adecoagro, a farming south American company.

    Well, to be honest, I haven't read the paper, just the news article, and I don't believe blindly in this kind of research, it's better than nothing, but measuring people is difficult and as the proverb goes: There's lies, damned lies and statistics (I read an extension in the slashdot.org...

    Well, I've spent some time looking for the post but I can't find it now. We once talked about large language models and fre software coder productivity, or it's impact in free software. For what it's worth, there seems to have been an study that finds free software programmers work 20% slower...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Fine, then you might want to make sure you can ssh into the machine and get root before trying again to install it and diagnose it until you fix it. I have no idea whether it's a simple configuration matter or anything more complex.

    Well, I guess Nethanyahu turns Trump on more than Putin at the end of the day. Go figure. I read in reuters something a conservative said (one Candance Owens, whoever that is): And yeah, that's about it. I guess Dr. Strangelove is not in the public domain yet, after more than 60 years ? Not...

    Sometimes I read a newspiece and go "wow!". But then I reread and I think it's quite normal, logical, coherent with what I already knew, and kind of "why didn't it happen earlier?". Coinbase loses some 400 million USD to crooks who used social engineering and 2500 USD bribes to call center...

    Ah, ok. Maybe it is so. I've heard about the Ukrainians bombing several factories in Russia making drones or components or explosives or so, but I never get to know how much damage was made. Some of the component factories seem to be bombed 2 or 3 times in some months, so I guess they recover...

    Well, the other way the USA had to protect themselves was like Russia did (at last!) in Syria: get out in some pacted way. I know Iran gave drones, and likely missiles to Russia, but then they transferred tech and now Russia is building their own customized drones, so I'm not sure how much Iran...
