Even using C#'s decimal type (128bit) would be an improvement! I count 22 characters per numbers here. So a minimum of 176bit.

I’m amazed at developers who don’t grasp that you don’t need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case…

Are you kidding? This is perfect! This is exactly the kind of voice I would expect an absolute nerd quoting a RFC verbatim at me would have.

Only thing more perfect coming to mind would be Sheldon Cooper or Maurice Moss’ voice doing the reading.

What did you learn from this?

EA is against feeding 65M Latinos to the gators coz losing 28M potential customers is just not acceptable. What a caring company!

My kid does actual Fortnite dances when he wins randori during Judo practice.
I 100% believe this generation might teabag their victims. At least until thé horrors of war and PTSD set in. And even then, they might still do it as gallows humor, no doubt.

Yeah, there is a reason I didn’t know the word “aspic”. What an abomination.

Quel con !

This reads like one of those “oh no! The escalator is not moving, what shall we do!?” situations.

Welcome to the wonderful world of reverse proxies!

Were they hanging beneath a lampshade, perhaps?

For real. If those idiot neighbours would stop fucking around, we get trains from Wuhan to Bordeaux in about a week. It’s a real game changer.

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. I’m still salty about Concorde (as any French person should be, really).

China is disagreeing, right now. Not disagreeing with your arguments, but they are definitely pushing a lot more than us because the amount of people you can move is ridonkulous compared to planes and cars, their geography seems to be helping and the technology is getting ridiculous (450kph trains, right now).

Somebody didn’t watch Christophe Lambert’s The Hunted…

We do. Not as much as we used to because privatisation is a plague upon mankind, also we have very diverse geography which makes developing new lines prohibitively expensive, even more so when you’re a private company. Add to that a lack of political backing and yeah, it’s all rather turgid, even if there are some extremely recent talks concerning transeuropean night trains and such.

Those are going to be for our nice flat and speedy routes no doubt, but hey, it’s an effort in the right direction.

But yeah, things are not gonna get better fast as long as we are cursed with privatisation. What a shit show to see our glorious TGV reduced to a shell of its former self.

Meanwhile I just got an article yesterday that Wuhan is now connected to the super high speed network and the first 450kph train now connects it to Shanghai. Last time I was there the train was already TGV levels of speed and much more modern, and only a year later they are leaving us on the fucking dust…

You are not watching the right kind of propaganda from Japan, my young friend.

If she has had one, it’s a great indicator of fertility and being interested in having kids. Just gotta hope she wasn’t traumatised by the experience and you’ve got a good chance of more babies for Japan!

The point of those stickers isn’t to ask for kindness. It’s to let you know shit can happen on board and you may start driving like an idiot. Better stay a bit back so you have time to react.

Pop! Pop!
