I've been using ETP plus adblock-rs in Waterfox for 2 weeks. I don't see much a difference compared to ETP + ublock origin apart from some cosmetic filtering. The fact that it's not an extension supposedly allows to block at more layers so it's theoretically better than an extension (https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182)

Note that there are (were?) also some small bugs in the waterfox integration (such as the configuration options sometimes disappearing).

> Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with

Wait, no! This is the most complicated one, fortunately it's scarcely appears.

In canoë, the ë is pronounced as an é. In Noël, it's pronounced as an è. In ambiguë, it's not pronounced at all!

You never opened a README.md that contained links in something else than a browser?

There exists winden.app which is a magic wormhole webapp. They use their own mailbox and relay so you need to use the right options in the wormhole CLI.

Quo Vadis is french and in fact now belongs to the Clairefontaine group, just like Rhodia.

> last time I checked the record was 80 qubits

It has progressed since: IBM Condor (demonstrated in december 2023) has 1121 qubits.

Is this move the reason for the random 403 errors I get from the tumblr rss feeds I follow? Since a few weeks ago, some feeds are disappearing then reappearing, sometimes they are unavailable for a few days, sometimes it's back the moment I refresh. If the move is in the future, I guess that means they have neglected the current platform.

You do not need a different algorithm for each real. Just take the algorithm that proves the statement for rational p. It proves the statement for all reals bigger than p. (hence having as many algorithms as there are rational (countably many) is enough)

Well you cannot really do without leap years, but what you propose looks a lot like the pataphysical calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Pataphysics#Pataphysical_ca...

13 months of 29 days. The 29th of each month being imaginary with two exceptions, 1 annual and 1 leap.

Or more seriously, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar

There are in fact 3 universities in Toulouse: Toulouse I-Capitole, Toulouse Jean Jaurès (used to be Toulouse II-Le Mirail), and Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier. And since it would be absurd to have just those three universities they are part of a group called "Université de Toulouse" (formerly Université fédérale de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées) which also counts a number of schools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_University_of_Toulouse....

In french, it is "vecteur propre" (which has the same meaning).

Also happy with miniflux. On android, I use Fluent Reader to sync: https://hyliu.me/fluent-reader-lite/

It fetches data from the public APIs of openlibrary.org and inventaire.io. From my point of view, inventaire is really great as it synchronizes with wikidata and is far better at not duplicating works or authors.

IBM has been doing it for years: they sell you a multi-core machine but you only can use 1 core. You can pay to use more than one as you need: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9?topic=environment-capacit...

> EDIT: The covers of some modern french translations are also incredible. Just the four letters D U N E, which are exactly the same shape but rotated 90 degrees. It's an incredibly simple and effective design.

Indeed, the Robert Laffont 2020 edition looks great: https://www.noosfere.org/livres/EditionsLivre.asp?numitem=13...

I thought 11 years ago that e-ink with good refresh was achieved, seeing bookeen's prototype display videos and full screen scrolling.

But all e-ink devices I have seen since were slow and would form time to time show remanence.

I tried trillium and found it interesting but a little difficult to use (I prefer markdown to their editor). Then I tried editing on mobile and it really was awful. It was mostly impossible to use the contextual menu. Some words got doubled when I typed them. Pasting did not work.

So I came back to a folder of markdown files synchronized with syncthing that I edit with markor on Android and vim or vscode on desktop.
