In the first place why should EU have a cloud owned by anyone else than EU ?

Exactly.

Use OVH, Hertzner, Scaleway, etc.

Need managed services beyond scope of the above? There will be plenty of business (smaller and larger) offer you managed solution on top of other cloud providers.

But are they really a sensible alternative to AWS/azure when it comes to developer support etc.? Based on the offerings of European alternatives it seems that everything upto IAAS and limited PAAS offerings can be sourced European, but the real value-add is in development tooling, pipeline support etc. (e.g. AWS CDK) The lock-in on those tools are huge and Europe really need to step up to provide an alternative to that. Love to be proven wrong though.

"PFC solutions can carry oxygen so well that mammals, including humans, can survive breathing liquid PFC solution, called liquid breathing."

Liquid breathing has always sounded horrible to me, wouldn't it feel like you're drowning constantly?

For the first time in my life, I now have an apt analogy for having systemd on my servers.

It's like installing systemd-breatherd on your lungs.

Isn't that the stuff they used in the movie "The Abyss"?

Since there is the source now, does someone know what quantity/proportion of "PLEASE" the developer needs to write ?

Because IIRC, if you don't put enough or too much "PLEASE", the compiler won't compile.

Let's start with: I don't know. Also I can't read this language (BASIC variant?) and am browsing from a phone.

But this line at least outputs the error message:

https://github.com/rottytooth/INTERCAL72/blob/f94e0c8eaaf134...

edit: probably slightly complicated :D

but this makes me wonder if it's related to the source mutliplying some variable/register value by 3 in the error line:

> You will need at least 3 lines of code, with one PLEASE statement among them.

(from README)

Just searching "PLEASE" also shows increments and a comparison with a number written in hex... so it should be easy to figure out the intercal "please" halting problem instance, right? :)

Thank you so much for the time you took answering that existential question of mine! (And maybe others)

Thanks for your reply: apparently, sometimes questions as answers can be helpful :)

If you wrote the code, shouldn't be that simple and easy to write the commit message ?

I mean, what's the level of laziness to have to not want to write a few words explaining what the code is doing? Right, better use an AI asap and install all the bloat associated with just to spare some seconds thinking.

More than that will the AI put the issue number associated with the commit ?

</rant>

Can someone please explain me what's the real added value ?

There is no value in these kind of things. It's all vibed nothingness.

Everybody is scrambling to try and get a piece of the AI pie before the hype crashes. Doesn't matter if it's useful, just get something, anything, out there to show that you're on top of AI!

But don't worry, this madness will stop once the investor money finds a new bottomless pit to fill.

While I love the editor concepts, but I'm so used to cua bindings that it's difficult to embrace it. May I suggest to add this feature to the extra features list ? https://ergoemacs.github.io/

I did not read the article but I disagree with your statement "we all collectively know that making fuel out of food is dumb and inefficient". Sunflower oil fuel is a very good counter-example : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00218...

Yes, one of the examples I saw is Far Cry. In the 2, there was this nice mechanic of fire that spread from grass to trees to houses. It added a realistic dimension to the game. You think they kept it in the latest Far Cry ? No, of course they prefer to put very beautiful graphics than add/keep interesting mechanics. Also the number of bugs in the first release version of AAA's lately is insane. Signs that editors don't polish their games so they can sell them fast. This is not normal, we don't want mediocre quality for our games.

One of the counter-example is Baldur's Gate 3, this game is polished and oddly, people like it !

I feel like it's unreasonable to dismiss anything short of the literal holy grail of superconductors.

Same feeling here, also I think this is relevant : https://i.imgur.com/WMXCqCk.png
