Yes, but again that was a conventional weapon, and would have been fine under the treaty. I don't exactly condone it but it was also crap and never flew again. This video https://youtu.be/e-n_V5iEwAs goes into some of the reasons it was a particularly crap idea


The crossover point where winter tyres work better is < +7°C, it doesn't need to be below freezing.


The linked article claims "in dry conditions, summer tires have the best grip down to 0C", though, which doesn't seem to match where you suggest the crossover point is.


which is my experience, too.

winter tires, especially the snow versions, are straight out a source of danger here in central europe.

i just put some snow chains in for the winter surptises, and ride with my summer tires because its grip is clearly better on dry and wet bithumen, even in near zero temps, which is most of the season.


Did you read the article? I thought his whole point is that little piece of folk wisdom didn't turn out to be true in actual testing.


Hoka was founded by former Salomon employees, why would they want to move from Annecy?


Indeed, Annecy is gorgeous and pretty close to some of the largest ski areas on the planet?


Yeah, I totally agree. If I could found a 100M USD+ business from Annecy, that would be heaven on Earth!


At least one traditional UK bank requires a selfie and a passport scan.


There was a blog post from a couple of days ago that had been initially flagged, it seemed to me to have a good overview of AI for CAD, will try to find the link.


We could speedrun this and just call every product "the thing".


That name's already used by an even older technology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_%28listening_device%...


Supermarket bread in France is also industrial.


I wonder about bakeries too. When traveling in France and elsewhere in Europe, the uniformity of bakery bread has suggested to me that a lot of it is made from a mix.


It's a bit more complex but quality in bakeries varies a lot. First, if something is not called a Boulangerie, then they don't make the bread they sell.

Then there are things like Festival des pains (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_des_Pains in french) which is a group of mills, provides training recipes and flours. You see there bread a lot (like the Festive baguette). Those are still proper bread and the quality will vary depending on the baker. Most often bakers will have a mix of those breads and their own recipes. The branding tends to make those standard recipes more visible though.

In term of viennoiseries (croissants etc...), most bakers don't make their own and relies on industrial ones. It can be quite hard to spot, the best way to know that is if it mentions "Fait maison" (this can only be mentioned if it is made on the spot using raw ingredients if I'm not mistaken).

I find french supermarket bread not better than UK ones, it's the same technique and same crap result.


People complained about having to use ClearCase back then, it wasn't just the price that was wrong with it.


I helped swap a mess of ClearCase & Subversion over to git (early 2010s). What a fucking cursed piece of software!

Will admit it got exactly one thing right, which could absolutely justify everything else (including the price) for a long time: Software Bill of Materials, which is non negotiable in a lot of more serious/heavily regulated development contexts

That still didn't excuse the hacked together pile of ruby scripts our QA lead maintained, each one designed to unfuck a specific weird thing clearcase did. Once everything was on git, they just wrote another script that grabbed a bunch of tags from git and shoved them into clearcase to spit out the bom.


My first programming job was an internal line of business application at a mortgage vending company. There was an uncomfortable amount of time wasted waiting for someone to do something in ClearCase so I could commit. I've turned down interviews solely on the basis that I would be using that dumpster fire of lost productivity and UX from hell.


> Software Bill of Materials

Yet another thing that came from PRIDE, despite that PRIDE itself is little known in today's software industry.


The author praises the enterprise version vs. the more simpler one. Having had the pleasure coordinating one clearcase site in a very large distributed setup with significant replication traffic and windows and unix clients: It was an unstable mess.


There was an ice sheet starting just north of this area, it would have melted at 10°C.


If it didn't melt in summer, its start would have been further to the south.


There's still an ice sheet an hour from my home, and it's 5-35 degrees all summer....


I have been using the same mug for 50 years.
