Laurent Bercot

Oh hi, new followers! Glad you liked my story. You should know what you're signing up for: - Critique of bad tech - which to me means most tech - with lots of snark. - Critique of late-stage capitalism; general leftie takes. - But most frequently and importantly: shitposts.

@gro_tsen I don't wot. But I'd be curious to ken the future where it happens.

IIUC, English used to have the same distinction between “to wot” and “to ken” as German between “wissen” and “kennen” or (roughly) French between “savoir” and “connaître”. But sadly the distinction has been lost under the common “to know”. Worth resurrecting “wot” and “ken”?

Turbo Pascal 3.02's EXE (39KB) was smaller than: • The minified version of jQuery 1.6 (88KB) • The Yahoo home page (215KB) • The zlib.h file in the NCBI C++ ToolKit (97KB) • The 'touch' binary on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (99KB) • The Wikipedia page for C++ (214KB)

@archiptere_pv Oui, c'est super rigolo, la manipulation des marchés 😬

@scheme1181 @KyleKulinski I hate to rain on the parade but this is AI-generated 😞

@KyleKulinski youtu.be/FeRp_SoZ_3E?si… Someone made a track for your channel it kinda slaps NGL

The craziest thing about the Afroman case is I listened to all the songs and they're complete bangers. Like should be top 10 songs in the country type bangers lmao

@archiptere Cent clochers peut-être, mais celui-là reste quand même le meilleur 😁

Faire un petit détour sur le chemin du retour pour la voir prendre feu

🚨 Yesterday I said my worst fear was that #Iran would retaliate in 🇶🇦 at Ras Laffan because that accounts for 20% of global LNG supply which was already offline since March 2. That is exactly what happened. With no end to the war in sight we are in uncharted water. 1. Ships in the Persian Gulf are not moving. Tankers and storage facilities are being hit every day. 2. Habshan in the 🇦🇪 is now shuttered too. Brent briefly touched $119. European gas up 17% today alone, doubled since Feb 28. 3. News is that countries in South East Asia are already rationing gas. 4. We are now witnessing structural supply destruction. The repair timeline on physical LNG infrastructure isn’t measured in weeks. Months at best maybe even years (depending on what was hit) 5. The world just got a lot colder and more expensive. 6. My attention today will be focused on Yanbu in Western 🇸🇦. This is the only alternate route available right now for oil to be exported outside the Persian Gulf. #OOPP #IranWar‌ #EnergyShock

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever. This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/18…) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (energyintel.com/0000017b-a7be-…). What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself). Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_n…) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there). Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up. From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

I forgot about this stupid shit but imagine if they poured $80 billion into feeding the hungry instead of this failed cartoon universe that nobody wanted

@archiptere Ben oui, comme d'hab avec tous ces softs d'entreprise. Malheureusement ton expérience est plus la norme que l'exception 😬

@laurentbercot En gros quand tu as 1 problème tu peux avoir 43 sources potentielles du problème et généralement tu ne connais pas l'existence de toutes Donc tu perds un temps monstrueux

Je sais que j'aurais jamais pu être dev parce qu'il y a 2 trucs qui me font perdre patience dans la vie : - avoir faim - cette putain de chierie de logiciel de merde qui veut pas me sortir des étiquettes cohérentes avec ces foutues nomenclatures de pièces à la con

there was a time not long ago when masculinity was associated with intelligence, professionalism, creativity and being a gentleman. now it’s synonymous with being a caveman.

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

@archiptere C'est un soft indispensable à l'archi, Revit, je suppose ? Hélas, ce n'est pas parce que c'est un outil incontournable que c'est un bon outil. Et si tu t'inquiètes de tes difficultés à faire marcher l'informatique, rassure-toi, les miennes sont bien pires 🙃

@laurentbercot Mais Revit quoi REVIT

@PaxAquitania 🎵 Verre sur verre de Cuba Libre 🎵

Du coup si Cuba construisait un porte-avions ça serait le...

@archiptere @MrRoudoudou La France Libre s'est mangée un iceberg

@MrRoudoudou La France Libre prend l'eau La France Libre en maintenance prolongée La France Libre en rade Les chiottes bouchées de la France Libre

Ils ne pouvaient pas trouver un nom plus bateau ?

@archiptere La différence c'est la quantité de normes... Le boulot que tu fais est super encadré et il est impossible de construire un bâtiment qui ne tient pas la route. Côté logiciel, c'est le Wild West, aucun contrôle, on fait au mieux mais le "mieux" de beaucoup de devs est nulissime 😭

1h pour dessiner, 2h30 pour débuguer Revit, un aprèm bien optimisé 👹

“Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.”

@archiptere Aucun regret, donc, si vous aviez un handicap dès le départ... 🤷

@laurentbercot En fonction d'avec qui on s'associe sur 1 même site (bailleur social, promoteur avec stratégie axée logements pas chers ou logements de standing, programme mixte...) on ne part pas avec les mêmes contraintes, ce qui peut être faisable pour l'un ne l'est pas forcément pour l'autre

TROISIÈME CONCOURS....

@Catersu @gro_tsen Scientific contributions from conservatives? Where? 🧐

@gro_tsen Would it be okay for conservative scientists to start trolling their political opposites in their scientific contributions as well?

How to troll the conservative right's cancel culture on certain keywords: “Diversity, equity, and inclusion for problems in additive number theory” arxiv.org/abs/2603.15556 😂 (And yes, this is a serious math survey paper… which people should and hopefully will cite.)

@Catersu @gro_tsen Oh hey, you caught one! 😃 What is great about this is you just have to click the link and read the abstract to understand what it's really about, but since conservatives can't read, the title will drive them mad 😁

@gro_tsen The authors make it clear (in the title, no less) that the objective of this paper is not just to make a scientific contribution, which is awful.

@archiptere OK boomer

X des fois c'est blessant
