Congratulations @mircodotta & @jaguarul ! 🍾🥂

@ioanauoft IBM switched to Outlook? 😮

If you're email does not make it to the Focused tab in Outlook, I'm sorry, it's going to take days for me to see it.

@fasterthanlime 20+40=60, 7+8=15, and enough years immersed in French culture to know that soixante-quinze is 75

I just knew at some point it would look so good I’d have to partake and share. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@MonniauxD @SKLafon1 Le subreddit r/AskHistorians est populaire et a une bonne réputation (que je suis incapable de juger).

More surprising to me, we used to make laptops that included a printer? 🤔

They recommend a budget of FRF 20K, which would have been USD ~3.5K in 1994, or close to USD 7K adjusted for inflation.

I was throwing out some old magazines when I stumbled upon this feature on remote work from 1994. “French companies are considering it […] The advantages are obvious.”

@awsTO Asking as someone who hasn’t stayed up to date in years, what are some recent exciting synthesis results? Was there ever another FlashFill?

@fasterthanlime *RTC obviously..

@fasterthanlime Has someone implemented null modem over WebDTC yet, so this can be properly appreciated ?

@paulgb I like how the author(s) basically outs themselves as Bucharest alumni.

Me: remote work has the potential to flatten the planet and reduce location-based inequality. Employers: there is exactly one good university in all of continental Europe.

I’ve seen the take that once work goes remote it will bring down SWE salaries because employers will draw from a larger talent pool. My counterargument is that firms are too busy fighting for the same small pool of candidates who tick arbitrary boxes to notice a bigger pool.

@fasterthanlime Only logical explanation is that they charge you

@G_FRGNR J'aurais dit banquette ou compartiment s'il y a des "murs". Le look d'origine vient des trains sauf erreur. Faudrait trouver un québécois pour être sûr, ils doivent en avoir chez eux 🙂

HELP - Comment est-ce qu’on appelle ça en français ? En anglais on dit « booth ».

Second attempt with transliteration turned on, which seems to work reasonably well on Cyrillic and Greek. I wouldn't trust the results in North Africa, though.

(non-Latin alphabets are improperly treated as "all consonant", so you have to mentally blank out the rightmost part...)

Place names in Europe ending with a vowel (left) and consonant (right), aka the vanishing of 🇮🇹. Data from the wonderful @openstreetmap.

@paulgb Congratulations!

Life update! We have amazing neighbors who helped us put together a rooftop wedding when our original plans were postponed.

@trundle_jenkins For an extra challenge, move to France. You may master the language before you master AZERTY.

We played some remote Scotland Yard today. Which other board games have this property that you need the setup at just one location? No hidden cards, etc., for most players. All perfect information games qualify, but are there any other interesting ones?
