I stil daily drive a 2016 iPhone 5. I can relate. I can relate

I got a pixel 8 recently as replacement. Put grapheneos on it.

But can’t get myself to use it.

Bummer, I was really looking forward to that.

“Oh you are correct, it is a school, I see it now »

Unlike the Rafale ! That’s a true European jet

Sorry, I was being facetious and it does not show in writing.

I respect teacher work deeply and think they should be vastly more compensated than they are.

The fact that it you are a teacher it might be complex to buy a house and have kids is mind boggling.

I agree with your comment.

Cinder blocks. That what you are missing here.

Lots of house in France are made of that. Not “rocks” and that is a co2 intensive process to produce concrete.

See : Lafarge

I live in NeW Orleans. Where 90% of the housing stock is made of wood.

So the 5% French figures in 2025 confirm my impression. Most stuff are not made of wood in France.

Maybe it’s a language thing : when I say « made of wood » I mean that no stone are involved. There is no percentage. The whole frame is 2 by 4 from Home Depot.

Can you work well in a team ?

Being a work horse is nice. But if you can’t work with others, that might be one you are on the layoff list

I used to think that.

And then I started working for a different kind of companies.

I screen out any structure with VC money.

It means I work for company that you never heard of, but that are profitable year after year.

How? They are very careful who gets in. And they make sure everyone is actually useful. Ration manager to worker is really really low.

Oh, and they build a product with the intends of selling it. Crazy, I know.

I do that in real life. Currently with luffa seeds.

Much more fun than any app could be.

I don’t water them regularly but I run with twines and a bottle of fertilizer.

For a decent description of machine society you can check the Culture cycle form Ian Banks. AI are backing an organic society but they are also have their own.

Or Hyperion, fron Simmons. ( the « techno-center is a decentralized computing and plotting government)

Not with that attitude for sure. If the US or / and European union do that, it’s already a big chunk

I wish you interesting time!

I’m very familiar with Postgres and spinning one with postgis seems easy enough. Do I get more with duckdb?

Most of the time I store locations and compute distance to them. Would that being faster to implement with duckdb
