I bet French people can't wait for their electric bills to halve overnight! (/sarcasm).

On a more serious note, EDF, France's suppliers sells their provision as 99.99% clean, which is not wrong, I guess, but a good selling point to their business.

Too bad this github has latest changes 5 years ago, I wonder what they could update with LLMs, etc.

I feel this whilst learning (trying to) German: when I think "how I would say this in German?" I got nothing less than a blank on my mind. But I'm a good "speaker" though, and sadly, I feel I'm not going anywhere as well...

The way I see it, it's not CS per se, it's about solving problems.

You hone that skill, and it will shape your future, whatever field.

You'll never be jobless having that particular skill.

Don't give up.

Great story, especially for a 9y! I love to know that one can rise to occasions given time and persistence and willingness to learn, at any age.

Thanks for sharing.

I once thought I lost a paper I'd written a while back (before OverLeaf and Cloud), and I've rewritten it only to find it back again: when I compared the versions, the second one had better sentences altogether. The core framing was there, but the quality was higher.

This reminds me of Eli Goldratt's quote: "Tell me how you measure me, I will tell you how I behave."

TL;DR: "It’s about real estate."
