TLDR: standing all day long can be worse than sitting, but alternating standing and sitting positions is very good for your health.

Standing desks have never been promoting standing all day imo, the title is pure clickbait. Standing desks are good for your health, just use them correctly.

I’d say as many as in other countries

La main droite, c’est celle qui a le pouce à gauche

Not for screwing/unscrewing but in France we have a satire mnemonic for remembering right and left:

The right hand is the one with the thumb pointing left.

Works only if you look at the back of your hands, and obviously not useful. We use it mainly to mock someone who mix right and left

How do they know they weren’t taking off? Maybe they were able to fly without wings!

Awesome fact btw

• Big endian (a very powerful NPC)
• Hardware abstraction (a spell that makes all the stuff disappears)
• Obfuscation (invisibility spell)
• Multiplexing (ability to cast several spells as one)
• Dangling reference (when wrong information is given by somebody)
• Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
• Pure virtual method (anything somebody learned but will never use)
• Diamond inheritance (when someone in the party dies and all of their money is spread accross the others)

Can you tell what’s my job?

“pédé” is a bad word for homosexual males in french (I think it translates to faggot), so I got this really wrong at first

Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

What’s the name of your employer again?

Seriously, those are really good conditions, I’m glad you are aware of that.

Is that really a thing? I’ve seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works…

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company’s trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn’t it?

Edit: I’m European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

I heard a story about a therapist that used RPGs as a tool to diagnose patients. They held group sessions with several patients and then had a private session with each of them to debrief.

I’m convinced a lot of things can reflect on the way people play and make up their character.

I’d say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it’s still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it’s a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.

I do run Piped locally for my family’s use, it seems that it works better than public instances but I haven’t really measured to what extent (except for ping, which is obviously excellent at 4ms).

I would say that the problem with self-hosting for private use is limited privacy, as the benefits of grouping multiple users behind the same proxy are lost. I try to mitigate this by routing all piped traffic through a VPN though.
