Parade du Grotesque

I have done quite a few martial arts. Anyone who tells you you can learn X and fight against someone who is armed (knife or gun) is simply spouting B.S.

If someone pulls out a gun on you, give that person what he wants and pray you are not going to end up shot anyway.

If someone pulls out a knife on you, again, don’t try to be a hero: give that person what he wants. Don’t play hero, especially if the guy holding the knife seems to know what he is doing.

Martial arts are just a way to train your body and your mind, both trainings are valuable in and out of themselves. They will keep you calm in a tense situation, they may even save your life since no one wants to mess with a dude that keeps his cool. Ultimately, a street fight can be avoided just by looking calm and composed.

There is a guy named Arthur David Olson who maintains a small database of all the time zones in the world, including things like leap seconds and such. It’s used by everybody and it is updated several times a year. See here:

I live in Paris, I have been to London, Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Athens and Rome.

My two favourites are Berlin and Rome. Berlin because of the energy and just plain coolness, Rome because where else can you find so much amazing art and architecture within 10 or 20 minutes of each other, walking distance? And the food is amazing, of course.

Second in line are Amsterdam, Athens and London, all of them great, but London I found was really expensive. Athens is a bit behind Rome, but a truly lovely place to explore. Amsterdam is also lovely, accessible and very very beautiful.

Brussels is OK, I guess, but mainly for the people who I thought were very kind. Some places in Brussels are ok, but it’s not as nice as Amsterdam for example.

Next in line for me are Madrid and Lisbon, I love Spain already and I can recommend places like Granada and Sevilla, which are totally amazing.

If it’s several python modules, then yes, choose a license and then contact pypi and see if you can distribute your modules through them.

One very important thing is that you have to make sure everything is ready for distribution: check your project will work (possibly starting with a blank VM), what its dependencies are, that the requirements.txt file is good and operational, that automated tests are available for people to run after installing, etc.

In other words, the ideal project is not just a question of license but also all the scaffoldings you supply with it.

Thanks for opening your code!

I have Osmand+ and it works fine. One very easy way to improve the performance is to download the maps you need ahead of time.

Start by downloading your metro area and I can guarantee that positioning and navigation will be instantaneous. Unless your phone is to blame. FYI I am using a Google Nexus 7a. Very happy with Osmand+.

We are talking about programming, studying, surfing the web and average computer usage. OpenBSD is more than enough for all that.

OpenBSD.

Period.

Sure, you can harden Linux to the same level of security. But OpenBSD comes with all the goodies installed out of the box.

Liferea does the job and worries pretty well.

Please keep in mind I haven’t done any work on either for a few years now. I would definitely check if something is possible today… But with little hope. AWS support should be able to give you more infos on this connection (or lack thereof).

Worked on both AWS and GovCloud for a while, and there was NO communication between the two at the time.

GovCloud was its own thing, completely separate from regular AWS.
