Yah, France as well. My boss was at 30h / week.


IIRC France has a higher fertility rate than neiboors.


Because France has more Muslim immigrants, not because of their policies.

What other initiative of that scale do you have in mind ?


Like a single autocratic government.


It's an autocratic government that banned hiring Norwegians and then paid me to write open source code, which necessarily isn't an activity you can expect to keep secret. That's how well the government is able to impose its policies on its own branches.

Don't expect magic feats from autocratic organisations.


Fun fact. In French it’s distinctly not a whale. But a very large fish


I don't know of any translation in English that says whale either: https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Jonah%201%3A17 I think the idea that it was a whale comes mostly from children's adaptations extrapolating from the fact that it says "big fish", whales are big, and the people of the time wouldn't have made a linguistic distinction between fish and fish-like marine mammals.


As long as we are on this line of thought, many children's books like to put an ending that sounds like Jonah was nice and happy at the end, which is not there at all. It ends with him being admonished for valuing the plant but not the 20k people. I use this as a litmus test when looking at children's Bibles.


Also the story of Jericho. "Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword." is often glossed over!


It’s not about rural places. It’s about how cities are centered around car.

Cities in the us are basically highway with warehouse around it.

It’s hard to navigate without a car, and public transportation are a afterthought.


I live in New Orleans. It’s 1h away of commute.

They pay a solid 30% below market. ( 100k for a senior eng position )


At 30% below market, I imagine most of their applicants are either true believers, fuck-ups, or lying about their experience. Probably mostly fuck-ups.


Fuckups lying about their experience who truly believe they can get away with it.

The tri-fuckta.


I’m on a 2016 IPhone 5S and it works ?


Do you have some idea of a root cause for that? Sound hellish.


I don't. There were a lot of moving parts that I ended up changing at once to resolve the issue.

For what it's worth though, I was using a very similary configuration on my 6650 XT at the time, and that was working fine as long as I set the environment variable: HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0. The issue I was seeing was on a machine that had a 7900 XTX, and IIRC I was not setting that environment variable. I suspect that somewhere in the chain something thought the card was one thing, when it was actually another, similar thing.

The behavior was really weird though. It would have tons of typos, but it was still readable. It would also make the same typo for the same word over and over again, and it would use really weird punctuation and whitespace.


France provide such public meeting space for non profit. It’s convenient.

It does happen in the US as well. On a city per city basis.
