  • What books are your favourite and what are you reading now?

    Jump

  • The Expanse by James S.A Corey is also worth your time. Currently reading The Faith of Beasts by the same author, part 2 of The Captive's War. Enjoying it so far.

  • Germany would rather accept weaker cloud services than depend on US providers

  • That's... how you build stronger cloud services?Using EU cloud providers gives them the financial muscles to build stronger services. I'm moving everything I can to EU services, even if that means that I have to pay a little extra for it, or get slight worse services because I want them to be able improve. I will however shop between EU providers so that I get the best value for money. I'm not an idiot.

  • Trump says France must scrap tech 'sales tax' or face 100% wine tariffs: NY Post

  • The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.

    This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts and helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to.
