"Y a-t-il une discrimination de la Suisse romande par les #CFF?
#Rail2000 a été voté en 1987. A ce moment-lŠ, les romands utilisaient nettement moins le train que les alémaniques. Des priorités ont été fixées. Le réseau a été développé en Suisse allemande. Par ex., dans le projet Rail 2000, il…

"If anything, this author firmly believes that programming skills are second to those related to communication; most engineers coming out of colleges these days are unable to express themselves in public, to teach their peers, to write an essay or a blog post, to communicate their ideas to stakeholders, or to put together a simple documentation bundle without suffering a seizure in the process."

Les nouveaux chiffres sur la pendularité 2023 ont été publié par l'OFS:
👉 35% des pendulaires prennent mois de 15 minutes pour se rendre au travail. 9% prennent plus d'1 heure

Rant about PHP
You know a technology is declining when the most basic questions about its most bizarre quirks are left completely unanswered for years.
#PHP is like that. Every day I have many of these questions. I look for them. No one asked them before, no one wrote about them before.
I'm baffled by the lack of curiosity and proactivity of its community.
I know it sounds like me piling up on people I don't know anything about, but I used to invest a lot of time programming in PHP. I went to conferences, I made some open source libraries for it, like a PHP kernel for Jupyter Notebooks, I even made a library to work with dataframes, tensors and matrices in PHP (although I lost this one because my laptop was stolen before I released... and I didn't had it in me to rewrite it again).
Then, the ones who I admired the most in that space, like Nikita Popov, started leaving it to work in more intellectually vibrant communities... and it shows.
I'm sure Nikita Popov would be much more gracious than me when talking about it. I can only speculate about his motivations, but at least I can tell you about mine: It was precisely about that same lack of curiosity and creativity that I mentioned before, it felt unbearably grey and sad.
