John F. Kennedy, Wernher von Braun, Gene Kranz, Jim Lovell, Gus Grissom... the cast is incredible !

She did get the medal of freedom in 2016.

As for why she didn't get any IEEE award, the main reason is probably misogyny since the IEEE didn't know that women existed in the 20th century

Most of "traditional" engineering is not rocket science. I've worked in multiple industrial companies with traditional engineer and their jobs has a lot in common with ours.

Hillel Wayne wrote an interesting article about the subject :

I just asked them point blank. “Do you consider software engineering actually engineering?”
Of the 17 crossovers I talked to, 15 said yes.

Bonjour, ces gens qui vous lynchent, ils sont dans la pièce avec nous ?

Je ne sais pas s'ils ont le droit mais les policiers balancent aussi des feus d'artifice : https://bsky.app/profile/insoumisbreton.bsky.social/post/3mx6lsfk3gk2n

oui, c'est dans le titre du poteau.

Il dit peut-être la vérité. Si ça se trouve il trouve le RN trop mou et il est devenu un terroriste d’extrême droite en grandissant, on sait pas

Si l'nglaise en question est une Lotus ou une Triumph, c'est OK. Mais si ton nglaise n'est pas munie de roues la seule solution pour vous c'est l’exil, de préférence en territoire neutre comme l'Cosse ou l'Rlande

As a French guy, I cannot disagree with him. Some things are sacred in life and Cheese is one of them.

Really ? Indiana Jones has destroyed several archeological sites, stolen countless antic artifacts and believe that "X marks the spot". I'm not sure he's really fit for the job

When I return home from a hard day at work I read this post to remind me that even the best have hard days too:

You can't say that !

I once worked at a 15 employee company where the boss's wife and two brothers were all on the payroll with personal company cars !

If that's not family then I don't know what is family /s

"Super popular" is a bit of an overstatement. As a French developer for more than two decades, I've seen very few windev job posting and I've yet to meet another developer that has written anything in windev.

On the other hand, windev is famous in France for flooding french tech media with sexist ads for its products

Je crois qu'on dit "PÉ HÈM FÉ" mais ça fait longtemps que j'ai arrêté la LV2

Fait notable : il a reconnu les faits et n'a pas chercher à se cacher derrière son petit doigt. C'est assez rare pour être signalé.

Cela dit, j'espère qu'il sera condamné et que son ex compagne obtiendra réparation.

The problem I have with generic result types is that they're not idiomatic C#.
Most of the .NET framework and .NET librairies out there will use exception, TrySomething( out var result) style function or specialized result types (like HttpResponse for example).

So if you use the result pattern in your code base you will still have to deal with exception or other idiomatic patterns and the new developer will have a somewhat harder learning curve

Great article though

Just this afternoon I asked Claude Opus 5 to translate a simple 20 lines batch script to powershell and there at least was one error : it hallucinated a non existing parameter for the New-Service command.

LLM are useful but they're far from perfect

thank you

Thanks for the detailed answers.

Will there be some documentation to help developers choose between classic System.Decimal and IEEE 754 decimals types ?
