Oh boy, how could I forget about the Iranian team, and the other players/referees/staff that were rejected or stuck at the airport for hours ? It was worse than a sh-t show actually.

First, it was a new formula of the tournament with more teams which explains the headlines about a someone setting a new record every 2 days.

Second, the hydration (ads!) breaks were clearly used to tweak some tactics, player positionning, etc, making it another half-time. It's a strategic opportunity. Why not introduce a 2 min drill, then ? - yuck- That's not football.

Third, I won't talk about that specific red card or that penalty kick, but the fact that players and staff complained so much about the refereeing issues hurts the trust we can have into the game as a whole.

And that 27 min half-time... Seriously ?!

I'm so happy to see they care enough to take a stand. The last World Cup was a sh-t show. I expect the LA olympics to be no better.

So, the amish, the rastafarians and the buddhists monks were right ?

I went the same route. I have bought stuff from the 2000s for my 10yo girl: pink plastic digital camera, mp3 player, a desktop PC in the middle of the living room.

Btw, do you know any website where we can legally download mp3 ?

I live in a small town and I have noticed that I just have be outside and look available. I may be gardening, washing my car or just hanging, and people will randomly stop to start conversations, or just say "hey". That reminds me of our grandparents and how they used to just sit on the front porch and someone would see them, start chatting, and maybe come in and have tea. We've lost those moments of availability.

I was using VS Code when it happened. I said "why not try Copilot?", and guess what? All LLM are not equals :)

Not today, but the day before I launched my 2nd attempt at making chocolate from cocoa pods. The 1st time, the fermentation failed and I just got rotten seeds in a pot.

I am building a few catalog workflows in n8n in order to synchronize our ERP data with Akeneo. I know it looks incredibly boring but as I progress I have to get in touch with many departments, and it raises questions about how we manage data within the company. The people I expected to be the most reactionary about it - after all I am sticking my nose into their business - are actually the most helpful because they see an opportunity to make some tasks less painful.

It resonates with me. I live in a small country (luckily an European one) where investments do not flow into tech. I have talked with many of my fellow countrymen that feel the same. Maybe we will never reach our full potential (professionally) by working here. Remote work is part of the solution for now, but it remains rare and requires a trust signal.

My only suggestion is to keep pushing until you make it.

Drawing! I always loved pencil drawing, but it is an activity I had to put aside because it's time-consuming and we have a 3 yo at home that is also very time-consuming. After years of not doing it, I feel I lack the meditative part of it.

I am evaluating drawing tablets, if you have any recommendation. I am thinking about the Huion Kamvas 13.

I regret buying an okay-ish car. I should have bought a cheap rubbish car, or paid the price for a good car. After 3 years of owning it, I'm stuck paying and repairing a car I want to dump.

I already felt the need to persist data between different nodes and workflows, so I made a bespoke API with dedicated endpoints that perform CRUD tasks (Yes, it defeats the purpose of a no-code platform but I can code, so...). I have to say I love N8n so far, it is a great productivity tool.
