Indeed. The banks I deal with in France are unaffected.

This is being done while we speak here.

Happily hosting a site that will cross 4 billion queries per year there, and I didn’t face that banner you mention :-)

Pressure on the road, and profits, are not similar to those induced by pedestrians and cyclists.

Yes but in the case of GH, it also happens in cases where the data is old: not just a temporary drift.

The opt-in is bollocks. I am a LG owner and quite technical and used to legalese too. This will get them fined in Europe.

New comment by thibaut_barrere in "Pre-Release of Polars 2.0"

thibaut_barrere — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 08:56:32 +0000

I like when large projects do that. This gives leeway for sister projects (eg wrappers) to anticipate, room for apps that use it intensively to test things out (release candidate etc), something which has really helped me in the past.

In that specific case I use a Polars wrapper in Elixir (called Explorer) all week long, and I am very happy they are giving us early hints.

I do not read this in the article, I was more understanding that half the kids of the world could be concerned to a level or another, can you quote?

I made a preliminary attempt as well and had the same experience. I hope to renew with a better success.

Even before, Turbo Pascal was fairly appreciated in some circles (e.g. demomaking), quite productive and nice to use!

Some people tend to forget that you got to start somewhere, and a lot of huge undertakings started this way. Such as Linux ;-

It turns out public money is more expensive these days. Debt is a more mainstreamly exposed problem.

Same path & agreed. The amount of things you do not have to care about with BEAM/Elixir compared to Rails is really interesting.

It is one of these instances where « let the market decide » is not necessarily the best option on the long run.
