Part of the hacks from https://ikeahackers.net/.

EssilorLuxottica (merger in 2018) is a French company with an headquarter in Paris and the stock part of the French index CAC40.

This reminds me Stanza (http://lbstanza.org/). Do you know it and what differences would you point out ?

That kind of problem is now well handled. See ISO 26262.

I'm starting to use Sia (sia.tech) to backup some heavy files starting with data I can afford to loose (even if I'm quite confident in the tool).

The scope is not the same as DO-178 but the nearest would be the Function Safety norm ISO 26262.

There has been a conference by Bertrand Meyer on the topic but I don't know if there is a video of it : https://bertrandmeyer.com/2015/10/12/danke-sehr/

The Urbanist (Monocle24) : http://monocle.com/radio/shows/the-urbanist/

4 months to go 1800m deep. It's now finished. Total cost of the project is 34M€ (11M€ just for the drilling).

I live nearby Bagneux, one of the cities mentioned in the article. People who are living near the drilling location are complaining a lot due to the noise and vibrations. It seems the drilling has to be performed continuously (24/7) so it's impossible to sleep or even live quietly. The company is paying hotel nights for many inhabitants.

It reminds me the "Temperature Maps" by Sho Sengoku in backgammon [1]. For a given move, it syntheses the equities (somehow probability of winning) for each possible dice roll of the opponent on next turn. It allows among other thing to see how dependent of luck you be after a move (by looking at the contrast between squares).

This island's shape reminds me of Corsica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsica).

*Issy-les-Moulineaux (with -eaux) !

In France, many forts has been build by a military engineer named Vauban[1] in the 17th century. His life is highly impressive. He worked a lot on fortifications and breaking of sieges. Outside of military building, he has been a scientist and an economist with modern views on taxes.

Harel's Statecharts are used a lot in automotive with Stateflow, the state machine tool of Mathworks MAtlab/Simulink.
