Just qualified at rank 1088 of round 1b of google coding competition #codejam... But what truly makes my day is that my son has beaten me by 212 spots! #placeauxjeunes

For the 24th consecutive year, we forgot our wedding anniversary. Upside: this year, it only took us 12 days to notice. And we realized we always had an easy way to track... #420day, next year.

I lnow that my French accent isn’t the best but that’s what Apple Siri gave me for « Weather in Paris, France ». I am not sure my phone think particularly highly of me. Upside: I got the weather in Paris anyway, so I can’t complain. #youhadonejob

Taking care of #brexit refugees in Paris while we still can. After the mandatory quarantine, here is my new BBC micro, the most glorious British computer of the 80’s. And with an attitude! Long live to the Beeb! #retrocomputing

Is there a better way to spend one’s weekend than restoring the second most magical computer ever? First boot into NeXTstep 3.2, brings backs so much memories... and typing this on an iOS device that runs a later version of the same OS... #retrocomputing #m68k #bigendian

That #bash one liner is unfortunately the first thing that came into my mind to solve yesterday’s (day 5) #AdventOfCode ... ( echo "ibase=2" ; cat input.txt | tr 'FBLR' '0101' | sort | tail -1 ) | bc #unixforever

This year’s google hash code is about roads and traffic lights. The example they give is on the left. My home is on the right. Is this getting personal? #hashcode2021

Thanks to a little mnemotechnic idea I got last year, I did remember our wedding anniversary for the first time... Happy 25th #weedingday, Nolwenn !

Not saying that back in the days programming was harder, but this is from the Macintosh THINK C documentation of PBClose, circa 1991… Disk First Aid 6.0.7 can restore your drive when you close the wrong file. Hopefully, that was the last macflim bug… #retrocomputing

Roe v. Wade overturned. I can’t believe it. What a sad day for America. These are the consequences of the 2016 vote. I can only hope that Americans, having once again exhausted all other possibilities, will do the right and fix their once great country #roeoverturned

Another #darkpattern from Uber : if you reserve a trip in advance and they can’t find a driver, they will abruptly cancel, and such cancelled trip will NOT appear in your history, as to hide their failure (but if YOU cancel, YOU’ll have to pay a fee, of course).
