  • Work related project was a library for curves representation (polynomial, bezier, and a lot of other types) in C++. I liked working on it for several reasons. First one is that I could finally start something from scratch after years of working on legacy code. No dependency on strange old library from the team, only mainstream libraries.

    But mostly it was because I learned a lot on this project. I had to mix template programming, heavy use of polymorphism, python bindings of the c++ and serialization together. I had experience in all of this stuff already, but mixing everything together bring a lot of new troubles and you have to understand how it works more in deep to be able to solve them.

    I’m not making “famous” open source package with thousands of download and used everywhere, but seeing this package still in use in several other projects (and not only in my initial team) even after I left the initial team feels good. One day someone from my new company recommended to use “my” library as dependency to solve one of our problem, without knowing that I was the author, saying that it was a good well written lib. That’s a nice ego boost!



  • Ok I knew my data were old but I wasn’t expecting such a change. I based my answer on the latest “complete” report I knew and it was from 2011. I was expecting the solar to reduce emission as the technology improved obviously, but I found it very strange that the nuclear emission was higher in your source than in the one from 2011. After reading carefully it turns out that the change in safety and regulations for building new nuclear powerplants changed and lead to a big increase of the co2 emission during building. I thought that most of the co2 emission from nuclear was from uranium/plutonium extraction and enrichment but apparently the building itself is a major part of it.






  • One of the recipe of my diet, nothing fancy but taste good for very good nutrional value:

    Cook half portion green lens and half red rice (called “wild rice” sometimes) in salted boiling water.

    Dice half an onion and cook it with the the oil from the tuna can in a hot pan. After few minutes add the tuna. Separate in small piece with a wooden spoon and cook for ten minutes.

    When rice and lens are cooked, dry them, add to the pan, reduce heat to low and mix. Add herbs. Keep cooking and mixing for 4 minutes.

    It also really depend the brand you buy. Try to take the cans cooked with olive oil or white wine.



  • I didn’t know about whisk being bought. I’m using it quite a lot, but i’m nearly never check the “communities” or “discover” pages.

    The only recent change I didn’t like was to add specific sections “breakfast, lunch, dinner” in the meal planner because it add 3 more clicks to correctly put a recipe where you want …

    I’m curious what change make you think it’s going downhill ? So far It’s still the best option I found for recipe + meal planner + groceries list app.
