What impresses me with Faust is the sheer number of targets they have: most audio plugin formats out there, but also web audio plugins, the new SOUL language (https://soul.dev/), Rust, C++, C, LLVM bitcode.
It seems to me, after quickly reading liquisoap documentation, that Faust is much more low-level: liquidsoap would connect different audio effects, whereas Faust can be used to write the audio effects, at the level of sample-by-sample processing.
Image search is one of the pain points when you want to deploy your own cloud, and what I'd miss compared to Google Photo or that image search in Dropbox.
> will enter service in 2038; the year the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is due to be retired.
So they end up with one, again, if they even build it. Even the UK can do better than that, though admittedly the French carriers are at least notionally more capable than the crap Gordon Brown foisted on us.
Yeah, this is the same as how it worked in UK (still works? I dunno). I didn't have a TV growing up, bought one when I was about 14 thinking I was being sneaky about it, address was taken when I was buying it and obviously some box got checked on some system somewhere and my parents got bombarded with letters.
There is actually something called "service minimum" by law for public transport workers during strikes. Without it, there would not be any metro or RER at all during strikes in Paris.
So let me, please, pay zero taxes, during the strikes. Or the minimum that doesn't go to those who are striking. It's a public service, like medicine... What if one has an appointment to an oncologist at 11AM, outside of "service minimum" hours. It's so irresponsible!
Well, I want no taxation without representation, literally! Public transportation is financed from taxes. People who take jobs there must have some obligations, like I do to my employer. Why they should decide whether I should go to work or pay so much for taxi, if it's available at all? If those people working on public transport are not happy, I do understand them... But please announce everything in advance, not the Charlie Foxtrot situation that happened a year ago.
All lines fulfilled this objective except line 4, with 96.1%
AS for RER, there is an official governemental website that gives the numbers: http://www.qualitetransports.gouv.fr/les-chiffres-de-la-ponc... (in French)
The most reliable one in 2020 is the A with about 94% of reliability and the worst one was RER B in March, with 78.9%.
All these numbers are very very low, when you consider that this is essentially how Parisian are supposed to go to and from work, get food, go to school, the dentist and so on.
The best RER gets you late around 1 every 20 trip. So once every 2 weeks on average if you count two trips per day. The worse one doesn't get you on time almost every other day !
You basically have to factor the unreliability of the transport system every single trip. This is very far from something you can count on. Even for the best lines.
